install Fuji Xerox DocuCentre 450 I printer in linux
The general id is to get the ppd file for this printer from the official driver for this printer, then use cups to install it.Steps:
1. Make sure you have cups installed
2. Check where msexpand exist, if not exist, install mscompress at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/mscompress.htm, we need msexpand from this package to uncompress the ppd file from the official
3. Get the Postscript printer driver of DocuCentre 450 I for Windows 95/M at http://www.fujixerox.com.au/downloadfile/ap550i/win9xps412205-051111-nsap_on.zip . The file I get is: win9xps412205-051111-nsap_on.zip, view http://www.fujixerox.com.au/support/downloaddriver?productId=400&operatingSystemCode=all for updates.
4. Unzip it, you will get a folder Win9x_Me
5. uncompress the ppd file we need using msexpand
msexpand fx45dep1.pp_
6. Move the the uncompressed file from fx45dep1.pp to fx45dep1.ppd
7. open http://localhost:631/ in browse or sudo gnome-cups-manager
The newer cups will auto detect your printer, if it not detected your printer, please use raw socket connection,and use socket://hostname as the device uri.
8. When ask driver, please select Provide a PPD File in CUPS web admin page, or select install new driver in gnome-cups-manager. Select fx45dep1.ppd if you are asked for a ppd file.
