There's a list in package description (debian/control).
But it supports more than that list, e.g. ApeosPort-IV C2275 (what I
usually use)
Actually Fuji Xerox only released this open source driver, so I guess
it should support most of their product line.

Fixed in github repo:
- https://github.com/rogers0/fxlinuxprint/tree/try_debian
And the source package name can be kept as it is?

Fixed in patch 0003, in github repo.

Fixed in patch 0004, in github repo.
Yes, "number of copies" to print wasn't working.
So I guess the patch would fix it.
I'll confirm whether this works when I have access to the printer.
Thanks again!
