Some time ago, I put this aside because Xerox said it would work the problem.
Xerox has since refused to work it. Xerox does support this device on Redhat
Enterprise systems, but will not support it on Fedora systems. A Xerox
user-support back-line engineer was able to reproduce the problem on a
Fedora-18 system (hardware unknown). Xerox engineers were not able to
reproduce the problem on a 32 bit Enterprise system. I now need to revive this
issue here.
I don't know how printing works ("under the hood"); and I do not know the
jargon involved. So let's please take this one easy step at a time. My first
question: Once the Xerox driver (an RPM) for the device is downloaded, and RPM
and cups have done what they do, what files (names) should be where (paths)
with what ownership and what permissions? This information will let me check
that the download and install worked correctly. I did the download and install
as the root user.
thanks,
Bill.
