Canon MF8050cn won't print with Lion ?

Hi anyone,
I'm pulling my hair trying to get this new printer working with my Mother's new iMac and have failed for the past 6-weeks!
I have followed all sorts of suggestions found here and elsewhere - and none of which have worked!
The printer is connected directly to the USB port and I'm simply trying to add it using the Canon UFR II LT v2.3 driver but it never communicates with printer.
Seems like there is a fundamental incompatibilty between this printer and Lion?
any suggestions, I haven't resorted to a firmware update yet, but maybe I should be looking at this too?
This has been a horrible time wasting experience for both her and me.

One of the problems I have encountered with the UFR2 driver is that it relies heavily on a background service and if this fails to run it will cause printer issues. So the first thing to check is that this "UFR II Backgrounder" service is running on the iMac. Open Activity Monitor and scroll down the list. Do you see this service?
Also, I cannot tell from your post if you have managed to add the printer and that the issue is that it won't print, or you have not been able to add the printer. If you have been able to add the printer but cannot print, then open System Information and select the Printers entry listed under Hardware. In the top right pane will be the installed printers and if you select the MF8050, the bottom right pane will show information about the print queue. Can you copy this information and post it back here please.

    Microsoft Office. Epson Scan, Canon software won't work with Lion OS

    Microsoft office 2008 and later work fine on Lion. Office 2004 is a PowerPC application. PPC apps are no longer supported and Lion does not include Rosetta, which was required to run them on OS X. I imagine the Epson / Canon software you are trying to use is the same. Check with them to see if updates are available.

  • My Canon D550 won't print to Lion, but it will print to Snow Leapord

    I just purchased a Canon ImageClass D550 Scanner/Printer. It works fine with my macbook 10.6; it scans and prints. But it only scans to my macbook pro 10.7.2, it doesn't print.
    I called Canon Tech Support. They stated that because it works fine with 10.6, the printer works and it's probably an issue with Lion 10.7.
    The printer does appear on the PRINT & SCAN, under System Preferences; and it appears connected under System Monitor.

    Thanks for the advice. I followed your instructions, but when I try deleting the file under step 4, I couldn't find the file under Launch Agents.
    I installed the driver and reconnected the USB but it doesn't print. What do you recommend?

  • Canon i550 won't print with MacBook and Airport Extreme

    Since we got a new MacBook, we upgraded our Airport Express (b/g) to Airport Extreme (n). Needed tech support from Apple to get the computers on the internet (something about the cable company switching IP addresses), which worked great, but since then the only problem is that I can't print wirelessly from the new MacBook to our Canon i550 printer, which is hooked up by USB to the Airport Extreme. (Ironically, when the internet wasn't working through the Airport Extreme, the one thing that DID work was printing wirelessly.) The other computer, a 2007 MacBook Pro, prints wirelessly with no problems, but I see that under "location" in the print utility it still has "Express" listed (on the MacBook I get the new network name, "Airport Extreme"). I've tried reselecting the printer in Bonjour, reselecting it in AirPort Utility under Printers, turning printer on and off, but no matter what, in the printer status box it just says "Connecting", and never actually prints. I just upgraded to 10.5.6 which still didn't help. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

    Welcome to the discussions, Brian!
    Please work your way through the Apple Troubleshooting Guide to see if your HP might be compatible with the AirPort Express.
    Keep in mind that if your device is compatible, only printing is supported at the USB port on the AirPort Express. So, if you need to scan, copy, fax or check ink levels, etc., you will need to hook the device directly to your computer.

  • Canon ip6600D Won't Print

    Brand new Canon ip6600D won't print through iPhoto, specifically print job tries to print but after approx. 10 seconds of trying it defaults to "job stopped." Prints fine through Web browser and all other apps. Are there hidden iPhoto printing prefs somewhere that can be deleted? Previously had a Canon i990 printer and never had a problem with it. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Aaron:
    All I can think of is to remove the Canon print drivers and then reinstall them. You might go to Canon's site to see if there is a newer driver than what you've got. Also run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions. You might try that first.
    If neither help I would run OnyX and clean out both the user and system caches. Your first restart afterward will be slower but will get back to normal on subsequent restarts.

  • My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC??

    My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC?? Checked for software updates and are none. Talked with HP help and they say it's an Apple problem

    I noticed that you said you uninstalled the printer, but you didn't mention resetting the print system.  Resetting the print system will reset the drivers the Mac has installed and make them work like they should.  Give this a try and see if it gets the printer working like it should.  The document below will expalin more about doing this.
    Basic Printer Troubleshooting Steps for Mac
    If that doesn't help, see if you are using the AirPrint driver, or the printers driver.  By default 10.8 uses the AirPrint driver if the printer supports it, so I'm betting that's the driver you're using.  If it is, try using the driver for the printer itself.  To do this, access Print and Scan.  Click the + sign to add a new printer.  Select the printer from the list.  Click the dropdown next to Use and select the 7515's driver.  Let me know what happens.

  • Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion.  Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

    Intuit's Quicken won't work with Lion.  Installed and am using Quicken Essentials but it's not as convenient.

    this has been an issue with Quicken for a long time! Quicken was initially a Mac only application and then they got greedy! i beta-tested Quicken for Intuit for years and when they announced they were not going to support it any more the screaming was loud but not heard!
    Quicken Essentials is a crime! i wasn't even asked to beta-test it; probably because they would have gotten an earful!!! it is not essential; it is stupid.... AND, of course, their online version was a disaster. i use Quickbooks Online for business and it works like a charm; i mean it even downloads ignominious PayPal transactions now!
    i am also stupid for not really checking out if it would work with Lion - ALL of my financials are on it. I am going to have to do what @cwiens suggested above and either pull out an old Macbook I have or my well stored original Cube in its original box! thank the fates for the double backup i've always done with Quicken - Time Machine & its own key drive!
    btw, this is an old Microsoft trick - not having older versions of apps work on OS updates so they force you to buy the new versions.

  • Macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

    macbook pro recognizes but won't print with hp desk jet 5550. Help!

    Hi, I used the Mac setup instructions, not the PC ones.  The printer was automatically recognised in print and scan when I connected it with a USB cable.  I accessed the server's web-based page and followed all the instructions, but still no joy.  Thanks for the tip about posting.  I have just posted in the section you suggested, so let's see what happens.  From a quick scan around the apple forums, lost of other people seem to having precisely the same problem (and not just with HP printers!), but unfortunately, no-one seems to be offering a solution!  And trying to get through to the apple online support is a complete waste of time.  They've been 'not available' for two days now.  Christmas/New Year shutdown, I suppose.  Thanks for all your help, though!

  • After I retouch a pic, it won't print with the retouches. It prints the original.  What am I doing wrong?

    After I retouch a pic, it won't print with the retouches.  It still prints the original pic.  What am I doing wrong?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • Canon iP8500 won't print OSX 10.6.3 apps

    My Canon iP8500 won't print OSX 10.6.3 apps, it causes them to crash. It crashes Safari, Mail, Text Edit. Other apps (Excel, Word) print fine. I've updates to the new driver (10.30.3.0) to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Try opening Disk Utility, selecting the OS X partition and then pressing Repair Disk Permissions.
    You could also try opening Print & Fax, moving your mouse over the Printers list, and while holding down the Control key, click your mouse. This will make the Reset printing system pop-up appear. Select this and restart your Mac. This action will delete your printer queues but not your printer driver. So you will just need to open Print & Fax again and add the iP8500.

  • Firefox won't print with my new HP P1102W printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer

    firefox 3.6.12 won't print with my new HP P1102W laser printer. The printer will print if I use IE8. Please advise settings tomake firefox print with my new printer . I spoke with HP tech support. We reinstalled all drivers. They adamantly say it is a Firefox issue and you should have some modifications for it.
    When I try to print from the internet using Firefox, a dialog box pops up which says "preparing to print." However, it hangs and I have to manually shut it down. Doing this terminates the Firefox session, and it will not restore upon restart. This printer will print files on my hard drive, and if I use IE8, which I do not want.
    Thanks

    It must be a Firefox problem, since it works perfectly in Chrome.

  • I recently install Lion OS on my iMac and just found out that my Canon 4400F scanner won't work with Lion, what can I do to get it working again?

    I am having trouble with some of my previously installed software before installing the New Lion OS. I just found this evening that my Canon 4400F Scanner will no longer work with the new OS. I need to know if there is a solution for this short of buying a new scanner? I am also upset that my Microsoft Office Professional will no longer boot as well. Anyone know why this took place?

    If it will not longer work due to Lion, it's most likely becasuse no drivers for Lion have been released.  No way to get aroud it other than going back to Snow Leopard.  MS Office wont work if it is '04 or earlier becasue it is a PPC application.  Mac switched from PPC to Intel in 2006 and created the Rosetta emulator to allow companies to make their software compatable or allow users to buy new software.  After 5 years, Rosetta support was dropped, with the release of Lion.  No way to get this software to work with Lion.

  • Canon mg6150 printer won't print with word on my macbook air

    Hi
    I have a Macbook air and my printer is a canon 6150.
    When I go to print it doesn't always print out properly when I am using word and adobe pdf files. It seems to print ok when I open documents in preview.
    I have been on the phone to canon and reinstalled the printer drivers and tested the printer by doing a colour copy and printing on my phone. Both of these work. As these work the cannon dude says its something to do with the setting in my computer rather than an issue with the printer.
    What do I do now?
    Thanks
