PPD, PS, or UFRII driver for Canon Printers (C5035)

I admit posting this here is a little bit out of frustration, but getting support from Canon is horrible.  We have an imageRunner Advance C5035 witha fiery controller.  I am unsure what driver we should be using - PPD, PS, or UFRII.  There's little information on the support page on which one to choose.
I was told recently I had to get the separate fiery controller driver from EFI (http://w3.efi.com) which I did.  I installed the newest driver for Mavericks from Canon and the printer just prints lots of pages with one line of garbled characters at the top.
Any of you with Canon enterprise printers have any ideas?
If I use the latest driver I get an icon that most resembles our multifunction printer.  If I use an older version, the icon looks more like an old desktop laser printer.

The driver "Canon iR-ADV C5000s-B1 PSV1.0US" with the Fiery Features menu is the correct driver. But I did expect you to have a different icon, as EFI has updated their drivers and now use a printer icon with their logo. I will post an image of that icon when I get to work later today.
As for the drivers that do not have the Fiery Features menu, they are the Canon drivers for the internal Canon controller in the imageRUNNER copiers. When you selected to add and saw the two models after entering 5035 as the filter, the one listed with PS in the name is the Postscript driver and the other one is the UFRII driver. The UFRII driver does not work at all with the imagePASS controller, as you have found. And the Canon PS driver, even though it is Postscript and the imagePASS supports Postscript, is not compatible. So you must use the Canon iR-ADV C5000s-B1 PSV1.0US driver to print to the ADV C5035 that has an imagePASS-B1 attached.
It sounds like you are able to print fine using the B1 driver. Do you have an issue with using this driver?
No I don't.  I've had so many various issues with Canon drivers that I sought to use the latest driver and was dumbfounded why I can't use the latest 4.2.0 with OS X Mavericks.  So it seems that the only working driver is the version 2 one, an older one.  Some people in the office oddly have only had success using the OS X generic printer driver; again why I was hoping to get this newest one working or rather trying to figure out why it's not.
Here's the icons I have - tope one is older version 2 driver that works.  Bottom is version 4.2.0 driver that doesn't work properly.
Thanks anyway.

  • Apple 's new drivers for Canon printers

    Apple has just released new drivers for Canon printers. I have an i9900 inkjet printer which is not listed in the supported printers. Will the driver work for me or am I out of luck?
    Thanks.

    The driver update is supplied to Apple from Canon, who has made the decision to end support for the i9900. They actually ended support several versions previously.
    So to print from Mavericks to the i9900 you can download and install Gutenprint v5.2.9 which lists the i9900 as a supported device.

  • Missing raw file driver for Canon S90

    I miss raw file driver for Canon S90. The software delivered with the camera works, but it doesn't work in finder, Aperure and so on, just in Canons own software. When will the driver be available for SL?

    Apple hasn't said anything about it, but they're always quiet on everything (I think this works to their advantage for new products, but it works to their detriment for product updates.)
    Anyway, they recently released the latest Camera RAW update and surprised a lot of people by not including the S90. Adobe had problems with the S90 -- images would "load" but looked poor. I can only guess Apple also had problems and decided to push it to a later date rather than hold up the whole stack of RAW camera updates people had been waiting on (typically they release an update with support for a list of cameras).

  • Can't use correct driver for Canon MF4140 USB printer shared by Windows XP

    Hi all,
    I have a Canon MF4140 printer connected to my Windows XP desktop machine via USB. The printer is shared and I can see it over the network with my MacBook running OS-X 10.4.
    I've downloaded the OS-X version of the printer driver from Canon, but I can't select it when adding the printer in OS-X, so I can't access any of the printer settings. I've selected the generic driver but that doesn't allow me to do double sided or 2-up printing.
    Is this because the printer driver does not support network printing, as the printer doesn't have a network interface?

    I guess this isn't clear on the iFelix page. To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers), but your model isn't in Gimp-Print. You can look around for other CUPS drivers, but Lexmark hasn't been cooperative with driver writers. Here are the CUPS driver sources:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/
    http://www.easysw.com/printpro/
    http://www.printfab.net/
    You may find it easier to share from OS X.

