Overview

To provide printer spooling and network print server functionality, UNIX-based printing uses LPD/LPR port 515 or lp to port 9100 Xerox printers can communicate using either protocol. Xerox Printer Manager Xerox Printer Manager is an application that allows you to manage and print to multiple printers in UNIX and Linux environments. Xerox Printer Manager allows you to: Installing Xerox Printer Manager Before you begin, ensure that you have root or superuser privileges to install Xerox Printer Manager. To install Xerox Printer Manager: Launching Xerox Printer Manager To launch Xerox Printer Manager: Printing from a Linux Workstation To print from a Linux workstation, install either a Xerox® print driver for Linux or a CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) print driver You do not need both drivers. Xerox recommends that you install one of the full-featured custom print drivers for Linux.  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.  Installing the PPD File on the Workstation Adding the Printer Printing with CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) 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 lookup 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.  To install the XTOOLS library, select the downloadable files for the IBM AS/400 operating system, unzip the downloaded XTOOLSxxxx.zip file, then follow the instructions to install the library Download and install the library only once. Notes : Installing the WSCO Library and Setting Up Print Queues For detailed instructions on installing the WSCO library and setting up print queues, refer to the installation instructions that are included with the library. Configure and check the status of network connected printers. Set up a printer on your network and monitor the operation of the printer once installed. Perform maintenance checks and view supplies status at any time. Provide a common look and feel across the many different suppliers of UNIX and Linux operating systems. Download the appropriate package for your operating system. The files available are: XeroxOSDPkg-AIXpowerpc-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.rpm for the IBM PowerPC family.

To install the custom print driver, log in as root, then type the appropriate command for your system: AIX: rpm -U XeroxOSDPkg-AIXpowerpc-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.rpm HPUX: swinstall -s XeroxOSDPkg-HPUXia64-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.depot.gz \* Solaris, x86 based: pkgadd -d XeroxOSDPkg-SunOSi386-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.pkg Solaris, SPARC based: pkgadd -d XeroxOSDPkg-SunOSsparc-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.pkg The installation creates a Xerox directory in /opt/Xerox/prtsys. AIX: rpm -U XeroxOSDPkg-AIXpowerpc-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.rpm HPUX: swinstall -s XeroxOSDPkg-HPUXia64-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.depot.gz \* Solaris, x86 based: pkgadd -d XeroxOSDPkg-SunOSi386-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.pkg Solaris, SPARC based: pkgadd -d XeroxOSDPkg-SunOSsparc-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.pkg The installation creates a Xerox directory in /opt/Xerox/prtsys. To install the Xerox Office Standard Driver on Linux platform, log in as root, then type the appropriate command for your system: Linux, RPM based: rpm -U XeroxOfficev5Pkg-Linuxi686-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.rpm Linux, Debian based: dpkg -i XeroxOfficev5Pkg-Linuxi686-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.deb The installation creates a XeroxOffice directory in /opt/XeroxOffice/prtsys. Linux, RPM based: rpm -U XeroxOfficev5Pkg-Linuxi686-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.rpm Linux, Debian based: dpkg -i XeroxOfficev5Pkg-Linuxi686-x.xx.xxx.xxxx.deb The installation creates a XeroxOffice directory in /opt/XeroxOffice/prtsys. From your computer, access a command window At the command prompt, log in as root, then type xeroxofficeprtmgr. Press Enter or Return . On the Xerox Support website, from the Drivers and Downloads page, download the Xerox PPD for CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System). Copy the PPD file into the CUPS ppd/Xerox folder on your workstation If you are unsure of the location of the folder, use the Find command to locate the PPD files. Follow the instructions that are included with the PPD file. Verify that the CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) daemon is running. Open a Web browser, type https://localhost:631/admin, then press Enter or Return . For User ID, type root For password, type the root password. Click Add Printer , then follow the onscreen prompts to add the printer to the CUPS printer list. To print to a specific printer in System V, type lp -dprinter filename, then press Enter . To print to a specific printer in Berkeley, type lpr -Pprinter filename, then press Enter . The host print transform works only on AFPDS and SCS files To use the WSCO for printing, convert IPDSformatted printer files to AFPDS files. Administrator credentials with IOSYSCFG permissions are required to create a device description or a remote queue.
