  • Problems with Canon i-SENSYS MF8030Cn and OS x Lion

    I have a Canon i-SENSYS MF8030Cn  that ran perfectly before the OS x Lion upgrade. After the upgrade I have major issues with printing. The two errors I get is:
    1) First I get a new pop-up telling me to verify the ID and Password.
    2) OS x tells me that the printer has problems and that I should try and reconnect the printer to the power grid. And the printer just works fine, I tried it with a PC just berforhand.
    Anyone else has this problem?
    cheers
    /Chris

    Contact Canon Netherlands again and suggest they look at Service Information F7-T01-V34-10134-01 released by Canon INC. This service information indicates that the UFR2 v2.03 driver has been tested with Lion and will function with some limitations, as shown below.
    This driver can be used after confirming and understanding the limited functions listed below.
    Limited functions and workarounds
    Limit 1: Printing is not possible when registering a print queue using IPv6.
    Workaround: Connect with Bonjour if registering with IPv6.
    There is no workaround if the device is not supported by Bonjour.
    Limit 2: The following functions cannot be used when printing from some Preview/TextEdit applications.
    Retrieving Device Configuration Information
    Job Accounting
    Workaround: None
    Limit 3: Printing is no longer possible after updating to OS X Lion from Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
    Workaround: Reinstall this driver and register the print queue again.
    The driver version with official OS X Lion support is scheduled to be released between October and November 2011.

  • Problems with Canon i-sensys LBP7750Cdn.

    I am having ongoing issues with my Canon i-sensys LBP 7750Cdn printer.  PAHU kindly gave me advice to get it up and running using the UFR ii driver, however since then I have been trying to print PDF documents off the web and these will not print. Either I get nothing printed or pages are dropped from the printing.  I have tried printing from preview but it doesn't have any text on the pages which come out from the printer.  The only way I have been able to print is to delete the adobe internet plug-ins from the library ( on the advice of another member of the community) but then any text in the document headers or footers doesn't  print properly.  It comes out as letters and symbols unrelated to what should be there.
    PAHU recommended postscript as being preferable when using OSX, however when I connect the printer throught the USB to the airport base and select the PS driver I can't print at all.  I get an error message on the printer saying cannot start job which according to the manual means "The specified emulation does not exist." I'n not sure what this means.
    I would really like to be able to print pdf of f the web in their entirety, and just have my printer functioning fully.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have got a few more sites to print pdf files but am still having difficulties with a few.  The message which appeared in the printer utility was
    Library/Printers/Canon/UFR2/Cores/cupstomcdufr2/Contents/MacOS/cupstomcdufr2 failed
    The cupstomcdufr2 is a transport protocol. What the UFR2 driver does is take the spool file and move it from the core printing system on the Mac and pass it through to its own mechanism for sending the file to the printer. As to why this only occurs on certain files is the puzzle. You could try using Disk Utility to run a repair disk permissions. Another thing you could try is for these documents, use Adobe Acrobat and from the Acrobat print dialog, select the Advanced button. From the new window that appears you can then enable the "Print as image" checkbox.

    WIth regard to PS what is the kit you refer to and how would I know if it is available on my machine?  There is a PS driver for the UK so I would imagine it should be an option.
    To check if the PS kit (sales code PS ROM-A723) is available for sale in your region, you should probably contact your local Canon support (or who you bought the printer from).
    To check if the LBP has the PS kit you can press the Utility button on the control panel. The menu entry will be Configuration Page. Press OK and arrow down to Yes when asked to execute. With the printed Configuration Page, you will see a number of headings. If you only see UFR II then it does not have the PS kit installed.
    If you do see PCL in the Configuration Page, then this could be another option for you, as the Mac does have a Generic PCL driver. This only prints in b&w and by default prints at 300dpi, although you can change this to 600dpi via the print menus. Maybe for these documents you have trouble with you can use this Generic PCL driver if the PS kit costs too much.

  • Wireless printing problems with Canon iP4300, but USB printing ok

    My MacBook Pro is setup for wireless printing with a printer(Canon Pixma iP4300) connected to my other PC Desktop. The only problem is that when I print anything all the text and images are miniaturized and squished about a quarter of a page large into the upper left corner of an 8.5x11 paper. I installed all the programs that came with the printer installation disk and when I connect my MacBook directly to the printer via USB everything prints out just fine.
    I suspect the problem is with the selection of printer model when you go to "Printer Setup" in System Preferences. The existing list of Canon printer models given to me by the computer does not contain anything specific for my iP4300. I simply chose the option "BJC 4300 Gimp-Print v.5.0.0-beta 2". Does anyone know of a way where I could add to that list of printer models or is there another way to get my wireless printing to work normally? Thanks to anyone who can help.

