Tiger broke my printing support on Xerox DC 4 CP

I just upgraded from 10.1.5 to 10.4.7 and now the same PPD for Xerox Docucolor 4 CP doesn't work anymore: printing dialog shows the options, but some of them are not accessible. And in addtition the scands are not working.
There's no support on Xerox's webpage and I'm getting a little frustrated on this situation... Printing works with the generic postscript driver, but it lacks support for multiple trays and other printing features.

The printing system in Tiger is different than in OS 10.1.5. You will have to use Printer Setup Utility and select the installable options that you have on your printer.
Go to Printer Setup Utility (Applications -> Utilities). Highlight your printer in the list of printers. Then press the "i" icon at top to Show Info. You will see a pop up menu that contains "Name & Location", "Printer Model", and "Installable Options". When you choose the "Installable Options" you can check the boxes for the items and memory you have on your printer. Be sure to click "Apply Changes" when you are done. The options should then be available in the print window.
I cannot find any drivers for the scanning function.

Tiger and PostScript printing

Next week I am getting my G5 Dual Core. Currently I am working with my good old Beige G3, still with good old OS 9.2...
As a graphic designer, I am questioning Tiger's ability to print PostScript on my (good old) HP DeskJet 1220C. Up till now I've been using Adobe's PostScript interpreter, PressReady, which would launch automatcally whenever I sent a QuarkXpress document to my 1220.
But PressReady has not been upgraded for years, and is no longer supported by Adobe.
Yes, I know, there is a way to keep working with my 1220 by creating a PDF file of the Quark file, and send it to the printer... WELL, THAT'S NOT AN EFFICIENT, ELEGANT WAY TO WORK, IN M HUMBLE OPINION... There MUST be a more direct way to solve this.
I am a bit confused and overwhelmed, reading all kinds of names like CUPS, GhostScript, and GIMP... Are those Print drivers that I would be able to use instead of my (good old) PressReady?? And if yes, where do I get one?

Thanks, Greg....
When checking my printer, DeskJet 1220C on the list of Tiger's included print drivers and PostScript PPD files --- it lists the driver as Gimp-Print , version 5.0.0-beta2 and "Modern Driver" is checked...
Is that what you refer to when you mentioned GhostScript?
Also, have you had experience with (or knowledge about) specifically printing a QuarkXpress file to a non-PostScript printer?
I am checking, 'cause the response I got from Quark, when investigating printing a Quark file to my 1220 under Tiger, was "create a PDF first and then send it to print"... Which to me sounds inefficient and cumbersome, not acceptable really...

Reader prints A5 to Xerox Phaser on Windows 7 32 bit

I have several Windows 7 machines most 64 biut but one is 32 bit (laptop). All have Reader 10.1.2 installed. I am printing to a Xerox Phaser 8560MFP, which uses Postscript. The 64 bit machines print perfectly. I am slecting print to Fit. The 32 bit machine prints A4 pages as A5. Selecting Advanced|Print as image results in black and white image, not colour. Selecting "choose paper source by pdf size" results in thumbnails on both sides of the page. Driver is up to date.
Anybody got any idea what is going on??
Thanks

Try using the PCL driver - just as a test - to see if it makes any difference. Set up two seperate printers, one that uses PS and one that uses PCL.

At least it will help you find out if it is a driver issue.

Printing to a Xerox laser printer via OS9 and airport: why no work?

My powerbook runs OSX 10.3.9. I have a Belkin wireless router and use Airport to print to the Xerox without any problems. The Xerox has its own IP address, as required by the Belkin router.
When I boot up Classic, however, Classic can't find the Xerox; it never shows up in the Chooser (Laserwriter 8) unless I a) connect an Ethernet cable from the Powerbook to the Belkin router, and b) reboot Classic. If I do that, the Xerox appears in the chooser and I can print to it from within OS9.
What does it take to configure OS9 to recognize the fact that my Mac's underlying OSX is connected via Airport to my router and printer, so I don't have to constantly switch back and forth from cable to airport whenever I run OS9? The OS9 Apple System Profiler says Open Transport, Appletalk and TCP/IP are installed. Under Network overview it says Ethernet PCI Slot: link-n/a; speed-n/a; duplex-n/a; It also says default Appletalk zone is Not Available and active network port(s) is Ethernet PCI Slot [1]...Not sure what all this signifies. Any ideas?

The Xerox N2125 printer is discontinued by Xerox and no longer supported. My general experience with this printer was that it was a constant source of problems, networkingwise. I always wished I had purchased a HP printer instead. I would never buy another Xerox printer for my Mac.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot duplex printing issue to Xerox 8560?

Can you print on a cd providing your printer supports it?

