How to uninstall print drivers Canon MF4150 issues

Hello all, I am having a nightmare of a time getting my Canon MF4150 to print. It looks from all of the threads on here it was a less than ideal choice for a Mac owner.
When I first bought the unit I managed to get it to print, everything seemed peachy.
Problems arose when I wanted to use the unit to scan. I downloaded a variety of third party software and drivers in an attempt to get the scan function working. I had mixed results, and this process seemed to upset the printing side of things. Once I scanned a document, the printer would then not work.
I abandoned the idea of scanning through the MF4150 and have gone back to dedicated Epson scanner.
Since then I have not had any luck getting the printer to print again.
I have gone through all the MF4150 related threads on these boards I can find, and followed the process to installed outlined here - https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893 but to no avail.
I really just want this thing to print and it's driving me nuts.
I have the printer attached directly to my MacBook Pro running 10.5.2. I'm not trying to print through the Airport.
I would like to know how to completely uninstall any UFR II drivers and related software / information and start this process from the beginning again.
So far, using the answer provided by PAHU here https://discussions.apple.com/message/7657893#7657893
I have -
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
> DONE
2. Select the MF4150 printer and press the minus " - " button to remove the printer. Do the same to any other printers that are in the printer list.
> DONE
3. Hold down the Control key and click in the empty printer list. A window showing 'Reset printing system' will display. Click this.
> DONE
4. Close the Print & Fax utility.
> DONE
5. Run the Canon UFR2 v1.70 installer and select Uninstall when the Easy Install menu appears
> This is where I get snagged. I'm not offered a Uninstall option. I have attached a screen grab of the window I am presented with. I am currently trying the "o1141enx_m_ufr224" version of the UFR driver. I have continued to complete the points below regardless of the fact i cannot uninstall.
6. Restart the Mac and run the v1.70 installer again to add the UFR2 files back onto your Mac
7. Go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Select the Mac OS X partition in the left pane and select 'Repair Disk Permissions'. When this has completed, quit Disk Utility
8. Open Print & Fax and add the MF4270 again
9. Open TextEdit, type some simple text and select to print.
10. Report back if the above doesn't get you printing.
I have also attach a screen grab of the process I go through when adding the printer.
Any help with this would be amazing. I've tried everything I can think of.
My latest idea is to try and remove any trace of previous printer drivers and go from there. You can see in my list of available drivers in the file attached I now have all sorts of UFR drivers in the list.
Again, if anyone can throw me a line on this that would be great.
Thanks & Regards
Coz

Hello Coz,
It's been a while since you've posted, I hope you have not given up.  I was having grief with my MF4150 as well, but got it working.  There is a more current driver - search for Mac_UFRII_V230_uk_EN and install it.
Then, when you go to add your printer through System Preferences > Print & Fax, make sure you click the "default" icon in the top of the dialog.  It should show your Canon MF 4100 series , then use the bottom drop down menu to choose your driver and select Canno MF410 Series UFRII LT (UK) from the list.

  • How to uninstall printer drivers

    I have a 64Gb MacBook Air and installed the printer drivers for an HP printer.  Within a few hours of using the printer, three major faults occurred, so I returned the printer and got my money back.  I'm going to buy a Canon printer now but first I want to remove the HP printer drivers and all references to it.
    I'm using OS 10.7.5.
    None of the information I've picked up through the communities works for me becasue they refer to menu options that don't exist on this machine.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Thanks.
    G.

    Thanks very much mende1.  I followed your very clear instructions and it worked - all the HP references are now consigned to the dustbin.  Just a shame HP don't consign their model HP2050 to the dustbin!

    You will need to create separate device types for each printer family installed at your installation or if each printer family require either simplex or duplex printing.
    1. Go to ‘Spool Administration screen’ by using transaction code SPAD from the initial screen of SAP.
    2. From the SPAD screen choose menu path Utilities-->for device types --> IMPORT (or you can run RSTXSCRP program from SE38, too).
    3. In the initial screen of “SAPscript Export to Dataset/SAPscript Import from Dataset” enter the following:
    a) Check Radio button for device type.
    b) In the Object Name field enter object name of the device type file (please see the table at the end of this document for object names)
    c) MODE must be IMPORT
    In the Ctrl parameters for file operation
    d) Check radio button for "From/on frontend" ( Generally this would be the default)
    That's it. Don't enter anything else. Execute by clicking execute button or function key F8.
    4. In the “Create Object Directory Entry” window that pops up, enter your development class and press enter
    5. You will get a pop up Window “Import from a Local File”. Browse through the Window to enter the filename in your local directory and click ‘Transfer’ button.

  • How do I uninstall print drivers that do not work?

    I've downloaded the HP drivers for 10.6 from here
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/HPPrinter_Drivers_for_Mac_OS_X_v106
    However, I am still unable to get my HP PSC 1400 to print via the Time Capsule. Since the driver package ended up being +500 MB, is there any way that I can uninstall these drivers to regain that space?

    So the printer drivers for the PSC1400 series unfortunately did not make it onto the DVD. They will be available through a software update at some point in the future. You should able to install the 10.5 solution to get basic functionality working again. As for deleting the files, yes there is a way, but it still leaves some of the files laying around so software update won't work.
    If you want the space though, most of the files are in /Library/Printers/hp. That being said the software update to provide printing support will probably put most of them back.
    Just trying to help.

