Xerox Workcentre 7855

I am trying to install a printer driver at work and there is only a deb and a rpm package for this printer.. I have used rpmextract to extract the rpm package and installed everyting where it should manually... So that seems to work. I have to use a program called xeroxprtmgr to setup the printer and it kind of work..
I can browse for printers and I find the printer I want to install.. But when I press OK to install the printer (I guess in my cups system), I get the following error in the log file for the mgr app:

ERROR/OSInterface:  Failed to open config file
ERROR/Prtmgr:  Unable to get OS Interface to check queue name

Does anyone know how to workaround this problem?

Regards,

BTJ

You must create the config file /opt/Xerox/prtsys/.xp_cfg. But then it reports this error:

10:57:40 - ERROR/OSInterface:  Failed to determine printing subsystem
10:57:40 - ERROR/Prtmgr:  Unable to get OS Interface to check queue name

Yes, just tried and got the same new error message... So a small step forward but not much more....
