Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM205B

This printer is kind of annoying to get working so I thought I’d quickly document how to do it. Here are the steps I took. For reference, I have my printer connected to my router (a Fritzbox) via USB so it’s available to everyone on the network.

  • Download the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM205FW drivers (yes the model is slightly different, but they’ll work). Right click the .inf file and install.
  • Start – Printers and Scanners – Add Device – Add Manually
  • Check Add a printer using IP address or hostname and hit next.
  • Device Type: TCP/IP Device
    Hostname or IP Address: 10.0.0.138 (or whatever your routers IP is)
    Port name: 10.0.0.138 (Same IP as above. No idea why you need an IP instead of a port here)
    Uncheck ‘Query the printer and automatically select the driver to use’.
  • Wait for windows to fail to detect the printer then change the Device Type drop down to Fuji Xerox DocuPrint. Hit next.
  • On the Install the printer driver screen select Fuji Xerox – FX DocuPrint CM205 fw. Hit next twice.
  • Check ‘Do not share this printer’, Next and Finish.
  • Back in the Printers and Scanners window click the new printer, select Printer Properties. Select the checked 10.0.0.138 row and click Configure Port.
  • Change protocol to Raw and uncheck SNMP Status Enabled. Hit OK.

Thanks to this post on whirlpool forums for the drivers.
