Can't print on Canon printer since 10.8.2

We have a Canon i-SENSYS LBP 5050n printer. When I upgraded my MB Pro to Mountain Lion, I could not print anymore, until we found a printer driver at Canon Australia's web site, version 3.55. Updating to 10.8.2 again leaves me without the chance to print: the document stays in the printer queue forever: for a while it looks like it migh porint, then it goes into pause mode. Resuming does not help either.
Where can I find a printer driver that allows me to print again, or what else can I do?
Thanks for your help,
Wladimir

Thanks a lot, Pahu, for your help. I just read the other postings, which seem to cover exactl the same problem as I have. I did check for similar threads before posting my question, but obviously I have missed that oen; sorry.
The CAPT backgrounder is running, then entry in System Information > Printers > Canon LBP 5050n > URI is cnbma://localhost:59687 and still it is not working.
Here are the contents of my ccpd.conf file:
# Canon Printer Daemon for CUPS Configuration Data
<Path>
# CUPS configuration files Path
# Default /
CUPS_ConfigPath /
# LOG Directory Path
#LogDirectoryPath /var/log/CCPD/
</Path>
# Printer entries
# Mapping each "Printer-Name" to "Printer Device Port".
# The "Printer-Name" has to be identical to the CUPS printer queue name.
# For example, if you prepare a printer named "XXXX" as a CUPS printer
# queue name, and the printer is connected to the USB port "/dev/usb/lp0",
# you can use the following three lines example just by removing the
# comment symbol "#" of each line.
#<Printer XXXX>
#DevicePath /dev/usb/lp0
#</Printer>
<Ports>
# socket port
UI_Port 59787
# backend data port
PDATA_Port 59687
</Ports>
Some additiona information: the poster of the question in the other thread you informed me about, 6andalf, write that ever since updating to Mountain Lion he cannot print. The same happened to me, until I found CAPT 355 on Canon Australia's web site, as mentioned. When I updated to 10.8.1 I could still print, until I installed 10.8.2.

Can't set up Canon printer

I have failed to install a Canon IP4600 on a macbook with Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
I downloaded a driver from the Canon site, apparently successfully, but can't find the printer. To print anything I have to send the file to my PC and print from there.
Help please

The Mac will not recognize the printer before you connect it. When you install the printer drivers, they are placed in a core folder in the Mac. They don't create a printer entry in the System Preferences > Print & Fax pane until you either physically connect the printer to the Mac or manually add the print queue.
So, if you connect the printer to the Mac and open Print & Fax, you should have an entry for the printer in the list. Note that this can take a few seconds to appear. If it doesn't appear after a few seconds, then you can click the + button to add the printer and then click the Default icon (usually the Default view opens first but if the IP view is displayed you will need to click the Default icon). With the Default view of Add Printer showing, the Canon should appear in this list if the printer and the USB cable connecting them are okay. If the printer does not appear in this Default view, then the USB cable is typically the cause if there is no other device between the printer and the Mac.

Pavilion s-1217 can not find wireless Canon printer

I have an HP printer but I can not afford to feed it, due to the tri-color cartilages.
I bought a Canon wireless printer and my 2 other HP computers can see it and use it. My Pavilion s-1217 can not see it.
My printer has been checked by Canon and my Router has been checked and upgraded by Belkin. Both are working fine.
I have called HP several times about this computer. The last time, the tech downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor but it also can not see this printer.
Canon suggested that this computer may not be able to use IPv4.
This question was solved.

I did get help that solved my problem but @

A free forum where computer geeks help those who aren’t. Here is the exchange:
I bought a Canon wireless printer and my 2 other HP computers can see it and use it. My Pavilion s-1217 can not see it.
My printer has been checked by Canon and my Router has been checked and upgraded by Belkin. Both are working fine.
I have called HP several times about this computer. The last time, your tech downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor software but it can not see this printer.
Canon suggested that the computer may not be able to use IPv4.
AWS: “I think maybe the tech meant it can't use IPV6 as IPV4 is the standard. If your computer couldn't use IPV4 then you wouldn't be able to use the internet at all “
No, the Canon tech stated that this printer uses IPv4. The IPv4 address, according to the print out of the printer's Network Configuration Page is 192.168.2.4. No IPv6 address is listed. The Belkin tech stated that IPv4 is "almost obsolete" and the firmware upgrade he installed had an update to the IPv6 capabilities but no change in IPv4. All three devices are under warrantee and the both the Canon tech and several HP techs have taken remote control of this computer and installed the latest Canon drivers from the Canon website. HP says it is a software problem and that there is nothing wrong with the computer so they will not allow it to be returned. Belkin (one HP tech blamed the Belkin N750 router) and Canon techs say their equipment is working properly and, indeed it does from the two other HP computers we have.
Cindy E: To reset IPv4 “Select Control Panel > Select Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings.
“Right-click on the Ethernet connection you want to modify > Select Properties > Double click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > These are your IP address settings. When you are finished, select OK and in the last window click OK again.”
That did it the printer is working fine now

Restart your printer and your WiFi router by removing power to them for 30 seconds.
Also make sure that the firmware in your printer is the latest from the manufacturer.

