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.

Leopard shared printing driver problems

When using USB printers shared on a machine running Tiger, the page orientation settings in Adobe applications don't work properly when sent from a machine running Leopard. Is this a known problem?

There is a known issue with the EFI (Fiery) print controllers and the Adobe CS2 and CS3 suite, where the second and subsequent pages of a landscape document will print in portrait, with the content still in landscape and consequently running off the edge of the page. EFI released a driver update to resolve the issue, after spending many weeks stating that it was an Adobe problem.
As for your setup, I am not aware of a problem with a Tiger USB shared printer when printing from Leopard. But then we mostly print from the Adobe suite via Ethernet - not USB - and certainly no sharing between Leopard and Tiger.

Want to use shared printer - driver question

Unfortunately I don't have my Macbook Pro with me to try this. My wife is using it for her business trip.
But I would like to install a shared Windows printer on the MBP. Will Leopard ask me for a driver?? If so, which driver is it asking me about? The Windows Imf file? The mac driver for the printer?

You must use a printer driver for the Mac and a printer driver for the Windows machine. The driver must be for the printer that will be used. Printer sharing must be activated on the computer to which the printer is connected unless it is a network printer connected to a router.

After installing 10.7, cannot print to Fuji Xerox C3210DX

Bother versions of the Driver 2.2 and the ps(Post script), do not work properly.
The generic printer driver also does not work properly.

Does not work properly on three different Macbook Pro's.
When attempting to print, the printed jobs are paused in the print list. Pressing resume prints the document, but the job remains in the list preventing other jobs from printing.
The software update feature, says failed... Contact provider or words to that effect.
We had the same problem with a Brothers printer just today. I suspected the driver was faulty but had the same results after a fresh software download from Apple, and one from Brothers web site. I print using a USB cable to my mac and my wife, who is running SL, prints wirelessly through my mac. We switched the cable to her mac, thinking this was a Lion problem, but had the exact same problem you describe above. A call to Brothers coached me through my System Preferences>Print & Scan> to select each printer in the "Printers" window and remove by clicking the "-" symbol. Then click "+" symbol and select the correct driver. Then select that printer as the "Default printer" in the lower dialog window.
Hope it works for you.

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

How to update driver for Xerox printer?

Internal Default driver is FX ApeosPort-III C5500 v3017.104 PS
I've downloaded Version: 1.70.110 (release date: 29/05/2013) for Mac OS X 10.5-10.8 Print Driver from xerox website
The file is "Fuji Xerox PS Plug-in Installer.pkg" and double click to install it successfully.
But how can I choose the latest driver?
When I try to 'Select Printer Sofftware' from Printer Using, it is no dedicated driver for selecion.
Any suggestions? Many thanks.

At printer general page, the driver version is 2.0 before.
After I followed your step and add the C5500 driver again, the driver version displays 4.0 now.
Just confuse how to verify the driver is latest one as I downloaded Version is 1.70.110 (release date: 29/05/2013)

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.

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.

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?

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?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
How did you add it? What error do you get? What applications have your tried?

Is anyone having problems with the new Xerox printer driver update from Apple? My 8700S is no longer working with QuarkXPress.

I allowed a System Update that included a Xerox Printer update. I am running a MacPro 10.6.8 with Quark 8.5.1 and a Xerox ColorQube 8700S. EVERY was working perfectly before the "update" but afterwards anything sent to the printer from Quark would stall the printer. I went to the Xerox website and downloaded their Printer Driver and tried again. Now I could print from Quark but I can NOT get to the printer window to change the type of paper, etc. So, the problem still persists.
Should I try going into Time Machine and trying to find the Xerox Print Driver in the Library folder?
Should I upgrade the whole system software? (I wouldn't mind doing that AFTER I get this magazine off to the commerical printer)
Should I upgrade to Quark 9?
Any help here would be apprciated.
Thanks - Rob

As a general rule of thumb, I never install updates until I read its info and I am having problems with my current software. I hide the updates until I need them. Usually this happens when I update or upgrade my os. I don't fix what ain't broken is my golden rule.
It is possible that you need to update or upgrade Quark in order for your newer printer driver to work. First I would try the following....
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.
Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select Disk Utility.
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
Click Repair Disk.
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 and restart your computer.
If your printer does not work afterwards, update or upgrade Quark. If that does not work, contact the printer manufacturer.

