Not sure about your problem. Have you tried the Xerox driver for 
Linux(6130) at 
http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-6130/downloads/enus.html?operatingSystem=linux&fileLanguage=en

You can download and install the package easily. I have a  6120 thats 
run under linux (always openSUSE starting it 9.0 and now on 12.1) for 
almost 7 years with no problems. I have always used the Xerox supplied 
drivers. Your printer is rated at 12 ppm color and 16 ppm BW. Mine is 
5ppm color 20 ppm BW. 

if you are starting from power off the printer has a 30 second warmup 
before being ready. Also depending on type of document your printing it 
may take a while to process. Some of mine take around a minute. Also on 
the 6120 I have seen a hangup where it never finishes processing. This 
has only been lately and I think it has something to do with the latest 
versions of postscript conversion.

Sorry I cannot help you more, If you have not tried the Xerox driver you 
may want to.
