I installed *several* drivers for Xerox Docuprint P8e, all of them work!
 If you have printer with PCL6 support - you can also add driver for LJ5gray, 
than (I think) you will get anti-aliasing on printouts... (see my 
experimental setup for 4512_LJ5Gray)
But this will require extra memory on your printer, and a lot of procesing 
power, as a *whole page* will be printed as bitmap!

About
  DeviceURI socket://192.168.100.1:9100
this printer is connected to network/print-server D-Link DP-802, port 9100 
stands for Parallel Port 1 on this print server.
192.168.100.1 is IP address of that print server

Hope this helps a little bit.
