Leopard and Xerox Phaser 6100

I am unable to get my work Phaser 6100 to work with my MBP. I have installed the drivers a couple of times, but still can't select the printer from the list that OS X leopard seems to support. Does anyone know how I can add the printer as I am having lots of problems trying to get things printed.
Cheers.

Hi, interestingly I am able to print directly to the Phaser 6100 but since upgrading to 10.5.2 I am unable to use the Phaser with my Airport Extreme (N) Base Station. I have sent this information to both Apple and Xerox but I have yet to hear from either of them.
The 10.5.2 update is also causing problems for two other iMac G5 in the household when trying to print through the Airport. Unlike my MBP they can intermittently print, but I can't seem to find a pattern.
I have to say that I am quite surprised that Apple successfully maintained support over the major upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5 but broke it on a minor update.
On a side note, when trying to debug the issue I discovered that the driver for the 6100 (and for that matter the Samsung CLP-510) have yet to be compiled as Universal Binaries.

Xerox Phaser 6100 printer in Mountain Lion?

My migration from old hardware and OS 10.4 is almost complete but I have found no way to drive my Xerox Phaser 6100 printer. Xerox recently (belatedly!) released a long list of Mountain Lion compatible drivers which were included in the latest system update. However, although there were multiple Phaser 61XX drivers, 6100 was not one of them.
I really hate to scrap this useful machine. Any ideas?

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 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.

Xerox Phaser 6100

Hi there, I'm trying to print from a Xerox Phaser 6100 with my MacBook. I've done everything Xerox have told me to (MacOSX10-6_Matrix.pdf) but no joy. A message pops up in the printer window telling me the software was installed incorrectly. Have tried re-installing etc. Does anyone have any experience with this combination of printer and operating system? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Whew that's quite a list of instructions - I take it you did install Rosetta am I correct?
You will find a similar thread [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2140661] which should be helpful to you.

Leopard, InDesign CS2, and Xerox Phaser 6120 Broken

I just updated to Leopard andexcept for a few minor burps, most everything is working except printing from InDesign CS2. When I try to print to my Xerox Phaser 6120, in the printer queue window I get the error:
/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pictwpstops failed
If I look in the CUPS logs, I see this:

It looks to me like xc6120pstops is crashing and dumping core. Or maybe the issue is with pictwpstops . If I switch over to the "Generic" PostScript printer everything works just fine (but I loose duplexing). And no problems printing from other applications, at least yet.
Has anyone else seen a similar problem?

I seem to be having the same problem with my Xerox Phaser 6120 although it is not application specific. xc6120pstops crashes even if I just print a test page. Generic postscript printer works fine. I've managed to set the printer default to use the duplexer via the web interface, but I'd still rather have full access to the driver.
The Crashreporter log (which oddly reports that xc6120pstops is PPC even though it should be Intel) indeed shows a crash, but I don't know how to interpret any of the detailed information:

Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and Xerox Phaser 8560

Ok, so I got the new trackpad, which to be useful, requires upgrading to 10.6.4. After I did, it worked great, problem, my printer stopped working correctly and would print irregular. This is a known issue going back to 10.6.3 back in April. I am running USB to the printer and due to my office configuration can't set it up for ethernet printing. Does anyone have a patch for this yet? I had to reload SL 10.6.2 so my printer would work, but of course I loose the functionality of my trackpad now. Xerox blames Apple, and Apple blames Xerox... and the wheel goes round...

I would get after Xerox to issue updated drivers.

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!!!

Partial page printing with newer HP Laserjets and Xerox printers

Post Author: lazytrbar
CA Forum: .NET
I have been using Cyrstal Reports Developer 9.2 with .NET 2003 for a couple years now with no problems. We recently installed some new printers. HP Laserjet 4250 and Xerox Phaser 6300N. On both of these new printers the crystal report printout comes out as only a partial page. The area of the report printed is only about 4 inches x 4 inches in the upper left hand corner. The rest of the page is blank. It is not a margin setting on the printer. All other printouts work correctly from web, office products, etc.
If you force the 4250 to use the older 4100 printer driver the problem goes away but that is not a good long term solution. What do I need to do to get my Crystal Reports to work on these newer printers???
I appreciate any advice.

Had similar issue with my HP Deskjet F4500C All in one printer, here's what I did:
make sure these packages are installed or install them
pacman -S cups cups-pdf hplip pyqt3 python2-pyqt
pacman -S system-config-printer-gnome
rc.d cups start
To add device and install hp driver:
1. Run ‘hp-setup’ as root.
2. Click ‘Show Advanced Options’ button and check-enable ‘Manual Discovery’.
3. Enter IP address 192.168.59.63 in the ‘…device ID…’ entry and click ‘Next’ to install driver.
run system-config-printer as root, to add printer
# system-config-printer
click “Add”， Select Device -> Network Printer -> input the IP address of the printer such as “192.168.1.3″, click “Find” -> “Process”
you should be ok from here, if not some further steps:
If you encounter the following error:
File “/usr/share/system-config-printer/newprinter.py”, line 1531, in getNetworkPrinterMakeModel
debugprint (host + “: ” + args)
TypeError: cannot concatenate ‘str’ and ‘list’ objects
You should comment out the error line at 1531 of newprinter.py, and then continue to add the printer.
4). Finally, you can run hp-check to see what problems exists for the printer.

