How to use Fuji Xerox Docuprint M205b?
Just bought this multifunction system and couldn't get it to work with CUPS. Help is greatly appreciated!
Found a driver
http://www.fujixeroxprinters.com/downlo ... 1_f5b8.zip
That file extracts to an ISO and it does have the driver for fujixerox 205 model. But, when I run the install script, it exits prematurely (I used the version for Redhat distro). Can anyone educate me on how to install that in puppy??
Once I get the printer sorted out, I can start my next adventure of fixing the scanner!
Thanks in advance.

Where did you find this download? I looked at the Fuji-Xerox site and the only Linux package I could find was for firmware.
In any case, I tried to run your installer. There doesn't appear to be much in it that applies to Puppy. I also Googled your M205b without any luck.
Sorry.
FWIW, Brother makes some laser multifunction machines that are Puppy compatible.

Thanks for the advice. I promptly returned the fujixerox and got a brother mfc-j415w. I am impressed by the ease of install and the ease of printing/scanning - fax and copying is good, as well.
(Out of interest, I tried to install this on Windows 7 - what a pain?? I tried their own windows update, after 2 hrs of "searching", "troubleshooting" and other things, the hourglass (circle nowadays) went on and on. Finally, it said it couldn't install! Then I downloaded the barebone drivers from brother, but still the printer is not working on windows. I don't have patience/need to try it again on windoze now that it works like a breeze in puppy).
