Can't even install the drivers for Xerox 6100

Question

I have done a lot of homework on this one. I have an old powerbook (running 10.4.11) and the Xerox 6100 installer and drivers work great on it. I just got an iMac (10.6.3) and put Rosetta on in, but when I run the Xerox 6100 installer it doesn't put any files anywhere that I can find. I have also tried installing the Samsung 510 because I heard it has worked for some people where the Xerox driver failed, but no luck their either. I have tried to configure it for both USB and IP printing, but I still think the hitch is that the VISE installer isn't doing its job. Any thoughts or suggestions? Does anyone know where I should look to find out where exactly this whole process when awry?
Thanks,
Brett

It is not officially supported, but there are many posts and even support from Xerox that says all you need to do is the following (see below)
1) Change the “Xerox” Folder Permissions:
• Navigate to Applications > Utilities and open a Terminal window.
• Type the following command: sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Xerox
• You will be prompted to enter your password.
2) Install Rosetta from the Snow Leopard DVD:
• Insert the Snow Leopard Install DVD
• Select Optional Package
• Select “Rosetta only” from the list of optional packages
• Click install and follow instructions to complete installation; there is no need to reboot
3) Reset Printing System:
• Navigate to: System Preferences> Print & Fax> Xerox Phaser [6100, 6110, 6110MFP]
• Right click on the printer
• Select Reset Printing System
4) Install Printer (without removing the driver):
• Navigate to: System Preferences> Print & Fax> Xerox Phaser [6100, 6110, 6110MFP]
• Select +: add the available Xerox printer
That likely works if you already have the drivers installed on 10.6, but this is not MY issue. I run the installer and it does nothing. There is no /Library/Printers/Xerox and for all I can tell the installer doesn't put any files anywhere on my iMac.
I am pretty sure I could get it to work if only the installer worked but it does not seem to be doing anything. I even looked for files using the command line in case they were hidden and the installer hadn't added any new files with Xerox in them.
To answer you other question, I was told 6110 and 6200 drivers will not work. You have to use the 6100 driver, but again mine won't install. Thanks for writing in to help.
