I cant print text to Canon LBP 5100

I have Canon LBP 5100 colour laser printer connected via a network. It used to be fine but now will not print text in a document sent from my iMac or a Macbook Pro.
If the document contains text and graphics it will print the graphics only. It is not only black but all colours. The appropriated dialogue comes up in the "Print box" with the correct Quick Preview. It just wont print. If the file is text only, nothing happens at the printer - not even blank paper.
I can print correctly to another printer on the network.
However the Canon will print correctly from a Windows computer attached to the network.
I have reinstalled the printer driver on my iMac.
Any ideas or help??

I have just solved this using the "More like this" discussions. There is a new CAPT driver available from the Canon website http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900772205.html
I downloaded and installed it. Then deleted and re-installed the printer and it works!
Thanks to all the helpful comments on the other threads.
Hope this helps somebody else.

Time Capsule printing Canon LBP 5100 - Snow Leopard

Hello!
I am happily able to print via USB to my printer - a canon LBP 5100 but unable to do the same via the TC.
1. The time capsule is set up for printing.
2. The printer options 'sees' the printer as an option in the 'add printer' dialog box. So I try to add the wireless printer - and go through to the printer driver section (this works fine when attached via USB). Then the printer name simply does not appear under the Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) option - which was how I set up the driver for USB printing.
3. I have tried closing and re-mapping the USB printer. It works just fine - and the CUPS CAPT option opens up everytime. The same does not happen via the TC - despite the fact the TC is set up ok and it can see the canon printer. It just cannot locate the driver in the same way that it does when linked up via USB.
So after several hours of attempts I am pretty vexed!
Any advice appreciated.

The proprietary Canon CAPT and UFR2 drivers cannot be used when the printer is connected to the USB port of an Airport device or print server. This is a limitation of these drivers and there is nothing you can do to resolve this (at least nothing I have ever found).
For the Canon models with Ethernet, you can connect the printer to the Ethernet port of the Airport device and print successfully this way. But with devices that do not offer Ethernet, such as your LPB5100, then you have no option but to connect the Mac via USB when you need to print.
Sorry for the bad news.

No canon lbp 5100 After installing lion

My iMac does not see my canon lbp 5100 printer after installing lion anymore. I have tried updating the drivers bud dat dit not work. It all works perfectly on my Windows laptop so theres nothing wrong with the hardware. Can anybudy help me?

If the iMac cannot see the LBP5100 when connected via USB cable, then this is not a fault of the driver or Lion but most likely a problem with the USB cable.
Open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select the USB entry in the left column. The top right pane will show all of the USB busses on the iMac and if the USB printer cable is good then the printer will be listed under one of these busses.
Note that the USB printer cable needs to be connected directly to the iMac. If you have a USB hub or some other device between the Mac and the printer then this can cause failure.

Printer driver for canon LBP-1120

Hi guys,
I'm searching for a printer driver for the Canon Lasershot LBP-1120. I've been looking around a bit on google but haven't found anything very helpful.
Thanks.

I don't know how, and if you have to ask, you probably don't, either. Sorry.
If you still have the PC that you can use as print server, try this:

Wireless printing (AirPort Express & Canon LBP 3010) - Help needed!

Hello All,
I have tried to find a solution to my problem in the other topics/post but i couldn't so I created a new one.
I would be very grateful if anyone can give me a solution or at least an advice.
I have purchased a Canon i-Sensys LBP 3010 laser printer (USB connectivity) intending to attach it to the AirPortExpress i already own. I checked that the printer has Mac drivers. I connected it to the EX and installed the driver (downloaded from Canon's website). Then from System Preferences -> Printer & Fax I clicked the add printer button. The dialog fond the printer correctly and displayed it (also found it is located on the airport express port). Now the problem is the system did not select a driver (none) and i couldn't select it myself too (it didn't exist in the drivers' manual selection list). When i disconnected the printer from the airport and connected it directly to the USB port of my computer (Mac Book Pro 17") and repeated the operation (This time using the manual of the printer for guidance) i added it successfully through the More Printers tab and selecting the Canon USB CAPT driver (obviously the one I initially installed)... The printer works fine that way.
Strange thing is, though the computer is recognizing the printer when connected to the AirPortExpress, the AirPort Utility shows NO printers in the list of connected printers to that devise!
So.. what am i doing wrong?

I think you might be in a tough spot with that Canon laser printer. The iFelix list of printers that have at one time worked with an Airport unit does not list the 3010--
http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1013.html
That's not a list of Apple-supported printers. Apple doesn't print such a list, nor does it really promise that any printer will actually work in this configuration. Some do. Many don't.
One thing you might do is to get another computer and connect the printer to that and 'share' the printer over the network. This might yield success, but I can't guarantee anything.

Looks like you'll have difficulty getting a networkable driver - use this technique:

Cannot print to Canon LBP 3360 since upgrading to Mavericks

I cannot print to my Canon LBP 3360 since upgrading to Mavericks. Would anyone know of a work around for this. Canon is not making any promises about upgrading the driver.

Canon Australia seems to have resolved this issue for all UFR II/UFRII LT printers . Ooof !

Driver for Canon LBP-3000 printer

to all,
i could imagine tha there would be no driver of the LBP-3000 available for mac...
i found a site, saying that there is a CAPT driver from a japanese canon's site. the problem is... the dirver fits only up to Mac OS X 10.4.4... the OS in my macbook is tiger...
what should i do???
thanks!

