sudo apt-get install printer-driver-splix

"Xerox Workcentres--at least the ones in my office (5645)--usually have a feature to show print jobs and their status on the machine, and it might provide you with some meaningful troubleshooting.

I ended up re-writing parts of the driver (.ppd file) to manage the accounting. I recount the procedure and post the driver I used (--similar methods might work for you model--) in this thread on the Ubuntu forums. Good luck!"
