Canon MF4350d printer won't print on 10.6.7

Hi,
I realize this particular printer has been addressed before. But I looked up all its discussion to no avail and I called Canon about it as well. I downloaded all its new drivers from the Canon USA website. I got my laptop to read it but when I try to print a test page it tells me that it cannot communicate with the printer, even after I reinstalled the drivers.
Can someone help?

I doubt that Canon will ever change the UFR2 driver's ability to print via a Windows share. This has been a limitation for 5+ years and with all the versions they have released, none of them work this way.
There is however a workaround, as per this blog.

Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go.

I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

Hi Pebbles2313,
It sounds like you have an issue with your printer software. You may find some of the software necessary to run your printer through the following link:

Try downloading the driver directly from Canon's web site.

After upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print

after upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print. It's a canon MP540 on a wireless network. It will print a test page but won't print from any application, just sits there with the message 'copying print data'!
Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), with firmware SMC Version (system): 1.73f63.
Any help gratefully received.

First off if you can print a test page there is absolutely no reason you wouldn't be able to print from a application...none. But stranger things have happened now that we have Lion. Within the application are you selecting the wireless printer........just had to check.
I have the MP620 which is simlar to your MP540 and have no problems printing from my MBA (June 2011). I too have the latest firmware and software......without problems printing.
A few things I'd try would be to remove the wireless printer from your computer (in Preferences, printers), restart, and repair permissions. Then add the wireless printer back, and see if it works. If not.....power OFF the printer and turn back on.
If the above fails reinstall the printer driver (yours) I think you will have to plug in the USB cable.
Keep me updated and I'll tyr and help!

I have a new Canon MX432 printer the ipad recognizes it but it won't print. Any advice?

Patti-
Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers? See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue. Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

OSX 10.5.8 won't recognize Canon iP2702 printer

I just used the installation disc that came with my Canon iP2702 printer to install it on my Macbook w/10.5.8.    Canon says that the printer is compatible with Leopard in all of its literature.
I installed the driver that is on the disc, with the complete installation package. I followed the installation instructions to the letter.    The printer was not listed when I tried to print a document.
Then I went on Canon's site and downloaded the latest version of the driver. I installed it, but still the printer was not listed when I tried to print.   Nor was it listed when I tried to add a printer.
I rebooted the computer after the driver installation.   Still nothing.
Am I missing something?
Any tips greatly appreciated.

Canon Pixma 8120 won't print after new hard drive + TC install

I have a great Pixma 8120 which was previously successfully networked wirelessly to an intel imac SL 10.6.8 and
a Macbook Pro running Lion. Our internet connection is Fios via router and the imac had been connected via
ethernet to the Fios router.
Last week, the imac's hard drive needed to be replaced - Apple Geniuses
installed the new hard drive at the apple store and restored all of the data. I bought a new Time Capsule
and backed up the new hard drive as soon as I got it home (yes I got religion).
I now have the TC connected via ethernet
to the router and set up a new network -- connected both the imac and the macbook via airport no problem. Nice
fast internet (safari).
The problem is the Canon printer. I configured the printer to recognize the new network over the TC and was able to
connect it via wi-fi to the access point. When printing however, the printer icon pops up in the dock and looks like its starting
to process the job but then the job disappears fromt the print queue screen. poof. nothing.
I suspect I may have a problem with the TC's security settings not being compatible with the canon - the canon manual does say something about the canon not supporting "enterprise" and I did see that in the TC settings.
I have a huge work project due tomorrow so I decided to forego the wireless thing for now and just hook the printer up
via USB to the imac. I reinstalled the Canon software following the all directions for when to plug in the USB in the process.
It didn't work. Then I went to the Canon support page and downloaded/installed an updated driver. Now I have
a nice new looking printer icon but when I try to print it starts and then gives me a "communication error has occured"
message -- error 306.
Does anyone have advice for me?

Never mind. I realized that I needed to ethernet the imac to the TC.
I just got the Canon to print. Sorry to bother.

MAC OS X YOSEMITE WON'T RECOGNIZE MY CANON IP90 PRINTER AFTER SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION

I HAVE AN 8 YR OLD CANON IP90 PRINTER WHICH I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED ON MAC BOOK PRO OSX YOSEMITE 10.10.2.
I'VE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO ADD THIS PRINTER BUT IT IS NEVER RECOGNIZED AND SO I'M UNABLE TO PRINT ANYTHING. CAN ANYONE GUIDE ME TO GET THIS SET UP AND PRINT?

According to the Canon website, the Yosemite driver for your printer is included with the OS.

Canon MP780 printer won't work on Lion

I've recently upgraded my Mac to one running Lion 10.7.2.
My Canon PIXMA MP780 no longer works. The icon is sitting in the dock with a no-entry sign through it.
I've downloaded new software and drivers for it, restarted, deleted and re-added the printer via System Preferences, and am really not sure what to do next...
Have emailed Canon who can take up to 5 days to respond. I'd like to do some printing before that if I possibly can.
One thing I wasn't able to do that Apple recommend here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147 is to reset the printing system. The dialogue box they refer to doesn't contain the 'reset printing system' option they refer to here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
Would be most grateful if anyone has experience of this or knows of a fix.
Many thanks!

