You can use the PPD files that come with the printer; the Win2k
PPD files are probably the best place to start, just run them through
the cupstestppd program to check for any obvious errors, copy them
to /usr/share/cups/model (maybe create a subdirectory under there
for Xerox if you like), and restart the CUPS service so it sees the
new files.
