Networked Canon ir4080i UFR II Nightmare

I'm the only Mac user in a company of about 40 people using a networked Canon ir4080i printer. Getting my computer to print on this machine was not fun, but using some of the forum discussions here I was able to do it. I'm using the UFR II driver. The way it finally worked for me was to, in the Printer Setup Utility, choose Add > Default Browser > More Printers > Canon IP (UFR II). Then I typed in the printer's IP address and I was home free.
The problem now is that it won't always print. We do have a password on our printer that comes up every time you print. So it asks for username and password and I type them in (except sometimes it won't let me type in those boxes unless I tab between them for a few minutes, trying to type in each until finally it lets me type. I have no idea if that is related or just another weird thing). Then the printer monitor opens, as does a little app called UFR II Gauge. Half the time the Gauge thing disappears pretty quickly from the dock and the document prints. But just as often the print jobs just stop. No message or error, it just stops. If I hit Start Jobs the little UFR II Gauge comes back up for a few seconds then disappears and it says Jobs Stopped again. Or sometimes the UFR II Gauge just stays in the dock as well, and if I click on it it comes up just sitting there - not frozen but not doing anything, either.
If a document doesn't print for me once, chances are it won't print again (at least for a while). But I can sometimes bring something else up and it will print fine. Doesn't seem to be dependent on file sizes (I'm the graphic arts guy here so most of the stuff I print is pretty big). It will refuse to print Microsoft Word as often as it refuses to print InDesign or Photoshop.
Sorry if that was way too much information, but does anyone know what's going on with this thing? I've Googled until I couldn't google any more and got nothing....
Thanks,
Noah

Some Clarification (I Think)
After another half-day of testing I think the problem is with a specific document that will not print. It's a one-page testimonial created in InDesign using the same setup as 3-4 other testimonials that print just fine. This one, for whatever reason, stops printing jobs every time I try to print it. I have renamed the document, copied everything out of it into another document and then tried to print that one, altered sections, changed psd photos included in it to jpgs. Nothing works.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Noah

Installing networked Canon printer

I have followed my employer's directions for installing our networked Canon printers. I'm fine until I get to the box that has Canon IP (UFR II) at the top, followed by two places for me to fill in information. I've filled in the printer's address (provided by my employer). My employer is stumped by and does not provide a "queue name." When I leave queue name blank and click Add, nothing happens. Per something I read in this discussion, I tried LP. Clicking Add still got no response. Can someone help?

Be sure you have reset the printing system before installing a new printer. Before adding the printer did you select the proper printer driver using the drop down menu? Have you tried using a queue name (you can assign any descriptive name such as "Canon" with the model number. Stick to alphanumerics, no punctuation other than an underscore (_), no spaces, and keep the name at or less than 11 characters.
It may be easier to add the printer as an LPD printer since you know the printer's IP address. If you don't have the current drivers for the printer then either look for them at Canon's web site, download the recent driver package here, or install the latest Gutenprint drivers (if there's no other drivers available) from here.
Otherwise contact Canon's tech support for assistance.

Printing with Canon MF UFR II 4100 on windows pc shared

In my office i have a PCs working on windows xp and in opne of the PC there is a printer ( Canon MF UFR II 4100 ) attached via USB cable. As i give print command from my Mac book pro Laptop which has operating system Leopard (10.6.8) I am getting an error messge 50. Can any one guide me what to do ?

The Canon UFR2 driver for Mac OS X cannot be used when the printer is shared by Windows. This driver needs to communicate directly with the printer. If you must have the printer connected to Windows then you could try this workaround.

Printing to a networked Canon S9000 mkii from a Macbook Pro

I am using a Macbook Pro connected to a primarily PC network in my office. All of our printers are connected to a dedicated Windows machine on the network that hosts the printer drivers. I am able to print to three other printers just fine on this network except for our 11x17 Canon S9000 pro. I've downloaded the latest driver for Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and basically, once I hit PRINT, nothing happens.
If I go to the dedicated PC, it does acknowledge a print job coming in, but shows it as unknown user and just hangs until I have to manually delete it.
Can anyone determine what might be happening?
Thanks,
Steve

Not knowing how your office network is set up I would speak to your IT person.

