I too have had the same problems since Fedora 9/10. Ubuntu just installed it without any effort on my part. You have to have system-config-printers, Foomatic, cups printers, etc installed and you have to go to the Xerox site and get the appropriate ppd file. For my Fuji Xeros C2100 I needed .. PCL_DocuPrint-C2100.ppd. It's a plain text file. Install this in /usr/share/cups/model/ There are also pxlcolor.ppd, pxlmono.ppd, textonly.ppd in that directory. In the <System><administration><Printers> select the parallel port option so your printer is recognised by the computer. Select "Provide ppd" option and navigate tho the ppd that you installed as above. Your computer should then find the printer and list it in the printers If you go to printer properties you should see the printer listed in the Device URI as something like this usb://FUJI%20XEROX/DocuPrint%20C2100 which is my Device URI The printer should work Unfortunately Fedora do not provide a usb printer selection option so its gotta be done through the back door manually.