    I have the same printer and network printing is a pain. Canon decided not to include a network specific driver for this printer.
    You can try getting the latest version of the gimp-print drivers. The latest version has better support for ip4300. If it's worth it to you, PrintFab drivers have been working for me but PrintFab isn't free.
    The latest Gimp-print (Gutenprint) drivers are here: http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
    Hope that helps.

  • Very odd problem with Canon Pixma i4300 (color printing issue)

    My printer prints black text fine, including colorful illustrations. Also eg. test photo like http://printermaster.dk/TEST/Color_Print_Test.pdf are completely fine. BUT - when I print real photography on Glossy photo paper, in approximately 1/3 of the picture I got aprox. 1 cm pinker/whiter stripe. I did all sort of cleaning, including removing and flushing print head and nothing helps. When I'm printing the same on the normal paper, I got stripes randomly in the picture - eg. 3 stripes / 3 cm long / 5mm wide. When I print without borders, the symptom again changes - the upper 3cm seems to be fine, then I can observe some horizontal lines, then again a pinker/whiter stripe and then the bottom seems to be again fine. I did all sort of recalibration, printer head alignment, different sort of paper - the result is still the same. Any idea please ? Is it time to throw it away ? Also here are some results of the alignment, it looks very strange (vertical lines?!). Head alligments / service info prints / etc. : http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=06883978457109160756

  • Problem with Canon LPB 6670,

    Hello, I have problem with Canon LPB 6670, while printing both sides the paper is jammed every time

    First clarify this statement...
    I captured video, and when I went on FCP and did log and capture, it said the camcorder was offline.<</div>
    Have you already captured with this camera or are you trying to capture with it now?
    If you're trying to capture with it now, are you capturing to an external harddrive? If so, the problem may be because you're overtaxing your FW bus.
    If you're not already, you might try capturing to your internal (so the iMac is only accessing the camera on the single FW bus), then transfer the media to an external to edit.
    Does the iMac recognize the camera? (check in System Profiler)
    Is the camera in playback mode?
    Have you tried shutting down and making sure your camera is on before opening FCP?

  • Problem with Canon iPF8300

    Hi everyone, I've got a problem with my Canon iPF8300 and Photoshop CC.
    I've installed  the latest drivers (3.01), last OS (10.8.5) and last Photoshop (14.1.1).
    I cannot print on a A3+ sized paper, the printers print only a piece of the image, like it was set a bigger paper size, but I double checked that.
    I had to play with the AppColorMatchingInfo.xml and add Photoshop CC to the list of apps, becuase before that I couldn't even print at all. The print received the command but all the jobs went on the job queue but didn't print.
    With Canon Plugin I can print without any problem, but the plugin misses the Adobe CMM...
    Any workaround?
    Thanks

  • Problem with Canon RAW 5D/7D Raw file and Magenta highlights

    Hi everyone,
    I've noticed a problem with some Canon RAW nightly shots when in scene are present magenta spotlights (also red and blue):
    In the core of light, magenta color become "solarized" and white burned, and there is no way to recover it with any Adjustments. (also but in minor way, Red and Blue lights)
    Opening the RAW file in Canon Digital Photo Pro the same images are perfect:
    (left image Aperture3 - right image Canon DPP)
    Any suggestion?

    I have exactly the same problem with the 7D RAW files. I have tried Leopard+ Aperture 2, Snow Leopard + Aperture 3 trial and nothing makes a difference. Horrible magenta colour cast on the neutral tones, yet the blues are over-saturated and total lack of sharpness no matter what you do.
    I shot JPEG (neutral) and RAW together so know what they should look like. I don't get any problems with Canon DPP software so the error seems to be in the Aperture RAW converter. The issue seems to be more apparent in low light or images with a lot of neutral tones, other images shot outside in good light appear to be pretty much ok. I even tried the latest version of Lightroom and that can't seem to handle them well either.
    The link below was a thread that was running on the 7D problems, but no solution was ever provided.

  • Problems with a Canon i-sensys LBP6000 printer!!! Help me please!!!

    Hello!
    I just bought aprinter Canon i-sensys LBP6000 and I can make it work on my MacBook Pro(version 10.7.1). I downloaded the driver from the Canon website and I have installed it on my laptop very easyly.
    http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010907.asp
    But the problem is that when I want to configurate the printer I go to: System Preferences/Print andScan/  I don’t have the option of Add “Moreprinters”, so I don’t know what to do!!!
    Does anybody have the aome problem??? Can anybody help me please????
    Thank you very much!!!

