21.04 - Xerox printer is properly configured and install at OS but not at re-add??

[Daniel LaSalle]

This is kind of a follow-up to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1937083 and I am not sure if it needs to be opened or not hence I am opening it as a different bug.

I am using a Xerox Versalink C405 printer;
I have totally reinstalled UM 21.04-latest as fresh OS;
My Xerox Versalink C405 printer has been working fine from LAN and from windoze machines;
I have had a "hardware problem" w/ my Xerox printer in Linux and since that problem it stopped working;
My solution was to readd the printer (See the bug I opened previously);

The bug/problem: I am unable to reinstall Xerox Versalink C405 when adding manually.

Why on Earth was the default OS able to install it w/ 0 user interaction but when I need to reinstall it manually from inside the OS it is unable to find it's driver?

So what I did was: browse for a driver and look @ /opt/XeroxOffice/prtsys/ppd/XROFFSTD.ppd and have pointed to it = Xerox printer is now installed. But it says "Xerox-CommonXCPT".

When I try to print, it doesn't do anything.

Here is what /var/log/cups/ entries say about this:

As a reminder, the official driver is located @ https://www.support.xerox.com/en-us/product/versalink-c405/downloads

My next step will be:

1. purge installed printer;
2. rm -rf /opt/Xerox*
3. Redownload the driver @ support.xerox.com + reinstall + retest;
4. Update you with the result

Thanks <3

So, after redownloading the .deb and reinstalling it seems to have worked somehow (Libre Office Writer works but still not from Firefox)
