IP printing Canon ir C2550

I have a 2012 Macbook Pro running Lion.  I have installed all the updates Canon drivers from Canon.  I have also installed the Canon package from Apple.
If I connect via USB to my Macbook I can print from the Canon with no issues.  However, I cannot print wirelessly over the network. 
When I try to install the Canon copier as an IP printer using LPD or IP, inserting the ip address it says "valid and complete address".  However, when I go to "print using" and attempt to add the driver with "select print software" there is nothing in the pop up list. In fact the list is totally blank.  
When I try and find it using "other" I do not get the option to just select the driver only a Canon utility which doesn't help either. 
I've been working on this off and on for about 6 months.  At this point I've decided I'm either missing something simple or something is broken in the Canon copier.  Either way I'm starting to feel stupid.  Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Well unfortunately that is not the first time that I have heard of a managed switch causing a problem with a Canon device. We had a similar issue one time with a HP Procurve Core switch. The Canon would 'fall' off the network and would need a full power cycle to get it connected again. The Canon techs tried changing the speed and duplex setting, none of which helped. Then they added a Netgear un-switched hub in between the Canon and the HP switch and the problem appeared to be resolved. While this wasn't an ideal solution it was the only thing they could do for us at the time. Then several months later the switch died and we bought a new Cisco Catalyst switch. Out of curiosity I disconnected the hub and connected the Canon directly into the new switch and to this day we have not had the same issue...
So, for Q1, you may find that you will have to leave the router in between to stop the error. Or check with the vendor of the switch in case there is a firmware update available.
As for Q2, I don't see how you could get the driver to enable the Job Accounting setting but then get a communication error. The driver needs to communicate with the copier in order for the Job Accounting setting to be available in the Special Features menu. If you were to open the Special Features menu and then open the Printer Information window (by pressing Printer Info) and get information from the printer, but then still fail to print to the device then I cannot say why this would happen. However, I can say that when you do connect via Ethernet and manage to get the driver working, then this successful bidrectional communication with the printer would be enough to get the driver working from then on, regardless of the network medium used.

  • Canon UFR with Canon IR C2550

    My office has a canon IR C2550 and our tech support is fairly useless, hoping to get some help from you all.
    Does anyone have any idea what error code -170 would be for the canon UFR, i.e. no matter what driver I try I get "an error occurred: -170" anytime I try to print.
    The machine has job accounting, and I get prompted for the codes. I also seem to be seeing the machine since I can get stats (ink, etc.)

    Hi,
    We have the exact same problem with a few 10.6.2/3 machines and a Canon MF9170 using UFRII 2.06 driver. Out of 10 identical iMacs all built with the same image (but with different user accounts imported) 3 machines cannot print to this printer, giving "an error occurred: -170" immediately.
    We have contacted Apple and Canon, tried resetting the print system, updating the driver, adding, removing, rebooting, deleting /library/printers/canon, reinstalling etc. all to no avail. Unfortunately cannot find another driver that works for this printer either. We are not using job accounting on any machines.
    I've had multiple support calls with Canon to ask them what the error code -170 means, or any clue at all what might be causing it, but they just escalate the case and then close it.
    If you ever find a solution we'd love to know what it was! Perhaps buy a non-Canon printer instead...

  • I can't load the driver for a canon ir c2550.

    I can't load the driver for a canon ir c2550.  Installer gets to where it looks for the drive and never finds it.  Drive only has 18G of space left.  Help??
    I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro
    Thanks!!

    Thanks so much for your response
    I reset printer systems, and was only able to add Canon MG6200 series, either with Bonjour or Canon IJ Network, but cannot find the correct printer software for MG6250 (there is no option for any Canon MG printers) the only choice is Generic PostScript Printer.
    I have tried using this, but the print job is not going to the printer itself, it appears that it is, but then under the canon print box, it simply dissappears.

    At this point is the printer connected to the Mac via a USB cable?
    Do you think that I should attach the printer with the old usb cable from my previous printer and try that appears to defeat the purpose of having a wifi printer    Or will this simply allow the computer to find the printer and then I can remove the cable?  Thanks

  • How to connect my mac book pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f?

    I'm desperate to know how to connect my Mac book Pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f. This printer has an independent system, therefore, no need a PC to be on, in order to print. But this printer is a network printer. Help me please.

