xerox 3.50.0(1459) printer driver

[tcandela]

will i be able to use the xerox print driver 3.50.0.pkg pulled from the downloaded .dmg? I just put the .pkg in the base configuration. Here is what happens when I run the .pkg straight up from a mac.

I want to see how the .pkg runs/acts/behaves prior to using it in my configuration, so I run the driver .pkg (just like any normal at home mac user would) on a test mac, it goes through the installation steps and then stops at 'SELECT A PRINTER' waiting for me to either choose any discovered printers, type in ip/dns of printer or just click 'continue'. At this point the printer installation stops until i choose, so I choose 'continue'. After I choose 'continue' a popup informing me that 'print queue not created' appears, I click 'continue' again and the installation was successful.

I am concerned that due to this step 'select a printer' I will not be able to use this xerox 3.50 driver, is this correct?

I updated the Xerox print drivers with the same version and build recently, with those same concerns, and it installed and updated without a hitch, and no interactive prompts that needed to be dismissed.

I can also confirm that the deployment of Xerox 3.50 runs without any interaction, both as an install from Self Service and as a background install

We have been using the Xerox drivers this way for a couple of years now. The .pkg runs fine as a background install.

thanks, I just tested it in self service and looks to have gone through. I go no errors, /var/log/jamf.log says 'successfully installed xerox.3.5.pkg'

Also deploying the 3.50.0.pkg in the background. We use lpadmin in a script to map the Xerox copiers & printers.
