Xerox Printer Driver Issue

Issue:

  • After upgrading OS X from 10.7 to 10.8, my mac cannot print properly to the printer connected to QNAP nas.
  • Problem was that only numerous blank pages were sent out.

Solution:

Install Brother HL-2030 driver for Mac OS X instead of Xerox’s printer driver

Config:

  • Fuji Xerox DocuPrint 203A (purchased in 2007)
  • QNAP TS-210 Turbo nas (firmware ver: 3.7.3 Build 20120801)
  • Mac mini with OS X 10.8

Tricks:

  1. Brothers driver works in this scenario.
  2. Change System Preferences -> Personal -> Security & Privacy may be necessary if it’s NOT set to “Allow applications downloaded from Anywhere”
  3. Drivers for Xerox printer from Apple site is useless!