Printing with a networked Canon iR 3220 and my Intel iMac

I am at my wits end and I hope someone can help.
I am the sole Mac user in my company. I have a brand new, shiny 24" dual processor (intel) iMac running OS 10.4.9, that is connecting wirelessly to our network. We have a mixture of IIS and Linux servers (I believe the IIS is solely for the Windows Exchange server) Ther are 30 or so printers on the network and the one I am supposed to be printing to is a Canon Image Runner 3220 (iR 3220).
I am no Mac newbie, but I can't get the thing to print correctly. I have updated the driver from Canon (v. 1.70PS) and the PPDs (v. 2.25), followed the instructions and it will not automatically select the correct PPD. When I reset the PPD manually, it spools to the printer, but then stops all my print jobs. I try to resume and it spools and stops.
I have tried adding the printer via CanonIP, LPR, Appletalk (which gets me a message that I am connected incorrectly), setting up a sacrificial altar to the printing gods...nothing seems to work. I've tried using the iR 3200 driver and that doesn't work either.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate any help I can get at this point.
Mike

Hello Mike,
The first thing you need to do is determine if the iR C3220 is using the Canon printer board or the imagePASS-C1/C2 print server option. If you look at the back of the iR C3220, and there is a rectangular box with an Ethernet cable connecting to the copier, and what looks something like a SCSI-2 cable also connected between the white box and the copiers interface board, then you have the imagePASS controller. This device requires a different driver to the PS v1.70 and PPD v2.x you are currently using. It also requires a queue name of 'print' or 'direct' (or 'hold' if you don't want the job to print) and it must be entered in lower case.
Since it sounds like there are PC's on the network, have a look at their printer setup and see which driver they are using. You can also check their port config to see how they are connecting.
If the iR C3220 doesn't have the imagePASS print controller and the PC users have the PCL5c driver installed, then you may find that the iR C3220 doesn't have the PS option - it may be PCL5c only. The easiest way to tell is to open the printers web page (called RUI) by entering the printers IP address in your browser of choice. With the default page open, select Additional Functions and then Custom Settings (you may be prompted for a system ID & password). If you get past this the new view will show if you have PS as well as PCL. If there is no PS, then you will have to look at installing the latest version of Gutenprint and selecting Generic PCL5c as your 'ppd'.
If the PS option is installed, then the v1.70 driver should be okay, although there is a trick to adding it. In the Printer Setup Utility, after clicking Add, select More Printers and then Canon IP (PS). In the new window input the IP address and a queue name of LP. When you click Add the copier is queried by the driver to determine what model it is, meaning that once it is displayed in the printer list it should show the iR C3220. Given that this didn't happen for you (and if the imagePASS is not being used) then a likely cause can be the disabling of SNMP in the copier setup. You may have to get the IT guys to enable this (or at least explain why it is off).
If you go the other way of manually selecting LPD as the protocol (AppleTalk is not supported by the PS v1.70 driver) then you need to ensure that for the print using you select iR C3220 CanonPS for the ppd. If you see Canon iR C3220, don't use this as it is the wrong ppd for the PS driver - it is there as part of the PPD installer.
If you want to try using the PPD, then you can use AppleTalk but of course this has to be enabled in the copier, and if your the only Mac then it is likely that it is disabled. Again the RUI page can tell you this or you can print a Config page from the copier (I think you go Additional Functions > Report Settings > Network > User Data List).
Hope something above is helpful and if not, please reply back.

