Canon printer problem since 4 months

OS & printer updates come and go, but my printing problem persists:
Before my Mac even tries to communicate with my Canon printer, I get an unspecified error message: "Error during printing". Immediately, right after hitting the print button. No matter if the printer is online or offline. In the split of a second.
Console log message:
Pages[565] Printing failed because PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog() returned -30870.
PS: There is already a long list of these errors:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog()returned-30870.&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Thanks a lot for a helpful hint!

Did you try resetting the printing system as suggested?
I haven't experienced the same problem as you, but it did fix the one problem I had with printing.
System Preferences -> Print & fax. Hold the Ctrl-key when you click on the list of printers, and select 'Reset Printing System' from the options. You'll need to reset your printer options after doing this.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Canon printer problem!!

Use Photoshop CS6 to edit and print (try to print) to a new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer. Photoshop is up to date and the Mac runs OS 10.8.5 - Canon printer driver is current at ver. 11.7.1.
When I print from Photoshop to the Pro-100 (let's say a 4X6 landscape snapshot to 4X6 borderless paper) the printer starts up and moves the paper out about 4 inches and then prints the
first two inches of the image, stops and ejects the paper!. I've tried different versions of printer the printer driver and made sure every things is up to date. However, I can print from MS Word,
Nikon Capture NX2, or Canon's own Print Studio Pro and it works fine. Canon is no help because if it works OK with their Print Studio Pro then it's not their issue - I tend to agree with them.
The same thing happens print from Photoshop to 5X7 or 8X10 paper - it gets ejected so far and then only prints part of the image. I've searched the Internet and posted in Forums but can't find
where any one would have the same problem. What I'm hoping for here is someone at from Adobe who's knows Photoshop tech stuff will post here with suggestion because there is no more
phone support for Photoshop CS6. I'd like to really keep this printer and get Photoshop to work with it but if I can't I'm going to offer it up free to a good home! JM Davis

Thanks for your answer, indeed this fixed the problem. Quite stupid I did not see this myself

10.6.7 update and now Canon printer problems

I had the automatic 10.6.7 update two days ago and everything is fine except now I have printer issues with Canon MF8350. I can still scan, I can print from Safari, I can print from some .pdf but not others, I am unable to print anything from Word - they all come out as blank pages. Updates from Microsoft and Canon didn't help.
If you don't know, anyone at least know how I can uninstall the update? I know how to find the updates list, but not how to get it out.

I just want to let you all know that I fixed my printing problem.
I could not add my printer under the System Preference>Print & Fax after I did the reset. But I can add the printer back to my Mac Pro by connecting the USB cable to the tower. When I connected my USB cable back to the Apple Extreme. The printer was offline. I did so many different thing still not working. Then I go the the discussion forum on Airport Express and ... I also followed a lot of advises there. Then someone give out a link on Apple support. I following the advise half way still printer was offline. Then I went to my Mac Book and to reset the printer, and add printer again, and click share this printer. I went back to my Mac Pro, and try print a page, I choose nearby printer (there was never has this option for me before). It has another printer icon with Canon MX310 series-1. Bingo, it printed from my Mac Pro also. I have two printer icons on my Mac Pro, one is the same name as the Mac book. I was very happy. It was 4 in the morning. Well, finally I could sleep good.
I am still not sure exactly what the step to make my printer work again (Trial and Error). But I learn a lot by reading advises on this forum.

Printing Problems since 10.4.0

My problems with printing have not improved from 10.4.0-10.4.3. I still have problems with epson printer utility. On any machine with tiger, it will just crash on launch.
I've tried re-installing the drivers, then I figured 10.4.3 would have fixed it since their were around 600 bug fixes (including printing). But, nope, still not working. I then tried going to the printer preferences and remove the printer and then re-add it to then find out the printer would not work at all. So just to get printing back I had to install gimp-print drivers so that i could at least print again. I am very frustrated with this problem. No Epson printers that I have dealt with work right with tiger. I love tiger but hate the printer problems.
My machine is very clean, I do regular maintenance. Does anyone have any advice, or is everyone having the same problems.

