Hi Roger I tried to install driver and print but i think the problem is with accounting. Because we are using shared printer on LAN and everyone is having an account on the printer. But username/password is not being asked when printing command is given and no printing is done. Please tell me how to enable accounting. vikram Roger-140 wrote: > On 06/12/11 17:56, vikramsp wrote: >> Hi >> I tried to install the driver downloaded from xerox official website. >> When i run the command ./xpadmin and setup accordingly and give >> a test-run; the xerox workcentre 7242 gives somes response, make >> sound but do not print.

You have to do it the long hard way and point it to pxlcolor.ppd for or pxlmono.ppd if it's a bw printer. If you're using fedora look in /usr/share/cups/model/ or do a 'locate' for those files. Add Printer, select LPT#1, Choose Driver, Provide PPD file, enter the path to the ppd and follow the prompts. If you're using fedora look in /usr/share/cups/model/ or do a 'locate *.ppd | less' for those files. Also check if foomatic is installed Roger -- users mailing list users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I have also setup user account in the setting. We can't really help you with software that someone else wrote. We'd really like to, but we don't know anything about it. A comment on http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Xerox/Xerox-WorkCentre_7242: I got this printer working with this driver: "Generic PCL 5c Printer Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5c" Tested and works: Colors, Ink/Toner level This might be a better plan for you.
