Mar 6, 2015 8:11 PM in response to Rochow710by greg sahli,★HelpfulIt sounds like you are using an old driver. Unfortunately, print file locations changed in Yosemite (for security), and nearly Every driver needed to be updated.
I see here that your printer isn't supported in Yosemite:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download - Apple Support
As you look for a driver, note that Samsung ML-1210 and Lexmark E210 use compatible drivers.

Mar 7, 2015 6:17 AM in response to greg sahliby greg sahli,I have another idea on how to use the old driver. NO guarantees.
For all who may be reading this -- this is for Yosemite -- it reduces security by relaxing sandboxing. It is a workaround, not a permanent fix.
Use the Terminal utility to run the two commands below -
sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd(sudo means superuser do - this is your admin user on OS X. It asks for your password - but it hides it from you when you type - for security)

OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system also Yosemite

Mar 9, 2015 4:08 PM in response to greg sahliby Rochow710,Thanks for getting back to me. I tried that but it didn't seem to work. The guys at Xerox said there is no driver coming out for the machine I have. Does anyone know about a hack driver for this printer model?

Mar 9, 2015 7:09 PM in response to Rochow710by greg sahli,In Applications > Utilities you will find "Terminal."
(probably best to copy and paste those two commands, so you don't mess up the spaces/punctuation, etc.)