Printing to Canon Printer IR c2880 - Problem

Printer appears to be online and functioning (IP address works fine and html access shows the printer operational)
attempted to connect via printer setup (sees the printer, added the printer using the IPP, selected the Canon driver v4.0 for the printer
looks like I can see all the functionality for the printer, but it never prints. Just goes into "PAUSE" mode every time.
It's 2013 and I really don't want to delve into the bowels of print driver diagnostics. What options / solutions can folks offer ?
thanks
SH-Admin

Yep...tried several settings. I don't see any error messages. I still get the same response when trying to send to the printer. All print jobs go into pause mode on the computer. Never seems to make it into the print queue on the printer. Worked with dozens of printers in other organizations. Not seen this one before.
where can I find diagnostics to figure this out (all the config tools from Canon are built for Windows...nc)
thanks

Can no longer print to Canon printer connected to Airport Extreme

My Canon MP830 is connected to my Airport Extreme. Bonjour on my Windows 7 Acer laptop sees and installs the printer. I have been printing to the MP830 successfully from wired and wireless computers on my network this way for around a year. Today, I can no longer print to the MP830 unless I connect it directly to a USB port on my Acer. Bonjour can still see and install the MP830 when it's connected to the Airport Extreme, but I can't print to the MP830.
Any ideas?

Sounds a bit like a problem being discussed in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2651093&tstart=0
I suspect some kind of update is at fault. Like you, my printer/base station setup had been working fine until recently.

Margin problem when printing with canon printer

When I try to print a pages document on my canon pixma ip4500 printer (which they sold me at the apple store when i bought the laptop), the bottom margin does not appear. There is a space only about half an inch under the last line of text. Everything looks fine on the screen, but i cant get to print it with a bottom margin. and i don't even know how to set it manually...
ps, the printer isnt set for a 8 1/2 by 14 sheet, it really is for a 8 1/2 by 11
Help me please!

That’s going to depend on what the document consists of. If it’s a single element such as a graphic or PDF, reduce the size. If it’s text, you can use a smaller point size, slightly reduce paragraph spacing, make a headline smaller, etc. If it’s text and graphic, reduce the size of the graphic(s) a little. But first, set your document margins to agree with your printer margins.

Printing with Canon printer, colors do not match at all... Help

Hello there, I have a Canon pixma 4300, every time I print somthing with a logo or a picture on it, the colors do not match.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Is there a new driver or a solution to this problem, this, seems to me, is really abnormal.

This is a common problem, and it is very hard to get a complete colour match, between any printer and the screen, due to the differing nature of the way both create their colours.
First off, you should check that your printer is properly calibrated with the correct ICC profile, and make sure your screen is also calibrated. Fur more info on this there is a PDF which explains it in more detail (Written for Tiger, but the principles are the same with Leopard.
http://images.apple.com/pro/pdf/ColorMgmtinTiger.pdf
sRGB would be a good starting point, as most printers can handle this profile. Also, you did not mention how different the colours were? If for example yellow is printing an off yellow/brown or yellow/green, then it is definately the colour profile, if it is printing yellow as red, well then that is something else entirely.
Hope this helps, as chances are, the printer is not faulty, it just isnt set up right. Also, your images stand a better chance of printing correctly if they are created in the CMYK colourspace, not RGB. Especially true of logos.

TA25225 Problems printing on Canon Printer

I recently purchased a Canon Pixma mg2120 printer to use with my iMac. The printer works fine in copy mode, but when i try to print, I get a message "printer not connected" when it is connected. Also, I have not been able to scan anything. When I try to scan it's like the computer does not even see the scanner. I am using a usb cable. Should I be using another type of cable?

Go to > Canon U.S.A / PIXMA MG2120, select the OS X that you are running and try that driver.

Canon print program Easy PhotoPrint

Can I use the Canon print program Easy PhotoPrint with my HP Photosmart 6525 printer? If yes how do I
set up the printer?

I can't find the real cause there, but bsd_qsort crashes seem to be with incompatible other SW mainly.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Can i use a canon like 30 scanner with yosemite ?

can i use a canon lide 30 scanner with yosemite ? i cannot load any drivers

MissBea,
You can probably use your Canon printer with your HP notebook.
When connecting an HP printer to the computer, the printer works best when the printer software for that printer is downloaded and installed on the computer.
I would suggest that you need to do the same for the cannon printer, that is, you should download and install the driver (software) onto the computer. After you install the driver, and connect the printer using whatever means you have (wireless, USB, Ethernet), you should be able to control the printer from the computer.
Instead of installing HP printer software, you will need to install the printer software for your cannon printer.
