Xerox WorkCentre 5855 Driver

The Xerox WorkCentre 5855 driver connects your Windows PC to this Xerox multifunction printer over a network, allowing applications to send print jobs and access supported printing options. It is useful for office users setting up the device for the first time, reconnecting after a Windows upgrade, or troubleshooting problems with an existing installation.

Key Features

• Network printing: Enables printing to the WorkCentre 5855 through your office network when the printer is reachable and correctly configured.
• Print controls: Provides access to supported settings such as paper size, orientation, copy count, and two-sided printing.
• Device configuration: Helps Windows recognize available paper trays and finishing accessories, depending on the driver package and installed hardware.
• Windows-specific setup: Offers the software needed to configure printing on Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7 when a compatible package is available for your system.

How to Install Xerox WorkCentre 5855 Driver

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm your operating system and system architecture before choosing a package. For Windows 10/11, verify that the download explicitly supports your version rather than assuming an older installer will work.
2. Select a compatible download. When choosing a Xerox WorkCentre 5855 driver download for Windows, look for the latest version that supports both your operating system and the printer. Use a trusted, vendor-provided free download; avoid packages that require unrelated software.
3. Confirm network access. Make sure your computer can reach the printer on the office network. Have the printer’s IP address or network hostname ready if automatic discovery does not find it.
4. Install the driver. Run the downloaded installer and follow its prompts. If the package contains driver files without an installer, use Windows printer settings to add the printer and browse to the extracted files when prompted.
5. Check settings and test printing. Confirm the selected port, paper trays, and any installed accessories, then print a test page. If printing fails, check the network address and print queue before reinstalling.

Keep your driver updated to benefit from applicable fixes and compatibility improvements. Before an update, review the package’s supported systems and installation notes, especially on Windows 8 or 7, where newer releases may no longer apply. A compatible, stable driver is more useful than simply choosing the newest download.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Disconnect the USB cable, remove any existing Xerox print queue in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners, then run the WorkCentre 5855 driver installer as administrator. If using Xerox Smart Start, allow it through Windows Defender/antivirus prompts.
• Device not detected: Confirm the WorkCentre 5855 is on the same network/subnet and reachable by its IP address. For USB, try a different port/cable and avoid hubs. Add the printer manually using the TCP/IP address if automatic discovery fails.
• Version/driver conflicts: Remove older Xerox WorkCentre 58xx or generic PostScript drivers before installing. Match the driver to Windows version/architecture (x64) and choose the Xerox PCL6/PostScript driver recommended for the 5855. Restart the print spooler after removal.
