Fuji Xerox Basic B&W Laser Priner P205B - Any chance?

Just purchased this laser printer without checking driver support, doh!
It seems a relatively new printer and most google searches related to fuji/linux/drivers bring up older (more industrial heavy weight) models.
http://www.fujixeroxprinters.com.au/en/ … p205b.aspx
I appreciate there is obviously no magic driver, but if I wanted to troubleshoot this myself where would I start?

Firstly, I found a project 'a linux printer driver for HBPL protocol' contains some HBPL printer drivers.
foo2hbpl contains driver of p105b/p205b .
The website is http://foo2hbpl.rkkda.com/
I tested it in archlinux.
Works very smoothly with cups.
Enjoy it.
Secondly,most FUJI XEROX provide Mac OSX drivers. In this drivers ,PPDs can directly be used in CUPS.
Steps of extraing PPD file as following:
1. Download the Mac OSX drivers from Fuji Xerox's site as name fxdpm255df_z0039m109ml.img
2. $ yaourt -S dmg2img
3. Convert the dmg file into an image:
$ dmg2img fxdpm255df_z0035m108ml.dmg m255.img
4. Mount the obtained image:
# pacman -S hfsprogs
$ mkdir img
# mount -t hfsplus -o force m255.img img
5. Use xar (yum install xar) to extract the pkg file:
$ yaourt -S xar
$ cp img/FX\ DocuPrint\ M255\ df_z\ Installer.pkg .
$ mkdir m255 && cd m255
$ xar -xf ../FX\ DocuPrint\ M255\ df_z\ Installer.pkg
6. Inside the extracted folders, locate and copy the Payload file with the PPDs:
$ cp 105ppdsm255df.pkg/Payload ../Payload.cpio.gz
7. Gunzip the file and extract the cpio archive:
$ cd ..
$ gunzip Payload.cpio.gz
$ mkdir ppd && cd ppd
$ cpio -id < ../Payload.cpio
8. Voilà! your PPD files :
$ cd PPDs/Contents/Resources/
$ ls
FX DocuPrint M255 df Fax.ppd.gz FX DocuPrint M255 z Fax.ppd.gz
FX DocuPrint M255 df.ppd.gz FX DocuPrint M255 z.ppd.gz
9. import FX DocuPrint M255 df.ppd.gz or FX DocuPrint M255 z.ppd.gz to cups and then printer is OK.
Lastly,I install p205b drivers in this way. I get error like this: /usr/lib/cups/fxhr2ap is not found.
I extra the fxhr2ap like above, the error is still there.
And, I guess the error cause by this:
$ file fxhr2ap
fxhr2ap: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [ppc: Mach-O ppc executable] [i386: Mach-O i386 executable]
fxhr2ap cannot run in archlinux.

Print quality problems on Fuji Xerox printers when printing from ArchiCAD and/or Preview.

Hello,
We experience major print quality problems when printing directly from Graphisoft's ArchiCAD, Nemetscheks Vectorworks and from Apple's Preview.
Basically we see various artefacts on our printed drawings, e.g. line thicknesses change and hatched patterns / fills are reproduced with patches where the lineweights and clours change completely... which is not acceptable.
This affects the following Fuji Xerox printer models on both 10.6.x and 10.7.x with the latest FJX PPDs:
ApeosPort C5540I
Xerox LF6605 MF
The workarounds for us are to either print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Reader or via the rather dated Accxess Tools, besides that we prefer at times to print directly from a given Software it is also not always possible to generate a PDF and print it from Acrobat Reader... especially since the latest Adobe Reader update to its print dialogue makes printing from it extremely tedious - in fact we are considering going back to 9.5.2
Obviously, we have approached FJX Tech Support and are awaiting a reply - however we are disappointed that this is happening on relatively new equipment and wonder if anybody else has already found a solution.

The symptoms you mention could be related to the FJX engine and Acrobat is masking this fault. To test, you can create a Postscript file from the print dialog of ArchiCAD or VectorWorks and then download this to the Apeos RIP. If this produces the same result as when using the printer driver from the applications, then it would indicate that the engine is not capable of handling the data being sent to it from these applications.

Can't see Fuji Xerox C1110 Printer in Mountain Lion

I have an unusual problem. I have a Fuji Xerox C1110 laser printer with both USB and Ethernet ports. This printer is connected to an internet modem router and dynamically assigned an IP address and is recognised by a Windows 7 PC but not by a Macbook Pro running Lion - either when connecting to the IP port, or even via USB...

Fasebook intergration will not be available until the Fall update.

Cant print document after lion installation with my fuji xerox printer

i cant print after lion installation with my fuji xerox c1110b printer, even after i remove and reinstall the driver.
in the print window under status indicate error,
for other program even the print button is not working, need help
thanks

As a temporary fix until the new driver, you can still use Generic PCL Laser printer selection to print black and white on Fuji Xerox C1110B. When adding the new driver, select Options & Supplies. When the new window rolss down, click on the middle Driver button. Then select Generic PCL Printer, and OK.
Maybe there is another substitute driver we can use to print in color as well until Fuji Xerox gets its act together?

