This printer does not support IPP.  But I installed LPD on a machine and 
it spools the jobs to the xerox 220ST perfectly fine.

As a workaround, I've installed this printer in CUPS by re-routing the 
job through LPD, by using this URI:

lpd://oa-adminprint/oa-e108-x1
(ie. backend://LPD-Server/queuename)

Printing works fine now for the Xerox, but I have to mainting LPD!

I suspect that the CUPS lpd backend does not work for this printer.
