but it says "no destination added" As a newbie, I don't know what that means. Help please. Thanks.
And I cannot see your screen from here and do not know what steps you have
taken. Just pretend that I cannot see your screen and give me enough
information that I know what is happening.

Here's what I did Patrick. Apparently it wasn't the same as the first time. Test page printed, but just in b & w. localhost:631 takes me to Cups page 1.5.0 entered username and password. Then clicked Administration, Printers, Add printer, clicked that.
Add printer page Has box for connection with options. I chose socket://hostname:9100 (hostname is 192.168.1.103) hit continue. Next page: Name box: Xerox. Description: Xerox Phaseer 6140N PS v 1.1, Location box: left blank. Sharing, checked that, then coninue. Next page: Box with Makes of printers scroll to Xerox click it. Get box w/models: the 6140N not there so chose the 6130N Foomatic/Postscript. (This worked in Ubuntu and Windows 7.) Next page: Set default options: click the box Menu page: Xerox at top. 2 boxes under that ,drop down arrows in both. One box: Maintenance, other is Administration. Chose maintenance, top item in drop down box is print test page. It DID print the Cups test page but no color.
Now, is the printer set up or do I have to go to the system settings, printers, add printer etc so the printer will work in the system such as email and documents from Libre office and with color. Thanks Hope this helps and is not too detailed. Bob
