I am considering a Xerox PHaser 6120NP printer. Has anyone used one with the Linux Cups drivers from the Xerox website? Any input would be welcome. -- Russ

Cups drivers is a sort of misnomer in my view. Usually all you need is a ppd to get any postscript printer to work. Cups even has a facility to import a ppd file for printers its never heard of. As I understand it, a ppd is the same for windows and linux. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Xerox Phaser 6120np.ppd: FAIL **FAIL** BAD DefaultKMSimGrayTreatment CompositeBlack REF: Page 40, section 4.5. I looked at the manual but did not understand whats wrong. the KM vendor designation is used in many other lines of code prior to the failed line so I was not able to figure out whats wrong. Not a programmer. Will this one error prevent the printer from working under CUPS? Thanks again for responding. -- Russ

I suggest you look at the following page for info on that printer. http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Xerox-Phaser_6120 -- Regards, Graham Smith
