I am trying to setup Xerox 7120 office printer on Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit machine but am unable to install drivers.

After downloading linux drivers, extracting and executing (sudo ./setup) I get the following error:

/usr/bin/lpq: Error - unknown destination "/tmp".

/tmp exists so I am not sure what the issue is exactly.

I also tried setting the rpinter up with PPD but it only print 3 lines of test type text and then continues printing blank pages until stopped.

Anyone have anything I can try to solve this issue?

I found a similar thread, where it's stated that the installer is searching in /usr/bin for both gzip and uncompress, but they reside in /bin, so a link has to be created:

ln -s /bin/gzip /usr/bin/gzip
ln -s /bin/uncompress /usr/bin/uncompress

That should fix the issue.

  • Seems too easy to be true, but will give it a try later this week :)

  • It should work. If it does not, please provide a link to the setup file (pastebin).
