# Intro | |
Xerox said that Phaser 3140 hass "level 2" of support which means that Xerox not planning to update it's driver any way. | |
macOS no longer supports 32bit apps since macOS Catalina, and Xerox drivers installer provided at xerox.com is 32bit-app. But drivers will still work if we can install it. So we just need to install drivers itself manually. | |
To make it old printers work you just need to copy few files from installer to their designed locations. | |
# Download | |
You can download unpacked files from macOS 10.14 (10.11+) or unpack from official site by yourselve. | |

#Installation | |
Put downloaded files to appropriate path: | |
folder: /Library/Printers/Xerox/Phaser_3140_3155 | |
files: | |
/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Xerox Phaser 3140 and 3155.gz | |
/private/etc/cups/ppd/Xerox_Phaser_3140_and_3155.ppd | |
After that you can install new printer and chose "Xerox Phaser 3140 and 3155" in "Select software" modal window. If it says that driver is damaged, press Repair button and it works. |
FleXoft, we need your files, for a long time I can not get the printer to work on the new system. Thanks.
Hi, I put it here: https://github.com/FleXoft/Xerox-Phaser-3140-3155-macOS-Catalina-Big-Sur-Monterey-driver
Unfortunately there was also a window where the permissions were fixed for the printer installation. If you can save that image and send my back I'll also include that. It came up for me on the first installation when I tried via USB.
Have a good try, let me know what operating system did / did not work for you with this driver!
Cheers,
_flex.
Hello @FleXoft ,
This is amazing!
It's working for me!
I needed to add permissions to work with these files and it all worked!
Thanks a lot!
Any time! ;-)
Your @dshershov macOS version?
FleXoft, it working on MacOS v12.4 (Monterey), thank you very much!
@FleXoft it's working on BigSur 11.6 for me!
Hello ALL,
Thanks for your response.
Any clue on how to do something like this for a Xerox Phaser 3250? Thanks!
I can check it on my old machine to see what is in the given original XEROX printer driver package, but this old machine is not here with me, so I can only check this next week.
I'll get back to you with what I find...
@cassianorabelo I tried to install the latest available driver for 3250 on my old machine:

but at the end without a real printer I could continue:
You may have to find an old Mac machine around you and install the driver and copy the three directories from that machine which reach the printer over network or maybe USB after a successful installation.
@FleXoft That would be great!
Could you share this files? Thanks
