Yes, it is possible, the main problem often being to reverse engineer
the printer protocol, which shouldn't be too difficult for you ;-)
More seriously, printer drivers are usually implemented as
ghostscript module (built-in).
See http://www.linuxprinting.org to learn what's the current support
for Xerox printers under Linux.
