FujiXerox DocuPrint 255 (205, 305)

[computermacgyver]

I have tried just about every driver I can think of for this printer with no success. All the postscript drivers print the postscript code (not the files), and the PCL drivers print random letters.

Has anyone had success with this printer (Docuprint 255) or another in the series (205 / 255 / 305)? I am running Hardy, and would happily upgrade if this will make the printer work, but I have large doubts about that and am wondering if anyone else has experience.

The URL for the Windows driver is here:

And when I had a windows client print a very basic textfile to a file with the driver it generated this output:

It's definitely not postscript code, but it also doesn't seem to be PCL. Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Scott

I know this may come a bit late but I have the same printer here working. I use Generic Printer PCL5e Driver + CUPS. It works fine on both hardy and jaunty.
