Printing Error with Canon MF6500

I'm trying to print with my Canon MF6500 but I keep getting a printer error saying that there is an error in the connection. The strange thing is that it was working fine a couple days ago. Here are a few things:
Things I've Done:
-printed using another macbook with the same USB cord (worked)
-uninstalled and reinstalled ALL printers (did not work)
-downloaded the driver from the canon website (did not work)
-used multiple USB cords
Things that might have caused the problem:
-Used a Canon Pixma iP1800 to print
-Used a HP photosmart C1300 to scan and print
another thing to note is that when I install the printer it doesn't automatically detect the software anymore, I have to select the proper printer driver (Canon MF6500 UFR II)

anguonly wrote:
Maybe the process "UFR II BackGrounder" is the problem but I don't want to shut out something important
The Backgrounder service provides communication between the UFR2 driver and the Mac. If this service fails to run and connect to the printer then it will cause errors, such as the one you are having. You could look at stopping this service, it will restart by itself, or restarting the Mac will do the same.
With all that you have done so far I suggest you look at removing the UFR2 driver and associated files and then install v2.21 again. First remove the existing MF6500 printer queue in Print & Fax. Then trash the following files;
System Volume/Library/Printers/Canon/UFR2
System Volume/Library/LaunchAgents/jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist
System Volume/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/CNTD**Z*2.ppd.gz
Where * indicates a character string that represents the printer model, and 2 indicates a character string that represents the corresponding language.
Then restart the Mac and install the v2.21 UFR2 driver.

Printing problems with Canon Pixma IP4700

I used to use a PC, photoshop and my Canon pixma IP4700. With this i could achieve perfect results on an A4 image. I have embedded the correct paper profile and my colour management system was set up just right. I have now upgraded to a mac(running Snow Leopard OS) , but i am now getting problems with my prints. I opened up the exact same .psd file without changing anything and sent it off to print on my canon. The result has came out far too bright?. When i used my PC I would have a lot more controls within my printer driver screen, but now with the mac the printer driver screen dosnt have very many controls at all. Even when i soft proof the print on the print screen it dose not show it any ware near as bright as the end result print.
I am a student of photography and i have asked a few of my class mates and they say that they have had the same problem. They tend to use a professional printers, but as i had received such perfect prints before I know this result is obtainable.
Is there anything anyone can suggest to help??
If there is any more information i can provide to help just let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi there,
In reading your post I'd be curious to see the cups error log. Given that the Gutenprint drivers would not print also, I would say that something is wrong with the core printing system. The log would show which filter is causing the spooler to stop.
Thinking that it is CUPS related, I would try resetting printing system (if you haven't done so already). Then I would add the queue again using the Gutenprint driver for starters. If this doesn't work then no need to try the Canon driver.
Note that the Canon test print is not an actual print but an instruction to output the inbuilt data. But the test print via the Gutenprint printer queue is a page generated by CUPS. So this would suggest that the CUPS usb backend is okay and something further up the spool creation process is failing. Again, the cups error log would give some clues as to what is going wrong. As to why both driver sets are failing is interesting...

Photoshop CS 4 Print problem with Canon copiers via IP

Try to print from Photoshop CS 4 to two Canon color copiers and we get this error message, "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer"
Fifteen Macs:
Mac Pro towers, MacBook Pro, PowerMac G5 towers, iMac Intel, PowerBook G4. Many of each.
Mac OS 10.5.7 or .8 and one Mac with 10.4.11 just to eliminate the 10.5 question.
Canon Color Copier iPR Server, Canon Color Copier iR C3220, HP LaserJet 5000, HP LaserJet Color 5550 and ColorBurst RIP to an Epson Stylus Pro 9800.
Adobe CS3 Design Standard & Premium, Office 2004, Safari, Firefox Entourage and Filemaker Pro 9.
All the above Macs and applications can print to all printers with no issues.
Installed Adobe CS4 Standard & Premium on the Mac Pro towers, MacBook Pro, PowerMac G5 towers.
Photoshop CS4 will not print to the two Canon copiers. It will print to the other printers. Photoshop CS3 on these same Macs WILL print to the Canon copiers. All the other apps will print to the Canon copiers.
Adobe has a tech note on this, ID KB409119 did not help.
Deleted all prefs, created new users, deleted and reinstalled Adobe CS4, deleted all printers, downloaded latest drivers and installed printers fresh.
None of this worked. Not to mention this problem is different from that tech note because Photoshop CS 4 will print just fine to the other HP printers.
Tried setting up the one Canon Color Copier iPR Server using Appletalk. That worked.
Why is there a problem with Photoshop CS4 and Canon IP printers?
Just to recap for you all that just skim thru this:
All Macs did this at once. So no fluke corrupt file, plus all the other apps print just fine to these printers. Adobe has problems with CS4.

