Ok, here's a good challenge for anyone who's up for it:-

I'm running Redhat Linux on a spare box I'm setting up as my local
server and
I have an old Xerox Fastpage 4 laser printer that's been hanging around
here
for a while. (Model: AP-4, ID: XEB-1)
One of the filters I have is for the Xerox XES series but don't work, do
I need
a XEB series filter?

(Yes I know I should get a new on but why not use what I have if I can?)

Any help greatly appreciated!

I don't know about the Fastpage 4, but many of the old Xerox lasers 
supported various versions of PCL, so you might try a laserjet filter
and see how that goes.

I have a Xerox 4010, which works wonders now that has enough RAM to 
print an entire page at 300 rather than 150 dpi.  Gotta a love a component
that takes industry standard SIMMs . . .
