Printing to a Canon IPX 4000 on a Windows PC

I'm unable to find the drivers for this printer. Any ideas? I tried the canon website, but the printer is not showing up on the driver list. Any help would be great.
Thanks,

To use the built-in CUPS networking protocols (Windows Printing or IP printing, for example), you need a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). I think your model is included in an update to the Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers included in OS X, now called Gutenprint:

Then follow this guide:

Hello,
Read much of your posts on networking as well as compatibility reports.
Wondering if you could help...
Couldn't post you directly-sorry:
Have a Netgear WGR614 v4 (with ethernet outs)
Want to purchase HP OJ 6310 (with ethernet port) (Network ready printer)
If I connect the printer to the router, should I be able to print wirelessly over network with Powerbook Laptops?
Or do I need extra hardware? ie print server, apple extreme base station
Thanks very much

HT4507 How do I connect my Canon ImageClass 4000 BW printer on Lion?

Hello every one,
I have a Canon ImageClass 4000 printer which was working fine with my OS 10.6, but since I installed Lion, I can not print. I would really appreciate if you could help me with this. Thanking you in advance.

Sorry for my confusing reply. I had never heard of the imageCLASS 4000 so that's why I thought it was an MF4000 series. Seems like it was only sold in the USA and quite a number of years ago.
So I checked the Canon USA web site and saw the hqx package you refer to containing the old Adobe PS driver for OS8. I also saw an old version of a PCL and PS driver for Windows.
So working on the assumption that the device does support Postscript you should be able to create a printer queue using the Generic PS driver included with Lion. If this doesn't print or simply prints rubbish then change the printer queue via Options & Supplies > Driver to use the Generic PCL Laser driver.

Can print to shared Canon iP4300 via Bonjour - but not with Canon driver

I've searched the forums and therefore know roughly what the problem is, but still need some concrete info please...
Have finally managed to share my Canon iP4300 connected to iMac (10.5.2) via USB and print to it from XP, using Bonjour for Windows. However... when I run the printer assisntent it finds the printer but only offers me the choice of a generic driver. The driver turns out to be labelled "HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS". A postscript driver?!? Well, it works, but I'd really prefer the proper Canon driver (which is already installed - I previously had the printer connected to the PC).
Yet, when I select this driver retrospectively (from the printer-share properties dialogue), I cant print. This, if I understand correctly is because the Canon driver doesn't support Bonjour?
So is there anything I can do? Eg. I've read about the Gimp drivers, but they're only for OSX right?
Maybe this generic "HP" driver will be adequate (haven't printed anything properly yet) but would like to know if anybody has suggestions other than contacting Canon (which I will do anyway).
Cheers

I Have the same Problem as you,
I Have the Canon MP180, and i have the driver on my windows XP Laptop
But when i try to connect to it, using Bonjour (as the printer is connected to the mac) it uses a HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS driver even though its Canon
Does anyone know how to use the proper driver.
It works ok using the HP Driver, but the quality of the printouts from the windows XP laptop seem rubbish
Many Thanks
Alex
P.S if you got this working, can you send me a message back.

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print onto a Canon 5350 (one of the printers ok'd by Apple) I am unable to change the print orientation from portrait to landscape. That is I change it in printer settings but no use.

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print. The printer is a Canon MG5350 (on the Apple approved list) I have no difficulty printing but only in portrait format. I've tried changing printer preferences from my computer but even though the Canon accepts the changes it will not print landscape - can anyone advise please?

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

Not printing text only on Canon--grahics print ok. Not printer problem. Prints ok on a Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Without your printer model numbers, readers can only give you vague general directions.
System Preferences > Print&Fax > ...
... shows a list of all set-up printers.
If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.
Mac OS X 10.6 Help: Resetting the printing system

I cannot print on my Canon MF-4350d after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

I previously had Snow Leopard and printed on my Canon MF-4350d with no issues. After Mountain Lion was installed, I get an error message "Failed to read module. Re-install.: 20600" I went to the Canon website and downloaded the most current driver and reinstalled. It still doesn't work. Is there away to delete the printer info so I can try a clean install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Walt

In System Preferences -> Print & Scan, right-click onto a printer, then click Reset Printing System. Upon confirming your printers and scanners will be removed and you can start from scratch installing them. But before doing so, please note:
Canon printer drivers usually come with the OS and are updated via Software Update. Try that. If no update is available, you can download the latest Canon driver set here.

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...

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 Problem on Canon Printer

Hi Gurus,
Greetings and Thanks in advance!
I have problem in Invoice printing on new Canon LBP 2900 B printer. Whenever I print on this printer the one character from right side does not print. Whereas if the same printing we are doing on HP Laserjet printer it comes perfectly.
I tried to create a new output device through SPAD in which I have used following:
Device Type: SWIN Windows printing via SAPlpd (since i didnt find Canon printer in the list so i used windows standard)
Device Class: Standard Printer
Host Spool Access Method: G:Front End Printing with control Tech.
Host Printer: _Default
But it was giving the same problem. Please suggest the solution.
Regards
Rajesh

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.

Not sure which driver you mean when you say "the driver in the Mac's list". Apple does not provide a driver for this device, so if you mean one of the default printers that are included with 10.6, like the Generic Postscript or Generic PCL, then these will only work if the optional PS or PCL print kits were installed in the machine. Given your inability to print then it would seem that you have neither kit installed. So this would require you to install the Canon UFR2 driver, which you can obtain via this link.
With the UFR2 driver installed, you add the printer using IP > LPD. Enter the IP address of the iRC2380, leave the Queue name blank and change the Name to iRC2380. Leave the Location field blank and in the Print Using menu, browse to the "Canon iR C2380/2550 UFR II (UK)". Click OK and then Add to complete the queue creation. You should now be able to print. Please reply if it does not work.
