Driver functionality om Konica Minolta Bizhub c250

My office printer is a Konica Minolta Bizhub c250. I'm trying to install the printer on my new macbook pro running osx 10.6.6. The printer seems to support mac, and I downloaded the drivers from:
http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productname=c250
The drivers seems to install fine, and I'm able to print pages. The problem is that there are no advanced driver settings (two-sided printing, settings for color/greyscale etc).
After installing the drivers I get a window with some settings - I select "duplex unit" but this doesnt seem to do anything.
Is there a way to install this printer with full functionality like duplex-printing, color/greyscale, stapling etc. ?

I installed the drivers you cited and created a dummy printer. The options you want are there--just not in the usual places. In a print window use the pop up menu to look for the various categories of options. For Duplex, look under the Finishing. You will find a check box for Duplex. For Color/Grayscale, use Quality -> Select Color.
I think you will find all the options you need in the print window. You will just have to explore all the various option categories until you find the choices you want.

Konica Minolta Bizhub C250 print issues

I am having some issues with printing to my Konica Minolta Bizhub C250. It will print, but it takes an act of Congress!
In order to print, I have to change the preset to "Standard" and then back to "Color" in order to print. If I just try to hit print, it will show on my screen that it prints (the job disappears), but it never prints (or even makes it to the printer). It does have a security code, and all of that is set up correctly.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Cannot set up account track on Konica Minolta Bizhub c250

My problem is that I can't print because I cannot set up my account tracking authentication. I do not have a 'securities' pulldown in my printers 'installable' options.' The only pulldowns I have are...
'Paper Sources'
'Finisher'
'Punch Kit'
'Saddle Kit'
checked box for 'Printer HDD'
unchecked box for 'Duplex Unit'
The driver that I installed (Mac OS 10.5.x - Drivers -Postscript Drivers-Version 3.1.4) was recovered from this website, it is located on the lower quarter of the page:
http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productid=831&fil etypeid=0
I had previously installed the wrong OS driver for this printer, but I believe I have successfully deleted all remnants of that install because when I installed the OS 10.5 driver, additional options were available in the installable options menu, yet none of them were the securities option needed to set up an account track profile.
Any suggestions or specific places where I can find a proper driver, or perhaps get account track to work with the options I have available?
Thank you to anyone who even got through this entire post,
Stefan

Managed to check the driver this morning (sorry for the delay, was out of the office yesterday). I created a printer queue using the C250 driver and as you said, on install you are prompted to select several finishing options, but nothing about using the security feature. However, when I then selected to print a document, the Security menu was present in the print dialog, appearing at the bottom of the other extended features of Finishing, Quality and Setup.
I then changed the setup of the driver options and disabled the HDD setting, thinking that maybe the feature does not appear if no hard drive is in the printer, but even with this setting disabled, the Security menu was still present.
So, I haven't been able to stop the Security menu from appearing in the print dialog. And in response to your question, there is no way of adding a plugin to your print dialog. The print dialog extended features appear because they are listed, or enabled, in the PPD for the printer. When a user selects that feature in the print dialog, then the PDE plugin is called by the print system.
Looking at the C250 ppd, shown below, you can see that the Security feature is listed as a dialog extension, the same as the other three you see in the print dialog.
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C250/PDEs/KONICA MINOLTA C250 Finishing.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C250/PDEs/KONICA MINOLTA C250 ImageLayout.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C250/PDEs/KONICA MINOLTA C250 Setup.plugin"
*APDialogExtension: "/Library/Printers/KONICAMINOLTA/C250/PDEs/KONICA MINOLTA C250 Security.plugin"
So, at this stage I cannot see why your print dialog would not be showing the Security plugin. What protocol did you choose when you added the C250 printer queue?

Konica Minolta bizhub 223 not compatible with Mountain Lion?

I've downloaded the driver for the Konica Minolta bizhub 223 and POOF, upon the message box that says installation is complete, I cannot find the printer installed anywhere. The System Preferences are no help either because it does not detect the printer anywhere.
Yes, the printer is on, plugged into the network (all my other computers networked to it are printing fine, they are PC's however)
Yes, my MacBook is connected to the network
I just don't understand what I am doing wrong and why I cannot add it.
The weird thing, it was working fine this past Friday. Nothing has changed since then.
Anyone with any thoughts?

Hi Nachos,
First I installed the driver via the CD that came with the printer and upon "install completion", Nothing.
Then I installed the latest driver (for 10.6 or later OS) driver from the Konica Minolta website and Nothing.
I do not get Software Updates for this printer, I'm not sure why.
No, the printer does not show up in my list of Printers when I go into System Prefs ---> Print & Scan. It did 3 days ago, now nothing.
I'm thinking it doesn't like the Lion upgrade or the updates that have taken place since.... I need to get a new printer, I believe.
Anyone else have thoughts?