  • Setting Up Driver for Canon IR 3220

    I'm trying to set up an IP printer with my iMac and am having no luck with the driver. I downloaded the driver and tried adding it in Printer Setup Utility and it won't recognize it. I've heard this is difficult to do but I don't know what else I could be doing to make it work. Any insight?? Thanks!
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    For the iR C3220, there was three print controller options. You had the internal Canon board and two EFI 'Fiery' print controller options. As each is slightly different from the other you need to know which one you have before installing a driver and adding the printer.
    For the Canon board, you either need to use the Canon PS driver (now v1.70) or the Canon PPD installer.
    The Canon PS driver doesn't support AppleTalk, so you will need to have an IP address set in the copier and have LPD enabled. Then on the Mac, to add the printer after installing the driver, you open Printer Setup Utility, click Add then More Printers. Select Canon IP (PS) from the list and then enter the IP address of the iR C3220. For the queue name you can leave it empty or have LP. When you OK this window, the driver will be automatically determined by querying the printer. Now you should be okay to print a test.
    If you have an Intel Mac, the Canon IP (PS) will not appear if you are using a version of the Canon PS driver prior to 1.60 (which is Universal). So make sure you get this version or later.
    If your iR C3220 has a Fiery attached, you will need to get the appropriate driver for the model you have. The driver consists of an OS X installer package which will add all the necessary files and PPD to your Mac. Both Fiery's also support AppleTalk, LPR and RAW, but they have to be enabled if they aren't already. A config page for the RIP will show you which protocol you can use.
    One important point if you use LPR/LPD for the Fiery option. You need to enter a queue name, 'print' is the preferred, and it needs to be entered in lower case. Failure to do this will mean your jobs will never print.

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to install my two printers on mac book pro.
    Problem 1.
    My HP psc 950 printer is only printing in a bad black and white quality - no color at all?? - any idea where I can download a printerdriver that is actually up to date? The one mac book has preinstalled seems not to be the right one?
    Problem 2.
    My may can´t find a driver for my other printer Canon LPB 5000 at all. I´ve already downloaded the canon drivers for Mac book  - so I see a long list of Canon drivers but the LPB 5000 is not there and I don´t find any download of it in the web. I work with os x 10.7 and there is just an old mac driver for 10.6 to be found on the Canon website. I downloaded it but still does not work.
    Hope someone can help. Both printers used to work fine on Windows but I am changing to Mac now and need to get them work.
    Thanks,

  • Driver for Canon c5035i on Mac OSX 10.10

    Hi,
    I am working on OS X 10.10 on  and I cannot connect to a Canon C5035i printer. I have downloaded each and every driver I could on the Canon website but the printer is not recognized. Even by pointing it with its IP address, the driver is not recognized.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks and regards

    This can happen when using the Postscript driver but the C5035 does not have the Postscript kit. So even though you can see the toner levels after adding the printer using the Postscript drivers, it does not mean it supports Postscript. To check if the printer has the Postscript option installed, you can go to the copier and press the Counter Check button. Then on the touch screen, press Device Configuration. You may need to scroll down a page or two. You will see the UFR2 option and possibly PCL. If you don't see PS then it does not have it. So in this case you would need to use the UFR2 driver. Here is a link to the latest UFR2 driver for 10.10.
    If the C5035 does have the Postscript option then the other cause for the print job failing is the protocol being used for the print queue. The Canon drivers support the LPD and HP Jetdirect protocols - not IPP. And there has been some users who have found that the LPD protocol does not allow them to print, while the HP Jetdirect protocol has always worked. So if you cannot remember which protocol you used when creating the printer, then remove the printer and add again, selecting HP Jetdirect-Socket for the protocol.
    The last thing that can stop the print job is Dept ID Management. This is a security setting in the copier that requires you to enter an ID/PIN to make a copy. If this is enabled for printing also, then you have to enter an ID/PIN for all print jobs, otherwise the print job will disappear. To check if you need to enable this setting, open Printers & Scanners and select the C5035. Then click on Options & Supplies and then the Utilities tab. Then click on Open Printer Utility. This will open the Canon Printer Utility for the respective driver. Here you will see a Printer Information button. Press this to open another window which will show if Dept ID Management is enabled. If it is, then it explains why you prints have been failing and you will need to configure the driver to use an ID/PIN in order to print. Reply if you need help with configuring the driver to use Dept ID management.
    If there is no mention of Dept ID in the Printer Information window, and the C5035 does have Postscript kit and you did use the HP Jetdirect protocol, and it still fails to print, then please reply.

