Xerox WorkCentre 3045/B in CUPS

Has anyone setup Xerox WorkCentre 3045/B in x86_64 Arch with success ?

This MFP has no support of Postscrip, PCL and ppds but it has proprietary drivers. It is win-printer with GDI as described in net.

Driver is:

http://www.support.xerox.com/support/wo … ived=false

which contains:

|-- usr
|   |-- lib
|   |   |-- cups
|   |   |   `-- filter
|   |   |       |-- xrhr3ap
|   |   |       `-- xrhr4ap
|   |   `-- xrhr3acl.so
|   `-- share
|       `-- cups
|           |-- model
|           |   `-- Xerox
|           |       |-- Xerox-WorkCentre-3045B-fr.ppd.gz
|           |       |-- Xerox-WorkCentre-3045B.ppd.gz
|           |       |-- Xerox-WorkCentre-3045NI-fr.ppd.gz
|           |       `-- Xerox-WorkCentre-3045NI.ppd.gz
|           `-- Xerox
|               `-- dlut
|                   `-- xrhr3alut.dat

libs are 32-bit.

Is it possible to setup this MFP in x86_64 Archlinux with no pain and without noise, dust and human casualties ?:-)

Re: Xerox WorkCentre 3045/B in CUPS

Printer works with proprietary drivers copied to the file system and lib32-libcups installed. But it works not very reliable. May be after some packages upgrade (pacman -Syu) printer will not print. Of course module usblp should be unloaded.

Scanner is visible by sane-find-scanner but is not supported. So scanning does not work at all.

Xerox techsupport continues to remain silent on my questions :-).