    The Canon UFR2 v2.20 driver for Mac OS X does not list the iR2010F as a supported model. The same is so for the Canon PS driver so I therefore believe this model is PCL5e only.
    What you should do is open Safari and type the IP address of the iR2010F. This will connect to the internal web page of the copier and from the provided pages you should be able to see what printer languages are supported.
    If it only lists PCL then you will be able to print to this copier using the Generic PCL driver included with 10.6.
    So if you open Print & Fax, click + to add and then select IP > LPD for the protocol you can then enter the IP address of the iR2010F and leave the queue name blank. For the name you can change that to iR1020F and for the Print Using, select Generic PCL Laser Printer.
    One note with regards to this driver. It is defaulted to 300dpi so you will need to open the print dialog when you do print and change the resolution to 600dpi to get better print quality.

    Thanks!!

    you can try resetting the network settings in settings or you can try doing a reset - hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release.  Then wait for the phone to boot back up.  You won't lose any data.

  • MacBook Pro won't detect network printer Canon MF4150

    I have a multifunction printer, Canon MF4150, hooked upto a PC Desktop and I have enabled printer sharing. The printer is detected and works fine on my PC Laptop. However, when I try installing it on my 13" MacBook Pro, the **** thing won't show up. It doesn't show up under the Windows category of Print and Fax so I tried to set it up the way Apple has suggested in their support section. It asks you to go to advance and input the IP address and location of the printer and then select the printer driver. I would post the link but I conveniently can't find it right now. The printer driver is obviously not listed on the list, so I go to the Canon website and download a mac version of the driver and install it. When I check to see if it's on the list now, it says MF4360-MF4390, but not MF4150. I thought I had installed the wrong one but I downloaded and installed it again, and I got the same problem. Anyone have this printer or have a similar problem? Another way to hookup this printer would be much more convenient, is there anyway that the Window tab could detect it? Any help is appreciated!

    The warranty must be close to running out. Take it ASAP to the Apple Store or AASP and have it checked.

  • How can i connect my printer canon pixma mg7150

    Hello,
    I don't find the good driver for my printer CANON PIXMA MG7150, and i use a usb cable.
    Is it good ?
    Thanks

    I have been setting up the same printer this week, with a USB cable  to my iMac. I have taken Mac printer drivers from the Canon site.   Here is a link that I used.
    http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/ InkJet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG7150.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:14-1 091005&os=OS%20X%20v10.9&language=EN
    Apple have notified that they have newly updated printer drivers for this printer, which you can download if you have the other drivers in place.
    Hope this helps.

  • Please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

    please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

    You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

    Canon does not provide the CAPT driver used by this model to Apple. So that is why you get the message that you must get it from the manufacturer (Canon).

  • Problem printing MAC-PC for a multifunction printer Canon i-SENSYS MF4018

    In my office, installed a network of Macbook 466 (Mac OS X 10.6.2) and PC (WinXP SP3). We bought a new multifunction printer Canon i-SENSYS MF4018(MF4010). By PC connected multifunctional printer MF4018 (model has only a USB port).
    On the PC works well. My MAC is the printer on the network, but at the beginning of printing an error: Canon UFR II Printer Driver An error occurred.: -50. Driver downloaded on the official web-site Canon - CANONUFRIIV2.00 EN.dmg.
    Please, help set up a complete operation of the printer in my office from the MAC.
    How to make it possible to print from MAC without any errors?

    Pahu and Eliask,
    I just purchased a canon isense mf4018 for our office. We have a mac mini os x 1.5.8 and a pc windows xp sp3. we are experiencing a printing problem from the mini. we aren't using a network. we just swap the usb cable between computers when printing is needed. The error that occurs is 'load correct paper MP tray: ltr; cancel: sys. monitor.' This looks like it only happens when we print from Word for Mac when printing more than one copy of the document. Excel printed multiple copies fine. If i go to sys monitor and print status, I find the word doc option to cancel or continue print. I choose yes to cancel and it prints another copy of the doc. the error still exists. I go through that routine until all copies have been printed. Scanning doesn't work. I downloaded this driver http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0036890.asp?model=
    Thanks for the help
