Setup on Linux

First you have to download the driver file x2UNIV-C8030.ppd from the attachment. For the installation you need root rights e.g. with the help of the command sudo.
The following commands (for simple cut & paste) set up the printer with the name followme local:

The Xerox Universal Printer Driver used is no different from the driver used with the previous Xerox !WorkCentre 7835s. For the !AltaLink C8030 printer everything can be take over.

Note: You must execute the following commands in the folder where the driver file is located.

1 curl -O https://xwiki.rbg.tum.de/foswiki/pub/Informatik/Benutzerwiki/XeroxDrucker/x2UNIV-C8030.ppd##
   1 
sudo lpadmin -E -p followme -v ipps://print.in.tum.de/printers/followme -P x2UNIV-C8030.ppd -D \"Xerox-Followme\" -L \"TUM-FMI\"
   1 sudo cupsenable followme
   1 sudo cupsaccept followme
   1 Register at https://ucentral.in.tum.de/cgi-bin/printman.cgi and activate your computer for printing.

To set up a separate queue called  printer  for documents that can only be called up on the printers in the printer, use these commands. A ppd file preconfigured for the Professional Finisher x2UNIV-C8045-pf.ppd is used.

1 curl -O https://xwiki.rbg.tum.de/foswiki/pub/Informatik/Benutzerwiki/XeroxDrucker/x2UNIV-C8045-pf.ppd##
   1 
sudo lpadmin -E -p druckerei -v ipps://print.in.tum.de/printers/druckerei -P x2UNIV-C8045-pf.ppd -D \"Xerox-Druckerei\" -L \"TUM-FMI-Druckerei\"
   1 sudo cupsenable druckerei
   1 sudo cupsaccept druckerei
   1 Register at https://ucentral.in.tum.de/cgi-bin/printman.cgi and activate your computer for printing.
