This copy machine / scanner / network printer works with Windows but no drivers are available for linux.When Ubuntu supports a printer it works fine but this one is not supported.
I found the drivers in:http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productname=bizhub%20200
Konica Minolta Bizhub C203 Driver Download– Konica Minolta’s most recent shading laser multifunction unit is the bizhub c200, a stripped-down and less expensive form of the c203. The c200 is gone for those workplaces that need essential arranged shading printing without the cost related with all the more completely highlighted multifunctions. These instructions were created using the latest Konica Minolta bizhub product line with info-palette. Revision to the above. The current version of Mac OS does not come with FTP service pre-installed. Though we have not tested this yet, it is supposed that you could download an FTP service for the new Mac OS and do the same thing.
//But I don't know how to install them, nor which one to download.//How can I install this driver?
EDIT:The file with the driver is herehttp://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/DownloadFile/Download.ashx?fileid=18571&productid=865Inside the archive there is a .deb package that installs correctly but doesn't work.
So far the question is: 'How can I make it work?'

I asked Konica Minolta Tech support (in spanish) about this and they answered me with this:
The ppd file I must specify is KO423SX.ppd
To install, add a printer the specify an uri such as lpd://192.168.1.40/print (replacing 192.168.1.40 with your printer's ip address).Then specify the KO423SX.ppd file as the ppd file.
Adjust settings and print. In my case it claims there's no paper in the printer but still prints correctly.
As I've just described here: How to get work Konica Minolta bizhub 423 printer working? it is possible to use another driver.
There was no driver for our Konica Minolta Bizhub c224e, but I selected the driver 'KONICA MINOLTA 500/420/360PS(P)' that was available on the list and works like a charm printing in full colour.
Just remember to change Device URI from the default one to something like lpd://10.1.0.13/print - you can check the IP address in the menu on the printer display.
Another trick is to know what printer options are installed and enable them in the driver's menus. In my case these were additional paper bins and duplex.
