Deafult Printer won't "stick" XEROX Phaser 7760GX

When I set the XEROX Phaser 7760GX IP networked printer as default in system settings, it has reverted to "last used" next time I i look. I have downloaded and installed new printdriver since upgrading to Leopard and it prints fine but won't stick.
It might be the same problem but in the Adobe CS3 InDesign Print Presets [Deafult] I'm unable to select the Default Printer (Greyed out)

I have another idea on how to use the old driver. NO guarantees.
For all who may be reading this -- this is for Yosemite -- it reduces security by relaxing sandboxing. It is a workaround, not a permanent fix.
Use the Terminal utility to run the two commands below -
sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'
sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
(sudo means superuser do - this is your admin user on OS X. It asks for your password - but it hides it from you when you type - for security)

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

Pages won't print in color on Xerox Phaser 6110

For some reason, I have to print as pdf, then use preview to print the pdf version if I want the document in color. If I try just going from pages to the phaser, I get a black and white document instead. I've been trying to find a setting in pages that might limit the color, but haven't found it. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

In principle, if the imports colour photographs and creates colour page geometries in Apple Pages, then these objects will be colour managed to the digital graphic display, the digital graphic printer, and the digital graphic press. The colours will match provided the digital graphic devices have correct ICC colour space profiles and provided the conversions are configured correctly.
A digital graphic device that is capable of colour can be addressed in 1 bit (off/on without tone), grayscale (tone) and colour. How a digital graphic device is addressed cannot be defined by Apple Pages, it is defined at the device driver or at the device interface whether as a colour managed or colour blind command.
Apparently, the Xerox device driver is addressed differently depending on whether Apple Preview is rendering PDF or Apple Pages is rendering. If you can't find any setting in the Xerox device driver to change from grayscale to colour, the simplest solution is simply to save out PDF from Pages and print from Preview probably until OS X 10.6 is out.
To check the settings for the Xerox device driver, one place you might have a look is Print > Printer: (Xerox Phaser), Presets: (check that there is no preset for grayscale), scroll from Copies & Pages down to check ColorSync and also check if any application features and printer features that are able to affect a conversion to grayscale.
Hope this helps.

Can't print over USB to Xerox Phaser 3450 using 10.4.9

I am using Mac OS Tiger 10.4.9 and have a Xerox Phaser 3450 printer connected to my Quicksilver G4 via USB.
When I try and print the job spools and the printer whirrs to life, the panel on the printer changes from Ready to saying Printing PS3, then the job ends. Nothing actually gets printed, the little print centre dialog that pops up in the Dock shows the job go from the queue to the completed jobs tab.
Any ideas?

. . .Entering the thread in midstream--
What printer driver are you trying to use? I scoured the Xerox site for information on this printer. The manual indicates that it can use either PostScript or PCL6 as a printer language.
For PostScript, Xerox has PPDs for CUPS under the Unix drivers. These are in the form of a tarball. You can install the by using using a Control-click on the file and selecting to open with the BOMArchiveHelper or by using the Terminal. If using the Terminal, you can install the files directly by using the command --
<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #000; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tar -C /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj <pathToYourDownloadedFile></pre>
You could also try the Generic PCL6 driver that comes with the Gutenprint/Gimp-Print drivers which are probably already on your computer.
These drivers may not give you all the capabilities that you would have if Xerox updated their USB plug-in, but they should allow you to print. I see nothing in the literature that suggests that you cannot use the PostScript via USB. That is the default/stock interface for the printer.

Photoshop CS5: error when printing to Xerox Phaser 7750

Mac 10.6.5
I get the following error when I print directly to my Xerox Phaser 7750 from Photoshop CS5:
"Error: /Library/Printers/Xerox/Filters/pstophaserps failed"
All the other CS5 apps (plus Photoshop CS4) have no trouble printing.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Something doesn't add up since PS CS4 works ok. What's different about CS5? 64bit?
My guess would be that Photoshop is the only app you use that prints PostScript through the Cocoa drivers, and thus the only one hitting that particular part of the driver software.

