Go to the Xerox website, search for your product(s) and go to the 
download area. For a couple of printers, they offer "Linux drivers"
(which means the PPDs). For the others, use the Winxx drivers.
They usually are provided as a self-extracting archive (i.e. an
exe file), so you'd need to have a winxx PC or a VMware session
or the like at hand to extract the PPD from it.
