Sometimes it is hard to find the PPD for a printer. With some older HP
models (My beloved HP8K), you have to extract the WIndows driver and
take the PPD out.
That's a gorgeous printer you have there!

It was time to replace our trusty HP LaserJet 4P (going on 20 years
old). Still works, probably needs cleaning... We've gotten tired of
the other color inkjet printer that the cartridges ~!@#$% up so quickly.
Got a new Xerox Phaser 6280.
The point of this email is to compare the printer installations between
Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 and Ubuntu Lucid 10.04. I did the Lucid machine first
and it got all confused (or I got impatient and just blasted it). Set
the printer up as a Generic Level 1 PostScript and it works fine. Pulled
up the Hardy system and it found the Xerox without any complaint: push,
pull, click, wham, bam, thank you ma'am.
Really.
I've been meaning to set up a Precise 12.04 system and just haven't
gotten around to it at home. I am running Precise at the office with
some issues. We'll see how well Precise likes finding the Xerox printer...