Shared Print Driver (Fuji Xerox)

Hi guys,
I deployed 7units of Fuji Xerox Multi Function Printer.
Current OS 2008 R2. basically i share out 7 drivers 5 unit is running same driver. Users able to map to 4 unit. 1 of the shared printer driver unable to connect when i \\servername and double click connect it just state installing drivers next it prompted
unable to connect.
Any ways to tackle the issue? Which area should i look at..

Send a list of the drivers installed on the print server. Use PrintManagement.msc and export the list of drivers from the utility and copy the list back here.

Resolved. I try restart print spooler doesn't work, i restart the whole server than it works. Just curious what went wrong.

CS4 : unable to print / stops printer / halts print job on Fuji Xerox c2255

Morning,
This discussion posting may or may not have some relevance to my previous posting, CS4 : memory leak errors (?) in Os X console log
I am working on a clients workstation and they are having a few problems. Specific hardware and software details are at the bottom of this posting.
THE PROBLEM
The problem is that I can not seem to print from CS4. The problem seems to be specifically Adobe CS4 related as I will explain below.
From the end user perspective, the CS4 suite appears to function normally with one exception - CS4 will not print. In the below example, I am referring to mainly Adobe Acrobat CS4 and InDesign CS4 as these are the programs that they use the most. The artist can still work with all the CS4 applications - opening new or existing indesign/acrobat documents, adding text, import, export, create pdfs, saving to same name or new name, etc... but they can't print out to a printer (Fuji Xerox c2255). For example, using InDesign, the artist can open an existing Indesign document and make changes to the Indesign document. She can save the document using the same name or a new name, but when she attempts to print the Indesign document, the document will not printed. If she saves the file as a pdf and using Acrobat to open the pdf and attempts to print the document, it will not print. BUT, if she uses preview to open the document and attempts to print, then it WILL print.
When attempting to print, the following happens,
- in acrobat CS4 or Indesign CS4, choose 'Print'
- choose A4 or A3 format
- click print
The job processes and is set to the printer spool as per normal. About a couple of second later, after the processing is done, the Printer Queue starts jumping up and down in the dock. Open up the printer queue, shows the following message 'Printer has stopped'. The job is present in the printer queue list. Restart the Printer, and restart the job, and then about 5 seconds later, the message appears again, 'Printer has stopped'. This continues ad nauseum until the job is manually deleted from the queue. No print outs.
PRINTER or PRINTER DRIVER
I have installed and uninstalled the printer driver half a dozen times. I have source the driver from different locations (US, Asia and Australia). In all three cases,the Fuji Xerox printer drivers look identical (I've opened them up in text edit). Every other application, on the Mac, appears to access the printer without any problems -Office 2008 ( Word, Excel), Preview, Text Edit, Text Wrangler, Mail, etc can all address the printer and print to the printer without any problems. Using any of these programmes, I can access all the functionality of the printer (A4 in Tray 1, A3 in Tray 2, Levels of the inks, etc) via the driver. When I installed the generic printer drive, I have no access to any of the Fuji Xerox Printer functionality. This leads me to think that the Fuji Xerox printer driver is not the problem.
Interestingly, using Apple's Preview, I can print any existing Acrobat documents without any problems - in either A4 or A3. However, if I attempt to print the SAME Acrobat document from Acrobat CS4, it will not print.
USE 'PRINTER DRIVER' option rather then choosing paper size.
I read in another posting, in the Adobe forum, of a similar problem with Duplex printing - if the the paper size is manually set (A3/A4) in the 'print document options', printers do not print duplex. The answer seemed to be instead of manually choosing the paper size (A4/A3), allow CS4 to determine the paper size. So, in the 'print document' dialog option, one should choose 'use printer driver' instead of specifying A3 or A4. An explanation suggested that the print engine refers to the printer driver to find out what options are availible and then CS4 chooses what size it wants to send the print job to. Forcing CS4 seems to stop duplex printing from working.
I will look at this suggestion next week when I return to the site.
NETWORK PRINTER
The fuji Xerox c2255 is a network printer. Both Mac Pro and printer have a fixed IPs. I have eliminated the network as a problem, by running a network cable directly from Mac Pro ethernet port to Fuji Xerox ethernet port. I can ping the printer directly from the Mac Pro; I can see the printer from the Mac. I can print directly to the printer from the Mac, using Text edit or any other application EXCEPT CS4. CS4 will not print.
CLIENT HAS UPDATED ALL DOCUMENT FILES TO CS4 via INX
I have since been informed that a staff member had (recently) updated all the documents to CS4 via INX. I wonder if this anything to do with the problems ? Unfortunately, I don't have any 'old' documents to test with. I wonder if the conversion process had 'modified' the pdf wrapper in some way ? I have tested this in the following manner - I opened a 'updated' CS4 document in Indesign CS4. If I try to print straight out of CS4, then the above problem occurs (i.e. the document will not print as descibed above). BUT, if I copy all the contents - from the updated CS4 document - and paste the contents directly into a NEWLY created document, then it WILL print.
UNINSTALL CS4 AND REINSTALL
Yes, this has been done three times so far with no further improvement. Each time, the steps that I have taken are as follows,
- repaired disk permissions.
- fsck in single user mode to confirm directory structure is fine
- uninstalled CS4 using the uninstaller.
- manually searched and remove any file, folder, cache that has the word 'adobe' in it from both User account, System Library and Library.
- used Onyx manual and automatic functions to clear all logs, font caches, spotlight databases, kernal caches, etc, etc
- ZapRAM Cmmd-Option-P-R (wait for start up chime 3 times)
- fsck again
- start Mac in Safe mode
- reinstalled CS4 from media (see version above)
- Following reinstallation, restarted mac as per normal.
- run Disk Utility to repair permissions
I have tried printing an existing CS4 document file with a freshly installed CS4 suite - directly from the media file (will not print). And I have attempted to print a CS4 document file after applying all updates (will not print) Neither approach improves the situation.
USE CS3
This has been considered but as the client(s) have already done the conversion of all their documents to the CS4 format using INX, then they are really committed to working with CS4. What I am attempting to do at this time is to find out WHY CS4 is doing what it is doing, and if there is a fix to this problem. If there is no fix, then I know I should use a different approach.
I am posting this message in the hope that someone may have already come across this problem or perhaps may be able to spot something that I have overlooked. This problem has really got me stumped - I have had experience with Adobes products since Photoshop 1.0 (1990s / Pre-CS1) but never had a problem as annoying or time consuming as this one - this is a dousy. I have lodged a case number with Adobe Technical Support.
Thank you for taking the time to read this longish posting. I would be most grateful for any feedback solutions, or suggestions.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you,
Fred

