[G4] Printer Problem...

[Jesus Maria Bianco T.]

Hi,

That is the problem, the Multifunctional (Laser,Scanner and Printer): Xerox WorkCentre M20 is not a Postscript, but the WorkCentre M20i it is.

At the moment, I am stuck, I will need to connect the Mac to the Multifuntional unit via USB, and wait for some king of "Drivers" that can print directly (no postscript).

Easy solution, print in another printer.

Bye...

Make sure you have installed the proper printer driver from your printer¹s manufacturer before beginning. In many cases you can use the Apple ³Generic² printer driver that comes with OS X for third-party printers.