Mac OS 10.6 Print Server slow performance to Xerox Phaser 3600

Hi,
I have a client who has numberous printers captured on a Mac OS X 10.6 Server with print services running which works fine with every printer except for a Xerox Phaser 3600 (small A4 mono postscript printer) in that print jobs sent to it via the print server take upto 5 minutes to printer. If the client computers print direct then it is fine and very speedy.
Below is some more detail and any help or suggestions with this would be greatly appreciates.
• Printer server is a MacMini running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8 v1.1
• Xerox 3600 printer is a small A4 mono postscript printer.
• Printing direct to printer is instant, via the print server can take up to 5 minutes.
• The print server has various other printers setup and they are not experiencing the same performance problem.
• The print server is using the LPD protocol but they have tried the IPP protocol and again it is slow.
• When they send a job to print it remains in the users local print monitor and the servers print monitor for up to 5 minutes.
• The Xerox printer is running the latest firmware update.
• The print server is using a Xerox downloaded driver as opposed to one of Apple OS shipped drivers.
• Checked Xerox compatibility list and this printer is fully supported in 32bit and 64bit applications.
• Restarted printer.
• Test jobs have been small TextEdit plain text tests.
Thanks in advance

Printing issues on network printer (Xerox Phaser 4500DT)

I need to be able to print to a network printer which is a Xerox Phaser 4500DT. It is simply networked from its IP address. I have the latest driver. Every time I try to print anything the job automatically goes on pause. If I click resume, it does print, but this takes time, every time I print. The URL is "pap://*/Phaser%204500DT/LaserWriter".
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Since upgrading to 10.5.6 I can no longer print multiple jobs to any of my Phaser 4500 machines(N/DT)? If the printer is clear, the job will spool and print.
If more than one job is sent or multiple users print at the same time, the local print queue is changed to 'PAUSE PRINTER' - I have tried printing via Appletalk, Bonjour & IP printing, the same problem occurs.
Why does 10.5.6 not allow you to spool and queue a print job any more? This is VERY frustrating in a busy office with multiple users attempting to print at the same time! - Any advice would be gratefully received!

Xerox Phaser 6110 Not working after lion

I've updated to Lion but i now cannot print on my networked Xerox Phaser 6100 printer. I know that previously i had to have rosetta installed as per the instuctions on Xerox website and everything worked fine. It's just since the update that it has stopped working. The print jonb goes into the queue as normal and just sits there without being printed. If i click on resume i get a message saying "/Library/Printers/Xerox/Phaser6110/rastertoxrx failed".
Any ideas please?

I have the xerox phaser 8560:
I also installed Lion at work here;
everything was working fine with the 1.2 driver under snow leopard.
After the lion install, pressing the print button didnt do anything (paused).
I then downloaded and installed the new xerox lion driver (2.09) which at the end of the installation process asks me to locate my printer which i did using its IP address.
Now, trying to print, it doesnt pause anymore, the print job does proceed to the queue, but i get the error 'printer out of ink', which is definately not the case as it printed fine under snow leopard.
Anyone know a solution/workaround for this?
Thanks in advance!!!

Xerox Phaser 6250 Separation Page Option

The MacOSX Printer Driver for the Xerox Phaser 6250 has so many functions that simply do not work!
I am forced to export my booklet projects to Acrobat and then print them from a Windows computer because the MacOSX Printer Driver features don't work properly.
The most unacceptable failure is in the PRINTER FEATURES / ADVANCED / SEPARATION PAGE! The option to place a separation page at the end of each collated set simply doesn't work from MacOSX. It will insert a separation page between each PAGE rather than at the end of each SET that is printed.
Another peculiar feature is that when printing from InDesign or Acrobat Professional on MacOSX, the pages are sent one by one to the printer cue and it re-sends the entire data over and over for each set. If I print 10 copies of a 10 page book, it sends 100 pages of data to the printer cue. On Windows, the same printer driver sends 10 pages to the printer cue and it realizes it will print that 10 times.
I don't want to hear that the fault is Xerox or whatever, I spent a huge amount of money for my business to buy this printer and must continue to make use of it for another two or three years to justify this investment and I expect Apple to provide useable printer drivers and features.
Is there a way to report a technical flaw like this to Apple and know that someone there will actually do something about this problem?
G4 1Ghz Dual MDD Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I ran into this same issue today. What finally worked was to use the Xerox driver to control 2 sided printing only and to use Reader to specify the number of pages on a page. Make sure you set the page orientation in File=>Print Settings. That way you can turn off the auto rotate and center.