Connecting Fuji Xerox C2090FS to mac through network

I have a Fuji Xerox network printer type C2090FS which is connected to my network under Linksys router and I've set it to a specific IP address. The printer works well with my PC since the driver comes only for PC and none for Mac. So anybody know how to connect this printer so I can use it through my mac as well?
Many thanks

If the GutenPrint drivers don't work, you're probably out of luck

But according to this page http://www.opendrivers.com/searchopendrivers.php?search=xerox&query=downloads&pa ge=4
No Mac drivers exist.

Fuji xerox scanning still not working under 10.9.1 mavericks

There's an alternative ...
Using Image Capture as a scanner:
Connect the scanner to your Mac whether Wi-Fi or USB.
Launch Image Capture.
Click the very small black box bottom right side of the Image Capture window.
You'll see this pop up menu: Connecting this (device) opens:
You can select a default app to scan (Image Capture) and select a folder from the Imort To pop up menu on the right to save scanned files to.

Can't print to my Fuji Xerox C1110 since installing Lion

I can't print to my Fuji Xerox C1110 since installing Lion 4 days ago. I've installed the latest driver (v.2.2). I click on the Print button and nothing happens. I've tried 'Add a printer' but no luck. Is anyone else having the same problem or knows a solution?
Cheers,
David

Where did you get the driver? Was it from Apple's servers?

Printing Problems with Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C4350

Hi all,
Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I keep getting problems while printing to Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C4350. The problem seem to occur whenever I tried to print large files or files with pictures in them. My MacBook Pro seemed unable to connect to the printer and i got this error message: "Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds..."
Previously in 10.5, I set up the printer as an Appletalk printer and it worked flawlessly. In Snow Leopard, I've tried setting up the printer as LPD as well as IPP but neither of them worked.
Does anyone have any solution to this problem? I would very much appreciate if anyone can help me.
Regards,
Norman

Hi Norman and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
It's possible the drivers for your printer need to be updated to run with 10.6. Check the Fuji / Xerox site for updates.

HT4356 Has anyone been able to print via airlink on a Fuji Xerox cm205 fw from their iPad.

Need some help with printing from an iPad via airline to a Fuji Xerox cm205 fw, If this is possible would you please let me know.

If you mean AirPrint then you can't, no Fuji printers currently support it (the printers that do support it are listed on this page). You could see if Fuji have their own app in the app store that supports it, or you could try one of the third-party printer apps e.g. Print Central Pro, Print n Share etc

Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CP205w software unavailable

I have a Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CP205 wireless printer, it shows up in the print & scan box and when I select it to install it says there is software available but after trying to retrieve it, I get a message saying software is currently unavailable. I've downloaded and installed the drivers from Fuji Xerox but the same thing happens. I've tried resetting the printing system but no joy. Any help very gratefully received.

I did but I can't remember how. I tried the "Reset Printing System" a few times in the Print screen of System Preferences and I think it eventually worked. It was one of those things where I just kept trying different stuff, rebooting a lot and eventually it worked but I'm not sure exactly what fixed it. Sorry to not be of more help.
