Xerox WorkCentre 3025 driver for Mac
Yes, the Xerox WorkCentre 3025 works on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 27, macOS 26 Tahoe and macOS 15 Sequoia. Install this free, signed, native arm64 driver package and print again. No Rosetta, no Intel-only software from the printer maker, and no need to write or compile a driver yourself.
splix-xerox-workcentre-3025Install the Xerox WorkCentre 3025 driver
- Plug the printer into the Mac with a USB cable and switch it on.
- Download the installer (.pkg) and open it. Click through, enter your Mac password. It is signed and notarized by Apple, so there are no security warnings.
- Print something. The installer recognised the printer and set it up as the default.
Still not printing? Restart the Mac once and unplug / re-plug the printer. Then see below.
Wi-Fi, network, or not detected over USB
After installing, open Terminal (⌘+Space, type Terminal), paste this and press Enter:
sudo gutenprint-add splix-xerox-workcentre-3025For a network printer, add a name and the printer's address (lpinfo -v lists what macOS can see):
sudo gutenprint-add splix-xerox-workcentre-3025 MyPrinter socket://192.168.1.50Or without Terminal: System Settings → Printers & Scanners → Add → Use: Select Software… and pick “Xerox WorkCentre 3025” ending in “Apple Silicon”.
Why did my Xerox WorkCentre 3025 stop working?
Xerox's own Mac driver for this printer was built for Intel Macs only. On Apple Silicon it ran through Rosetta until macOS 27, which no longer allows that, so System Settings now says “The printer software is not compatible with this device”. This package replaces it with SpliX 2.0.2, compiled natively for Apple Silicon.
The Xerox WorkCentre 3025 speaks Samsung's SPL printer language rather than PCL or PostScript, so it uses the bundled native arm64 SpliX driver rather than Gutenprint. Toner save, density and resolution are in the print dialog under Printer Features.
Print quality and black & white: in the print dialog open Printer Features (Printer Options on macOS 27). Quality is under Resolution; for black & white set Color Model to Grayscale. Ink and toner levels can't be shown by open source drivers.
Questions
Does the Xerox WorkCentre 3025 work on macOS 27, macOS 26 Tahoe and Apple Silicon?
Yes. This free package adds a native arm64 SpliX driver for the Xerox WorkCentre 3025. It runs on every Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 12 or later, including macOS 27, without Rosetta.
Do I need to write my own Xerox WorkCentre 3025 driver?
No. The Xerox WorkCentre 3025 is already supported by SpliX, an open source driver with years of tuning for this printer. Install the package; there is nothing to write, compile or patch.
Why does my Xerox WorkCentre 3025 say “The printer software is not compatible with this device”?
Xerox's Mac driver for the Xerox WorkCentre 3025 is Intel-only and ran through Rosetta, which macOS 27 no longer allows. Install this package, restart the Mac once, then unplug and re-plug the printer.
