[SOLVED] FIJI XEROX DocuPrint C525-a Installation Guide (16.04) using alien

These are the steps I followed for successful network printing to the FX DocuPrint C525-a-ap from Ubuntu MATE 64 bit. Should work on all, even older, versions of Ubuntu, and possibly other FX drivers.

1. Locate the correct driver from the Fuji Xerox site http://fujixerox.com (I used the Australian site).

Or open terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T)

2. Extract zip file where ever you want it

To extract to current directory

3. Open extracted folder
Should contain file "Fuji_Xerox-DocuPrint_C525_A_AP-1.0-1.i386.rpm" which is the 32bit version of the driver for Red Hat or derivatives. To check
4. Install alien package using apt-get (skip to 5 if already installed). Alien will be used to convert the rpm package to a deb (Ubuntu/Debian) package and allow installation across architectures. 5. Convert rpm to deb. Make sure you working directory contains the rpm package. 6. Install the newly created file "fuji-xerox-docuprint-c525-a-ap_1.0-2_all.deb" using your preferred method. 7. I finished configuring the printer using the printer utility.
