I've no such printer around but several DocuTechs. As I suspect
they (Xerox) didn't invent the wheel several times, and they
seem to like Java applets, perhaps try
	ipp://servername/servlet/IPPServlet.IppPrinter/queuename
or something similar,
where servername is the DNS or YP name of your Xerox box and
queuename is the name of the print queue you want to access.
