Printer Utility Canon S9000

Hello,
I recently switched over to Mac and I am trying to get my Canon S9000 printer to function properly. I downloaded the print drivers from Canon's site and the printer works fine. The only problem is I can't find the printer utility (I figured it was with the drivers) and therefore can't clean the heads or determine how much ink I have left. Anyone have any ideas? Its suppose to be in the utility folder but I can't find it.

For most of the Canon printers, the utility is part of the driver software. If the printer is connected via USB to the Mac, you should be able to access the utility by opening the printer queue and selecting the Utility icon. Note that this Utility, and therefore the icon, is only available when the printer is connected to the Mac via USB. If you are sharing the printer via Windows or via a print server, then the utility is not available.
If the printer is connected to the Mac via USB and for whatever reason the Utility icon is not available, then you can access the utility via ./Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/Utilities (where . stands for your hard drive). In this directory you will see the Canon BJ (or IJ) Utility. Double click to run the utility, which gives you access to all the maintenance functions.

  • Printing to Canon S9000 Issue - Black Lines - Mac

    All,
    Having some issues (assume Driver) with printing from LR 2.3 and CS3 going to Canon S9000. Printing from Preview is fine. However iPhoto shows the same thing. I am getting evenly spaced (about 5mm apart) thin black lines when printing. It is consistent across different papers, including Canon Photo Paper Pro. I called Canon yesterday, and the fact that Preview works fine would seem to indicate something with the driver and Adobe and iPhoto. I'm not talking a microbanding. These are very distinct black lines. I've tried letting the printer manage the color, I've also tried using profile with the printer. I am using the most current BJ driver from the Canon site for the Mac (Leopard) and the printer.
    Images from QImage on my Windows machine are also fine to the printer with I have it hooked up there.. Could use some help in debugging (hopefully without using up all the ink) :-)
    Also getting occasional random "LR unexpected termination" message after printing.. One time happens, another doesn't.. No rhyme or reason I can see.
    Update: Unexpected Termination seems to happen more often when stacking up a few prints in the print queue.
    Jay S.

    Even worse...
    we have three machines updated today and the exact same problem on each of them:
    Indesign CS3, Acrobat 8
    Printing to Distillers Virtual Printer.
    Previously Pages were PDF-ed in the format they had.
    Now they are NOT - they all are on A4. The PDF-Options of Apple mess up the PDF-Options of Indesign. Apples PDF-Options do no longer ignore the pagesize, but overwrite the Indesign-Options.
    This is a MAJOR bug for us, as any output into high-res-PDF for printing doesn't work via export, but via Printing to Distiller. This is a big big sucky thing, which Adobe or Apple will hopefully fix soon.

  • Choosing the paper type when Printing to Canon S9000

    How do I choose the paper-type setting from the print options menu?
    The Canon OS X manual speaks about a pull down menu which allows for selection of "quality and media."
    I am finding options for printer choice, rendering, layout, print image etc, but nothing that allows me to choice glossy photo paper vs. matte, et al.
    I have also downloaded a canon software update without noticeable difference.
    Am I missing something obvious here?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your response. I am accessing the print menu and subsequent options, but what I see is a window in which the correct printer is selected then below it is a section for choosing layout, then one for margins, rendering, image adjustments, image options. Everything but quality and media.
    If I futz around in I Photo I do see a limited paper choice option from a pull down, so I assume I am still missing something in Aperture itself.
    Thanks.

  • Printer Dialog for Canon S9000 Printer

    I dug out my large format Canon S9000 printer and am having trouble color correcting the photographic prints. Part of the trouble seems to be that in OS 10.6 I don't seem to be able to get the printer dialog box from the printer utility. When you go into the printer driver all you get is Canon S9000 in the box and I don't seem to be able to get into change any of the driver settings. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    I did download the latest driver for the S9000 available, although it is updated I believe only through OS X v10.5 and not 10.6.
    The driver update is for 10.6. If you have v10.36.2.0 installed then at least there should be some level of comparison between my setup and yours.
    I talked to Canon support and they told me that Apple writes the printer drivers for the OS systems and not them.
    This is not true. Canon creates the drivers and provides them to Apple so that it they are available via Software Update.
    Since you are using the same driver from Canon, maybe you could answer some of the following questions: What color space do you use for importing your photograph, sRGB, AdobeRGB, ProRGB, etc.? What color space do you use for viewing your photograph? Do use any ICC print profiles to print?
    For the photo that I used to test, it was taken on my Canon EOS7D and imported using Image Capture. The Get Info for the photo shows the colour space as RGB and the colour profile as sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    For printing I selected the Canon profile to match the Canon Photo Plus Glossy, which is shown as GL3/SG3 in ColorSync. When PS was managing the colour this was selected via the PS print dialog > printer profile. When I selected the printer to manage, I used the Quality & Media tab to select the paper which in turn sets the profile, as seen in the Color Options menu.

