[MacTUG] New Xerox printers and 10.8???!!!???

[Matthew Oliver]

I should add as a bit of a curiosity...
I initially assumed it was any xerox printer that used that driver (quite a few) including the printers Don mentioned, the 3635MFP's and the 7535/45 series as well...
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 communication that fails as soon as equitrac is used to communicate in between the printer and the client. I guess the 3635s aren't sophisticated enough for this and therefore they work fine.
Don if you setup your printers through the windows sharing tab they work fine but they tend to require the user to re-authenticate every time they want to print which is super annoying.
It's only LDP printing that causes those "Printer Status" jobs to appear.
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)

I'm still playing with this to find a better solution as time allows.

Hi Don,

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

I have been using Mountain Lion with the new xerox printers and have had no issues.

Do you have the latest driver? I know there was a problem with an older version of the driver, which didn't support accounting, but that has been fixed in the latest driver I am told.

Has anyone had trouble with the new xerox printers (e.g. 5335 and 5745) and Mountain Lion.
