Why is Xerox printer incompatible with FM?

[#1]

Tried printing today from FM to Xerox WorkCentre  70225, and got an error message saying it was incompatible. Has anyone else seen that?Is it merely some weird one-off with this printer model?

Thanks!

The best, most predictable plan is to always print to Adobe PDF, then use Reader or Acrobat to send to printer.

I'm laughing a bit. The only reason I haven't printed to PDF is that I keep getting the error message that the file is invalid, and forums say it's because of internal security on the PDF images I imported by reference. I'm desperate enough to print from FM then scan the pages into PDF.

Which is why I'm asking. 😉

If on Windows 10, ensure you're completely up-to-date.

Then follow all the recommendations I mention at techcomm.tools/pdf. This should solve your problem.

Thanks! I'll take a look. We're on whatever version comes with Windows 365.

ACP, I can't get your link to work.

techcomm.tools/pdf with or without the /pdf.

Odd, it's working for me, but here's the long link http://techcommtools.com/framemaker-pdf-tips-and-tricks/

Incompatible in what way? Does it not have the correct drivers installed?

I looked for a xerox driver that works with FM, but found nothing specific. I know I've printed from FM to all kinds of printers over the years, including Xerox, and never hit this before.