Konica Minolta Bizhub 250 printer driver on Leopard problems

Hello All,
I upgraded to Leopard and lost my printer drivers for both of my printers. I have been able to restore my HP7410 wireless via my airport at home. However, my office printer is a Konica Minolta Bizhub 250K also working through an airport extreme. My problem is that I have tried to download the driver for the Bizhub with the disc that came with the unit. After I go through the download process it says I've downloaded successfully but can not find it on my hard drive, even with MAC's support. I have searched the Konica Minolta support site only to find older versions of the driver. I finally got the (KONICAMINOLTA350105.pkg) to show up on my hard drive but when I open it it only takes me back through installing the (KONICA MINOLTA 350/250/200 Printer Driver Installer for Mac OS X (10.5)) process again without installing a driver.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
DG

Hello DG,
Mac OS X printer installers typically copy files to ./Library/Printers/vendor_name. If the driver is simply a PPD, then it will be copied to ./Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ (note the leading period refers to your hard drive)
I downloaded the driver installer for 10.5 that you mentioned. It creates the folder KONICAMINOLTA under ./Library/Printers/ and has two subfilters, PDEs and filter. I then selected to add an IP printer with a dummy IP address and then searched for the 250 via the Print Using menu, by typing C250. The KONICA MINOLTA C250 PS(P) was then displayed, which I selected to Add.
Now, the issue for you will be how do you connect to this printer via Airport. If the printer is connected via the Ethernet port of the AEBS, then you should be able to add via IP and select either LPD or HP Jetdirect-Socket (which is aka Port 9100 RAW). After entering these details you can then browse for the C250.
Hope this helps,
PaHu

Is there a utility to operate a printer under 10.6 from 10.7.2? (No 10.7.2 driver for Konica Minolta bizhub C351)

Konica Minolta bizhub C351 operates reasonably well from an OS X 10.6.x Mac. As of 12-17-11 Konica Minolta reports no driver for 10.7.2, and our office groupo C351 will not respond to 10.7.2. Older Macs still under 10.6.8 operate as usual. From Apply Support directions, direct connecting between iMac 10.7.2 and C351 resulted with iMac no recognizing the C351. Konica Minolta support, including "advanced", via telephone, confirmed there was no 10.7.2 driver availabe to date.
Suggestion from an Apple user (but not an expert) is that there should be a utility available somewhere with which a Mac operating under 10.7 can dial down to 10.6 for purposes of a situation such as this. If such a utility, or other solution is out there, please share that wisdom.
Thanks!

In our office we just switched back to Snow Leopard. Happy as clams now.

Konica Minolta Bizhub C451 driver?

Any ideas on when the magical driver for this puppy will with Snow Leopard?

Maybe I found a temporary solution.
In my case (and I am not the only one, it seems) konica minolta bizhub c451 10.5 intel drivers do not work (i got the per page plugin error).
So I downloaded ver 3.01 drivers (Mac OS 10.4x - Drivers, PPD tab). Turns out it kind of works.
Kind of means:
it does not crash
printer specific features (output, finishing, covers ect..) do not works as intended: menu items are stroked through
BUT i have a new menu item: printer features! I can select features such as 2 page print or binding.
It's not user friendly, but it is much better that generic PS drivers.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub

Has anyone successfully set up scan to smb to mac os 10.7.x from a Konica Minolta bizhub. I'm using 10.7.3 on MacBook Pro. Don't care what model bizhub is being used as I have access to many. I've seen the posts for FTP workarounds but want to use SMB if that is an option. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I've read other discussions that have suggested changing the format of the username and password when having login problems. I'm not familiar with NT-Status Codes. Could changing the format of the username make any difference? Something like... "workgroup/username" or "username@domain" or "domain/username" or some other combination of workgroup, domain, username, computername.
The issue has nothing to do with the format of the user authentication. What you are reading is about the Lion Mac connecting to a Windows computer that is part of domain or workgroup. The method changed slightly compared to Snow Leopard.
KM does support FTP so that is still an option, but I would ideally would like to set up SMB scanning. I'm not sure if KM is going to support AFP anytime soon.
With the lack of SMB support and KM offering no alternative at this stage then I suggest you look at using FTP. While Lion removed the option to enable FTP via the Sharing pane in System Preferences, it can still be enabled via Terminal using the following command
sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
You will be prompted to authenticate using your Mac's admin account & password. Once this is done, you can then configure the address on the copier to push scan using FTP. The keys are;
The host name requires just the IP address. No leading slashes like SMB
The path will be the folder that you want to scan to, also entered without a leading slash. For example, Desktop
The user name will be the short name of the account who's folder you want to scan to.
The only other option may be WebDAV if the KM supports it. We have this with our imageRUNNER ADVANCE and with a document scanned to a shared folder in the copier hard drive, we can then connect to that folder by using Finder's > Go > Connect to Server facility. You then just enter
http://ipaddress/share
which connects you to the shared folder and lets you see the document you scanned. You also have the facility to set subfolders for security of users documents.

