What the research found

A GP got a 2011 Dell C1760nw (rebadged Xerox Phaser 6000/6010, HBPL v1) working on Arch via the AUR driver, using a Wayback Machine copy of the broken download and Ghostscript to fix blank PDFs; the 32-bit driver may need an open 64-bit replacement later.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

  1. The Dell C1760nw is a rebadged Xerox Phaser 6000/6010 and speaks HBPL v1 99%
  2. the AUR package xerox-phaser-6000-6010 build is broken because the Xerox download link redirects to itself 98%
  3. a Wayback Machine July 2025 snapshot of the driver zip matches the PKGBUILD sha256 98%
  4. a ReportLab PDF printed blank because CUPS pdftopdf could not read its compound stream filter, fixed by rewriting with Ghostscript 99%
