I've got an old but still perfectly working Xerox printer on my network.
Existing computers can connect to it with full functionality. When adding the
printer to a new computer, there is a "Use:" menu which offers
Auto Select
Generic Postscript Printer
Generic PCL Printer
Select Software...
Other...
Previously the routine was to choose "Other..." and then select a Printer
Description File, a postscript file supplied by Xerox.
But now when I try to set it up on a new computer, and try to select this
printer description file, the file is greyed out in the file selector.
Existing computers where the printer is already set up, still work with it
even though their version of macOS has been updated. But on a computer that
doesn't already have this printer set up, it's not possible to select this
file, and so not possible to set it up properly. I can still set up the
printer as a generic printer, but can't then access all the features.
Does anyone know what the printer set up software is looking for when it
decides whether to allow me to select the printer description file?
TIA,
Ben