Try running a reset printing system. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Then hold down the Control key and click your mouse in the Printers list. A menu showing Reset printing system should appear. Click this.
Now restart your Mac and then add the Canon driver again. Hopefully this gets things working for you again.

Problems printing wirelessly with Canon PIXMA iP4500

I have a MacBook Pro 15 in 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb RAM and I’m running Mac OSX 10.5.7.
1. My Canon PIXMA iP4500 inkjet printer used to work perfectly as a printer attached to the USB port of my Airport Extreme Model A1034 modem, when my computer communicates with the modem either wirelessly or via an ethernet connection between the computer and Airport, but lately it isn’t working.
2. When I try to print the printer icon shows up in the dock and when I click on it a Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box pops up and says the Printer is Ready but the status of the document is “Stopped”.
3. If I click on “Resume” and error message appears: “Operation could not be completed. client-error-not-possible”. This happen repeatedly.
4. I recycled the modem, turned the printer off and on (and did those things in reverse) and ran Airport Utility, all to no avail. I also deleted the printers in my Print & Fax System Preferences dialog box, downloaded the latest CUPS driver from Canon (ver 10.1.0.0), and recreated the printer (called Canon iP4500 Series).
5. Network diagnostics says it can connect to the internet over either my airport or Ethernet connection but it cannot connect to the Canon iP4500 series.riousbprint.tcp.local.
6. Also when I run the Canon IJ Printer Utility from the Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box a Printer List dialog box shows up with no USB-attached printers listed
7. I can print if I connect the printer directly to my MacBook Pro, so I don’t think it’s a driver or USB cable problem. Curiously, when I connect the printer directly to the computer the Print & Fax dialog box automatically creates a second printer called Canon iP4500 series-1. If I use the original Canon iP4500 Series printer in this setup it says “No pages found”.
Basically I’m stumped at this point and would appreciate some help. Unfortunately, I’m on a 3-mo sabbatical and do not have my original Canon printer software with me so I cannot reinstall the printer app unless someone knows how I can obtain it. Similarly I cannot reinstall Leopard either, though it doesn’t seem likely I should need to. Happy to try anything else though.

Hello Basil and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Reading your post, it would suggest there is a problem with the USB of the Airport Extreme, but I don't believe this to be case as there is not much that could go wrong with them. Instead I think there is something not right with the transport (TCP) protocols that get the data from your Mac to the Airport USB.
At this stage, I suggest you look at installing version 5.23 of the Gutenprint driver. This version supports your iP4500 and will help to narrow the cause of the current symptom.
Before installing the Gutenprint driver, I suggest we trash all the current Canon drivers you have installed - we can add them again later if need be.
Open Finder and navigate to Mac HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter. Trash all the contents of this folder and empty the trash.
Next, navigate to the Mac HD/Library/Receipts folder. You will see the Canon iP4500 xxx.pkg and another one for the CUPS driver you installed. Trash both of these and empty also.
Now open System Preferences > Print & Fax and delete all the Canon printers in the list (highlight and hit ' - '). It would also be handy to reset the printing system, so while in Print & Fax, move your mouse over the now empty printers list, hold down your Control key and click (or right-click if you can). Click on Reset printing system when it appears.
Now install the Gutenprint drivers. When this is done, restart your Mac and try adding the iP4500 again. This time, after you select the Airport shared printer, you will have to open Print Using and search for the 'Canon iP4500 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'. Select this and now try printing. Let me now the result.

How can I fix this printer error with Samsung SCX-4300 and SCX-4521f on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have two printers installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit):
1. Samsung SCX-4521f
2. Samsung SCX-4300
There are two computers (Windows 7 Professional, 32-Bit) connected to this server that utilise these shared printers.
The drivers installed are as follows:
SCX-4x21_Win7_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7 3.04.96:03 Print Driver 11 Dec, 2009 12.37 MULTI LANGUAGE)
SCX-4300_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit) 3.04.95:07 Print Driver Jan 19, 2011 53.07 MULTI LANGUAGE)
After printing documents for some time (within a 24 period) the printers no longer respond to print requests.
On the server opening "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers" shows the two printers with yellow exclamation marks.
The "SCX-4x21" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting" and "Printer: Error".
The "SCX-4300" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting".
Neither will print a test page.
Searching for new drivers automatically returns saying: "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
The error persists and nothing will print.
When double-clicking on the "SCX-4x21" printer (or going to "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers\Samsung SCX-4x21 Series") you see the following:
"Printer: Error" and "N document(s) in queue".
Clicking on either of these brings up the print queue and shows a document with the status of "Error - Printing".
As each job with an error is cancelled the next one attempts to print and also displays an error like the last.
Once all the jobs are cleared the printer information says "Printer: Ready".
Sending a "Print Test Page" sends the printer into an error state saying "Printer: Error".
With the "SCX-4300", sending a "Print Test Page" displays a bubble saying: "Toner Empty: Replace Toner".
However, I can't see any specific error messages.
How do I find out what exactly "Needs troubleshooting"?
Please can anyone advise further?