  • OK to delete boms for uninstalled printer drivers in /Library/Receipts?

    I've trashed a bunch of unnecessary printer drivers from /Library/Printers. Can I trash their related Receipts in /Library/Receipts/boms? Together they are using quite a few MBs. They all start with com.apple.
    Another quick question: A 3rd party app called DockDoctor installed a number of Receipts in the same location at boms. I've uninstalled the app, but would like to know if it's OK to trash their Receipts located there. If I do, could that cause some sort of conflict (permissions?) with the a.receiptdb (inside the db folder) which I noticed was changed at the time I installed the app? Thanks

    You can delete items from the receipts folder if you really really want to, but I wouldn't recommend it.
    - It shouldn't cause problems if the item is definitely removed.
    - It could cause problems if the item isn't removed.
    In any case, for most people the risk outweighs the benefit. If you're really short on hard drive space, I'd recommend other strategies. It's also generally a good idea to stay out of the /Library folder.

    Hello LA,
    The window that I have is different from the one you posted. Please see attached for mine. When I clicked on REMOVE, a message popped up and disappeared within a couple seconds. And the message is as following: "The installer is verifying the installation, please do not reboot while this dialog is being display." This same message popped up every time REMOVE is clicked but I have no luck on removing MAX.
    This test PC is for legacy testing and it was with Windows 98 and have an ISA DAQ card installed that requires DAQ driver 6.9.3. Can upgrading the test PC to Windows 2000 corrupt the installation?
    Looking forward for your advice. Thank you.

  • How to download printer drivers, how to download printer drivers, how to download printer drivers

    I have migrated from Microsoft to Apple and need to know how to find my printer drivers.  I downloaded new driver for Mac OS from Brothers website, but can't find my printer anywhere.  It said the download completed by no where to be found.  Please help.

    Under Lion, you should not install the printer driver directly.  Let Apple find it for you via software update.
    Here's the detailed article that will help:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
    You basically have to have your printer connected to your Mac (for example, by USB or on your wireless network).  Then let Apple find the appropriate driver software for you.

  • Uninstall Printer Drivers, Additional Fonts, Language Translations?

    I just did an Archive and Install of 10.4 from 10.3.9, ran the combo updater to 10.4.3, and then upgraded to 10.4.4, but my only partly-caffeinated bad self installed all the extras Printer Drivers, Additional Fonts, and Language Translations when I did the original A and I of 10.4.
    I neither want nor need all these extras. How should I go about rectifying this situation?
    Thanks!
    Dual 2 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   6.5 GB RAM

    You can also disable fonts using Font Book (in the /Applications folder). But be careful, as disabling the wrong fonts can cause problems with various applications. Such problems include programs unexpectedly quitting as soon as they are launched.
    Note: I have had no problems disabling all of the Asian character fonts.

  • How to install printer drivers manually?

    When I installed Leopard, I opted not to install any printer drivers apart from the one for my own printer.
    Then my printer died and I got a new printer -- a Brother HL-4070CDW. I assumed I could download the proper driver from Brother's website. Nope! At the website it just says, "Mac OSX 10.5 contains the appropriate printer drivers for your product."
    Using Pacifist I was able to extract a folder called BrotherPrinterDrivers from the Leopard install disks. But that folder contains a bunch of files, and I have no idea where to install them on my machine.
    Any help from someone who with a good understanding of printer drivers in Leopard would be greatly appreciated.

    Gabriel,
    If you do not know where to place them using Pacifist, Follow the instructions listed in this link. Expand the Printer Drivers by clicking on the disclosure arrow, and choose the appropriate manufacturer.
    Although the document I linked describes 10.4 installations the procedure will be the same for 10.5 You will find the Optional Installs.mpkg inside the Optional Installs folder.

  • How to remove printer drivers and associated software?

    I'm fairly new to Apple, so please bear with me...  I recently upgraded to an Airprint-compatible all-in-one (HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus) and have given my previous Canon MG6150 all-in-one to my daughter.  Now I want to remove the Canon software and the printer driver.  There's no uninstall routines, I've searched the Internet extensively but despite looking carefully in Cannon and Apple sites, haven't found anything that documents my circumstances..
    The software includes
    - Canon IJ Network scanner (currently in menu bar at top left of screen)
    - Easy-Photo Print
    - Canon Solution Menu EX
    - Canon OnScreen Manual
    - MP Navigator EX
    - MP Navigator EX Opener
    Most of these seem to be in the Applications folder.  Is it just a case of deleting these from the Applications folder or is there something else to do?
    Then there's two drivers (printer and scanner) for the MG6150 all-in-one.  There a *massive pile* of files within Library/Printers/Canon within folders called BJPrinter and IJScanner.  One of these is the Canon IJ Network software referred to above.
    Would appreciate advice...
    Tim

    First, resetting your printing system is a good start: right-click on any printer in the System Preferences and click on the command.
    Next, while in System Prefs, remove anything printer/scanner related from your Login Items list, e.g. the IJ network scanner.
    Log out and back in, the menu item should be gone now.
    Now you can go and delete all apps manually, as well as anything Canon related from all Libraries, or get the free "AppCleaner" and drag and drop each app onto it - what's eventually left you can live with.
    Restart, then install the new software.