Xerox Phaser 3100 and Snow Leopard: work or not?

Hi,
Xerox don't support Phaser 3100 scan functions on Mac OS X 10.6 (the xerox printer driver work perfectly), so I installed SANE driver and scanner work fine on my MacBook AIr with Mac OS X 10.6.2.
Then, I installed Snow Leopard on my iMac 20" 2,0GHz and the same driver didn't work; so, I'll be back to connect Phaser 3100 to my MacBook Air and the scanner didn't work now!!
I'm going crazy, please anyone help me!!

Not here.
I used the phaser 3100 on leopard via its wireless options on my studio's network.
now my mac is running snow leopard and printer driver doesn't work.
there's no updated drivers per se.
i don't know if i should wait for a driver or sell the printer. **** !

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 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,

Xerox Phaser 6110MFP/X Not Working on Snow Leopard

I've just updated from Leopard to Snow Leopard and I can't get my Xerox Phaser 6110MFP/X working.
I tried to reinstall drivers from support.xerox.com, changed permissions, restarted my computer... but I can't get my printer working.
When I print something I keep getting this error:
Stampante pronta
Il software della stampante non è stato installato correttamente. Reinstallalo o contatta il produttore per ottenere assistenza.
Printer is ready
Software is not installed correctly. Reinstall or contact support to get assistance.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

I posted about this in my blog (http://macfixes.blogspot.com) - but long story short with the 6110 MFP (USB or Network)... this is how I resolved the issue.
1. Install the printer (if it isn't in there already) - it'll probably have the same queue name... thats fine - thats the problem. =)
2. Go Install the same printer again, this time creating a new queue (usually add's a "-1" to the end of the queue name).
3. Delete the first (original) queue.
4. Test Print.
5. Joy.
I found that even after resetting CUPS (Printing System), new driver, Generic Driver (tried HP LaserJet 4 - its almost universal) and even went the route of installing the universal binaries listed on other blogs (referenced in mine) - nothing worked until I forced it to create a new queue and everything worked just fine - even using the driver that the OS "Automatically Found" (or the one from the original OS)...
From that point - share the working printer to the rest of your printers, if necessary.
If that doesn't work, check out the links (I gathered most of them from the Apple Discussions) on my blog) and see if their drivers/suggestions help.
If none of that works, email me.
Xerox worked extensively and couldn't figure anything else out - they simply told me they would have a driver out late Fall. Fail on someone's part.
Hope this helps.

Printing with Xerox Phaser 3124 printer in leopard

The Xerox Phaser 3124 printer will work with Leopard you have to download and install the
Samsung ML-2510 printer driver for mac.
Heres the link http://driverscollection.com/?file_cid=38840744151bcd2230775d019ca
(theres a spam checker down the button you need to fill in before it will download)

Update Acrobat 9. I think you need at least 9.2.2 for Windows 7 compatibility. Upgrade to the latest 9.3.4.

Any way to use a Xerox Phaser 3124 in Leopard

Is it possible to Xerox Phaser 3124 printer in Mac OS X Leopard? I'm planning my transition to a Mac Mini but I'm not sure if my printer will work. Xerox website says it doesn't support Macs. I've only used my printer in Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux (using Samsung ML-1710 drivers). Browsing in Samsung website I've found ML-1710 drivers for OS X. I'm not sure if it would be as simple as in Linux to try to use ML-1710 drivers to make it work.
Any considerations? I would buy a new printer totally compatible with OS X if I could but right now this is out of question

The Xerox Phaser 3124 is a host based printer (specifications http://www.office.xerox.com/printers/laser-printers/phaser-3124/spec-enus.html). The Linux driver for the Samsung ML-1710 is the splix driver http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-ML-1710. Currently, there is no Mac OS X installer package for this driver. You would have to compile it from source code yourself.

New Xerox Phaser 6180 and OS 9

I had to replace a Tectronix Phaser and I just got the new one, a Xerox Phaser 6180DN. It is on a LAN at my office (University Medical School) where I use a newer Mac running OS X plus a mixture of older Macs running OS 9 and some PeeCees. I had no problem with OS X in linking to the printer by ethernet, but in OS 9 it does not show up in the chooser using LaserWriter 8. Xerox does not have drivers for this printer under OS 9. Any suggestions?
