IMac+Xerox Phaser 3121

I failed to connect my printer Xerox Phaser 3121 and couldn't find any MacOS driver at the Xerox support site. Is there any possibility to make it print?

Looks like Xerox needs to get off the pot and support there Hardware for Mac user's.
Here is the recently updated (2/23/10) list of multi function Printer/Scanners that support scanning in Snow Leopard. > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669

Xerox Phaser / IMac -Printer -Problem

Printing on my Xerox Phaser 8550 only works for ONE document. The second document always comes out as nonsense. Drivers are up to date, only solution is restarting the mac... Any ideas ?? Whenever I do this under Parallels there is no problem......

The latest Mountain Lion driver support begins with the Phaser 6130N. Tough break on the Phaser 6100.
Xerox has a page with links by operating system to PDF files containing all US Xerox printers compatible with the specific OS. There is a Mountain Lion link there.
If instead, you are wondering what supported non-Xerox printer to buy, look at the manufacturer specific driver updates on apple/support/downloads. Click the name of the driver update, rather than download it. You will see a link to a kb article that lists all currently supported printer models. For that manufacturer and other vendors.

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.

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 6121MFP: Can not set up scanner..Please help

Hi
I am trying to set up scan function from Xerox Phaser 6121MFP to iMac runing Lion 10.7.2. I have managed to set up the printing but just cant set up the scan funtions. I have downloaded and installed drivers for 10.7 from xerox website.
I have downloaded vuescan and that says no scanner connected when I open it and Image capture says no device connected.
I am new to iMac so please be gentle with the instructions!
Thanks in advance.

Cannot find driver to Xerox Phaser 3210

Hello,
I have "strange" Xerox Phaser 3210 since 2002. This is usual PCL6 compatible
Xerox laser printer which is recognized by iMac. Unfortunately, no driver for this printer is selected If I try to install some driver for Postscripts printer - Postscript source text is printed (as I can suggest - this printer does not support Postscript at all). If I try to install some Gutenprint driver - printer doesn't respond at all.
What is worse - there are no mention about Phaser 3210 on the Xerox' site. I suspect this is modification for the Russian market only. But there no drivers for Mac on www.xerox.ru as well.
The question is: what should I do to find appropriate driver for my printer?

Xerox bought (at least) the phaser series from Tektronix a few years ago.
If I recall correctly, the xerox support site is split - you have to choose between xerox or tektronix.
On the US site, I can't find any mac drivers for that printer.
Just Windows drivers

Xerox Phaser 6110 and Snow Leopard

Hi there,
Please can somebody help?
I bought a new imac the other day and connected my three year old Xerox Phaser 6110 printer, and to my shock, it won't print.
Thanks to this forum, I found out that I'm not the only one with the same problem.
Now, I've read some of the topics on what to do, and I've tried two of them, but I still can't print. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I went onto Xerox's website and followed their instructions - installed Rosetta, and got to a point where I couldn't continue. It said; "right click, and ...". I can't remember what it said I had to do, but, my mouse does not give me the option to 'right click', so I had to abort that method.
I then tried a method I found on here - inserted the Xerox driver disc again, loaded the driver, clicked on 'System Preferences' and 'Printers', and tried to add the printer again, but it wouldn't let me. Maybe I was doing it wrong?
HELP!
I really don't want to go buy a new printer

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 3200MFP

I have a Xerox Phaser 3200MFP attached to a Windows XP Machine. It is shared as a network printer, and my Windows PCs can print to it without any issues. However, my iMac continues to have issues. I have one of the following issues, depending on which driver I use:
1. Using the Xerox 3200MFP PS Driver: the printer spews jibberish. I simple test message, "This is a test message" consumes several sheets of paper.
2. Using the Generic PCL Driver: the printer does nothing!
I am currently using OS 10.6.1 (or more - cannot remember the last number exactly). I downloaded and installed the Xerox drivers last night (09MAR10).
I do not want to have to buy a new printer for my new iMac - I bought the iMac because it was supposed to "just work"...
HELP! (Please)
Does anyone have any idea? Any thoughts?

On the Xerox info page it says PCL 6 and postscript are "available." If you don't have those options, then you can't use the postscript (included in OS X) or Generic PCL drivers.
The gibberish symptom means you are trying to print postscript (standard output of OS X apps) on a printer that doesn't do postscript. Find out what your printer has, exactly.

Xerox Phaser 6100 under Lion

I have a Xerox Phaser 6100 connected to a USB print server, that I've successfully been using with my computers (Windows, Mac & Linux) for 6+ years, and am trying to figure out a way to get it working with my new iMac running OS X 10.7 Lion. Unfortunately, Xerox support for this printer dropped off some time ago, and the last driver published for OS X was for PowerPC, under 10.5. I am able to use that driver with Rosetta support on my MacBook Pro under 10.6, but with 10.7 that's no longer an option. Does anyone have a workaround that will get it function under 10.7? I've tried adding it as a "Generic Postscript Printer", but that doesn't seem to work; the job clears out of the queue on the comptuer like it's gone through successfully, but it never shows up at the printer.
I suppose that, in the end, it's not a major loss since all my other computers can print to it without problems, but since I try to do most of my daily work on the iMac it would be nice to be able to print to it without swapping over to another machine.

The Xerox web site shows the Phaser 6100 uses a Host-based printing system. There is no mention of it supporting Postscript, hence the lack of any output when using the Generic Postscript driver included with Lion. There is also no mention of it supporting PCL, so that rules out the Generic PCL driver included with Lion.
So unless there is an open source driver that will support this Xerox proprietary printer language, although I could not locate one from the usual places, then it would appear that Lion and any future OS X will not be compatible with this printer.
One workaround for the iMac running Lion could be to print via a shared printer queue, running on one of the Windows computers. Have a read of this blog about how to do this.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

CS5 on Win-7 to Xerox Phaser 7750 PS outputs 2/page printouts.

I recently upgraded to a new computer running Windows 7, 64 bit. I have the Adobe CS5 with Acrobat. When I print to my Xerox Phaser 7750 PS printer from any Adobe program (Even Reader) the output will print as if outputting 2 pages/sheet. I.E. a letter size (portrait) file will be reduced to fit on half a page, landscape orientated. If printing a multi-page document in Reader or Acrobat it will print booklet style.
I can override the problem in Reader and Acrobat by printing as an image, but the other products won't allow me to do this (or I can't figure out how!). I have the most current Xerox driver, and Xerox is telling me it is an Adobe problem since my other PS printers work fine.
I have this problem only with Adobe Programs, and only on this printer. All other programs I have print correctly to the Xerox, and the Adobe CS5 prints correctly with my other printers. The Xerox is my only Color printer and I need to fix this problem. Any help out there?

Did you ever find a solution to this problem as I have just encountered the same problem today?

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
Anton