I am on a G4, installed Tiger and could not get my printers to work. I have an older Epson Stylus Color 900 and a new HP Business Injet 2800. I called Apple and went through a variety of steps unplugging everything, removing, then adding printer in print utility and the usual stuff. That got the HP going but still nothing from the Epson. Apple suggested contacting EPSON (i.e., I have no solution). I emailed EPSON tech support and they actually provided a solution that works, if you follow the steps carefully. Here's what they sent:
"Thank you for contacting the Epson Connection.
Please follow the instructions below to completely remove and reinstall the
resident Epson driver package for your printer. You can leave the printer
on and connected throughout.
REMOVE FILES
1. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
2. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
3. Double click on the PRINTERS folder.
4. Drag the EPSON folder to the trash can.
5. Close any open windows.
6. Double click on the MAC HARD DRIVE.
7. Double click on the LIBRARY folder.
8. Double click on the RECEIPTS folder.
9. Delete any "Epson" receipts.
10. Close all open windows and restart your computer.
REINSTALL THE EPSON DRIVER PACKAGE
1. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install disc. Open CD when it appears on the
desktop.
2. Find and double-click on the Optional Installs.mpkg.
3. After the installer opens, choose the following custom install options:
-Check "Printer drivers" and use arrow next to this entry to expand this
category.
-Check "Epson" below the "Printer drivers" heading. (You do not need to
install other manufacturer's packages.)
4. Click "Install" and follow prompts to reinstall the resident Epson
printer driver package. Restart the computer after installation is
complete.
READD THE PRINTER
1. Go into HD > Applications > Utilities and open the Printer Setup
Utility. The "Printer List" window appears.
2. Highlight and delete any existing references to your Epson printer. (If
you want to be thorough and do not have any other printers on the Mac,
choose "Printer Setup Utility" from the top of the screen and "Reset
Printing System". Confirm resetting the system. This clears any existing
printer entries and queues. If you have other printers on the Mac and use
this reset, you will need to readd them later.)
3. Click ADD. Printer Browser window appears. (At this point your Epson
printer must be on and connected.)
4. Highlight the desired Epson printer model and click the MORE PRINTERS
button at the bottom of the window. (Do not change any other fields.)
5. A window now opens which is identical to 10.2. and 10.3, where you can
select EPSON USB (for a USB cable connection) or EPSON FIREWIRE (for a
firewire connection) at the top of the screen. Highlight your printer's
name and then hit ADD to return to the Printer List with all available
printer/layout options now showing. (If you are unable to see the full
description under "Kind" you may need to expand the Printer Setup Utility
window or extend the "Kind" column to make this visible.)
6. Then, when you have opened a photo and are ready to print, go to File >
Page Setup and File > Print in the program you are printing from and ensure
that the specific printer/layout option you want to use is also selected as
"Printer" or "Format for".
I now have both my printers back. I was starting to think I never would. Not sure that this will work for you, but trying email EPSON via their web site.

Canon printer problem after upgrade.

Upgraded iMac to Yosemite 10.10.2. Now my Canon printer LPB6000-LPB6018 does not respond to print request. Even tho the printer is fairly new, I have forgotten what the procedure was in setting it up with Maverick that came with the Mac. Can it be set up again?

Also make sure you have the latest drivers, Apples latest for Canon is v3.1, should be available through auto update on App Store - if not you may have to go to the Web Site direct and download.

Canon MX700 Printer problem since upgrade to Lion.

Hi
Since upgrading to Lion every time I try to print something on my Canon MX700 networked printer I get a communication error. I found that what I have to do to get it to work is to print the document a second time and then delete the first document in the printer queue. This pauses the printer and when it is resumed the second document prints successfully.
Anyone else have this problem or can anyone shed any light on what might be wrong?
Scanning seems to work OK.
Many Thanks

you need to upgraded canon MX700 that's support Lion.
you can download updated driver from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_s eries/pixma_mx700#DriversAndSoftware
But remember, you should trash the BJPrinters folder, located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon. This action to uninstall driver canon MX700 that's installed on your mac

How do I let Apple know there is a print problem since the latest update?

