Printing hangs - Canon i9950

I have a Canon i9950 firewired to my Macpro.
When i try and print a multi page document (27 pages pdf file) the printer 'hangs' after about 3-4 pages.
The printer dialog box says "processing page", I can see two of the processors working 100% (using iStats) but no more pages come out and the printer activity light keeps blinking busy.
I repaired permissions, I installed the latest 'driver', but still the same problem.
Any idea why this is happening?

I solved it myself. My Canon was connected to my MacPro through FireWire. I tried the USB connection and now the pages print (although there is quite a pause between each page)

Color wrong when printing to Canon i9950 from CS5 apps and Acrobat, Win7 x64

When printing from InDesign CS5 on Win 7 x64 to Canon i9950 using the Canon ICM profiles (MP1, PR1, PR2, SP1) the colour output is completely wrong!
I disable the printer driver in the print prefs (set to "manual") and under "color management" choose "Let InDesign decide..." (no other option) for "color handling", and choose one of the above profiles for "printer profile", as appropriate to the paper in the printer, and the colours are totally out of whack.
If I just set the output "printer profile" to "Adobe RGB (1998)" the output is much better, but of course it still isn't quite correct, or properly set for the individual substrates, which the Canon ICMs are supposed to do.
Interestingly, when setting output to the Canon profiles, it makes no difference whether the printer manages colour (auto) or not (manual). Also, strangely, these profiles were working fine with CS4, before installing CS5, but now they are not working in CS4 either!
So now "colour management" is a joke thanks to CS5.

You might check with Canon to see if they've prepared any updated printer drivers you can download and install.
Scout around this forum, a number of folks have reported certain Epson models with similar issues. Feedback from Adobe was that they've switched to newer printer interfaces under the covers, and not all printer drivers work properly with those interfaces. In one case at least a new printer had to be purchased to fix the problem.

Won't print to canon PIXMA ix6820

The printer and Adobe elements were brand new. The printer works with

Have you ruled out an issue with the driver for the printer? It is possible that the material on the installation disk was developed prior to PSEv.12. I understand that everything is new, but who knows what the date of production is. You can check on Canon's web site for driver update.

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.
Here's the System Profiler info on the printer:

I'm having the same issue. I've re-installed the Canon software after deleting all of the folders & files that they talk about in the user manual.

Frustrated trying to print from Canon Pixma 9500

Does anyone have any tips for printing from Canon Pixma 9500?
I profiled the screen, printer and paper using colormunki.
Trying to print from photoshop. Frustrated that the printer interface isn't as described in many online forums (for example, it seems impossible to turn off colour management).
Getting strange blue borders around everything when using the paper profiles via colormunki.
Does anyone have any good tips?
.......help.....!

I used colormunki to calibrate my screen, printer and to make a paper profile.
Read one site that suggested the strange blue borders are related to V4 vs V2 paper profiles...whatever that means. Apparently it is an issue printing from photoshop.

Duplex Printing on Canon IX6560 Problem

i've got problem with duplex printing on canon ix6560, i've installed the latest driver from canon website (11.7.1.0) for OSX Maverick (10.9.5). what is the solution ?

First, check the printer specification to make sure it's capable of duplex printing. If it is, there should be a setting in the Finishing tab of the print dialog. Reportedly, Canon tech support sometimes advises customers to uninstall the existing software before installing an update.

I recently updated my computer to 10.6 and now I can't get my printer MX340 (canon ) to work. I have installed the new drivers both from Canon's website and from an earlier post directly from apples website. I would surely appreciate some help with this.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Printing to Canon iPF series

Historically I've always printed from Photoshop via the 16-bit Canon plugin. This works great. I just thought I'd give native Ap3 printing a try for once. After I go through the (awkward, buggy) layout feature in Aperture, it appears to hand off to the OS X print dialog.
There, it appears to have correctly picked up my color profile setting (custom) and my paper type and size (letter cut-sheet). After setting some additional options (media type, resolution), when I hit Print, the Canon monitor application starts and the combination Aperture+OSX Print Dialog locks up. It just sits there with no options in the dropdown. The printer actually lights up as if it's ready to print, but nothing goes over the wire.
I can print okay from other applications using the built-in print driver, so I think it is something with Aperture.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Hello Jeff,
The problem you are having with the Canon PS and UFR2 driver is caused by the Paper Size > US Letter not being listed as a supported paper size. Instead, these two drivers have Letter, not US Letter. Therefore, when you do have the Page Setup > Format set to Any Printer and the Paper Size set to US Letter, the finishing options are not available.
You will notice an interesting phenomena via the Page Setup pane. Open an application like TextEdit, go to Page Setup and have the Format set to Any Printer and the Paper Size set to US Letter. Then change the Format menu to the Canon driver and watch the Paper Size automatically change to Letter.
The solution to this is to delete the CanonPS and UFR2 driver and use the new Canon 'CUPS' PS v2.11 driver. This driver has US Letter as a supported paper size, so you can leave 'Format for' at 'Any Printer'. And the driver supports both the 5075 and C5185, so you models are covered. Note that you will still have to use the Fiery driver for the other C5185.
Re the mailbox, the format setting won't affect this function. Your comment about PCL not supporting it is interesting. The PCL driver on Windoze definitely works with mailbox so you must have some other gremlins if that is not available.

PaHu
