No driver for Xerox Phaser 6120. Print with CUPS or other solution?

I have a Xerox Phaser 6120, but there are no drivers for OS X 10.7.4. How can I use this printer? Is CUPS a solution? Did anybody rtied this?
Is there a driver for Mountain Lion coming?


Looking forward for solutions, thanks.

People who need to SCAN and/or PRINT without a compatible Lion driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:



  1. Click the Apple menu (User uploaded file ), and then click System Preferences .
  2. Click Print & Scan (User uploaded file ).
  3. Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
  4. Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screenUser uploaded file
  5. Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .

The next window looks like this:

Hope this helps 🙂

The specs for this printer show that it supports Postscript and PCL. So for starters I suggest you try creating a print queue using the Generic Postscript printer driver included with Lion. If this prints then you have confirmed that it does support Postscript, so the next step is to find a driver, or at least a PPD, that will let you access more finishing options. But if you are happy with just printing then the Generic PS driver will work fine.
