Canon UFRII not working with IR C5180

Sadly I spent hours on this issue at a client yesterday with no resolution.
Not using UFR but just the Canon PPD I can print fine from all stations (both 10.5 and 10.6). The client needs to be sending department ID's along with the print jobs for accounting purposes and so I began my (not)love affair with UFRII.
1) The IR C 5180 is listed as a supported model and I can can add (LPD, per Canon's instructions as well as suggestions here) the printer without issue.
2) From both the print queue dialog (via System Prefs) and the print dialog from various applications I've confirmed successful bidirectional communication with the printer.
3) I can send a print job with a department code but then UFR immediately pops up an error saying something like "Cannot communicate with the printer..." obviously leading to no job showing up at the printer.
4) I can load the web interface for the C5180 but I don't admin the printer so I'm not going to make changes there as i don't know who I might hurt in the process. (I'm there to help 4-5 Mac users in an otherwise Windows environment.)
I've reset the printing system, restarted the computer, attempted this on two different computers and also followed suggestions found here for manually removing some files after attempting an uninstall before reinstalling UFR. I'm sure I tried more than that yesterday but suffice it to say I did a lot of troubleshooting all of which boils down to the four points above.
I opted for trying the UFR because that seems to be the way Canon intends for this to be working. Unfortunately at some point in the past this all worked fine and my digging up of old machines at the client seems to show that it was working using a PS driver. The latest version of this I see on the C5180 download page is 1.81 from February of 2008.
The client needs this working ASAP so my question is do I keep banging my head against UFR or simply try to recreate the goodness of the past using a PS driver from over two years ago? Any input/insight is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately you may need to keep banging your head with the UFR2 driver. The current PS drivers (the v2.11 'CUPS' and v1.81) do not work on Snow. And according to my Canon contact the PS driver for SL is not due till the middle of May.
With reference to Point 2, can you confirm that you are able to open the UFR II Printmonitor and get information about the iRC5180 configuration. If this is working okay then it does confirm you have a bidirectional path to the printer and would suggest that the printing problem lies elsewhere.
If the above is working, then the machine firmware could be the fault. To use the v2.06 UFR2 driver, you need the firmware to be relatively recent. The latest system version for the iRC5180 series is v92.06. If the machine is running a system that is considerably older, such as v80 or earlier, then a Canon tech should be called to update the machine. The firmware version can be found by opening the iRC5180 web page and select Device then Device Information. The entry Controller Version will list three numbers separated by full stops. The first number is the main board firmware version.
If the firmware is later than v80, then would you be able to post back here the cups error log information pertaining to one of the failed print jobs for the UFR2 driver? I would like to look at what the log says before the 'Cannot communicate' message appears.

  • Canon Selphys not working with Gutenprint

    Is there anybody who can confirm that a Canon Selphy (any model) printer (sublimation) is really working with Guteprint drivers (comes with Snow Leopard)? Because there is reports everywhere that they are not working:

    Mine is not working with Gutenprint either. I have Canon Selphy CP-740. I downloaded even the newest gutenprint drivers (5.2.4) but no.
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    I have the exact same symptoms as in the first three post in the first thread above: The driver reports that it's 100% ready, but nothing happens. With the updated 5.2.4 it takes the paper inside the printer and then stops there!
    Of course I got it working with the original (old) Canon drivers from Canon's homepage, like some other people on those threads. But the Canon driver is not nearly as good, because there is so darn few adjustments. Gutenprint would have been much better.
    So - Is there any Sephys out there actually working with Snow Leopard's Gutenprint drivers?

  • Epson and Canon printers not working with 10.7.5

    Anyone know if there is a fix for Epson and Canon printers for 10.7.5? Did Apple intentionally switch off printer drivers to force us to upgrade to Mountain Lion? I called Epson technical support and they mentioned it's a well-known issue and they said to "wait for an Apple update". I doubt that will fix the issue. My Canon printer stopped working for months already and there is still no fix.

  • Canon scanner not working with MacBook Pro.

    I wonder if anyone is able to help. I recently bought a Canon MG5550 Printer/Scanner and I am having trouble with scanning. When I press the scan button on the printer nothing happens, not evening a warning message. I have tried using a cable and this hasn't improved the sitation. When I go onto Preview, I can select "Import from Canon MG5550 Series" under "File" but I get a message saying that the software for this device hasn't been downloaded, even though it has. I notice that on this page the MG5550 isn't recognised, and I wonder id this could explain the sitation http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#canon-inkjet. Anyone know any way around this?

  • Canon IPF8000 not working with Snow Leopard

    My Canon IPF8000 is on a Windows network. I was able to print to it in OSX 10.5 and use all the extra handy features like Easy Layout, etc. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard it's not possible to print to it at all. Is there anyone that is able to do so successfully running Snow Leopard and can you please help?
    Thanks!

    Not quite sure what you mean by on a Windows network. Do you mean it is being shared by a Windows server?
    If that is not what you mean, and the printer is directly connected to the network via Ethernet, then you can use the following driver which supports Mac OS X 10.6 to print to the iPF8000.

