Difficult to provide help without having the same hardware. From what I understand the Xerox printer dates back to the early 2010s and the manufacturers provided drivers for MS and MAC, but not linux. Regardless, you should check the CD for any references to Linux
When the printer was initially detected when connected to USB, did you get a message saying 'Printer added' ?
If so, you may have some functionality.
Using the Printers utility, if the printer shows as 'Connected to USB'
Right click, select 'Properties' and just try 'Print Test Page'
You might be able to see how your system sees the device from the terminal (press Ctrl, Alt and T) with this command
If this shows anything, paste back here.
You can also try opening a browser and entering this address

This link suggests there may be a driver printer-driver-brlaser which could help, printer-driver-brlaser is included in Linux Lite 7.4
