    Have you tried using the printer with the driver you were previously using? That fact that a new version which Xerox says is compatible with El Cap hasn't been released yet doesn't mean older drivers won't work.

    Thank  for your input. That is the first step that I did , no success. The driver bombs out with a dump which I sent to apple.

    This occurs every time I want to print. It is very frustrating !

    My Epson XP200 no longer is found as a printer, even though it seems the driver is there.My older Mac mini (OSX 10.5) can print just as always, but El Capitan has killed access to my printer and yes, I went to Epson and got the latest drivers without any success. I have read on other forums it is a common complaint for lots of printers.

    Also both my email Clients are on and off with error messages. Apple Mail and Outlook 2011. I already hate El Capitan and I have been a Mac user only since 1985. This is the first time I have been unable to find a solution or work around. Well, the answer is to send the documents made on El Captain to my old Mac Mini OSX 10.5.8. Luckily on my home network, but should NOT have to.

    Apple supports many Xerox printers (as listed in the article) by providing printer drivers for them.  Some have similar designators to yours.  However, yours is not one of those listed.