Hi,
I am unable to print since I installed the latest version of Mac OS X 10.5.7 over the weekend. I use a Lexmark X5470 all-in-one printer. I had the same problem when I switched from Tiger to Leopard until Apple produced a patch. I tried it on both of my computers and I have the same problem on both.
How can I let Apple know that the same problem has occurred with the latest Mac OS X 10.5.7 update?
In the printing window I get two messages. The first says the there is a color missing , to delete and re-install the driver. The second, There is a problem communicating with the printer. Make sure the printer is powered on and connected to the computer. Delete or stop the job and try again.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Nerowolfe,
I contacted Lexmark, it was them who told me to let Apple know about this problem. They were not aware of the 10.5.7 update????
That probably explains it. Sometimes a minor bug in 3rd party software becomes a problem after a system update catches it.
From all that I know (which is not much) it is not a problem that is specific to my macbook or g5. I will try to post the issue in bugreport.
They usually let you know if it has been previously reported and eventually, the disposition of the request.
You might try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer.
Did you use the full combo manual download? That would be another thing to do - you can reapply it over the one you have.
Also run DU and repair permissions before and after any update.

WYSIWYG Printing Problems in Month View

Does anyone know how to get printouts of the monthly calendar view to actually replicate what is on the screen? Even though I have set preferences to suppress times in the Month View (which does work on the screen), the times still appear when I print. Also, even though the text appears in the appropriate color on the screen (according to the color-coded task I have assigned), only the tiny leader bullet appears in color on the printed version.
I have tried to set everything as an all-day event (which does suppress the times, as well as prints it in the appropriate color capsule), but this impacts the hierarchical ordering of the task on the calendar (ie. red tasks are homework, so I want them to appear as the last items on each day's tasks).
Thanks for any insight you can offer!

I'm also having a WYSIWYG in printing iCal. For me it's in the Week view. The event does not print out the way it appears on the screen. The problem started when I moved to the new iMac Intel computer. On my G3, it printed exactly as appeared on the screen. I can see the problem right on the Print screen (new in the latest version.)
There are no updates for the computer. We've installed them all.
I don't see any choices in the Preferences or the print screen that change anything. The exact problem is that the event appears as a tiny sliver in the time alloted on the week view - it doesn't take up the full time blocked out. It's as if the program is leaving extra space in case I want to add other events during the same time. When entering the event it looks great.
Any ideas out there?

Printer Problems since updateing to WIndows 8.1

Before I updated to Windows 8.1 the other month everything was fine on my new laptop then I went to scan something from my HP Photosmart B109n and it didn't work because the driver was now missing and the HP app that replace the HP printer manager is useless.
On the advice of the HP site I tried to download the new driver but it wouldn't go, it said I had to remove the exsisting installation but when I try it just restarts the computer but is still there afterwards. It turns out that the uninstall has gone missing from the current and the install is missing from the install program I have downloaded.
As a last resort I used the sytem restore but not only has the printer issues not changed but now some of the pre-loaded apps won't work and are asking for the Developers Licence to be renewed.
I am at a lost as to what to do next - please help!

Your notebook isn’t known to me but in case of Win 8.1 update you should check this Toshiba update to Win 8.1 page: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/gen...ws8_1-message/
There you can check if the Win 8.1 is supported on your notebook and how to perform the step-by-step update to Windows 8.1
Some drivers must be uninstalled and updated after the Win 8.1 update installation!
Regarding your printer issue:
Every printer manufacturer provides own drivers for the Windows system.
It’s not known to me if HP released compatible Win 8.1 drivers for the own Photosmart B109n printer but to be honest this issue isn’t related to the Toshiba notebook. If you have problems using HP printer in connection with Win 8.1, you should visit the printer manufacturer support page to get some workarounds and troubleshooting tips.

