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.
no, not too detailed. Looks like you have done everything that I
would. You might experiment with choosing a different ppd file.
I see 4 or 5 listed for the 6130N.
Perhaps someone with more knowledge will comment.
gud luk,
Can you tell me if I have to install the printer from system
settings/printer to get it to work. I tried an email and a
small document in Libre office and no luck at all. Printer
jsut sat there doing nothing. :-( I was encouraged with the
test page however. Thanks. Bob

Did you download the correct package for Linux from:
http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-6140/downloads/enus.html?operatingSystem=linux&fileLanguage=en
After its downloaded and expanded, you can just copy the PPD file to
/etc/cups/ppd and that should give you a working ppd to configure
under cups. Thats how I had to do my 6120 ppd. If there are multiple
ppd's when you expand the above, they can all be copied to /etc. Then
you can try each one and see which works best.
When you expand the downloaded file it should make entries in
/usr/share/cups/model/ not sure which subfolder. Mine is under
downloaded.
Hope this helps you. I've been doing this for my 6120 since 2006 when
I bought the printer. I just wish Xerox had a later updated ppd.
