It doesn't surprise me that Gutenprint doesn't have a setting
specifically for the 6500 because Xerox provides one:

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).
