Just installed Monterey 12.5.1, and now my Mac won't recognize my Xerox laser printer, a Versalink C405. I"ve got the most recent Xerox driver, but re-installed it anyway. Still no luck. Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.4
Hi,
The Xerox VersaLink C405 Color Multifunction Printer is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a supported printer. If a driver from the printer manufacturer is not working for some reason, you could perhaps try AirPrint. The AirPrint technology is compatible with macOS, and allows printing without the need for additional drivers, provided that the printer and the Mac computer are connected to the same network (subnet). AirPrint works with wireless (Wi-Fi) or wired (Ethernet) network connections.

Jan I'm so grateful for the suggestion. I never have set up an internet connection for this printer, so I've gone straight to the documentation to do that now. Having trouble figuring out the admin login, but I live in hope. When I finally get that business figured out and try the AirPrint procedure, I'll post here whether or not it worked. THANK YOU.
It took some time for me to acquire the wi-fi adaptor for this printer, but I did and now I can print via AirPrint. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you for the report.
Monterey 12.5.1 no longer compatible with Xerox Versalink C405? Or is there a setting I need to change?