Printing Problems since upgrading to 10.5.6

We are having problems printing since updating to 10.5.6
1. We have a HP5000 black & white printer and when we print to it straight from InDesign CS3 it will enlarge the the job. We have to make a pdf then print from Acrobat. (We are connected by Appletalk)
2. We have a Xerox 6060 Color machine and we cannot print to it either. IT doesn't enlarge it but it just errors out.
I found a way to go around these problems which was to connect by "Bonjour" to a computer that has not been updated yet. Then we can print correctly but at sometime we will have to update that computer then we won't be able to print.
Has anyone else had these problems and/or has anyone found a solution????
Thanks for the help!

MacBook Pro - Canon printer problem.

Question
I have a 13inch MacBook Pro and a Canon iP4500 printer. My problem is that using the latest Canon drivers I am unable to set the printer driver properties - printing quality etc.
Does anyone out there know how to do this.
I am running Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to print from the editor. The photos print at low quality with bad banding.

My problem is that using the latest Canon drivers I am unable to set the printer driver properties - printing quality etc.
Does anyone out there know how to do this.
I'm not sure just what you're asking, but you set ink, paper, quality, etc. in the OS X system dialog box that opens up after you click in the PSE print dialog box. There's a pulldown menu in the middle of the page. If you just have the little stubby window, click the arrow to the right of the printer's name to expand the dialog box so you can see the menu.

Wireless Canon printer problem - solved

My household has 2 MacBook Pros that suddenly stopped being able to print to my Canon MX870 printer/multi-function device wirelessly ("Support code: 300" was the error message I got). After many hours of the chicken dances of turning things off and on (modem, router, Mac, printer, etc), and lots of other attempted solutions,* I found one place on the Canon support webpage that said to try UNPLUGGING the printer for at least 10 seconds to actually re-set it. Folks, this solved the problem, at least for the moment. Hooray! *One other solution I tried was replacing some of the ink cartridges. Apparently, they can appear to be dry even with ink in them (esp. if you haven't used the printer in a while -- and I also live in a fairly dry climate), and in some cases as stated elsewhere in the Apple support community, that dryness can cause a communication problem for the printer. That didn't solve it for me, but I offer that in case it might work for you.

Hello Lars,
i agree with you that the v2.00 of the UFR2 driver works. I have been recommending it for a while now in this forum.
However, during my testing I found that it did not always work perfectly on 10.6 and it did not support all the models of Canon iR. So while it is currently working to your iRC4580, it may not be your final solution because it was not designed to work with 10.6 and I just wanted to make others who read your post aware of this.
Also, because the driver does not officially support 10.6, I was suggesting this as an explanation why Canon
Europe had not posted the same.
One final note. For the sake of other readers If the iRC4580 had an imagePASS-H1 print controller attached, rather than using the internal Canon board, then the UFR2 driver cannot be used.
Hope this clears things up. Like I said, I wasn't disagreeing with you. i was just trying to answer some of the items you raised.

Canon printer problem solved

I am still frustrated, that Canon has not yet solved the driver problems with my printer (IRC 4580)
I was browsing Sunday evening, and via Google I ended on Canon Australia's website:
http://www.canon.com.au/drivers/
And suddenly I found a full list of drivers for OSX 10.6 including my printer. I have installed, it and it works for all post copy handling systems on the printer (booklet, stables, punching etc.).
Perhaps Canon can find a way to communicate this for the rest of the world.
Best regards

Printing problem since downloaded Windows 10

I own a Brother 7820 N (printer, fax, scan, copier). Ever since I downloaded Windows 8.1, I can no longer scan. Tonight, given that problem, I downloaded Windows 10. Now, I can't even successfully print, despite being given a PIN and purportedly setting up (successfully, according to some HP message) my computer with the printer. Please help.

Hi,
Would it be possible for you to let me know the following details:
1. Have you tried to re-install the Printer Driver?
2. Have you tried printing from any other application. Do you see the same results?
3. Could you try and see if Solution 2 on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html helps (i.e. Turning Duplex Printing OFF.) It could be a case wherein your printer does not support Duplex Printing and that might be causing the issue.
Thanks
