I have just configured a Fuji Xerox Docuprint c525a colour laser printer on a Dell Inspiron 1300 1.7GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB HDD with MEPIS 6.0.

Redhat RPM linux drivers for the Fuji Xerox Docuprint c525a colour laser printer
are available for download at:
http://www.fxap.com.sg/suppdrv3.jsp?familyId=2&productId=307
or
http://www.fujixerox.com.au/localDriver.do?product_code=307

Extract the zip archive to a folder. Inside a folder of the sae name will be the file 'Fuji-Xerox-Docuprint-C525-A-AP_1.0-2_i386.rpm'.
As root, run 'Alien' in a console in that folder to make a .deb from the .rpm. Enter 'alien Fuji-Xerox-Docuprint-C525-A-AP_1.0-2_i386.rpm'
Open 'File Manager Super User Mode' (Konqueror), navigate to the folder and right-click on the newly-created .deb file 'fuji-xerox-docuprint-c525-a-ap_1.0-2_i386.deb'
Select open with KPackage, then select install, install, done

open "http://localhost:631/" in the Konqueror address bar
This will open the CUPS Common UNIX Printing System interface
select 'Administration'
Under "New Printers Found" it will display 'Fuji Xerox C525A AP'
Select "Add printer"
Under "Make/Manufacturer" select 'FX'
select "continue"
A "Model" box with "FX Docuprint C%@% A-AP v1.0 (en)" should appear.
close Konqueror
select Kmenu, print system, add printer, add printer wizard, select USB/serial
It will display usb:FUJI XEROX DocuPrint C525A-AP
select Next
'building driver database........'
Printer model selection
select FX
Model select DocuPrint C525A-AP
select 'settings', check paper size (A4 etc) ok
select 'test'
A MEPIS Printer test page comes out of the DocuPrint C525A-AP
select ok
next