    When using your link it shows that the Canon Europe web site only has the v3.30 driver for the LBP6000. This driver does not support Lion.
    So if you download this v3.36 CAPT driver from the Canon Australia web site, you will have the correct driver for Lion, and if you refer to the document "Registering_OS_X_Lion_en-uk_R.pdf", which is included with the driver download, it shows that you do not use More Printers but the IP > LPD protocol instead.

  • 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 problem with Canon LBP3370

    I'm having an issue relating to the Canon LBP3370.
    I also notice that Canon Europe seem to have removed all trace of any MacOSX drivers from the support page for this printer.
    I have an 'early' MBP running 10.6.6 w/ Suitcase3, QXP8.5 and CS5.
    Just bought a MacMini updated to 10.6.7. Same software. Same files. Same fonts.
    I have one file which gets printed weekly from a template in QXP. It prints fine on the MBP on a Canon LBP3370 using the last 'auto updated' driver. Not sure how to check the version number of the driver, but it works. I looked in 'About this Mac' and looked up the printer, and it says driver version is 2.0 - then again, it says the same for the version on the MacMini, which was installed today using an installer marked 2.24.
    On the MacMini, the same file, on the same software yields an output error to the printer and requests the printer be switched to 'raster' mode in 'Quality' settings in order to print, which I understand yields diminished quality on more complex files.
    I experimented with the file, removing elements and isolating them in another document to test if they print OK on the MacMini. 99% of all the page elements print just fine including a complex EPS without switching to 'raster' mode. All except for... wait for it... a SINGLE weight of the Adobe Helvetica Neue LT Std OpenType font. The document has about seven separate weights of the same font in use, and it is only one of them that triggers this problem.
    I've scanned the font completely for errors and corruption and it gets a clean bill of health. The exact same font, on the MBP, using the same software and the same printer, but used on 10.6.6 prints perfectly without having to switch to raster mode.
    Bizarre.
    What actually is the difference between UFR and Raster modes anyway? How do I fix this? It seems more likely to be a 10.6.7 issue than a Canon driver issue specifically... I notice the webs full of people commenting on 10.6.7 causing problems with OpenType fonts.
    Any ideas?

    sig
    Not really, thanks anyway. I'm already on a later driver than that.
    PAHU
    Thanks for the input. I'm still somewhat confused by the aparrent existence of two different problems - first the sheer number of complaints that 10.6.7 in itself has broken a good deal of OpenType font functionality, particularly in the PostScript flavour, and second that users have been having similar specific problems with this exact printer which appears to be a result of a driver in need of fixing.
    I'm not sure which option to place my bet on, or whether indeed the two are, in fact, connected and the development of the 2.24 and later drivers are in essence 'fixes' for the 'breakage' introduced by 10.6.7 in general.
    The part that confuses me most is that it is a single weight out of five weights of the same font used in the same document which causes the problem. Part of me says that the solution is to just abandon that specific weight, but then another part of me says that I'm managing some three thousand faces on this system, any of which could need to be used, and I cannot test all of them to disable or deactivate the weights (or families) which might cause issues.
    Can you point me in the direction of a clean, pure source of 2.24 for UK English, which I cannot find on the Canon Europe website at all (certainly on the UK site, all Mac drivers for this model appear to have been discontinued and removed from the site, even though the vestigial tech notes for the printer still on display on the product page state that MacOSX is supported). I'm prepared to try a reinstall from a fresh source to see if it shifts the problem. Otherwise, as you say, it would appear that another 'bug' has been found which the attempted fix has not cleared.

  • 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.

  • Printing Problems with Canon Pixma MP830 under 10.5.5.

    Hi All.
    Strange one here. I'll try to keep it short.
    A client just bought a 24" iMac (running Leopard 10.5.5) and all was great until they tried to connect their Canon Pixma MP830 to it. The client installed connected the printer to the USB port in back, installed the software from the Canon CD, and soon discovered they could not print from any application -- however, they could do a test print (cleanings, alignments, test, etc.) without issue.
    They ended up calling both Apple and Canon for several sessions and no one could figure it out.
    So I get the call. I remove the printer completely from the system, emtpied the trash, repair permissions, blew out the user and system cache, restart and installed the fresh Leopard-friendly drivers from Canon. I also ran the firmware upgrade for the printer, which took just fine. When I did a test print -- no problem. When I tried to print from Safari -- nothing.
    So I then I thought I would try the Gutenprint v5.1.3 drivers for that printer. Nada.
    I downloaded the GutenPrint 5.2.0-beta4 drivers, still nada.
    At a last ditch effort I tried a new USB cable, still nada.
    Curious if anyone has seen this problem and perhaps as a solution? Aside from buying a new printer that is (they are already shopping, but not happy about it).
    Thanks!