The printer (SCX-4300) has stopped again.
Since it has been stopped I have done your recommendations:
Unticked the "Enable bidirectional support" option under the "Ports" tab in the printer properties.
Set the "Interactive Services Detection" to Automatic and started it.
Unfortunately the printer did not start printing, the print jobs did not restart or delete.
I decided to check the Operational logs that we enabled.
The first job I see goes like this:
Information: Rendering job 41.
Error: The print spooler failed to delete the file C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\00041.SHD, error code 0x2. See the event user data for context information.
Information: The print job 41 was sent through the print processor SSE1MPC on printer Samsung SCX-4300 Series, driver Samsung SCX-4300 Series, in the isolation mode 1 (0 - loaded in the spooler, 1 - loaded in shared sandbox, 2 - loaded in isolated
sandbox). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0x0.
Information:Printing job 41.
Information:Spooling job 41.
This job actually printed.
Other jobs printed fine with no error.
There are no other errors in the "Operational" log other than the "print spooler failed to delete" error.
Any ideas what to try now?
Update: Unticking the "Enable bidirectional support", clearing the print queue and then trying again seems to have fixed the problem for now.

Blue prints purple with Canon ICC profiles

Hi,
I am printing a "printer evaluation image" (http://www.outbackprint.com/printinginsights/pi049/essay.html) with my Canon Pro 9000 (Mk I). When selecting System Managed on the ColorSync option in the print dialog everything prints perfect. (Of course I have selected the correct paper under media in the driver)
When selecting the paper ICC profile in the ColorSync option blue turns into purple in the printer dialog image, same things goes for the print (at least it matches...). All other colors, skin tones etc looks perfect.
So it seems to me like everything is ok as long as the printer handles the color management, but when Aperture 2 handles it something goes wrong.
I have spent several hours googling the problem, as well as double checking all setting, driver version etc. I have tried different papers and the problem is consistent. Both OSX and Aperture version is up to date.
Anyone with similar problem? Is it an Aperture problem or is it the Canon ICC profiles?
Thomas

Hi,
Here is an update for those who are interested:
I believe I have been able to isolate the problem to Aperture. This is what I did:
Step 1). Used Keynote to make a 100% Blue square and exported that to a 16-bit TIFF.
Step 2). Imported the TIFF into Aperture, used the DigitalColor Meter utility to ensure it was 100% Blue. Print: Selected the Canon Pro9000 PR1 Profile, In the print settings selected Photo Paper Pro II and set quality to high. Preview is purple AND print is purple.
Step 3). Then imported the TIFF into Pixelmator, again with DigitalColor Meter utility ensured that it was still 100% Blue. Print: Under Color matching menu selected Color Sync and Canon Pro PR1 Profile, under Quality and Media menu selected Photo Paper Pro II and set quality to high. Preview is Blue AND print is Blue!!
To me this seems to indicate the following:
1). The Canon driver is good - Works perfectly with Pixelmator
2). The Canon Pro9000 PR1 profile is fine - works perfectly with Pixelmator
3). The Printer is fine - again... Pixelmator
4). Even though my system is not color calibrated, it is quite good - Preview match print with Pixelmator.
That leaves Aperture and how it handles ICC profiles with the Canon Pro9000 driver...
Anybody else able to confirm this?

10.6.7 update printing problem with canon ipf700

After the last os x update i can't print with canon ipf700
No new drivers in canon site
Any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sometimes what you need to do is clear the print queue in the Printer System Preferences, sometimes what you need to do is reinstall the latest printer drivers. Sometimes open source drivers work*:

I don't have an ipf700, but my MX700 works in 10.6.7 if it is any consolation.

Printer error with InDesign CS4

I have the Adobe Master Collection installed on Windows 7 64bit (Pruchased through MS Volume License). Before installing windows 7, the system had Windows Vista Business 64-bit installed and had the same problem, so it is not OS related. Connected directly to the computer via USB cable is an HP Design Jet 130. All programs are able to print to it without any problems including Photoshop (64bit), Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator (32bit), Excel, Word, etc. However, when trying to print a document from InDesign, I get the following error:
print driver host for 32bit applications has stopped working
After click ok, the printer selection box comes up, with the post script printer selected. When you go and try and change the printer to ANY other printer including the DJ130, I get the following error:
Printer selection failed. Restoring the previous selection.
I am still able to print documents from InDesign by saving them as a PDF and then opening them and printing them with Adobe Acrobat Pro, however, I should not have to do this, and this can become very time consuming. The printer is also shared on the network with two other computers and they have no problem printing to it from InDesign. Before I installed Windows 7, I completely un-installed the Master Collection. After Win7 was installed, I re-installed the Master Collection, and I was able to print perfectly from Adobe InDesign. It seems that one of the updates breaks it's printing capabilities with this printer, or at least on this system.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, or are there any other things that I can try to resolve this? I have 8GB of RAM in the system and don't really see switching to a 32 bit OS to be an option as I would loose the ability to use 1/2 of my memory.