  • 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.

  • Having trouble printing over a home network to a Canon S9000 from iMac

    Hello there,
    I recently bought a iMac and am having trouble printing to my Canon S9000 over my home network. If I hook up the printer to the iMac I can print to it, but the PC that is also hooked up to the network can't. If the printer is hooked up to the PC, the PC can print to it, but the iMac can not.
    I downloaded the S9000 driver from Canon and installed it on the iMac. Then brought up the printer in system preferences. I found my printer OK, but I can't seem to find the S9000 driver in the list.
    When the printer is hooked up to the PC and I try to print to it from the iMac this is the error I get: "Error Number : 311 Printer is in use or an error has occurred. If an error has occurred, eliminate the cause of the error."
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Your problem is due to the way that Canon wrote the drivers for that printer. It can be shared to Windows machines if it is on a Windows machine, or to Macs if it is on a Mac. It can't be shared cross-platform. It is not supported by GutenPrint, so there is no CUPS system driver available; if there was, you could put it on the Windows machine and share it, and use the CUPS driver to print on your Mac.
    I'm sorry, but that printer will not ever be able to be shared cross-platform unless and until Canon rewrites the drivers. I'd not recommend holding your breath while waiting.
    The best solution to cross-platform printing is to get a network printer. Many vendors, including Brother, Canon, Epson, and HP, make them, some of them at fairly low (under $100) prices.

  • Canon iP4500 Printer Utility missing/ non-functional

    I own a G5 iMac & MB Pro. Ever since I installed Time Capsule, I cannot access the Canon iP4500 *Printer Utility.* It seems to be missing or has become non-functional. I should note that this printer is plugged into Time Capsule. Any ideas as to what has happened to the utility?

    To my knowledge, the utilities from the printer manufacturers have only worked if the printer is connected to the computer; you could ask Canon, but I expect they'll say that the utility wasn't designed for this type of connection.
    Hope this helps.

  • Printer Utility for Canon i9900 and OS 10.5.4

    I'm having trouble getting my System to recognize the printer utility for my Canon i9900. I can print with the standard mac printer utility but I don't get all the functionality. I've tried Printfab as well, no luck. Any ideas?

    How is the printer connected? Usually the utility will only work if the printer is connected via usb. I don't think there is a Gutenprint driver for this printer, but the utility will also only work when the printer has been added with the manufacturer's driver.
    Hope this helps.

  • Challenges on using Photoshop Element 6, G4 with Leopard and Canon S9000 printer

    Unable to find the Print Dialog Box when using Photoshop Element 6, G4 with OS Leopard(10.5.8) and Canon S9000 printer in order to choose the media type(paper type) to print photos.

    Okay, let's try it this way. You've got that dialog box onscreen. Click PRINT (see circle and arrow):
    Then you should see this:
    Click that arrow and that window should expand to show you this:
    Your actual choices in the last menu may read a little differently but that's the pulldown where you choose.

  • Preview/Image Capture/Printer Utility cannot recognize Canon scanner

    Hey forum,
    I have a Canon MP500 all-in-one. It communicates well enough with my 2006 Macbook to print, but upon attempting to scan via Preview>Import from Scanner, Image Capture, or Printer Utility, it doesn't even recognize that the scanner even exists.
    I have...
    1) Restarted both the Canon and the Macbook
    2) Installed the latest drivers from the Canon website
    3) Deleted and re-added the printer via System Preferences
    Does anyone have any other suggestions??

    Do you have the MP500 connected to the USB port of an Airport device, such as an Express? If yes, then this is a known limitation of the Airport devices, in that they only support printing - not scanning.
    If the MP500 is connected directly to the Mac via USB, then the scanner should be listed with the printer. If you open Print & Fax and select the MP500 in the list, the right pane should show two buttons for the device - Print and Scan, as shown towards the bottom of [this|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771] article. If you only see Print then ensure you have downloaded this version of the [scanner driver for the MP500|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900217401.html] from Canon.

  • Printer Canon S9000 which settings in LR2?

