Printer driver: CUPS or not?

How do I know if I need the CUPS driver or the non-CUPS?
I have a Canon MP210 and the Canon site offers both.
My eMac has Tiger and my MBP has Leopard.

Hello Bob,
If you are connecting directly to the MP210 from your Mac, then the non-CUPS driver will do the job nicely.
FTR - the so-called CUPS versions include a PPD, which allows you to manually select the model, which the non-CUPS does not. But, unlike the true CUPS drivers from Gutenprint and PrintFab, the Canon CUPS drivers I have tested to date cannot be used in mixed environments, such as when connecting to a Windows shared printer.

  • HP Printer Driver 2600n is not located in the Snow Leopard OS Upgrade - Fix

    Computers: Macbooks and Macbook Pro
    Printer: HP 2600n
    Wireless Router: Apple Time Capsule
    Network Printer: via Apple Express
    Step 1: Download and install the printer driver 2600n from HP http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en &cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=446153&prodNameId=446154&swEnvOID=219&swLan g=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ly-40466-2
    Step 2: Macintosh HD go to Airport Utility – locate the Apple Time Capsule or Express that your printer is connected to and write down the IP Address: xxx.xxx.x.x
    Step 3. Close the Airport Utility
    Step 4. Under the apple icon go to System Preferences and select Printer & Fax
    Step 5. Click the + like you are going to add a printer. A second window will open up. Select your printer the Hewlett-Packard HP Color Laserjet 2600n printer.
    Step 6. Very important select more printers and then manual. Remember the IP Address I told you to write down, now type that in the Manual IP boxes. Where it says printer right under kind you will see “Not Found” you will need to select in the drop down HP Color LaserJet 2600n. Click add it will take a little while until it identifies your printer.
    Step 7. Just go back to Preferences and select Printer & Fax and you will see the HP Color Laserjet 2600n printer in the idle status. That is it. I’m glad I was able to remember the steps and document it, because it me a long time to finally figure this out. I tried what other people had recommended and it did not work for me. I was able to complete this on one Macbook Pro and three Macbooks. Good Luck!

    I tried this a bunch of times. I put in the IP address and it says "not found" and I can't get around it?

  • Epson Printer Driver v8.31 not showing up on my OSX 10.4.11

    When installing a new Epson Printer Driver v8.31 for my Workforce 630 all-in-one printer on my G5 OSX 10.4.11 Power MAC, along with Epson support on the phone, it is not showing up in my Utilities folder. Epson said I needed to contact MAC about changing some settings. The printer was working fine yesterday but not printing today .... like it wasn't there. After trying several things with Epson Support they said I should download the new driver and, as I said, with their guidance it wasn't showing up in my Utilities Folder. When I called MAC Support they referred me here to avoid paying $50 for their support. Any ideas?

    Whew, Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Then remove the instance of the old one & try adding again.

  • Paper Size Error: The paper size selected in the printer driver software does not match the paper

    HPofficejet 7500 E910
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I see this question several times, and one response asking the person to have patience.. however that was in February - it is now April, and i am not able to locate an actual answer to this question. My printer is also giving me this error (Officejet Pro 8000 -A809w), even though is it very obviously not true. I have unplugged and replugged and restarted, etc. I am trying to print on a regular landscape oriented 8.5x11 sheet of paper. The last thing i printed was a single envelope (also appropriately chosen in page setup), with the paper guides narrowed.. the envelope printed and i moved the guides back to the normal position and replaced the letter sized paper. Now the printer tells me that's not what i've done.
    Running Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3  - it worked fine all day til now. It's done this a time or two previously, but unplugging the printer has solved it - not this time.
    Help!

  • Printer driver in Safari not compatible with Epson Artisan 730 printer

    After being on the phone with Epson for 3 days, it seems as though Safari/Firefox/iMac is missing a driver for my Epson Artisan 730 printer.  Does anyone know how to rectify this? The printer is brand new, operating with Lion and prints out gibberish, 30 pages at a time. Help!