10.4.4 is Tiger. Current build is 10.4.6. Next one coming up is 10.4.7, so this driver is supported in Tiger.
From MacOSHints:
After months of frustration of having to use Virtual PC running Windows XP in order to print to the Canon LBP 3000, I've finally discovered that Canon has indeed (albeit silently to the whole world) released a CAPT printer driver that works without the ridiculous requirement of having to have the Japanese version of OS X installed. This is not the Linux CUPS version, it is the full LBP CAPT driver made by Canon themselves. Software support: 10.2.8 thru to 10.4.4 (in English)
http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/lasershot/captusbmacx.html
It apparently works with:
LBP-2410 / 1210 / 1120 / 1110 / 1110, Premium / 1110SE, LBP5200 / 5000 / 3600 / 3500 / 3300 / 3210 / 3200 / 3000.
I've tested it with LBP3000 on 10.4.5 (directly and via Printer Sharing). The installer is in Japanese, and it quits all applications and requires a restart, and requires you to manually setup the printer using the System Preferences. After this mild digression, you have full printer functionality and setup options (including toner usage), all in English, and it's nice and fast.
My insanity has now gone, and I can now terminate that unnecessary relationship with Virtual PC for good!
PS: Japanese language skills are not required, just press the default button(s) when installing. If you're looking for an excellently cheap printer, I can now seriously recommend the LBP-3000.

TS3147 Cannot print on network with canon LBP 7660 . Mavericks 10.9.2

Hello since Mavericks Upgrade, no IP print capabilities with Canon LBP 7660 cdn.
Every thing work fine before.
Re installing and upgrading with last drivers on Canon Site change nothing. Re-initialize print system several times...
Nothing works.
It seems the Printer is seeing busy by the mac.
PC on Vista do the job
Apple remains me the the earliest Windows....
What can I do to made the printer work properly ??

It sounds like you created the printer using the wrong protocol. When adding an IP printer on the Mac, IPP is the default protocol set, however this protocol is not compatible with the Canon UFR2 driver. So remove the printer from Printers & Scanners and add again, this time ensure you select either Line Printer Daemon-LPD or HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol.

Printing Problem on Canon Printer

Hi Gurus,
Greetings and Thanks in advance!
I have problem in Invoice printing on new Canon LBP 2900 B printer. Whenever I print on this printer the one character from right side does not print. Whereas if the same printing we are doing on HP Laserjet printer it comes perfectly.
I tried to create a new output device through SPAD in which I have used following:
Device Type: SWIN Windows printing via SAPlpd (since i didnt find Canon printer in the list so i used windows standard)
Device Class: Standard Printer
Host Spool Access Method: G:Front End Printing with control Tech.
Host Printer: _Default
But it was giving the same problem. Please suggest the solution.
Regards
Rajesh

Not printing text-only graphics on Canon. Not printer problem-print ok on Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Not printing text only on Canon--grahics print ok. Not printer problem. Prints ok on a Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Without your printer model numbers, readers can only give you vague general directions.
System Preferences > Print&Fax > ...
... shows a list of all set-up printers.
If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.

Canon LBP 6200d No longer printing on 10.9.5

I have a Canon LBP 6200d compact laser printer and it was working fine with the UK CAPT driver. I must have installed an update form Apple or something and now it no longer works. I removed the driver, added it again, deleted this and that in the /library/ folder and re-installed the CAPT software 3.67 and still nothing. It shows up in the USB discovery. I can add it and choose the LBP6200 UK CAPT selection and then it shown a green light idle online but when I send anything to it the light goes yellow and the job spools indefinitely.
So did Apple "seal" up this loophole of being able to print to a printer that is officially not supported by Mac in the US (It seems to be supported everywhere else).
Thanks!

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Canon MX870 doesn't print text...just images

After upgrading to Snow Leopard (yes I know I'm slow to upgrade) my Canon MX870 isn't printing text. It is printing images but the quality if horrendous because it's not printing the black ink.
Here's what I've done so far
Installed the latest drivers for Snow Leopard from Canon
Cleaned the heads of the printer
Added new ink to all cartridges
Run printing tests (nozzle print patterns)...all good
Reset my printers in the Print Fax Preferences and added in the printer again
Numerous restarts
Now I'm at a loss for what else to do. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
BTW, printer is connected via USB not wireless.

OK well I can see now that all of my files are present on the hard drive (mybook) only they are not showing up in aperture. It seems that there has been some sort of communication breakdown between the two.
As I said several files are missing and or corrupt in my aperture library. I'm wondering if there is a way to rebuild the library without using the vault technique? Does this make sense to anyone?
I was able to go into finder - mybook - aperture library - show contents and see that all my raw files at least are there. Now I just need to get aperture to recognize them.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Problem in Canon LBP 5910 printer in OS X 10.8.3, shows error: 20600

Hi I am using Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8.3, I am getting problem while printing from Canon LBP 5910 printer , the printer driver is installed, but while printing, process will get paused and show error 20600.
I have reintalled the printer but still the problem is not rectified.
Do any one has faced similar problem.
Thank you
Mohit

Thank you for supplying the information.
Your image shows that the driver being used is v2.05, which was not 10.8 compatible. The latest version of UFR2 driver is v2.43, so check the Canon web site in your region for this latest version of driver for this model.
After downloading the driver, delete the current printer/s in Print & Scan that are using the v2.05 driver. Then open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon and trash the UFR2 folder. Then restart the Mac and install the v2.43 driver. When the driver has finished installing, then add the printer in Print & Scan.
