Erratic Behavior of Color Printer with Print Server.

It sounds like a driver mis-match. You might brouse the printer mfg. sites for downloadable color drivers to install. A basic printer driver may be picked by the server instead of the preferred mfg. driver.

Good luck!

It may use a different driver or path to print via the server. Go into the Print & Scan preference panel. Double click on a printer name related to Xerox, then click on the Printer Setup icon. The Location field should indicate something related to the print server. If not, close the windows for that printer and click on the - sign at the bottom of the list to delete it. (I'm assuming that the B&W printer(s) is/are not Xerox). If this process eliminates all but one Xerox printer, you should be done. It's not a problem if this process eliminates all Xerox printers; Continue below.

I have solved Mac printing problems more than once by NOT using the software that came with the printer. Instead, on one of the workstations, go into the Print & Scan preference panel and discard all drivers that may be related to the Xerox printer. Then click on the + to add a printer, and make sure that the Location field of the selected printer indicates something related to the print server before adding it. The workstation must have access to the internet, so the Mac can find the appropriate driver. Once found and installed, I always go into the Printer Setup (double click on the printer name in the Print & Scan preference panel, then click on the Printer Setup icon), and change the name to something short enough to see all of it in the printer name list, like "Xerox Prt Server".

Unfortunately, I don't have a print server available today to actually follow the above instructions; hopefully they will help.

Of course, if this solves the problem for that workstation, follow the same steps on all the others.

Good Luck