    First some people have had problems getting the printer drivers to update via software update, make sure you have the correct drivers as shown in this table.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
    To see what driver you have go to System Preferences > Print and Scan > into the printer utility and under the general tab you'll see the driver version.
    To force an update delete the old driver
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
    I just resolved a problem with our Epson Artisan 730 and print quality, turns out the USB drivers and WIFI drivers are VERY different and the USB drivers offer much better quality, more options in the print dialog for quality and color management.
    If you already have the correct version of the drivers maybe a mac connected to the printer via USB can share the printer and then you can print with the USB driver. I know that's a pain since that's what we did before we got the 730 with WIFI.

  • I have an 8300 a3 printer driver for vista not working

    hi all
    when i download the driver for the 8330 or 8350 for vista they dont work
    when i opened the startup information is says 5100 series for windows xp does anyone have a solution for this
    thankyou

    Make sure your scanner is on. Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners
    If you've been using your scanner before the update, then you should see your scanner in the left-hand sidebar. (If not, you'll have to add it by clicking on the + sign.) Click on Open Scanner. It will scan, but I would rather not have to go to System Preferences to scan.
    Solution - use application Image Capture, a default Mac app in your Applications Folder. Drag it to your Dock. Launch application. You will find your scanner under Devices. VOILA!
    It's not the same Epson Professional scan window I'm accustomed to using. It's now a part of Image Capture. The Scan interface is much cleaner.

  • Printer Driver issue

    Hi,
    I am using printer HP4000X to generate PCL files. This is an PCL6 printer(HP LaserJet 4000/4000N (PCL6)). When I compiled IFD, i have checked this printer to generate MDF file.
    When i generate PCL file in Adobe central with this MDF file and a dat file, the PCL file is getting generated, but an error file is also generated along with this saying "[247]Printer Driver `hp4000x' has not been compiled into this MDF.". Can anyone please help me on this. I don't want this error file to get generated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I am running into the same issue using Central5.7linux.  I have compiled my template with only two test fields and I have made the .dat file very simple, yet, I am getting the same error:
    2011/10/18 15:31:14 /u01/jetform/bin/jfmerge: [247]Printer Driver `LEX616P' has not been compiled into this MDF.
    request id is pusdlg821-85 (1 file(s))
    2011/10/18 15:31:14 jfserver: [314]Agent exit message: [247]Printer Driver `LEX616P' has not been compiled into this MDF.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  I have even tried removing the Lexmark print driver option by running setup.exe and I still get this error.  I'm not sure how I can be running into this error when I create a brand new .mdf with two fields on it. 
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • Cannot install printer driver powerpc no longer supported, but works on older mac

    Since I use the same driver on an old Mac Book Air, which had a Lion upgrade put on it, whats the problem?
    Yes I have a Dell 3115cn printer, which I use on PC's and My Mac Book Air.  The Air was upgraded to Lion and works fine with this printer... All is well
    So I buy another MAC Book air, which has Lion pre installed on it.  Used migration assistant to copy Mac, but failed.  Could not log into main user, FileVault problem.  So start with a new user on  new mac.  Shame.
    So I go to install the DELL 3115cn driver and I get the message "You can't open the application Dell 3115cn Installer because PowerPC applications are no longer supported".  Which I under stand what it means, but the same driver works fine on the other Lion machine.
    Does anyone know if I can by pass this validation?    surly the message is completely wrong, else it would not work on my older mac (with lion installed)
    May be only the installer is PowerPC stuff.  In which case does anyone know how to copy the Printer driver of the older mac.  Is that possible?

    Hello,
    the problem is not the printer driver that does not work in Lion, the problem is the installer application which seems to be a PPC based application.
    Eventually you may just copy the DELL printer driver itself from the working Air to the system in question.
    You will find the appropriate folder (Printers) either in the user's Library or the systems library, depending of the former DELL installation method of the driver.
    There will be a subfolder named DELL
    As both library's are hidden in Lion you have to use "go to" -> "go to folder" from the menue bar to access the library's.

