Prior to upgrading to mountain lion everything was perfect (Macbook pro) Upgraded to ML and now no microsoft office for mac 2011 software (word, excel, ppt, outlook etc) will print to my Xerox phaser 8560. All apple programs print fine. Merely selecting print causes the Ms program to crash (see log below). Other printers are fine (for instsnce my home HP inkjet is fine). I also run VMware fusion and can print to the xerox via that. Apple has been as helpul as it can but concluded that the issue is not thiers (I have updated all drivers, removed and reinstalled both mountain lion and office for mac as well as the printer software several times, reset the print system etc etc) The error log details (from a crash in word) are:

Microsoft commuinty has answered it is a Xerox probelm, given the crash log. I called Xerox - they told me my printer is out of warranty. I adivsed it wasnt a hardware problem but a software problem. Xerox want to bill me to fix it, but they tell me it will be a quotation for a hardware problem, otherwise it isn't thier problem......
Can anyone please, please help?
With thanks
