Printing to Canon iP4000 after 10.3 - 10.4 upgrade works

I got a new Canon PIXMA iP4000 printer and connected it to my Airport Extreme Base Station.
I downloaded and installed the 2.6.2 drivers from Canon's site on my iMac (upgrades from 10.3 to 10.4). When I tried to add the printer, using the Printer Setup Utility, it would not automatically select my printer driver. Only a list of GIMP drivers would appear for Canon.
I download the latest Canon printer drivers and Bonjour for Windows onto my Windows XP ThinkPad. Installed them both and printing worked flawlessly. I was glad, but not to happy about my Mac.
Next I installed the Canon drivers on my new iBook which came preloaded with 10.4. The printer setup utility found the printer and it's driver just fine and printing worked fine.
I then compared my iBook's /Library/Printers/Canon directory to the same directory on the iMac. There were not a 100% match, and the timestamps on the files did not match up at all. I crossed my fingers and deleted the Canon folder, then reinstalled the Canon driver I downloaded, and rebooted.
This time the Printer Setup Utility found the driver for the Canon and printing works fine now!

Nevermind. I discovered the problem was not properly closing the inner cover of the printer when I changed one of the ink cartridges. It had nothing to do with the recent upgrade in the system software..

  • 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:

  • Text won't print on Canon LBP5050 after software update, Text won't print on Canon LBP5050 after software update

    I'm running OSX, 10.6.7 on a Mac mini and on a macbook pro. Since I've run an update, neither of them will print text, only pictures, on my Canon LBP5050 printer (which I bought from Apple). I've checked the drivers, and I'm already using the latest. I've reset the print process and that had no effect either. Anyone got any ideas? It rather makes the printer useless.
    Thanks,
    Ariane

    Solution found! Delete old printer driver, restart machine then go to http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900772205.html
    With the CAPT driver installed, to add the printer, you do need to click the More Printers button. This will be located in the bottom left hand corner of the Add Printer browser.
    Restart machine again and turn printer on, hopefully then you'll be able to print text and images without any problems at all! works for me and I'm on a Macbook Pro running 10.6.8

  • 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 IPF610 after upgrading to Mavericks. HELP!!

    Since updateing to the OS 10.9 Mavericks, I am no longer able to print to my Canon IPF610 Large Format Printer. I tried upgrading the driver at the Canon website for the OS 10.9 but it's still not working.

    I already know about this and this solved my problem 2 years ago when I hooked up the printer for the first time. Now after installing the Mavericks update, it keeps saying the printer isn't connected. I tried using a different ethernet cable, unplugging and plugging printer back in and still the same problem. I can still print to it from my old Apple G5 tower using 10.5.8 and was even able to print with no problems on my Intel iMac using the 10.8.  I installed the updated driver for 10.9 on Canon's website and still get the same problem.

  • Unable to print to Canon ir2022i after 10.6.7 update.

    Ever since the latest system update we've been unable to print to our imagerunner 2022i.  We've downloaded and installed the latest driver (2.24) to no avail.  We've downloaded and installed the driver update package from Canon...no dice.  The only way it works is to setup the printer with a generic pcl driver, but the quality is terrible. 
    Are we stuck until canon updates the driver or apple updates system software?  Not being able to print in a small office for over a week is insane....

    The 10.6.7 update introduced an issue with the UFR2 v2.23 and earlier versions. For the imageRUNNER devices, a window would appear stating that the Graphics Mode needed to be changed from UFRII to Raster. If you then opened the Quality menu of the UFR2 driver and selected the Quality Settings tab, here you would see the Graphics Mode section and enabling the Raster radio button would allow the job to be printed.
    This issues was resolved with the release of the UFR2 v2.24 driver. But this driver does not completely overwrite the older version, so it is necessary to trash the older UFR2 driver before installing the v2.24 driver. The following steps will remove the UFR2 driver from the Mac.
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax, select the UFR2 print queue and press the - (minus) button to remove the queue. Exit from Print & Fax
    2. Open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon and trash the UFR2 folder
    3. Still in Finder, navigate to HD > Library > LaunchAgents and trash the file "jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist". Exit from Finder.
    4. Open Activity Monitor and select the entry "UFRII Backgrounder" and then Force Quit. Exit from Activity Monitor.
    The Mac is now ready to install the new v2.24 of the UFR2 driver.
    If your issue is not the Graphics Mode message appearing, then can you please describe what error you are having.

  • Unable to print with Canon iR2018 after updating OsX Mavericks

    Hi,
    there's anybody who can help me in finding canon ir2018 drivers for osX Mavericks?

    Here is a link to the Canon UFR2 v10.2.0 driver that supports your iR2018 on OS X 10.9.
    Please note that when adding the network printer you must use the LPD protocol and select the correct printer model, which will be listed as "Canon iR2018". Do not select the iR2018 that shows UFR II in the model name as this will be for the older v2.43 driver which is not compatible with OS X 10.9.

  • Score when printed on canon ip4000 computer all out of alignment

    same in pdf--- all accents, slurs, rests, notes, not aligned---tried new printer driver---if I send the file to a friend it prints fine on his computer---what up?

    Sounds to me like a fonts issue - check that all your Mac fonts are not corrupted or doubled - sometimes when they are they have a little black dot next to them.

  • Printing in Russian Language - after ECC 6.0 unicode upgrade

    Hello ,
    Earlier users from russia are able to print in SAP 4.6C using SAPWIN Device type in russian language.
    but after unicode conversion and ECC 6.0 EHP 4 upgrade, they are not able to print in russian using SAPWIN.
    In print preview ,it is showing correclty, but not in output.
    any help ?
    regards,
    Chaitanya.