My MacBook G4 and a networked Canon iR2200

Hi
I am trying to connect to a Canon iR2200 (the name on the faceplate) copier/printer/scanner at my work, and am determined to get the latter two functions to work on my Mac. It si becoming an obsession with me. Please help?
The Canon is connected via an ethernet cable straight to the company's LAN. My PowerBook is too, and I am able to use file services on the Win 2003 file server on the network, print to the Lexmark printer that advertises via Bonjour, use the Exchange mail server, browse the Net, pretty much everything except use the printer/scanner features of this Canon.
I can also connect to the printer via a browser, and there it presents as "Device Name: iR2200" and "Product Name: iR2200".
- Under Device>Protocol, TCP/IP and SMB are marked as active, but NetWare as inactive:
- - Under TCP on that page, "Use LPD:" is "On", as are "Use RAW:", "Use IPP:", and "Use HTTP:".
- - Under SMB, "Use SMB:" is "On", "Server:" has the value of the name of the Win2003 file server, and "Workgroup:" has the value of the workgroup I connect to for file services. "Printer:" is empty and "LM Announce:" is "On".
- Under Add. Func.>Custom Settings>Network Settings:
- - Under "TCP/IP Settings", none of the check boxes for "Enable DHCP", "Enable RARP", and "Enable BOOTP" are checked.
- - Under "SNMP Settings", the "Use SNMP" check box is ticked.
- - Under "Enable Dedicated Port", the "Enable Dedicated Port" check box is ticked.
I found no options for "PS" or "PostScript" on any of these pages.
All my colleagues use Windows, and there, the Canon is presented under "Printers and Faxes" as "Canon iR2220" for some reason. Under properties, "Model:" is "Canon iR2220/iR3320 PCL5e". Which kind of suggests connecting to it as a PS printer from the PowerBook might be less than fruitful.
I have downloaded the 1.60 driver, 1.80 driver, and the 2.10 PPDs. I first tried running System Preferences>Print & Fax and selecting the iR2200-3300 and iR 2220-3320 PPDs in various combinations with Printer Browser>Default Browser, Printer Browser>IP Printer and the following Printer Browser>More Printers:
- AppleTalk
- Canon IP (PS)
- Advanced (holding down 'option' when selecting More Printers), and using the printer's ip address:
- - Canon Mac PS Printer
- - Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP
- - Internet Printing Protocol using IPP
- - LPD/LPR Host or Printer
- - Windows Printer via SAMBA
Most yielded a "The selected printer connection method is incorrect. Select the correct printer connection in Printer List, and then try to add the printer again", some actually printed pages, but only with the text "error courred = -9786", "SYSTEM %%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand]%%" (a PostScript error?) or spewing outr dozens of pages with small scribbles and some but most of them empty.
So, for my sanity: Help?

Thank you for your reply. However, I never did get this to work under Tiger.
Now I have upgraded to Leopard, which went fairly smoothly, all things considered.
While installing, I remembered your post, and selected all HP printer drivers to be installed.
The adding-a-printer ritual has changed under 10.5.1, so this is how the first try went down:
1. Opened a document in "TextEdit" and selected "File">"Print".
2. Selected "Add a Printer" from the "Printer" drop-down menu.
3. Under the "Default" tab, "Canon iR2220" appeared right away at the top of the list, which I found promising, but with "Kind" listed as "AppleTalk".
4. I selected the Canon anyway and, since there was no "HP Laserjet 5 Series, Gimp-Print" to be had in the "Print Using" drop-down menu, I selected "Select a driver to use..." and then "HP Laserjet Series PCL 4/5, 1.3".
5. I then clicked "Add", which closed the dialog box, and then clicked "Print" in the underlying dialog box, closing that one too.
The Canon immediately sprang to life, and spewed out a single page, which reads:
SYSTEM
%%[Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: E&I6D&k12H&IO0 (and this goes on until the end of line)
%%[Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
So that didn't work.
I then deleted this printer and tried again, this time following your suggestions more closely:
1. Opened a document in "TextEdit" and selected "File">"Print".
2. Selected "Add a Printer" from the "Printer" drop-down menu.
3. Clicked on the "IP" tab, and selected "HP Jetdirect - Socket" under "Protocol".
4. There, I entered the printer's IP address under "Address:".
5. There was still no "HP Laserjet 5 Series, Gimp-Print" to be had in the "Print Using" drop-down menu, I selected "Select a driver to use..." and then "HP Laserjet Series PCL 4/5, 1.3".
6. I then clicked "Add", which closed the dialog box, and then clicked "Print" in the underlying dialog box, closing that one too.
Again, the Canon immediately sprang to life, and this time it spewed out...
...my document! Intact! Yay!!
Thank you for solving my problem. I really appreciate it.
Next on the list: Get the scanner to work... Any ideas?

Can't scan from a networked Canon fb630u scanner

I run a linux server with a shared fully supported canon fb630u scanner through xsane,. Linux server configuration is ok, scanning from windows seven xsane-32 application works.
This is the macbook net.conf
connect_timeout = 15
# localhost
192.168.2.21
Ok, now running the command scanimage -L gives this result:
device `net:192.168.2.21:canon630u:libusb:002:004' is a CANON Canoscan FB630U flatbed scanner
So networked scanner is recognized by macbook...
But if i open Image Capture i can't see any devices neither in DEVICES nor in SHARED...
Moreover If i try to scan with simple command line scanimage all works!
So where am i wrong?

