Driver for printer Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C3360?

I can't find any suitable driver for the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C3360.

Fuji Xerox's website does not have any Debian package nor sources, but it has an RPM package. Can I somehow use it on Ubuntu?

Here is the content of the RPM:

├── etc
│   └── cups
│   ├── mimefx.convs
│   └── mimefx.types
└── usr ├── lib │   └── cups │   └── filter │   ├── pdftopdffx │   ├── pdftopjlfx │   └── pstopdffx └── share └── cups └── model └── FujiXerox └── en └── fxlinuxprint.ppd

Those directories exist in Ubuntu Natty, so I copied all files to the relevant directories, and rebooted.

Then in Unity's Add Printer dialog, I added the printer's IP adress, it couldn't find a driver so I selected the PPD manually.

Now whenever I try to print, the printer starts making noise, but then the job fails saying "Media tray needs to be filled". I tried with all trays. The trays have abundant paper. Any idea?

It finally worked! Here is the full procedure:

1. Download the official RPM, it is the big button at the bottom of this page.
2. Open it with Archive Manager.
3. As root, copy all files found in the RPM to their respective directories.
4. Reboot.
5. In Unity's Add Printer dialog, select "Network printer" then "LDP", and type the printer's IP address.
6. It looks for a driver but can't find it, so you are presented with a large list of manufacturers.
7. Above this list, click the PPD addition button.
8. Select the fxlinuxprint.ppd you have copied into /usr
9. In Text Editor, open the Print dialog, in Page setup set Paper source to Tray1, set Paper size to A4.
10. Press Print, it should print the document after a few minutes, even though "Media tray needs to be filled" errors appear.

UPDATE: If you get a message saying There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error', then try with the web interface which runs at by default. It worked in my case on Ubuntu 2012.04.

if you got the .rpm file, you can convert it it to .deb by using alien. quick search resulted this thread that may help

sudo apt install printer-driver-fujixerox

In Unity's Add Printer dialog, select "Network printer" then "LPD", and type the printer's IP address. Then select the driver 'FX'.

I did not try printing the test page; but a double-sided PDF just worked!
