Since updating to 10.6.8 my Canon LBP3100B printer is only printing lines and no text??

Hi there
I hope someone is able to help me. I recently did a Software update to 10.6.8 and my Canon printer LBP3100B is now only printing lines & pictures (no text)
I had a look on Canon's website and their newest driver is for 10.7 but i'm only on 10.6.8??
Not sure what to do or if anyone else has had this problem.
Why can't companies make their products more compatible with Macs? Sigh...

I have exactly the same problem since last weeks's 10.6.8 update, but with a Canon ip4500 printer.
Unfortunately,  the v3.31 CAPT driver mentioned above is not for 10.6.8 or my printer, but thanks for trying Pahu.
The CAPT v3.31 driver does work on 10.6.8 but the driver is for certain laser models of Canon printers and All In Ones, such as the LBP3100B that the OP has. I never said it was for the inkjets so I'm not sure how you thought that I did.

There doesn't seem to be any sign yet of Canon updating their 10.6.8 drivers, and the latest Apple update today didn't help either, although it apparently included a bug fix for other printer problems.
The 10.6.7 and subsequent 10.6.8 updates did not introduce the 'no text printing' issue that the Canon laser devices experienced. If the iP4500 is not printing text then it may have simply run out of black ink. And note that this model has two black tanks. The PGI-5Bk which is for printing text and the CLI-8Bk which is used for photos. So run a nozzle test to see if all the colours are printing correctly.
If both black tanks are working fine then try removing the printer from Print & Fax and adding it again. This can often help when printers stop working. Also, restarting the printer itself can often help resolve non printing issues.

    Since updating my Apple TV, all that will show up is the iTunes symbol and a cord. What do I do next?

    When I updated via iTunes, it told me to reconnect to my TV, and I got that screen. I gave it a few minutes, and did a force reset (down+menu on remote). Activation took a long time for me, but it eventually came back up.

  • HT3669 Canon laser printer LBP7750C and a Mac Book Air with OS X 1.8.4??

    Hi! I have a Canon laser printer LBP7750C and a Mac Book Air with OS X 1.8.4, but I can't get it to function. After installning the printer, via Ethernet network (Apple Time Capsule) and IP-number, it seems to connects ok but can't print. Anyone has a solution or tip? Thanks!

    One possible cause for your symptom is the printer driver you are using. If you have installed the Postscript (PS) driver but your LPB7750 does not have the PS kit installed, then this can stop a document from printing. So I would suggest you download and install the UFR2 v10.10 driver.
    If you are using the UFR2 driver then the other cause for this symptom is the IP protocol. This driver and the PS driver must be configured using the LPD protocol. If you have selected IPP or HP Jetdirect when creating the print queue, then this will stop you from printing. So remove the printer from Print & Scan and add it again, this time selecting LPD for the protocol.
    Another cause can be you have the wrong IP address. To check that the address is correct, type the IP address into a web browser. This will result in a connection to the internal web page of the printer if the IP address is correct.

  • Since updating to Firefox 4.0.1 I cannot print a web page, why?

    I can print fine from regular printing but I cannot go into printer properties, it says "prop res DLL not loaded". I tried reinstalling the printer driver and same thing happens. This has been happening since I updated firefox to 4.0.1. What can I do?

    I simply cannot print, either from the icon, cntrl-P, or drop down menu - nothing happens. Do not get the dll message. I have Windows 7.

  • I run windows 7.  Since updating itunes, I have been unable to open itunes.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and have chosen to run a administrator.  Itunes icon now displays a shield with yellow

    I run windows 7.  Have been unable to open itunes since updating last week.  I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled, and have checked run as administrator, but still can no open.  I notice that there is now a shield with yellow and blue squares next to it, that i do not think were there before.

    many thanks, Mary.
    The ModName is ituneup.dll; the modver is 1.0.7.0.
    Do you have the TuneUp plugin installed for your iTunes? If so, I think your copy is causing the issue here. Try the following document:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
    ... does that help with the launch errors?

  • Canon MP460 printer, copier and scanner to iMAC but the scanner doesn't work.  How do I get it to work?

    I have a Canon MP460 connected to my iMAC however I am unable to scan.  I can print perfectly and would like the scan capability to work.  How do I get the scan to work? 

    It is impossible to assist you without knowing what version of OS X is installed on your computer. However if you are using OS X Lion 10.7.x or Snow Leopard 10.6.x please look at Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion to see if your device is supported for scanning. If it is then try using Apple's Image Capture software, you will find that in the Applications folder.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE complete your profile. It's easy to do, just click Your Stuff in the upper right of this page, then click Profile and fill in the pertinent information.

  • Since updating to 3.6.22 web pages are very very slow to load and downloads too how can I go back to my healthy computer please?

