Do any of you have experience configuring any of the following Xerox
printers with Linux? We have a 265ST, 215 and 2006 color that need to be
functional via Linux/Samba if I've any hope of eliminating my NT file/print
server - something I badly want to do.
Here is what I've been able to accomplish with my Linux/Samba box (thanks
for your help) so far:
* support browsing by NT clients
* participate in NT domain security
* print to hp 4mv from NT boxes
* print to hp 4mv from Samba box
* drop/get files to/from Linux box
* set NT domain passwords on Linux box - eliminate login box for NT
clients upon Samba access
* share out user directories
The final elements, at least the ones that I can identify, that remain to be
sorted out, and which are mandatory for nuking Bill's Server Box are:
* get a tape backup operational - don't expect problems here, and
* get the xerox printers working - I do expect probs
These printers don't appear on the linuxprinting.org site.
Xerox appears to have a driver for the 265 but not the 215 or 2006.
I've tried the automated install of the Xerox driver on both RH 7.2 and
Slack 8.0. Both augered in. Before I bang my head against the wall too much
more I'd like to find out if this is doomed from the start.
So the general question is: Am I out of luck or is there some chance that
these printers can be made to work properly via Linux?
Thanks Much
