How to setting up Xerox DocuPrint M205 b on Ubuntu 13.10 64bit

Question

Just bought the printer with scanner (copier) capability. Having trouble on setting up the printer/scanner.

and,

end up with 016-502 error.

The printer come with windows and mac drivers.

Downloaded, but does not know how to do with it yet.

Please help. Thank you

I've got a call from Xerox Malaysia on Jan 2014 saying that the model does not support Linux. :| Since it has Scan to / Print From USB storage capability, i have utilizing that features. How ever with a lot of limitation. Some of the USB used, return error when trying to print/scan to. Honestly, a bit annoying. — saha-ini ahmad, May 21, 2014 at 14:52

@kangear, as for ubuntu 14.04 LTS, i just download and install 1. foo2zjs. 2. Download and install Postscript-xerox 3. The configuration in GUI wizard. Go to "System Settings" , "Printers" , "Add Printer" Follow through the Add Printer Wizard. Now i am with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. the printer just auto recognized when it is being plugged-in. (The scanner is not working with pre-installed "Simple Scan" program in the ubuntu)
