Does anyone has managed to install the drivers for Xerox Phaser 3117 printer ? Yast detects my printer but there are no drivers provided.
thanks
Hi Cristea, Find the printer on the Xerox website, then follow the links for driver download, select "linux" as your OS, which should take you here: http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-3117/file-download/enin.html?operatingSystem=linux&fileLanguage=en_GB&contentId=54207&from=downloads&viewArchived=false This gets you a 26MB driver package. Most of this is software that you neither need nor want; the bit you need is the PPD file. (see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostScript_Printer_Description) So you save the package, open it with Ark, go to the "ppd" folder, then "C", then extract the file Phaser-3117.ppd, and save this somewhere on your system. Then, you can delete the (rest of the) package. Finally go to YaST > Printer > Add > Driver packages ... and simply point it at the PPD file you extracted.
