<div>
<div>I should add as a bit of a curiosity...</div>
<div>I initially assumed it was any xerox printer that used that driver (qu=
ite a few) including the printers Don mentioned, the 3635MFP's and the 7535=
/45 series as well...</div>
<div>What's interesting is the 3635's work just fine through equitrac... It=
would seem that the drivers expect/allow some sort of bi-directional commu=
nication that fails as soon as equitrac is used to communicate in between t=
he printer and the client. I guess
the 3635s aren't sophisticated enough for this and therefore they work fin=
e.</div>
<div>Don if you setup your printers through the windows sharing tab they wo=
rk fine but they tend to require the user to re-authenticate every time the=
y want to print which is super annoying.</div>
<div>It's only LDP printing that causes those "Printer Status" jo=
bs to appear.</div>
<div>I was hoping IPP printing would fix this but the IPP implementation is=
super broken in OS X it seems (at least authenticated IPP printing)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm still playing with this to find a better solution as time allows.<=

<div>Hi Don,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Same thing happens for me, it's to do with printing through an equitra=
c queue, they work fine (for me) until you bring equitrac into the picture.=
</div>
<div>So far xerox support has been less than helpful with this issue.</div>
