Canon iPF drivers and LR3
As you know Canon lists applications that use Apple's new printing path in a special cases file so that when choosing application manages color No Color Correction is selected.
I have now add LR3 to this file. This also includes PSCS5 and still includes the LR3B2.
http://www.dypinc.com/Canon/AppColorMatchingInfo.xml
The file goes here.

Make sure you save the original in case you want to go back to it.

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))

4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try againHi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

I have just been having problems with my Canon MP250 printer and decided to uninstall and re-install the printer and everytime I try to re-install the printer trough preferences and all I keep getting was a message saying "preparing to queue"...... I then decided to try and reload the Canon printer drivers and for some silly reason I deleted the existing Canon printer drive. Now I cannot load them from the CD provided with the printer or from downloads through the Apple store. If anyone out there could help me I would be greatly appreciated......
These Canon printer/scanner drivers from Apple - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899 - should work. The MP250 is listed on the support page. Try downloading and installing them.
Good luck,

Scanners with minimal/simple drivers and software for iMac/Lion
Just been told that my old Canoscan 8400F color flatbed scanner will not work with my new Lion installation.
Don't mind too much since I always hated the convoluted and error-prone (system-changing?) Canon scanner drivers and toolbox software.
Which Lion/iMac-friendly color flatbed hardware (for simple image, document, and perhaps OCR) systems would anyone here recommend, please, which also has minimal system installation - that is, where the driver is a single file that can be uninstalled etc?
Thanks!Brother drivers are included in OS X so you won't (shouldn't) have any trouble setting it up.
Image Capture works a charm, but I only scan occasionally for sharing the odd file - no complaints.
I used to work in graphics for a living so I also have VueScan, although I can't remember the last time I had to use it.
No problem scanning books, although I sometimes have to apply a bit of gentle pressure if it won't lay flat.
As I said before, very happy with my Brother (haven't got any sisters ) - and a couple of friends/neighbours with Macs seem happy with their's (after I suggested they get one - honest, I don't work for them ).
Also, if you want to use it via wifi it was a breeze to set up compared to the Lexmark and HPs I've helped people with.
If you do get one and once it's installed it's worth doing software update as SU doesn't seem to offer any driver updates if it thinks you haven't got a Brother (or any other make for that matter) unless it sees one on your network. -

Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!
in response to Johannes666

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked. However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.
I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column. Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan. You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.
Good luck. -
I have down loaded printer,scanner drivers and 2 applications Navigator and Network from Canon's website. I cannot seem to get these to run althought the printer works when connected to the Mac with a LAN cable Canon's documentation is useless because it relies on downloading a disc which you cannot do without a CD drive that MacBook Air does not have. Any suggestions appreciated.
Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks

How can I convert MiniDV tapes to DVD? I've use a Canon GL 2 and an iMac about 1 year old. I'm trying to use iMovie and I've installed the latest drivers.
MiniDV was a great format, one I still use often. I also still use iMovie HD6 to process it and, for all the iterations of iMovie that followed it, I still believe it was one of Apple's greatest movie software programmes, next to Final Cut Pro, using a timeline method of editing. That was also in the day which Apple put Superdrives into their computers, so that you could not only make your movie in iMovie, but you could render it to iDVD and then burn the DVD. Now you need to buy an external burner.
Since iMovie HD6 and iDVD 6 were "universal" software, it has continued to work through the many OS releases since it came out with Tiger, I believe it was. So, it may still work with Mavericks too and, if you could locate a copy of iLife 06, probably used, you might enjoy the difference that HD6 has over all iMovie releases since then.
Not saying you can't process your MiniDV with current iMovie versions, but I'm not the one to speak about that. -
Snow Leopard and Canon Printer Drivers - significant unhelpful change
Is there any work around for the following? I have a new mac book pro
with snow leopard. Which means I downloaded the new Canon driver for
Pixma 9500. And am now using Lightroom 3 rather than 2.
An option that used to exist no longer exists. It used to be when I
chose a paper profile (say Canon Premium Paper Pro) I could still
manage color options in the driver. I could adjust slightly the reds
or if it were black and white I could change the tone (warm tone/cool
tone). Now, which I chose a paper profile, those options are "blanked out." I
can't use them. Is this because of Snow Leopards CUPS functionality rather than the IJ.
Given how many variables there are with printing and getting the right
image, I really wish I had the option of adjusting my printer output even when I'm using a paper profile.
The options exist if I let the printer manage the colors (as opposed to
using the profiles) but the image is much farther off to begin with and
requires much more experimenting. I have not reloaded Elements 6 and Canon Easy Print Pro. I wonder if it will let me fiddle with color options? Or Elements 9 with an updated Canon Easy Print Pro.
I'm disappointed that I've lost this option by upgrading my hardware and software. I'd be grateful for any advice or feedback.I don't have Lightroom to confirm this but maybe the application is contributing to your issue.
Looking at the menus of the v10.36.2.0 driver, which is the latest version of the Canon driver you would be using with the Pro 9500, there is the Quality & Media menu and the Color Options menu. Through the Q&M menu you can select the Canon paper types and then via the Color Options menu you can adjust the colors.
But if you open the Color Matching menu and change the setting from Canon Color Matching to ColorSync and then select a paper type you then find that the sliders in Color Options are not available. Maybe Lightroom is set to use ColorSync and thus the adjustment in the Color Options menu is not available for you. -
9.4.3 - Can't print my PDFs to a Canon IPF 8000s
Hi Everyone!
I would appreciate any advice regarding the above.
For the last two years, I have been able to create work in In-Design CS4 then export it via Acrobat Pro into a PDF and print successfully to a Canon IPF 8000s.
I have updated the various drivers, adobe software over this time and all has been well in my camp.
Just two weeks ago, the printhead on the Canon was changed....and since my printed posters are missing lettering, etc.
I've been chatting with the Canon guys and we've eliminated the printer as a problem.
The problem lies with Acrobat Pro 9.4.3
Is anyone having a similar problem with 9.4.3?