Do you have an application that's designed for printing on CD/DVD discs? If your Canon has that capability it probably has an app that will do it.
I use Discus which works extremely well IMO. It allows me to create some rather innovative labels:

Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.

What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

Download usb printing support

OK I have unfortunatly have windows 8.1 only because my old computer crashed and was forced to buy it. I hate it for my desktop. Aside from it having to restart IE all the time I am suddenly having problems with my printer. I have a HP Laserjet 1100. Yes its old but it prints wonderfully. People think I must own an expensive printer when they see the copies. Anyway, the last time I printed on my computer was in October of 2014 and it printed fine. Suddenly it won't print now. I tried removing and reinstalling to no avail. I Dled the HP print and scan doctor. It said the drivers were installed but that I needed to click the Get Installer button to DLed the USB printing support. I was expecting it to take me to a page where I could read a disclaimer and click a DL button but instead it to me to the main DL center page. So I did a search for USB printing support and tried DLing a couple different things but DR still says I need to DL the USB printing support. Can someone please get me off this ride. Thank you!

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I am not a Laser Printer Expert; I could possibly be wrong about this:
I do not see an answer that contradicts that you have already found: There is not a solution for Windows 8.1 for this vintage Printer.
I spent some time looking at the Windows 7 solution and even for that OS the possibilities are severely limited -- the scan features are stripped and much of the printer's functionality are no longer available. I would not recommend something so radical as downgrading to Windows 7 as a means to save the Printer. You could print, maybe, after a bit of work -- but the functionality is gone.
It might be time to consider an printer upgrade. Sigh. There are some good choices in new Laser Printers if you decide to give one of them a chance.
Good Luck.

What does "hard error" mean? How can I fix it. My HP 4500 Officejet wireless printer is not printing when it says "printing" and further inquiry tells me there is a "hard error". I have tried the usual plug and unplug.

Generic IEEE 1284.4 printing support [ Edited ]Re: Generic IEEE 1284.4 printing support [ Edited ]

Hi, I am following this post as I am having the same problem that I am trying to install LaserJet 1300 on my Window XP computer. I see the post indicates IEEE 1284.4 printer support is included in Windows 7. Does that mean I installed wrong printer driver? From the device driver page, I only see driver for XP 64 bits, Windows 7 and Windows 8 and I selected Windows 7 32bits (because I have Windows XP 32 bits system). or if there is IEEE 1284.4 printer support driver for Windows XP can download?

The basic print driver for your printer are already included within Windows 7 32 bit OS.
1. Plug a USB cable from your printer to your PC.
2. Windows 7 is suppose to automatically detect and install built in drivers.
NOTE: Computer may need to be connected to the internet in order for Windows to automatically download the updated built-in driver list.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01874792&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4062&product=899...
By the way, IEEE 1284.4 printing support refers to the much older bi-directional parallel port printers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_1284
Windows may be generically calling it that because it does not yet recognize your printer.
Let me know if this helps.

Printing Problem with Xerox 6120

I've connected a Xerox 6120 color laser printer to my home LAN (cable modem to Netgear wireless router). When the printer is turned on the Mini can't get an IP.I've tried using fixed IP for both the Mac and the Xerox to no avail. (FYI, my G3 Pismo Laptop works correctly as does a Dell laptop in this same setting)
Xerox support has acknowledged this problem with the Mini. They told me they've communicated with Apple tech support.
Mini & Pismo Laptop Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Peter,
Sorry I can't help you with your particular question, but I am considering purchasing a Xerox Phaser 6120. Are you generally satisfied and does it work with/support Rendezvous? Thanks very much.

I can't print to a Xerox 7750GX that is directly attached to the network

I can't print with G5 dual Mac Pro. I was printing find after an upgrade, but I had a lot of permission problems so I did a wipe of the startup disk and reinstalled. I have downloaded the new Xerox Printer driver.
I can print with an IMAC 24" and a PowerBook G4 all with Leopard 10.5.1 on the same network.
The printer shows that it is available and I can send the print job to it but it just sits in the queue and the message in printer dialog box is that it can't get the status (Forbidden. I've ran disk utility to fix permissions from the install disk and it says that there are SUID problems with the Xerox printer files and they won't be fixed. There is only one user. I've tried creating a separate user that is not an admin and it has the same problem. Any ideas? Thank you.

gonelly,
See if the drivers posted here won't do what you need. http://www.support.xerox.com/go/results.asp?Xtype=download&prodID=WC7132&Xlang=e n_US&Xcntry=USA
Just download the one you need, and double-click on it when it's done being downloaded.
It should install in the correct location on your Mac.
Then see if the printer works... Please post back with results.
Hope this helps,
Bob