    Hi,
    It should not be necessary to change to SAPWIN5. Device type SAPWIN5 only supports cyrillic fonts like COURCYR, HELVCYR or TIMECYR. Therefore, even if the erong font is used in the form, the device type converts it to a Russian font. If yuo use a correct font for Russian characters in the form, then SAPWIN should also work.
    SWINCF should also work with the current form setting.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • Printing of asian characters after ECC 5.0 / unicode upgrade

    Does anyone know what do we need to do in order to print documents in asian languages. We have upgraded to ECC5.0/unicode.

    I solved my issue as follows.
    Here are 4 options I analyzed, you may chose one that best fits your needs.
    We chose option 1.1
    1.1     PRINTER UPGRADE/REPLACEMENT
    This is a h/w based solution.  This option requires certain compliant models of the printers and installation of special font card to that printer. It provides faster response times since the fonts don’t have to be sent across the network. Although there are less number of fonts available compared to other options, they are sufficient to cover major world languages.
    1.2     SAPLPD/SAP SPRINT
    This is a s/w service running on a NT Box, also known as Frontend printing. This decentralizes printing landscape from Unix (our SAP instances are on unix) to windows based printing and would require changes to printng support procedure in our landscape.
    1.3     OMS
    Using a Output Management System ( OMS) such as HP OMS or VPSX ( using a plugin such as Impulse for Double Byte printing).   This is full-fledge output management solution but requires additional resources and capital investment and is suited for organization with significant(sometimes complex) output needs that need to be carefully managed.
    1.4     PDF
    Convert SAP output to pdf and send the pdf file with fonts embedded inside it to printer. Requires ABAP resource and uncertainty over whether all the different types of output can be converted to pdf besides the pdf printing will add network overhead and cause slowness affecting other processes.May be something for future since SAP is collaborating with adobe on forms/output delivery.

  • After upgrading to Maverick I can print from Canon IR5050. Downloaded new driver from Canon site with no luck.

    I can not print from Canon IR5050 after installing Maverick. I downloaded new driver from Canon with no luck.

    I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

  • Prints too dark and contrasty when printing from IDCS3 to Canon IP4000 inkjet printer

    I have a problem with colours when printing from IDCS3 onto a Canon IP4000 inkjet printer and Ilford Galarie smooth pearl paper. I cannot find a solution to it or maybe I am not looking for the right search terms. Maybe someone can help me here.
    I am using IDCS3 on a Mac G5 PPC with 2Ghz dual processors running OS 10.4.11. I have an Eizo ColorEdge CE210w monitor which I profile regularly with a Gretag Macbeth eye-one device.
    I have designed a 50 page document with about 200 images. Now when I print from IDCS3 the images are too dark and very contrasty. But when I print the same image from Photoshop CS3 the print is fine.
    I have been using the canned ICC profile from Ilfords website.
    The one difference was that in Photoshop I had a choice of rendering intent in the print dialogue which I set to relative colorimetric. (I have subsequently found that I have the choice of rendering intents in ID if I select each image and change the RI before I get to the print stage which can be a pain)
    I would appreciate your help with this as I do not really want to redesign the layout in Photoshop all over again.
    Thank you in advance.

    You can change overall rendering intents for each document under Edit/Assign Profiles.

  • Wireless printing to Canon MX310 fails using D-Link Router - Can't Connect

    I recently bought a D-Link wireless router (320), which supports wireless printing and I am trying to set it up to work with MBP. I set it up to run with Windows XP and it works fine with no problems, but with my MBP it won't work. Here is a screen shot showing the XP set up and the printer server info from the router (bottom).
    http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/1645/printerq.jpg
    From this, I've been using the following information to add the printer,
    Protocol: HP Jetdirect - Socket
    Address: 192.168.0.1
    Queue: lp1
    The printer shows up as idle in the printer selection menu. When I print it goes through the following messages,
    Connecting to Printer...
    Printer Online...
    Printing...
    And then the queue clears itself as if it printed, but nothing ever comes out of the printer. At first I assumed it was a problem with the router, but when I tested it with Windows it doesn't have any hang-ups.
    Any help would be appreciated with this, as I've read several posts and tried all recommendations but nothing will work. I'm also curious if I have the "Queue" in the printer dialogue right, or if it should be 9100. Thanks in advance!

    Based on your Windows port configuration, your Mac printer queue configuration is reasonably correct. Although based on your Windows port configuration, you don't seem to require a queue name of lp1 - this would normally be required for LPD connections.
    Your issue will be with the driver used. The Canon Mac drivers cannot be used when you have the printer connected to the USB port of a wireless router or print server (although the exception to this rule is an Airport device). When you have the printer connected via USB to a router or being shared by Windows, then you need to use a CUPS-based driver like Gutenprint or PrintFab (yes I know the Canon driver says CUPS but it is not true CUPS).
    The Gutenprint tends to be the preferred driver because it is free, however your MX310 is not listed as a supported model so you would have to experiment with using a model that is supported and this can waste a lot of time and ink/paper.
    PrintFab (www.printfab.net) costs 49 Euro but it does support your MX310. A trial version is also available so you could see if the printer does work before making a purchase.
    One final note. For your Windows queue you don't need to add the colon 9100 after the IP address. The fact that you have selected RAW and have 9100 set for the Port Number is adequate.

Maybe you are looking for