Canon has today released an update for their iPF (large format) printers. The update is to resolve text not printing after installing 10.6.7.
In testing to our Canon iPF8300 I found that the recent Font update was not required but I would still recommend this is installed if you have issues with text not printing. I was also able to print with the Fast Graphic Process enabled. A previous workaround prior to the release of the update was to disable this setting, located in Main menu, Advanced Settings.
Here is a link to the Canon iPF Driver UpdateHave you tried installing / using the driver for OS X 10.8 on 10.9? I've seen many cases where drivers for older versions of OS X will still install and operate on 10.9.

Canon iR C5185i and Lion - Dept ID Management
I've been doing a lot of digging around and I can't find too much relating to Lion, but if this question has been answered for the most recent version of OSX then I would greatly appreciate a link. Most of the answers I find are for Snow Leopard and applying the same tricks just don't seem to work. I've got a Macbook Pro with all software updates.
We have a Canon ImageRunner C5185i here in our office. We have Department ID Management enabled for color printing. I've tried every available combination of drivers from Canon's site and I just can't seem to get our department ID's to pass through to the printer, even though I've stored them in the printer settings.
Most of the time, if I can even get the print job to make it to the printer, the status says "On hold (Authentication required)". Even if I get into the printer settings and enter my department ID, it won't let me verify the ID against the copier. It almost always fails. I've enabled the "Job Accounting" in the driver settings and put my department ID in the driver utility. My current status, which is the closest to success I've gotten, is that the job makes it to the printer and simply says "Printer is in use. Waiting for the print job to finish." There are no other print jobs in memory on the device. I'm using the Canon iR C5185 UFR II (US) driver at this time and it seems to get me closer than any other driver from Canon.
I was hoping that someone could walk me through finding what drivers I'd need and any tips for making sure my department ID passes through to the device for authentication. I'm fully capable of following the most technical directions you have, but explain it to me like I'm 5 to make sure I don't miss anything.MConcar wrote:
I probably should have mentioned that this device is primarily shared out on our Windows server, but I've also tried printing to IP. Ideally, we would like to use the Windows queue, but I'll take what I can get.
If you want to use Dept ID from the Mac then you won't be able to print via the Windows server. To support Dept ID the Mac driver needs bidirectional communication with the printer, and it does not get this when printing via a Windows queue - even if you enable LPD. Also, with printing via Windows, your Mac should use the Canon PPD due to issues with the PS and UFR2 drivers via shared queues and the PPD does not support Dept ID''s.
I disabled Department ID Management and got the following results:
Print to IP with UFR driver - "Printer in user. Waiting for the print job to finish". (Printer was not in use at the time)
Print to IP with PS driver - Job hangs in queue (Job sent to printer 100%)
Print to IP with PPD - Job hangs in queue ("The printer is busy")
With the PS and UFR2 drivers failing, it would suggest that the LPR in the iR C5185 is turned off, as this is the default protocol both of these drivers use - regardless of what IP protocol you select when adding the queue. As for the PPD, this will use whatever IP protocol you select. So if you did select LPD then this would confirm the matter.
So using the Remote UI (that's the name of the internal web page of the copier) you can select Additional Functions > Custom Settings > Network Settings > TCP/IP and check that LPD is enabled. Note that the path I just wrote could be missing a parameter - I just typed it from memory.
Print to Windows share with UFR driver - "The printed output may be incorrect because the printer information has not been acquired. Start Printer Utility to get the printer information"
-An error occurred.: -50
-Starting Printer Utility does not gather printer information
Print to Windows share with PS driver - Job sent to printer, error NG #853
Print to Windows share with PPD - 21 pages printed out, mostly blank, first page has error ""%!PS-Adobe-3.0, %APL_DSC_Encoding: UTF8, %APLProducer: (Version 10.7.4 (Build 11E53)
For the first two, not surprised with those results because as mentioned above, the UFR2 and PS drivers don't work that well - or at all - when configured to print via a Windows print queue. They must be configured on the Mac to print directly to the imageRUNNER.
The last one is a concern, because it would normally be a sign that the printer does not support Postscript. Do you know which printer driver the Windows computers are using? If they are using the UFR2 driver then maybe your iR C5185 does not have Postscript, which will stop you using the PS and PPD on the Mac. If no one is sure what printer language the iR C5185 supports you can check via the Remote UI. Again via Additional Functions > Custom Settings you should see Printer Settings. And under this heading will be the printer languages supported. If you see UFR2 and maybe PCL (which Windows could also be using) but no PS then this will limit you to using the UFR2 driver on the Mac.
MConcar wrote:
Would this work better if we were to access the server through OSX Server? Right now, our Macbooks are bound to our Windows domain.
No. Like Windows server, OS X server does not support Dept ID for clients either. And until you determine what protocol the iR C5185 supports, the server queue will give the same errors as you got on the Mac client.
So in summary, three things to check;
Does the iR C5185 support Postscript (PS)
Is the LPR protocol enabled in the TCP/IP settings
Which printer driver are the Windows computers using