    Last week I updated to Firefox 3.6.22 (?)and since then a whole host of problems have occurred:
    web pages are taking forever to load
    downloads (like ccleaner and registry booster) wont work
    some programs I've used often aren't working correctly (MS Picture manager)
    I would like to uninstall 3.6.22 and get back to having a healthy computer again.
    Today the web page problem became extreme - pages simply not loading at al and so I have just reloaded 3.6.22 in case something was wrong the first time.
    Suggestions please!
    I'm not that tech savvy and don't know if the installed plugins you've listed below are correct.....

    Firefox 4.0 was released in March, over 3 months ago. If you have some add-ons that haven't been updated yet for Firefox 4.0, much less for Firefox 5.0, it is time for you to find similar replacements for those add-ons. IMHO, extensions like that should be considered as "abandoned" by their developer.

  • Ever since updating my LG G2 to VS98026A the Quiet mode does not work properly and is not controllable.

    My LG G2 started to have problems since the latest system update.  Previously, the phone worked perfectly! 
    I now cannot control the Quiet mode settings and the vibrate and silent modes are no longer selectable.  This is not acceptable.  I have no way of silencing the phone if I need to.
    Is there a way to return the phone to the previous state?

    No can't go back but if you reset you g2 make sure you use cloud storage ahead of time on WiFi to backup data or connect to a computer and know your Google account. If on more everything plan you can use the free 25gb of vcloud storage

  • HT1386 Ever since updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.3, it refuses to sync and will not pick a song while trying to listen to music on my phone?

    So, I thought it was great that apple came out with a new update to fix the bugs of iOS7, however it seems that it created more problematic bugs...
    My iTunes is updated to the latest version, as is my iPhone. No matter how many times I plug it in to the computer it absolutely will not sync new music onto my phone. It says it is syncing, but in reality nothing on my phone has changed. No new music, nothing.
    I have turned my computer on/off as well as my phone.
    Also, no matter what it will not pick a song when I am 'trying' to listen to music on my phone. It just swipes through them all super fast and never stops! Why?!
    Today, I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.4 and it didn't fix the issues.
    Is there a way to fix this, or do I just have to wait until Apple comes out with a new update to fix it??

    I have a very similar problem in Arizona, USA. Virgin Mobile is my carrier. Early in October, the phone seems to have lost it's 3G ability and is exceedingly hesitant to connect to any WiFi networks other than my home WiFi. I've spent countless hours on the phone with my service provider and they have escalated my problem to a higher tier tech group that is looking at the problem now. I've also called AppleCare to ask if I could revert to iOS 6 and was informed that Apple products, once and update has been added, are unable to revert or move backwards. AppleCare said they would like to just exchange my phone for a new one but I am 50 days outside the 1 year limited manufacturer warranty period. Virgin, of course, will not replace the phone for me despite this being a network problem. The responsibility of which should fall on their shoulders. My side of the contract is to pay and pay on time which I have always done. Their side is to provide the services promised at time of purchase and they have dropped the ball. Hope someone out there has an awesome suggestion that doesn't involve going into iTunes and tweaking it or jailbreaking the phone. Until then....namaste.

  • Since updating I can't click on horizontally placed links, buttons etc have uninstalled and reinstalled still doing it. Cant even see how to get an older version that did work and have run a virus check. explorer works

    Firefox was automatically updated to 7 and now all the websites I go on the horizontal active things you would click on will not do anything. eg in ebay I can't access "My ebay" and in facebook can't click on my profile or messages, in Flickr I can't click on "Your Photostream" which means I can't use it. I tried explorer and all these work so it has to be firefox. I uninstalled and reinstalled and ran a complete system virus check on top of the active ongoing one and nothing no change. I am at a loss what to do now. A relative suggested downloading an older version that worked but I can't even see how to do that. I would appreciate help so I could use firefox as in the meantime I am stuck with exporer which I hate. Thanks

  • Hi. Since updating to iOS 6, my iPhone 4S can't connect to Wi-Fi and completely breaks down my broadband connection so I can't even use Internet on all my connected devices, including my computer which had an Ethernet. Help?

    I'm getting incredibly frustrated at Apple because of this, it's causing problems as the Wi-Fi connection will occasionally reconnect and then skip out for whole days when I need it the most. I've researched fixes across the Discussions board and have tried everything from resetting and rebooting my router, resetting my network settings on my iPhone, selecting Auto in the HTTP proxy, selecting auto join, switching off cellular data...practically everything I can do. What are the next steps and when will Apple release and update to resolve this issue?

    Unfortunatly it sounds like something has gone very wrong when updating your iPhone. Its possible that some files on your phone may have become corrupt while the update was taking place. To be on the safe side, I would do as above and see if the problem still exist.
