I've been waiting for Xerox to release a Lion compatible driver for my printer before upgrading to Lion.
Their latest compatibility chart shows the Phaser 6200 as unsupported in OSX 10.7.
Is there perhaps a third party driver that will work in this situation?
My current options seem to be to buy a new printer, or continue waiting for Xerox....
iMac (24-inch Mid 2007), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I tried to add my Xerox Phaser 6200 by adding it in the default "add printer" box, but the Printer does not come up and I don't see any way to add it manually. I click on the + to add the printer, but get no options to add. I have downloaded Xerox's driver, but don't know how to get the printer to show in the add printer box. Any help would be SO appreciated.
You can go to Applications>System Preferences>PRINT & SCAN>In the column on the Left click on the "+" sign at the bottom>Add your Printer>Under "Default Printer" on the lower right, select your Printer. (This will use Apple's driver for Lion.)
Hope this helps 🙂
Thanks for the quick response.
Do you know if the Apple driver supports two sided printing?
I haven't actually upgraded to Lion yet, but the printer was my last concern.
Have you tried the Xerox drivers?
It's a Postscript printer, so just needs a PPD file to provide the options (such as two-sided printing) to the Apple Postscript driver.
I have an even older Pahser 850DP and it works fine with Lion using the PPD files from the Xerox site.
Xerox Phaser 6200 driver OSX 10.7?
