If you use CUPS, ensure that CUPS is installed and running on your workstation The instructions for installing and building CUPS are contained in the CUPS Software Administrators Manual, written and copyrighted by Easy Software Products For complete information on CUPS printing capabilities, refer to the CUPS Software Users Manual, see  related content .  Installing the PPD on the Workstation Adding the Printer Printing with CUPS CUPS supports the use of both the System V (lp) and Berkeley (lpr) printing commands. AS/400 Xerox provides Work Station Customization Object (WSCO) files to support IBM i V6R1 or later A Work Station Customization Object is a look-up table that the host print transform (HPT) uses to translate AS/400 commands to the equivalent PCL code that is specific to a particular printer A WSCO file can modify many print features, including: paper input tray, 2–sided printing, characters per inch, lines per inch, orientation, fonts, and margins. The XTOOLS library provides a source WSCO file for each supported Xerox printer or device The library and installation instructions are available from www.support.xerox.com.
