Adding the Xerox printer
1. Use the PS command to make sure that the CUPS daemon is running. The daemon can be restarted
from Linux using the init.d script that was created when the CUPS RPM was installed. The command
is > /etc/init.d/cups restart. A similar script or directory entry should have been created in System V
and BSD. For the example of CUPS built and installed on a FreeBSD 4.2 machine from the source
code, run cupsd from /usr/local/sbin. (cd /usr/local/sbin cupsd press Enter).
2. Type http://localhost:631/admin
into the address (URL) box of your web browser and press Enter.
3. For User ID, type root. For the requested password, type the root password.
4. Click Add Printer and follow the on screen prompts to add the printer to the CUPS printer list.