  • Canon Pixma MP-540 (and other) does not work with Cups 1.4

    Since Cups 1.4 my printer does not work
    its 100% about Cups 1.4 beceause after an downgrade to 1.3 it worked perfect. After upgrade to 1.4 again nothing worked.
    So my question, could there be maybe a package called cups-legacy. I heard about other Canon printers + non canon printers which not work with Cups 1.4 in case of binary distributed drivers

    I had a similar problem with my MP780 and solved it by adding a custom udev rule. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cup … ermissions. This is my udev rule:
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="1707", GROUP:="lp", MODE:="0660"
    and lsusb output:
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:1707 Canon, Inc. PIXMA MP780 Scanner
    . Hopefully this will be fixed by hal/devicekit/udev upstream but it all seems a bit of a jumble atm, to me anyway.

The supplied software will not work with vista. Photoshop CS5 will not accept canon7D mk11. Can someone please tell me how i process canon 7D mk11 photos ?????. (is it possible to bypass camera raw and open the photo straight into CS5 without using camera raw first. if so how do i do that. if not how do i process pictures).
    Thank you.
    Brian in the UK.

    Photoshop by itself cannot process raw image data. That is why the Camera Raw plug-in was developed. You could try the DNG converter and convert your images to the DNG format and then the Camera Raw that you have would be able to open them. I can't recommend Lightroom because you are using Vista, and Lightroom 5 cannot be used with that operating system. It may be time for you to get a new computer and upgrade your software.

  • Canoscan 9950F still not working with 11/26 fix from Canon

    Just reported this to Canon. Image Capture and VueScan both work. I can get the scanner to work on a MBP but not on the G4 iMac .... except on a fresh install and only one user account. I you create a 2nd user (not even migrate data, just create a 2nd user), the Canon Toolbox appears to lose its pathing to the scanner driver. Bizarre.
    I've deleted the TWAIN driver manually and using the Canon utility (from the web site). I've installed, reinstalled, uninstalled every combination of Toolbox and TWAIN driver imaginable. So it's back with Canon .... close but

    This may not help you, but here is what I found.
    I have a Flatscreen G4 iMac 1.2G. I have had no end of trouble with the USB ports since moving to Leopard.
    The first problem I had was that TimeMachine would not work with my Seagate 500G FreeAgent disk. Sometimes it would not mount, file corruption etc. Thought I had a stuffed USB adaptor.
    Somewhere amongst this greif I notice that my Canon LIDE50 scanner would not work any more.
    There are numerous threads around the place on this issue. This scanner is claimed to not work with Leopard. Anyway, at this point I disconnected the scanner and also upgraded to 10.5.1. TimeMachine now works fine.
    Since then, the scanner has been on our MacBook Pro using BootCamp. I did try Vuescan, it does work, but I'd rather use the Canon tools for what I'm doing.
    Tonight I did a bit of poking around to make sure all the files for the scanner installed in the right places. During this process I notice the USB disk had gone missing again. To cut a long story short, the USB disk and the Canon LIDE50 scanner are mutually exclusive. Plug only the scanner in, it works. Plug only the disk in, it works. Plug them both in, neither work! At this point I'm shutting down and restarting to change them over, but at least I have a work around.

  • Canon MP620 does not work with OS 10.10.2

    Is their anyway to get a Canon MP620 to work with OS 10.10.2

    The last printer driver that Canon released for the MP620 was for OS X 10.9. Here is a link to that driver. You should be able to install this driver on 10.10. If you get a message stating that it cannot be installed due to its digital signature then right-click on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. Now you will get the option to install the driver.
    With the driver installed you can then add the printer. If you are having trouble with adding the printer then please reply.

  • Do SD card readers not work with 10.3?

    I have an old G4 Power mac, and my kids have iMac G5s. We all run 10.3.9, and have SD card readers, and none of them work at all. Does Apple acknowledge that SD cards do not work with Macs, and/or was this fixed in 10.4? We are looking to replace our computers, and this is a deal breaker.

    Okay, I did a little more research, and here's what I have found.
    (Yes, I'm talking about a USB card reader.)
    On my ancient G4 Mac, the 2GB card never mounts. I can see it with Disk Utility, but Disk Utility usually offers to format it. When I do this, it attempts to format it as a 1GB card, and fails.
    However, I found an old 16MB card, and it mounts every time.
    My kids both have a reader and a 2GB card for their iMacs. They usually mount okay, but not always. Sometimes it takes a restart.
    The 2GB cards are all a funky off-brand, "Adata." The 16MB card is a Canon.
    Now I am wondering if it's the cheap cards, or the capacity of the cards. I remember reading at one time that some Macs don't want to see removable drives over 1GB. This may be the problem with my computer. I just ordered a 1GB PQI card, we'll see how that does when it arrives.
    My mac has both USB 1.1 and 2.0 slots. Same results on either bus.
