It doesn't surprise me that Gutenprint doesn't have a setting specifically for the 6500 because Xerox provides one: <http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-6500/downloads/enus.html?operatingSystem=linux&fileLanguage=en>; I have a Phaser 6300 (older model), and it has worked well for every OS that I have thrown at it, including Mac, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, iOS, etc. Echoing others, get a real postscript printer, get a real network printer (not USB), and get a laser printer (although Thermal Wax would also be acceptable).
