Installing Xerox DocumentCenter 230
 

Dear friends,

I am new to Linux and have installed Mandrake 9.1 on my office Dell desktop.

We have a Xerox Document Center 230 - Networked printer.

I went to their website and downloaded both Linuxi386XpxxInstall and PrinterpackageXpxx files into file:/home/anand/documents directory.

I unzipped them (sorry windows hangover!) in the same directory.

I then went to superuser mode and ran ./setup command and the results are enclosed below....

root@dubbc8sn0j-1 Linuxi386XpxxInstall]# ./setup
.............ERROR: unable to locate system command 'uncompress'
[root@dubbc8sn0j-1 Linuxi386XpxxInstall]#

What am I doing wrong?.

Kindly help.

I look forward to your assistance.

Best regards,

Anand K.

Here's the fix for Xerox

It basically comes down to the fact that compress/uncompress is a Unix utility replaced with gzip and bzip in linux tar can uncompress these files with either the -Z option or --compress --uncompress. Install the rpm with 'rpm -ivh rpm_file_here ' after running setup run xpadmin from the command line to bring up the CentreWare configuration utility.

Have a nice Day