First of all, even though you mention network scanning, I am not sure if you have the printer using the internal wireless support or if you have it connected to the USB port of the Airport Extreme. Some users interpretation of network connections vary. So if you do have it connected to the USB port of the Extreme, then scanning is not supported. This is a limitation of Airport devices.
If however you have configured the MP640 to connect to the Extreme via wireless and you are trying to initiate the scan from the MP640 to the Mac using the Scan button, then you need to have the [Canon IJ Network Tool v2.70|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200080802.html] installed on the Mac.
Also, if you want MP Navigator to open when you use the MP640 Scan button, you need to install [MP Navigator Opener v3.0|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200087801.html] on the Mac.
Note that for the network scanner, there should be a separate MP640 entry under the heading of Scanners within the list of devices in Print & Fax. With this MP640 selected, you will have the Open Scanner button visible in the right hand pane. If you click this button, the MP640 scanner window will appear and attempt to connect to the AIO. Does this occur for you?

Cannot Print to a Networked Canon GP200E Printer

I have just connected my Canon GP200E (with a D1/E1 Network Card) to a new network. I have assigned it an IP 192.168.2.253, added the correct Gateway IP address.
I have tried to print from my Mac OSX10.3 computer, but cannot. I have tried using IP Printing, Windows Printing, etc.
I have downloaded and installed the latest printer driver as well.
I have connected a Windows XP computer to the same network and it can print OK.
What would I be doing wrong?
I used to be able to print by connecting the network cable directly to the Mac, but I cannot do this anymore because I need to have the Mac on the network.
Thanks,
Roy

You may want to take a look at this page

Sometimes the que name can prevent lpr printing from working.
There are sniffers listed that a windows box can use to find out the que name or put in something like print_gp200e

Faxing through network Canon 2020i

We have a MFD canon 2020i which is connected on the network through ethernet. This machine has a fax card. I have installed UFRII LT / Fax software. Iam able to print through this machine but not able to fax.
In the Printer / Fax preference, when adding printer, only printer got added and Mac doesnot recoginise this machine as fax device. Any help.
Thanks in advance.

There is a separate Canon fax driver v2.11 for OS X that you will need to install. You run the setup the same as the UFR2 driver and when you create the printer queue, you select More Printers > Canon IP (FAX). Then in the new window, input the ip address of the iR2020 and leave the queue name at CanonFAX. Click Add to complete the queue creation.
To send a fax, select this printer queue, then select General Settings pane to enter the destination fax address.

Macbook not printing to my wireless networked Canon MX860

Hi folks,
This is the set up : I have a wireless router (Belkin) connected to the cable modem. My Dell laptop (pc) connects to the internet wirelessly via the router as does my (my wife’s actually) Macbook.
I recently purchased a Canon Pixma MX860 so that both computers could take advantage of this wireless set up.
The Dell had no problem connecting to the printer via the initial setup i.e with USB and then subsequent wireless connection.
The Mac, however, found the various networks no problem, then found the SSID no problem but then could not find the printer on that SSID. Interestingly the LCD on the Canon, which goes into sleep mode after a period of inactivity, lights up again when the Mac is searching for the printer.
I have tried various suggestions such as removing the router to try and connect directly to the printer, setting up with the Dell turned off, reloading the drivers, downloaded the driver wizard from Canon.
Things I haven’t done… I have not set it up as a shared printer; I have not downloaded “Bonjour” because the printer is not directly (via usb) connected to any of the computers. But maybe these things have to be done????
Any suggestions?

i can't believe how frustrating this is. I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and this printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

I can't print to my networked Canon MF8350 from my imac after Mavericks.

Hello eveyone-
I have an iMac, just upgraded to Mavericks, as well as an iBook. They are both connected to my Canon mf8350 via airport- timecapsule- ethernet. The iMac however connects to the timecapsule over an AE bridge.
Printing worked perfectly before the Mavericks upgrade.
The iBook printed just fine right out of the gate, it uses the old Canon 10.1.0 driver, and I have not touched this.
The iMac spooled its print job, then replied "communication error". I repaired permissions, restarted everything, and same result.
I removed the Canon from my printer list and tried to add it, it was not found.
Updated to Canon driver 10.2.0, printer is still not appearing in the list. Reset the printing system, still no dice. Both Canon MF background items are running according to Activity Monitor.
iBook still prints just fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Matt

Did you add the printer using Bonjour or did you select one of the IP protocols? If the latter, then you cannot use IPP. The Canon MF driver supports LPD or HP Jetdirect.
Matthew Poor wrote:

If you mean that after you change the USE menu to "Select printer software" and the Printer Software window is empty, then try restarting your Mac. This can rebuild the printer list.
Matthew Poor wrote:

The new MF v10.x driver does not install or use the MF Background process. So this process is a leftover from a previous driver. I would therefore recommend you trash the older driver files and run the v10.2.0 driver installer again.
Depending on the version of driver you had installed prior to upgrading to Mavericks, the name of the folder can be different but will reside in /Library/Printers/Canon. Here you will see BJPrinter and IJScanner. Leave them alone and just remove the one or two that have MF in the name.
You then need to navigate to /Library/Launch Agents/ and trash any Canon plist file. Then restart the Mac and run the Canon MF v10.2 installer again and then see if you can add the MF8350.

Cannot add a Canon Network printer to iMac (Intel) OS 10.8.3

I have never been able to connect this mac to the networked printer(Canon ImageRunner Advanced C5045). The printer is detected as a printer nearby connecting through bonjour, but it won't print with the updated drivers, it wont print with generic drivers. I've added it by IP address, by advanced settings with IP address, When I use the canon drivers, it gives me a driver error -50. When I use the generic drivers it says its connecting and says it sent the prints, but nothing comes out of the printer. I'm kind of at a loss. Any suggestions? Please?

been sitting here non stop for two days trying to make it work.
Under Adding it by default:
Ive used the canon driver UFR II (both US and UK) 2.43 which is supposed to work with 10.8. This leads to an error "Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information." Ive used the generic PostScript printer driver and the generic PCL printer driver. These say they have printed - but nothing comes out of the printer.
Under adding it by IP
Ive used IPP with canon drivers/generic drivers (canon drivers error -50 - generic drivers say they have printed but nothing comes out) Ive used Jet Direct with canon/generic drivers (no results) Ive used LPD with canon/generic drivers (no results)
Under adding it by windows
I've found what I believe to be the printer, but it asks me to log into the printer with a user name and password - I dont have either and didnt need any such thing to set it up on the windows machine right next to it.
Under adding it by advanced
under canon CUPS BDL - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct IP - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct USB - got error 50 and Printer is not responding.Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again.
under canon UFR - got error 50
under IPP - got couldnt connect would you like to continue - yes - says printed - no results
under IPP (http) got error -50
under IPP (https) - got error 50
under IPP (ipps) got error 50
under Jet direct - got no results
under LPD/LPR - got no results
under windows with spoolss - got log into printer with user name and password - followed by error -50

MacBook Pro 5.3 does not print to Canon iR C5180

I'm writing on behalf of my coworker who has a MacBook Pro 5.3 with Snow Leapard (10.6.2) has not been able to print to our Canon iR C5180. Our IS team had Ikon/Canon come out and upgrade software on the printer and also, they have found the latest drivers (Canon iRC5180 UFR II (US)) and installed them on her MacBook but it doesn't still work. We are very frustrated!
A generic driver did print for a while, but now we can not get any generic drivers to work either. The Canon iR is used by a majority of PC/WIN folks in our network so us few apple users (only 3) are rare. My Dual 2 Ghz PowerPC, 10.5.8 works fine with an older driver -H1 PS Ver 1.0
Any ideas??