    I wonder if any of you is also using a Canon S9000 A3+ photoprinter and which settings and driver you find most satisfactory.
    Sofar I have very mixed results, which I do not have whilst printing from within another programm like Paintshop Pro. OS is Windows XP Prof SP3.
    Any good news?

    The rest of the story is that my husband has an iMac with also a 10.9.1 operaing system and the Canon S9000 works just fine without Gutenburg etc.
    That is surprising because Canon has not released a driver for a very long time. I wonder what driver he is using? You can check by opening Printers & Scanners, select the S9000 and then click on Options & Supplies. Under the General tab you will see the driver version. What is showing on his Mac?
    Also, did he upgrade to 10.9 from a previous version of OS X? I would expect this to be the case and that he had the S9000 installed and working fine with the older Canon driver.

  • IJ Canon Printer Utility disappeared after I replaced ink cartridges.

    I just replaced the ink cartridges with ones I ordered from eforcity and it prints fine, but I haven't been able to locate the printer utility box ever since which means I haven't been able to check ink levels and clean the nozzles. This is really frustrating because I need to clean the print nozzles now. Every line on my printouts is streaking (half dark / half faded). Help! Thanks.

  • Cannot print to Canon iR3380i after Mavericks update

    We have a small office network.  All machines print to our Canon iR3380i copier.  The iR3380i has a static IP address in our internal network.  All machines currently use OS X Lion.
    I updated my machine (2011 MacBook Air 13") to OS X Mavericks last night and can no longer print.  Here are the error messages and steps I've taken:
    1) First I got "Error 16801"
    To solve this I visited the Canon site to download the latest UFRII driver (v10.2.0) for the iR3380i
    I removed the current printer, updated my driver with the new UFRII driver
    I re-added the printer
    2) Next I got "The printed output may be incorrect because the printer information has not been acquired. Start Printer Utility to get the printer information."
    The only option at this point is to hit "OK".
    3) Next dialog box says "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."
    Again, the only option I got was to hit "OK".
    The printer icon appears in the Dock with a PAUSE symbol and the 1 Job Pending alert.
    Opening the Printer Queue box shows one job in the queue.
    Hitting "Resume" generates the dialog box "Cannot communicate..." again.
    And that's it. I cannot figure out what else to do. Help please!

    I think your issue is that even though you have the latest 10.2.0 driver for 10.9, you added the printer using the previous v2.43 PPD. So open Print & Scan, remove the current printer for the iRC3380 and click the plus button to add again. After selecting IP > LPD and entering the IP address, ensure you select "Canon iR C2880/C3380" in the Use menu. Note that there is no mention of UFRII in the model name, as is the case with the previous UFR2 v2.43 driver.
    Thanks for the suggestion.  I did that this morning (see Step 1) and deleted the existing printer before re-adding a new printer and using the newly updated driver and printer description.  Here's what I get:
    You can see my model number is listed in there as is the the proprietary Canon UFRII language.
    Once added, here's what happens next:
    So it would appear, at this point, that the printer is installed and communicating and that I should be good to print.
    Alas, I get the same error message I've been getting.  back to square one.

  • Can't print to Canon LBP7200Cdn after Lion upgrade

    Since upgrading to Lion, I can't register (and therefore can't use) my office printer, a Canon LBP7200Cdn.
    I tried for weeks to get it to work with the interim driver Canon released with Lion, then gave up and waited for the full driver. Then that didn't work either.
    Installation of the driver appears to work fine, but once the printer is registered, printing from any program gives me the error message "/Library/Printers/Canon/CUPSCAPT/Bins/capdftopdl failed".
    The problem is the same whether connecting via USB or IP.
    I had the same problem when I updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.7, but installing Canon's new driver fixed it. Now nothing works and I haven't been able to print since the summer. No other Mac users are having this problem (but I'm the only one running Lion). Would welcome help from anyone.

  • Canon S9000 no longer works with iPhoto 6.0.4

    I installed 6.0.4 and now, when I select my Canon S9000 in the dialog box and press Print, another network printer {B&W] is selected. I can print to the Canon from other applications, but not iPhoto. Help??

    Bnaysrl:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The printers you use are kept in the com.apple.print.PrinterProxy.plist preference file. You can download and use Pref Setter to see what printers are listed in it for you and try to edit the list.
    Try removing the networked printer from your Print Center and then try a print. If that works then reinstall the networked printer and give it another go.
    If those fail try deleting that preference file and then reestablishing connections with your printers.
    Do you Twango?