  • Envelope Data Merge using Word keeps complainging about my print driver

    I'm merging an address list with an envelope to print in Word. I've done this before and not had a problem. However, since I'm using oddball size envelopes (not one of the presets like US Letter), I keep getting this error message when I send it to print: "Paper Size Error: The paper size selected in the printer driver software does not match the paper size IN the printer tray."
    I'm using a HP 5940 Deskjet.
    I've tried creating a custom size and saving it to the envelope template in Word. However, everytime I go back to Page Setup, it reverts to default size settings.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Since Word is not an Apple product, I suggest you head toward the Microsoft Office:Mac forums found at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups
    That group is dedicated to user questions about MS Office:Mac applications. You'll find more answers in that forum rather than an Apple forum dealing the Mac/Windows compatibility.

  • HP 800ps Designjet Printer Driver

    Does anyone know how I can download an "old" print driver that is not longer available on HP to download.  I did an "update" on my computer and it wiped out the driver that I had before and now I cannot print large format drawings in the same way - I don't have as many printing properties.
    The driver is
    PS Driver version 4.30 Copyright 2002-2005
    There is a 4.3 version available, but it is 2006 and it's not what I need.
    Thanks!

    You will generally have better results asking Designjet questions in the Designjet forum here, as there are more experts in Designjets there.  A quick Google search did turn up the following which may meet your needs.

  • Cannot print with Brother HL-2140 (CUPS does not complain) [SOLVED]

    I've got a brother HL-2140 which I've installed according to these instructions: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Brother_HL-2040.  I am using the 2040 driver instead of the 2140 as there are reported issues with the 2140 driver and the 2040 driver is supposed to work anyways. It does in Ubuntu, and according to this Arch user: http://interskh.info/2008/12/install-br … linux.html
    When I go to print a test page, nothing happens and the printer makes no sound whatsoever.

    Downloaded PPD file from here: http://www.profv.de/brother/
    Then, when I went to print, I'd get an error about foomatic.  I installed the following packages: foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, foomatic-filters and it worked.

  • Canon iP2600 Leopard 10.5.6 Cups Printer Driver fix

    I'm running Mac OS X Leopard v10.5.6 and bought a Canon PIXMA iP2600 printer and installed the Printer Driver for OSX (CUPS) Version 10.2.0.0 Released on 09-06-2008, file ip2600sosxcp10200ea8-2.dmg from http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0029255.asp?model=
    Supposedly all I had to do was open System Preferences>Print & Fax and select Canon iP2600 series; however the dialog requires three properties to be set (1)Name, (2)Location and (3)Print Using. The last property Print Using was not auto completed and required me to select a driver. The Canon driver was not showing in the subsequent list. So here's the fix.
    I used an application called Find Any File to search for anything with PPD in its name. This search found a PPD folder inside a Canon iP2600 series 1020.pkg located in /Library/Receipts.
    /Library/Receipts/Canon iP2600 series 1020.pkg/Contents/PPD/
    The CanonIJPPD.tgz is what is needed from this folder:
    /Library/Receipts/Canon iP2600 series 1020.pkg/Contents/PPD/CanonIJPPD.tgz
    To reveal the contents of a package .pkg right-click it and select show package contents.
    Now create the following folders in /Library/Printers/ if they don't already exist:
    I had to create PPDs folder in /Library/Printers/
    Next create Contents folder in /Library/Printers/PPDs/
    Next create Resources folder in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/
    Finally create en.lproj folder in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/
    Now move a COPY of CanonIJPPD.tgz in /Library/Receipts/Canon iP2600 series 1020.pkg/Contents/PPD/CanonIJPPD.tgz to /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/
    Unarchive CanonIJPPD.tgz in /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ should create a file called CanonIJiP2600series.ppd.
    /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/CanonIJiP2600series.ppd
    Now open System Preferences>Print & Fax and select Canon iP2600 series and the third property Print Using should be auto completed with Canon iP2600 series. Add the printer, execute print head alignment if necessary and you're all done.
    Check http://127.0.0.1:631/printers and you'll see your Canon printer listed as a CUPS printer.

    Bumpski. Please any suggestion! Thank in advance.

  • Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

    I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
    On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
    When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
    Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
    On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

    I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
    Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
    If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
    Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
    Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
    - from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
    - go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
    - go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
    Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
    If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
    Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
    1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
    delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
    2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
    delee the PDF port monitor if present
    3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
    again delete and pdf printer subkey
    If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
    Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
    Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
