Xerox said CUPS package does not cover scanner + plus:

I am using Debian Lenny on a PowerPC board !!!!! That means I cannot use
precompiled packages which are not completly open source, because normaly
they are compiled for x86 Processors. E.g. cannot use brothers linux drivers
for their mfp. THIS MEANS I HAVE TO RELAY ON OPENSOURCE, as Xerox own
drivers do not work under PPC.

thanx

You don't say what OS your using. The following page has a CUPS Linux and
Windows package for the 6180MFP. I do not know if it covers the scanner.

I have used the Phaser 6120 package for 3 years, works fine on my Linux
system. I can also print to it from my XP Guest on VirtualBox.

Hope this helps..