Printing in a mailbox (Konica Minolta Bizhub)

hi together,
we have a big department-printer (Konica Minolta bizhub).
The windows-driver of this printer allows you to print into your own mailbox.
This "mailbox" is a password-protected folder on the printer´s harddrive.
So after printing in your mailbox you can go to the printer, fill in your user-id and password and print the documents/pictures/whatever.
In windows it works fine but does anybody have an idea, how to enable this in SAP?

Thanks for your reply.
I think my post was a bit ambiguous.
I do not want to send spools to Mailboxes(e.g. Gmail), but I want to send spools to "mailboxes" (they are called so) on the printer.. Maybe it would be better to call them Printboxes.
One example: In windows I can print into my printbox as much I want. The documents dont get printed really, but they are stored in my inbox on the printer. If I want to, I can go now to the printer, fill in my user-ID and password and print the documents. This mailbox is just a protected folder on the printers harddrive.

Konica Minolta bizhub printer drivers

I had trouble getting my work machine to use the correct drivers for our Konica Minolta bizhub c224. I ended up finding a driver that works on the Japanese version of their site.
Here's a link to the download:

Thanks!

Konica Minolta Bizhub C450 Printer Goes into Pause

Hello.
WHen I bought this iMac (this past winter) I had no issues using our Konica Minolta Bizhub C450. A KM tech rep suggested (for no reason) that I upgrade to the latest KM driver.
That was a disaster. I went back to the old driver. A couple of months later suddenly everything I print goes into pause.
I was able to work around by using the printer through another, older iMac via sharing. Now that is not working.
Any suggestions??????
What is Apple or KM saying about this?

Hi Nachos,

Konica Minolta bizhub C353 going in to a pause state several times a day.

I have a client with a mixed 10.5 and 10.4 network. Since installing a Konica Minolta bizhub C353 MFP we've been having an issue with the NIC on the MFP locking up (not responding to pings, web utils not coming up) and the print queue showing the machine in a paused state. I am certain that the issue is not related to the MFP because we swapped an identical MFP of the clients from another location and the issue remained on the original network (i.e. the MFP having the problem worked fine at the new location that the MFP not having the problem started screwing up).
A recent packet capture showed that a print job being sent from a workstation using a CUPS based print driver instead of the Konica Minolta driver. The print request has several commands preceding it that are NOT generated by the Konica Minolta driver. These commands actually prevented the document from being distilled from the captured packets and once we removed the commands we were able to distill the document.
So question one is: does OSX use CUPS when printing from a generic driver? Question two is: has anyone had issues with using a generic print driver such as network lockups and the like?

The Console application is located in Application > Utilities.
A good trick on the Mac to open applications is to use Spotlight - the little magnifying glass in the top right hand corner.
To open, either click on the icon or press Command Space. Then type in cons and you will see a list of hits, Console being one of them. Select it and the application will open.
Console is like Windows Event Viewer. Just about everything that goes on the Mac is logged and Console lets you see that.
With Console open, expand the entry /var/log. You should see the cups entry. Expand this and you will see the error_log. It may not mean much to you at first but the trick is to look at the left side of the right hand pane. You will see heaps of I's, meaning information, and if there are any errors they will start with an E.
Note that the start of every job is with the creation of a banner page (a leftover from UNIX days). This can also help you find your way around the log. It will also show all the filters and plugins that are being called for that job and may help identify the extra stuff you were seeing with the sniff, although this could have been a port check to make sure the socket was open.
As for the KM driver, it is often not a bad idea to use a generic driver when troubleshooting, but of course this will not provide the user with all the features of the printer - such as finishing options. So that is why I say it is for troubleshooting. If the generic driver works but the vendor provided doesn't, then you have narrowed down your causes. You'd be surprised by how easy most drivers are to install. But unlike Windows it is a two step process - install the driver software first and then add the print queue. If you find a C353 driver for OS X, then it will probably have an installer that you run (by double-clicking) and this will copy all the relevant driver files to the Mac. Note that you will have to authenticate with an admin account, just like Vista, to run the installer.
Hope this helps you a bit more. Feel free to ask more questions if you need to.

Cant find settings for black and white prints using konica minolta bizhub 280 printer

I am having difficulty finding where to set our network Konica Minolta bizhub C280 printer to print black and white instead of colour from my macbook pro with OSX 10.8.2. I dont want to change the default printer settings, just change individual document print settings. Can anyone please assist me as to where and how to do this?

"How about under "Default Settings"? Is there a option for B&W printing?"
No there isn't.

Printing Color Options on Konica Minolta Bizhub

I am printing from my MacBook to a Konica/Minolta Bizhubc252. I have never had a problem doing the wireless printing. I, however, cannot choose to either print in color or grayscale. It chooses for me. Over time it has switched back and forth from defaulting b/w to color for no apparent reason (I assume it has to do with automatic updates) Right now it is stuck on b/w.
My question is this: How do I tell my printing options that I want my color document to print in color?
Thanks guys, these threads are extremely helpful.

Hi,
