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 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 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.

  • Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

    Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

    John -
    My "Use" menu only contains Apple print drivers.  And Canon drivers, from the location I set this machine up.  None for my home use....which is a Xerox machine.
    Not being on the menu, I don't know how to acquire this generic driver. 
    Any further helpful hints?
    I appreciate your thoughts and help.

  • 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?

  • How to set up Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.5 as printer in Mountain Lion

    How do I set up Adobe Acrobat 9 as printer in Mountain Lion as I would with Windows?

    Changes in OS X made it impossible for Acrobat Pro to install a "printer" for itself as it did before Snow Leopard. The PPD for Acrobat was always very buggy anyway, so no one really misses that part of it.
    For any Adobe app (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), you instead go to the File menu and choose the PDF flyout, as show here:
    For other apps, you hit Command+P as always and open the Adobe PDF options at the lower left of the print dialogue box:
    Choose "Save as Adobe PDF" and continue on from there to choose your PDF settings.
    Quark XPress has all of the pro PDF options built in to its output. You don't use access Acrobat Pro at all in the menus or standard print dialogue.

  • HP 5200 printing in Mountain Lion -BROKEN!

    What to do to print on an HP5200 laser printer in Mountain Lion – on a 27" iMac, wirelessly via an Airport Extreme?
    It worked flawlessly on Lion, plain vanilla variety.
    Sometimes I get NO printer response; mostly I receive a warning declaring . . . “The software for the printer was installed incorrectly. Would you like it repaired?” Of course I select “Repair”. It then works for one document only, followed by an identical  error for the next printing request.
    I have reinstalled the 5200 – 4 times! – via SYSTEM PREFS > PRINT & SCAN > OPTIONS & SUPPLIES . . .
    "GENERAL" lists a ver 18.4 Driver
    "DRIVER" merely cites Tray, Collating characterists, Disk etc. nothing about a driver
    "UTILITY > OPEN PRINTER UTILITY" lists as UNKNOWN everything except the Driver Version
    I checked with HP’s murky help site. It declares that HP has NO driver available for any OSX subsequent to Snow Leopard. Suggests: "Call Apple".
    Called AppleCare. Apple’s Senior Tech didn’t so anything but argue with me that HP has drivers to fix the problem. I read the HP citation to her and she hung-up on me.
    BTW: My HP DeskJet 970Cse functions OK in Mountain Lion.
    BTW Nr 2: Anything in Safari 6.0 immediately crashes the 5200.

    Try resetting the printing system. Follow these steps:
    System Preferences - Print & Scan - Highlight printer on left panel - right click and choose Reset Printing System....

  • Xerox Phaser 7800 Printer Status issue

    I have a Xerox Phaser 7800 printer printing to a Windows 2008 Server R2 print server. While printing to the server the Xerox printer setup will continue to insert print jobs into the queue that say "Printer Status".  The "Printer Status", print jobs can be deleted without effecting the final printing. They will also timeout if you just leave them in the queue. From what we can tell, these "Printer Status" jobs are asking for status info before sending the print job (is paper loaded, toner leverls OK, etc...) Why they need this info... I don't know. When the Xerox printer setup is printing directly to the printer, the printer responds approperiatley and everything is fine.
    Since we operate in a public printing environement (University) we need to be able to control access to the printer via a printer server.
    Xerox's official stance on this is that they do not support printing from Mac OS X to a Windows print server. It is an unsupported configuration. This seems to be a commone stance for printier manufactures. We have a Ricoh printer with similar issues.
    On the Ricoh printer we were able to locate the section of the PPD code that makes the similar request of printer status and comment out those lines so the request is no longer sent.  I'm having a little more trouble with the Xerox PPD in locating the lines of code to comment out.
    If anyone has experience editing PPDs you help would be greatly appreciated!
    If anyone has influence at Xerox, help them understand their mistake and to at the very least change the PPD to allow the "Printer Status" requests to be suppressed as part of the printer setup.

    Same issue here with Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06. It will NOT collate whatsoever, regardless of the settings on the Print Dialog or the Printer Properties. It works with all other apps. Using HP Postscript drivers that come with Windows 7 SP1.

  • 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.

    Check the Samsung web site and you can probably e-mail them to ask if they are planning to write a driver. There is a universal driver from April 2013.

  • Can't see Fuji Xerox C1110 Printer in Mountain Lion

    I have an unusual problem.  I have a Fuji Xerox C1110 laser printer with both USB and Ethernet ports.  This printer is connected to an internet modem router and dynamically assigned an IP address and is recognised by a Windows 7 PC but not by a Macbook Pro running Lion - either when connecting to the IP port, or even via USB...

    Fasebook intergration will not be available until the Fall update.
