printing - how to setup wps on xerox phaser 3020? - Ask Ubuntu
so have new xerox phaser 3020. told supports linux.
indeed - connecting laptop usb works charm. able print.
however, printer wireless. can't seem able setup wireless configuration.
i got disc, disc has software mac/windows. how do same ubuntu?
unfortunately couldn't find related, faced same problem , found awkward solution (but works). can configure using virtuabox usb 2.0 driver + windows 7 image. here how:
- install virtualbox synaptic.
- download virtualbox extension pack here, you'll need install older version ubuntu. find here , here installation instructions.
- now it's funny part, have few old virtualbox windowses development, legal , freely available microsoft here.
- i used windows 7 version , works, enable usb 2.0 , add device connected host machine, need add user vboxusers group. don't forget reboot afterwards.
- having set may configure usb 2.0 virtualbox device , add printer. made small screenshot how it:
- install xerox drivers , configure wifi network printer.
- assign static ip printer on router, remove whole s**t above , enjoy wifi printer linux network.
this howto works cheap wifi printer devoid of ui , networking intended setup windows :)