Louis123 wrote:
Yes, our iR C5180 does have the imagePASS-H1 connected. I also forwarded your message to our IT support person and they stated,
"The UFR2 driver is the only one that supports PINs. Any other driver won’t be able to print in color because of that."
This is not true. The H1 does support PINs (called Department ID management on the copier). With the H1 v1.0 driver, you use the Owner Information menu to enter the Department ID and Password set in the copier.
The other thing they need to be aware of is that the UFR2 driver will not work when the imagePASS is connected. The UFR2 driver is designed for the Canon board only. Once the imagePASS is fitted, the Canon board is taken out of the RIPping process.
To ensure the SL user gets the correct driver to match the system version being used on the imagePASS, they can connect to the H1 by typing in it's IP address into a web browser. From the H1 web page, they select the Downloads tab and here they will see the H1 PS driver for Mac OS X.
With this driver downloaded onto the SL Mac, there are now several things needed to get this driver installed and working correctly.
*Driver Installation*
In order to run the EFI installer on Mac OS X 10.6, you need to have the Rosetta emulator installed. This is due to the EFI driver installer being written in PPC code. A default install of Mac OS X 10.6 will not add the Rosetta emulator, so when you attempt to install the driver a message will appear asking if you want to install it. Click the Install button.
On a Mac that has a connection to the Internet, Rosetta will be automatically downloaded and installed before the initial execution of the Fiery printer driver installer. If the Mac has no access to the Internet, the user will need to load their Snow Leopard DVD and manually run the Optional Installs package.
*Printer Queue Creation*
With the printer driver installed, you can now create a network print queue. Click to Add and select IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol. In the Print Using menu, select "Canon iR C5180-H1 PS Ver1.0".
With the printer queue created, when you attempt to print using the driver an error message appears stating that the software was not installed correctly. The error message displayed is caused by a permissions issue with a EFI plugin, fierycupsfilter. The CUPS error log confirms the cause of the error;
Filter "/Library/Printers/Canon/PS3/Filters/fierycupsfilter" for printer "CanoniR_C5185_H1_PS_Ver10" not owned by root
EFI have released a patch that will change the permissions on the PS3 folder to stop this error from occurring. This patch is designed to work with the System 6 and later RIPs whose driver installer creates this PS3 folder. The patch can be downloaded from EFI.
http://services.efi.com/support/drivers/download2.asp?oem=efi&sys=Applemac_osx106&ver=NA
*Driver PDE Plugin Incompatibility*
Now that you have managed to install the driver and print without the error message appearing, another issue may appear when printing from 64bit applications, such as Safari and Preview.
When you select to print and change the print dialog menus, you will see a line through the Fiery option (known as stike-through). This is the result of using a 64bit application with a 32bit plugin. The solution is to set the 64bit application to open in 32bit mode via the Get Info function for the 64bit application.
Hope this helps you with getting your colleague printing from Snow Leopard. Of course, reply if needed.

Unable to connect my Macbook to a network printer

Hi,
My problem is specific to Canon iR2016 printer model which is connected to a router which in turn is connected to a wireless router. I want to connect my macbook pro to this printer, which somehow I am not able to.
Till now I have gone to "Print & Fax", clicked on "+" sign, then clicked on the "Windows" tab. There I can see the network printer listed. I select it, then asks for software driver or printer model. Now here I select Printer model, but my model iR2016 is not listed. Then I select generic Post script printer and Add. The printer gets added, but when I print, nothing prints. I also tried with generic laser printer option, but no luck.
Look forward to feedback.
Thanks.

Checking the Canon Australia web site the iR2016 lists UFR2 and PCL5e/PCL6 as supported print languages. Postscript was an option and given that the Generic PS did not work then it would be safe to assume that this option is not installed.
If you have installed the UFR2 v1.80 driver then you add this printer by selecting More Printers > Canon IP (UFR II). If you have installed the v2.xx driver then you simply select IP > LPD for the protocol. This then requires you to enter the IP address of the iR2016 and then you can browse for the iR2016 in the Print Using menu. However this is for a direct IP connection. You cannot use the UFR2 driver via the Windows share, which you mention trying.
So if the printer has its own Ethernet connection to the network then select to add the queue using IP > LPD, enter the IP address of the iR2016 and in the Print Using menu type 2016 to filter the list to the correct model. It should show UFRII in the name. Select this and you should be able to print.

Networking - unable to connect a macbook w 10.9.2 to Windows 2003 network

Hello,
I've never had this issue on a Mac before.
The machine must run on a wireless network.
I enabled that, making sure it could ping internal and external IP addresses.
It gets an address via DHCP, can access external sites, and can ping internal ones.
So, I went to join it to the intranet.
Despite specifying the preferred ADC (used "Active Directory method to try to connect), via IP address, every time I go to bind the machine to the network I receive this error:
"authentication server could not be contacted"
We don't use LDAP at this site.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Checking the Canon Australia web site the iR2016 lists UFR2 and PCL5e/PCL6 as supported print languages. Postscript was an option and given that the Generic PS did not work then it would be safe to assume that this option is not installed.
If you have installed the UFR2 v1.80 driver then you add this printer by selecting More Printers > Canon IP (UFR II). If you have installed the v2.xx driver then you simply select IP > LPD for the protocol. This then requires you to enter the IP address of the iR2016 and then you can browse for the iR2016 in the Print Using menu. However this is for a direct IP connection. You cannot use the UFR2 driver via the Windows share, which you mention trying.
So if the printer has its own Ethernet connection to the network then select to add the queue using IP > LPD, enter the IP address of the iR2016 and in the Print Using menu type 2016 to filter the list to the correct model. It should show UFRII in the name. Select this and you should be able to print.