Xerox phaser 3100 and Snow Leopard

Good evening!
Since 2 days I am trying desperately to install the printer of my dad (xerox phaser 3100) on my macbook 10.6. In fact we did the upgrade on snow leopard without knowing that the printer would not work anymore.
Before writing here I made some research on internet and I found this web site:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/forums/forum/4358/topic/3407337
The Phaser 3100 is a GDI printer. The Gutenprint drivers do not support such printers.You should be able to print with the Xerox drivers provided for OS X 10.4. To make the drivers work in OS X 10.6, install the drivers from Xerox. Then in a Terminal window (/Applications/Terminal) run the following commands--sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Xerox/sudo chmod 775 /Library/Printers/Xerox/filter/rastertoprinter You will have to force any 64 bit applications to run in 32 bit mode to get the full functionality for the drivers.
Of course I went on the website of xerox to download drivers for 10.4... but when I tried to install it I got a error message saying that the package was compiled for 10.4 version...
If you would have a solution it would be great!
Thanks in advance and have a great easter!

Ok,
I tried to reboot computer, connect the usb cable. Try an other usb cable but it's not working...
In my system profiler my printer is not appearing. I have this:
I tried to connect a usb key in my computer and its working... so usb port is ok :-)
Still not successful :-(... is it a problem if I have other printer install on this computer?
Thank you!

Xerox Phaser 4500 : "remote host did not accept file (32)"

Am trying to print to our networked Xerox Phaser 4500DT at work. Set it up as an LPR printer as I did with Tiger (setting it up as IPP gives a permission denied error when you try to print), and printed a test page. Worked fine.
Try to print any sort of useful document, however, and I get a "remote host did not accept file (32)" error, when it's spooled about 20% of the document. Anybody run into this, or have any ideas?
I've tried Leopard's built-in 4500 driver, and the Leopard driver from the Xerox website (which seems to be the same version anyway). I've also tried the trick of putting "lp" in the queue name field, which seems to have been the cause of this error for some people. No joy for me, though.

That seems to be an LPD error message, so you could try setting the printer up as either IPP or JetDirect, if the interface supports either one.

Irregular Printing - Xerox Phaser 8560

I've had this Xerox Phaser 8560 for years and have been using it with Snow Leopard without issue.
Upon recent update to 10.6.3 (from 10.6.2) I am now having issues where one print will be fine, but then another separate print will just come out as data/numbers/multiple useless pages.
It's oddly inconsistent and it does not matter which program I am printing from.
I have removed/added the printer; completed restarts; checked printer firmware; reset printing system; etc... the usuals.
Anyone else having any 8560 issues?

OK. Here is something that works. So far. The last 30 minutes or so. Based on several long chats with Apple reps and all sorts of tries.
The short version is: Re-install Snow Leopard 10.6, and then go back to 10.6.2.
We’ve done it to two iMacs and it seems to be working. Note: 8560 connected via USB to one machine and “shared” with a second iMac.
How to:
First, turn off automatic updates. Apple>system preferences>software update.
That’s to keep you from automatically upgrading to 10.6.3 in the future until Xerox/Apple fix this problem.
Install Snow Leopard from CD. Check to see if it worked. On one of our machines we had to boot off the CD to get 10.6 to re-install. On the other machine we did not have to boot off the CD.
Lots of whirring and buzzing here…
Upgrade to 10.6.2.
Download is here : http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosxv1062updatecomb o.html
Delete, then add back the 8560 printer: Apple>system preferences>print and fax> click printer, hit minus, delete, then add back. Not sure this in needed, but won't hurt.
You might need to flush the printer’s RAM as well. Can do that from the panel on the front of the printer. Not sure this make any difference, but can't hurt. We’ve also had a problem with printer taking itself offline, but don’t know if this is a related problem or not.
Thanks to Andrew at Apple support for reminding me how to boot off the CD.
Hope this works. Please remember I am not a Mac expert. Just a guy who’s trying to figure out this problem. You may want to talk to Apple yourself first before trying this.