  • Printer Driver for Canon i960

    anyone else using a Canon i960 photo printer?  cant find a driver for Mavericks.  Old drivers giving really bad results.  Went to Canon site and it says no driver available.  Have to go all the way back to Snow Leopard to find a driver and it won't work for Mavericks.  Used my printer on Lion and Mountain Lion so I'm not sure what to do.  I assumed Apple would have a driver, but when I went to install, it said no driver found at Apple.  Help!

    I'm not knocking your 10+ year old Canon, because I still use an 8+ year old Epson.
    I do know that some day sooner or later, it is going to have to be replaced. The really sad part is that every time I look at new printers, I shake my head and walk away thinking
    "that cheap peace of junk is never going to last half as long as what I have now"

  • Cannot find the installed driver for Canon Pixma ip6600D

    Hello,
    I'm pretty new with Mac and OS X and got one problem to use a previous installed driver.
    First, please excuse my bad english, I'll do my very best
    I've got a Buffalo Linkstation Live 320GB with implemented USB Ports.
    You can take the USB Port to use with a printer.
    The Linkstation will be a Windows Printserver.
    I've connected a Canon Pixma ip6600D at USB Port one and all works fine with Windows XP and Vista via network.
    Printing with this Network device uses Windows Network-printing like -> workgroup\buffalo\lp (lan printer)
    With Windows this works very well. But now im using OS X Leopard.
    So I've downloaded the Canon Mac OS X 10.5 Driver for the ip6600D (can be used for Network printing) and installed it.
    OS X wants to reboot, so I think the extension is installed fine.
    After this im going to "System adjustments" -> "Printers and Fax" -> "Windows" -> "Workgroup" -> "buffalo" -> "lp"
    The Printer is found and here comes my problem: The ip6600D driver does not appear in the drop down list. Only Gutenprint ip6700.
    I'm able to print with this driver, but it doesn't work very well and im not able to use CD printing.
    So, wehere ist the ip6600D driver? Lost in nowhere?
    If I want to search for the driver, nothing could be found.
    Searching with Spotlight for ip6600 doesn't find something to use.
    Only the installer image of the driver and some web links.
    How do I choose the installed ip6600D driver?
    Thank you much for any help.

    Since there doesn't appear to be an iP6600 driver within the Gutenprint v5.1.3 list, then you could try one of the other iP models, like the iP5200. The key is to find a model that uses the same ink tanks as your iP6600D (and preferably the same engine but that is not as easy to find). If one of the other IP models doesn't help, then you could try the S800. With older versions of Gutenprint I would recommend this model as it would be good enough for text printing, but not that good for images.
    If you are unable to find a compatible printer then you may have to look at changing some things. The Canon printer driver has not been designed to be used on the Mac OS X when the printer is being shared by Windows, hence the need to Gutenprint. If this model is not supported in later versions of Gutenprint, then you could look at using PrintFab (which you will have to pay for) or changing the network setup so that the printer is not connected to Windows, such as getting an Airport Express/Extreme. This would allow both OS's to connect to the printer using the Canon driver. Or you could connect the printer to the Mac and get Windows to connect to the Mac share using Bonjour for Windows.

  • Driver for Canon MF3200 Series?

    I have a PC, a newly-bought Mac and a Canon MF3240 printer. My PC prints well with Bonjour through AirPort Extreme. But there is no available driver of this printer for Mac...
    I would appreciate if Apple team can notice my message, and I am also waiting for discussion!.. because it is really an irony if I install a Windows on Mac(I just joined Mac....), and I don't want to transfer printing files manually from Mac to PC and then print them...
    Thanks!

    There is no Mac driver for your printer. This is not a problem for Apple. It's up to Canon to provide a driver. You should complain to them or exchange the printer for one that has a compatible printer driver.
    There is not Apple team at the Apple Discussions. This is strictly a user-to-user support site. You can leave feedback at Feedback. But it's entirely up to Canon to provide a driver. Apparently they chose not to for the model you have. There are other Canon printers that are compatible with Macs.