I have the same problem! I upgraded software and the Canon MX780 printer just went away. Print & scan has the Canon MX870 series put only the scan options. However, I can still print from a networked laptop. Just like I always could. Thinking of importing the laptop DMG and trying to install it. Canon site has only a scanner driver.
Apple support site tells me that Canon printer driver for MX870 is"
Canon MX870 series
10.51.2.0

Like I said I can print from a networked laptop.

Installed Yosemite - Canon MF8300C printer won't print or scan to the MAC.

I recently installed the Yosemite and now my Canon MF8300C printer will not print or scan.
Printing - I get an error message: Stopped - 'Filter' Failed X pages
Scanning - I get the device to show up but when I select Open Scanner nothing happens.
I have had this printer on Mac Mini for 2 years now. I did not know it at the time but this printer and MAC have always had handshake issues. I often have to turn it off and back on to get the wi-fi address to be recognized, or have to re-install the drivers, even though I have downloaded directly from Canon. This is a top notch home office printer why have the drivers not been made compatible by now?
I can print fine to my trust old Samsung ML-1650 but that does not solve my color or scanning needs that worked up until I installed Yosemite. What gives?

With regards to printing, you need to have installed the MF v10.4.0 driver that supports Yosemite. If you have installed this driver and you still get the Filter failed error, then I suggest you remove the MF from Printers & Scanners and then open Finder and select Go > Go to folder. Then enter /Library/Printers/Canon and press the Go button, With the Canon folder open you will see a folder called CUPS_MF_Printer. Trash this folder and then empty the Trash. Restart the Mac and run the MF v10.4.0 driver installer again and add the printer. Now see if it prints without error.
As for the Scanner, while in the Canon folder you should also see an entry called MFScanner. Trash this folder if present then run the ScanGear v2.3.0 installer for Yosemite. Now see if you can scan, making sure that you do have the Scan button selected on the MF and set to Remote Scanner.

I have a MacBook Air (10.8.2) connected to Canon MP530 printer. I'm unable to scan documents as MP Navigator is not supported. Any ideas on how to scan using this printer.

I have a MacBook Air (10.8.2) connected to a Canon MP530 printer. I am unable to scan documents as it appears my Mac does not support MP Navigator. Any ideas? I have made an inquiry to Canon but have not received any answers yet.

Why do you say your MBA won't support it? MP Navigator for OS X 8 and the MP530 is available here.

My Image CLASS MF4350d printer is not recognized by windows 8-64 bit

My Image CLASS MF4350d printer is not recognized by windows 8-64 bit any help how can i fix the problem. I just bought new HP computer from Future shop and it came with Windows in it. but this windows8 doesnt have drivers for my printer Image Class MF 4350d. Now I hve no clue how can i fix this isue. Because I checked on Canon website for drivers and downloaded and run the drivers, but no solution for my printer at all.

Yes. I have the latest version intalled but this hasnt helped.
I thought it could be to do with the Shuffle not having enough of a battery charge.
So i plugged it into the wall charger and then tried this didnt work either.
It wont even play music for some reason. The only information I get in the earpiece when I turn it on is what the battery level is at.

Is it possible to have an HP and Canon wireless printer on the same wireless home network?

I presently have a Canon MP560 printer on my wireless home network. I do not have this printer installed on my computer. I purchased an HP 3520e-All-In-One hoping I could have both on my home network. My os is Windows 7 64bit. I tried to install the HP 3520e, and received the following error message - "Your printer failed to join the wireless network", and said the issue was that MAC address filtering may be enabled on my computer, which it is not. It is disabled. Question: Is there a workaround to have two wireless printers on the same network, and if so, what is it? Thank you so much for your help.

Hi,
I actually have 3 printers from 3 vendors on my home network. I have tested using MAC filter and w/o MAC filter, no problem at all. The MAC filter should be on the router, not from your computer. Have you checked that ? My suggestion: use a computer on the network to connect the printer using USB cable then setup from there. The printer will use EXISTING setup from your computer and you won't need to enter security key.
Regards.
BH

Just upgraded my MacBookPro to OSX Mountain Lion. Now unable to reinstall Capt.Installer driver for my Canon LBP3010 printer. Same installer was used in previous OS

Just upgraded my MacBookPro to OSX Mountain Lion. Now unable to reinstall Capt.Installer driver for my Canon LBP3010 printer. Same Capt.Installer was used in previous OS.
Got message that the software was not obtained from Apple or trusted source.
Anyone can help solve this issue, do not wish to purcahse new printer, and Apple does not appear to be friendly to me

Apple is still friendly, only became more protective - for your very best. Right-click on the installer, then "Open", and then you get a window offering you the option to run it. That's a ML feature. Again, for your protection.
Independently, and as not only with Apple, a new OS X is sometimes different, and ML is that bit "pickier" with fully compatible software. So, even if your driver ran under Lion, it can be that it won't under ML. In that case please check Canon's website if they have a newer ML-compatible version, If not, also go and blame Canon. It's their responsibility to provide up-to-date drivers, not Apple's.
Good luck.