Is there a workaround for a print driver to run on Lion for an old Xerox Workcenter M15i

I have an older Xerox Workcenter M15i. I am trying to use this printer using a new macbook pro running lion. The Xerox web site does not offer a print driver. Does anyone know of a workaround?

Hey GHILL81 - did you ever get a real answer to this? (thanks for nothing, Kappy, you a$$)
I just upgraded to OSX 10.7.4 and my xerox m15i acts squirrelly someties. I am pretty sure a new driver would help.

How to assign the proper printer driver for a network shared HP PSC 1315 on the client side

Hi,
For the sake of simplicity I'll start with the simplest part: I have successfully got the above mentioned printer to work on the PC where it is connected to via USB (running MS Windowx XP SP 3). I recently downloaded the latest install program for the printer drivers to do that. I connected it then to another PC (also MS Windows XP SP 3), and also installed the printer drivers using the HP install program and could also print on that one.
Now I wanted to share. I shared the printer on the PC connected to the printer, and on the other one I started the "Add printer" dialogue, chose network, and found it, and selected it. However, I am then told, that the host doesn't have a printer driver so I have to choose one on the client. And this is the problem, as I don't have the printer driver file. As I mentioned, there are no individual divers on the HP home page, only this install program, which I did run on both PCs, but this doesn't help me for the case of assigning the correct printer driver on a network client. Of course I also checked the list of available installed models, but it doesn't show up. So, what do I do?

just so u know I was not trying to print directly to the HP PSC 2355 from my iBook G4, I wanted to print to it over the network, wirelessly. So installing the HP Printer drivers would not serve that purpose. As I tried to explain in my email.
By the way I did find a solution that has worked for me.
The solution is to go to Print & Fax in the System Preferences.
This is assuming that you have shared the printer from the PC.
Then click on the + to add a printer to the iBook G4.
Then click on the More Printers button at the bottom.
You should then ensure that you have Windows Printing selected
You should then make sure that the drop down below is Workgroup I think
Then you should select the computer that u have your printer shared from
Then you should press the Choose button.
Your shared printer should be listed there
You should then select that printer and choose HP from the Model drop down
Then under Model Name pick HP DeskJet 900 series and press the Add button
This model is not for an HP PSC 2355, but it is the appropriate driver for this
printer, if you choose this print driver, everything will work and you can
print wirelessly from your iBook G4 to a HP PSC 2355
I have tested it on several different things including just text and color
graphics as well, and it all worked beautifully, I am so happy now, that I
figured it out.

Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing a PDF

Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing on a domain, this only happens when I print a PDF.
I then have to restart the print spooler to get my printouts sent to the printer. I am using a Windows 7 32 & 64 bit environment on a domain. Users who aren't on the domain experience no issues and their printer drivers remain online and not grayed out.
When I print a PDF using Foxit Reader or Nitro PDF then all works fine, the moment I open a PDF using Adobe Reader X or XI then the shared network printer driver bombs out and I am back restarting the print spooler. If we roll back to Adobe 9 then we dont have any issues.
When you create a local printer driver all works fine, the problem is we don't encourage local printer drivers due to security.
We use Ricoh printer drivers, the MPC5501 PCL5C, driver version 1.2.0.0 with PDK version 12.65. We have also tried the PCL6 printer driver and Universal printer driver. All give the same result. The printer uses Winiprint Print processor using RAW as the default data type.
We have contacted Adobe Global Support who advised that they cannot assist with this query as this is on a Domain environment and we have to contact our IT Department.
We would really appreciate some professional help here to get a fix for this issue in order to address potential future occurance's

Try to turn off any video acceleration on your graphic driver for your graphics card.
