Alternative printer driver for Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P205b?

foo2hbpl contains driver of p105b/p205b .

The website is http://foo2hbpl.rkkda.com/

I tested it in archlinux.

Works very smoothly with cups.

Enjoy it.

Thanks Broiyan.

Dang! I feared that was the only way to get this printer going. I have sent an e-mail to Xerox Support. I'm hoping they can give some guidance on how to get it working. I'll post again once I have an answer from them.

Thanks again, KN

OK, here is the response I got from Xerox. It's not very helpful :(

Hello,

This is a GDI printer and is not compatible with Linux and UNIT operating systems.

install the package alien from your repository, it will allow you to convert the rpm package to a .deb file.

instead of installing the newly created deb package, extract the files. with dpkg -x nameOfConvertedPackage.deb hopefully it contains the stuff you need when selecting printer driver from the intall wizzard.