I am having the exact same problem. I have Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and Design Premium CS 5.5. InDesign is the ONLY program that will not print to any printer. I get the "Printer selection failed." error every time I select any printer, even the Adobe PDF one. I have a Brother printer, an HP Plotter, and even an Oce copier/printer. InDesign gives the error no matter what printer is selected form its own list. Photoshop and Acrobat do not give me any issues, nor does any of the MS Office programs nor Autodesk softwares. It's only InDesign that fails. Reparing doesn't do anything and reinstalling every printer driver is pointless because it's only InDesign that produces the error.
Does anyone know what to do to fix this?

Printer Error with Shared USB printer

Greetings;
I have just installed my HP 7760 on my new G5, and I am attempting to print via shared usb to my G3 Imac which is running 10.3.9 I have used this setup lots in the past but with both MAC's running 10.3.9, Now all I get is "Print Error"!
I can see the shared printer on the G3 and select it on the G5 but it just results in a print error when I attempt to print.
Any thoughts would be most helpful

Hi Greg;
Many thanks for your interest in my problem. I have done the following;
1. Installed the latest drivers from HP on both machines
2. Removed and then added the printer.
3. Repaired permissions on both computers and restarted.
This seems to be related to 10.4.3 as I have read some references to this in other threads. Prior to the G5 with 10.4.3 I was printing with the G3'es under 10.3.9 using USB sharing with no problems. I have no problem printing from either computer when the printer is connected directly and I can see the shared printer in printer setup and have no problem selecting it however I am still getting the "print error" when printing to the shared printer.
I am going to try one more experiment, I no have the printer connected directly to the G5 with printer sharing turned on. I will try to print to it from the G3and see what happens. I will post the results when complete.

HP LaserJet Pro 300 color MFP runs cleaning and Mis Prints Error with Printing above 5 pages

I have an HP Pro 300 Printer with New genuine cartridges. But when I print or make copies of multi page jobs it always comes up with a message on the screen which says "cleaning" and then give a "Mis Printer Error".The printer is out of warranty. The Print quality is excellent but the error it gives all the time is a major problem. Has anyone solution for this? Please help! Thanks

Restoring the defaults doesnt usually purge out the memory of a printer. You need a cold reset to complete that proceedure.

Officejet G85xi printer errors with Windows office 8

I recently purchased a new PC with Windows 8. I downloaded the most current drivers for my Officejet G85xi. Each time I try to print I get one or two good pages and then the printer stops and an error pops up in the control menu.

I used the G85xi without issues (other than paper supply out) using Window XP on older PC. The printer has not worked properly since it has been connected to HP Envy 700-074 running Windows 8.1. When I am lucky I get 2 full pages of print before "print error" appears. I have tried Printer Doctor, deleting the printer and re-adding it, set higher priority, checking USB 2.0 port connetion, etc. It usually will finish a text document not much more than a single page, but PDF documents are very limited. I have spent hours trying to print one 9-page PDF document. Should I ditch what was a wonderful printer? Should I ditch a new HP PC with Windows 8.1? Even if I buy a new printer, can I trust it will not stop printing on page 2 or 3 in the middle of the page?

Printer error with HP Laserjet 6L and Windows 7

I have an old but still functional HP Laserjet 6L (from the late 1990s), which is connected to a new computer running Windows 7 via USB. Windows 7 found the necessary drivers, but I am having frequent printer errors come up in the Printer queue, and the machine refuses to print. The problem is 'solved' when I restart my PC, and the document then prints. However this is a pain, and I obviously don't want to have to restart every time I want to print.
I would be very grateful for any advice on this. Thanks.

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-and-Digital-Imaging/ct-p/bsc-412

Printer Error with all iWork products

Hi. I don't have a printer attached tot eh computer but I want to save a document as a PDF. I can do this in all applications other than iWork applications. printer Error comes up. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

It seems a bit odd.
I'm able to do that on the iMac intel inside which I uses for trsts.
I never connected a printer to this beast and the Print to PDF feature works perfecly (I didn't try the export to PDF entry).
Sounds as a corrupted file somewhere.
You may try to trash:
