#Canon printer drivers for ubuntu 14.04 64 Bit#

When does Xerox plan to release 64 bit compatible drivers for this printer model? This situation would have been understandable 10 years ago. Now, I have an expensive paperweight, and reason to not trust Xerox when they say a product works as advertised. Xerox advertises this printer as working in Linux, but does not support _any_ currently supported Ubuntu releases. rpm file for a different archetecture is, in most cases, trivial.

Xerox provides 64 bit drivers for all other operating systems.

This printer model is still being sold new in stores (not as overstock or end of life product), as such it is reasonable to expect it to work with current operating systems.

Very few 32 bit systems are sold these days.The current version of Ubuntu is 14.04 LTS, for reference. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is long since non-supported by the Ubuntu community.I appreciate the information you've provided. So here I am trying to move my wife over to Linux, and I have it all running supporting wireless drivers, a canon lide scanner, MS Office 2007 (under wine 1.7) as a highly secure systemВ and I can't get the 6010 working unless she boots into Windows 7В :smileysad: I for one would volunteer to beta test any release. I'm coming across many more people who are moving away from windows, so I hope that they are able to find the time to produce a 64-bit driver. Having worked at Xerox for many years, I understand the focus is with corporate 500 companies, yet the 6010 has a much broader market focus, including home-office and personal use.

Of course it won't work for the 6010 because of the different printer languages used, but it's interesting that such an old driver still works in both 32 and 64-bit environments. The strange thing is that the Fuji-Xerox driver (fuji-xerox-docuprint-c525-a-ap_1.0-2_b) that we use for our other phaser (6125) works fine after resetting the tray/paper defaults. I'm surprised that there is only a 32-bit driver when most people are now using 64-bit.

Using this driver does not allow for 64-bit support, and requires the use of Linux ia32-libs which has now been discontinued for the latest release of (K)ubuntu (13.10). This should be successful, trying to add it for me directly from /usr/share/ppd/Xerox resulted in a cups error on add, probably due to lack of permissions on usr/share/.)ДЎ0) I have tested both color and B&W, seems to work fine so far.

In my case the resulting Device URI is socket://192.168.0.127:9100 (modify for your IP settings)Д©) When asked for the driver ppd, select 'Provide the ppd file' and browse to the extracted Xerox_Phaser_6010N.ppd from a folder you have permissions.

However, based on the above posts I may have a workaround for Linux Mint 13 or similar Ubuntu based distributions:ДЎ) Make sure ia32-libs is installed (sudo apt-get install -y ia32-libs)Дў) go ahead and download the 32-bit *.deb from the Xerox support siteДЈ) Install the 32-bit deb using gdebi package installer (I just right clicked on the *.deb and installed)Д¤) Open nautilus and navigate to /usr/share/ppd/Xerox and find the Xerox_Phaser_ fileДҐ) copy this file and move it to a directory you own (~/Desktop) for exampleД¦) extract the contents of the gz, out will come Xerox_Phaser_6010N.ppdД§) Open a terminal and use system-config-printerДЁ) Add the printer, I have it connected to my router with a reserved DHCP IP address so I use deb that properly installs in latest Ubuntu versions would be nice. I believe ењ†4 bit distributions have been around for quite a while so an ењ†4. It has a giant penguin right on top of it indicating Linux support. Just bought this printer from Costco yesterday.