Xerox Phaser 8860 on Network-How to turn off popup print job confirmations?

I recently upgraded to OS 10.6.4 and as expected I needed to reinstall the drivers for a few peripherals. One of which was the Xerox Phaser 8860 which is on the network. Everything works, but now after each print job prints out a window pops up in the center of the screen notifying me that ::Job### has printed on Xerox Phaser 8860::. It causes no serious problems, but it does knock me out of what ever program I am using. Which can get extremely annoying when I'm drawing and I repeatedly get halted mid (pen/brush) stroke. It stays up on the screen for about a minute and a few times it has remained up. There is an option to close, it simply gets really annoying after the 30th time. Common sense would suggest to not draw while a file is on it's way to the printer, but my work day is a constant flow of drawing, printing, color tests and editing. It's not practical or good for deadlines to stop drawing to wait for a print job to come out and the pop up window to go away.
I tested printing from the other computers, which are PC's using various versions of windows and they all come up with the same pop up window (though theirs come up at the bottom right of the screen). They do not receive confirmation windows from the other printers not on the network.
This suggested to me that this was a setting with the Xerox software. However, I spoke to the technical support for Xerox and they said that the pop up window had nothing to do with their software and claim that it had to be generated by the Mac OS 10.6.4.
I am regularly printing from the following programs:
Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat, Word, and Excel. The pop out window has acquired while printing files from all of these programs. I doubt that has any relation but I thought I'd add it, just in case.
I would very much like to know how to turn this confirmation notification off in OS 10.6.4. Or if anyone has an thoughts on what software could be the culprit.

In CWIS go to Properties > General > Printer Defaults and disable the Startup page As for garbage prints, That sounds like a PS error. And they are almost always due to improperly embedded fonts. Have all your users switch the following in their drivers (Picture is the global driver, but the regular driver will have the same option.) Essentially by default the printer uses its own locally stored fonts on the jobs, but when the fonts are misunderstood, or unknown it winds up printing wingdings.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OS 10.6.8 PRINTING WITH XEROX PHASER. MacPro crashes when printer warms up. Does anyone have a solution? 6360 DN

I've been using Macs since 1984. Have been using Xerox Phaser printers for ten years. But with the last update to OS 10.6.8 last summer, I've had problems with crashing when printing. My MacPro crashes when printing via ethernet prot with Xerox Phaser 6360DN or when the printer warms up. Worked fine with OS 10.6.7. Internet postings suggest this is a common problem for all Mac users with Xerox Phaser printers. Apple put out an update to 10.6.8 to address the problem. I downloaded it but it did not solve the problem. Have tried all the Xerox drivers along with Apple drivers. Can't solve the problem. Xerox says it's an Apple problem. Does anyone KNOW how to solve the problem?

sorry, just saw that i was accidently in the snow leopard section....i reposted under the correct section. here's the link.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12340796#12340796
sorry for the inconvenience, i was looking at other posts using search and didn't realize that i was reading the 10.6 board.
thanks again!!

Xerox Phaser 7300dn will not print tabloid

I have a user with an 20" iMac running 10.6.4 and Adobe CS4. In that office they have a Xerox Phaser 7300dn color laser printer. The user cannot print to tabloid paper. Everything prints on 8.5x11 paper regardless of settings. Happens in Illustrator, Photoshop, whatever. There are two older white iMacs on that same printer that are running 10.5.x, and they have no problems printing to tabloid on that same printer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest drivers from Xerox. I've updated the firmware on the printer. All the options show up in the print dialog boxes. This has to be an issue with 10.6 since the other Macs running 10.5 and a PC running Windows XP don't have this problem. Anybody else experience this issue? Any fixes? I'm getting desperate.
Thanks.

I used to be able to collate just fine on my Laserjet 5000, but no longer. I, too, found that it made no difference whether I checked the box or not. Is this still another bug in 9.4.5? And yes, it is highly irritating.
