Sudden Canon CMFP Printer Driver Error?

My Canon MF8380 had been working fine with my macbook pro (printing wirelessly), and all of a sudden today I am getting an error that says:
"Canon CMFP Printer Driver: Printer is not responding. Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again."
I have tried the basics - turning off and on the printer, rebooting the macbook pro, printing from different applications, making sure Job Accounting is not checked in setup, seeing that the driver seems like it's acknowledged, checking and unchecking sharing prefs... Not versed enough to do much beond that.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

Canon just released a new print driver that fixed my exact same error.

Unable to load Canon MP160 printer driver

I've had the hardest time using my Canon MP160 printer on my iMac (Mac OS 10.5). In fact, I'm not able to print at all.
I have the printer connected via USB. It always has been. However, it only stopped working recently.
I downloaded the drivers for the printer and scanner from Canon's web site. However, when I attempt to load the printer driver, the "Installing Canon IJ Printer Driver" window appears. It gets to the "Finishing Installation" part in the process. But it "hangs" at some point and does not complete. I've tried it twice. It hung at two different points in the process. I tried letting it run overnight. That was no good.
I've also looked for the "Printer Setup Utility" and can't seem to find that anyplace. I'm wondering why I can't find that.
If anybody could help me solve this, I'd be so thankful.

Hello marconi10. Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to install your printer on one computer, over a wireless connection. I'm going to suggest a very simple workaround, which if it works, will remove any complicated troubleshooting that would be necessary:
Please try installing the printer with a USB connection. If this does not work, you know that there is an issue occurring with the computer.
If this does work, the printer will be successfully installed. At that point, you can change the connection type from USB to wireless. For more information on how to do this, please reference this HP document: Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless
If the printer will still not connect wireless, this will point out a computer issue. For additional information and troubleshooting, relating to the inability of installing the printer over a wireless network, please reference this HP document: 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During Wireless Network Installation
Please respond with the results of your troubleshooting. I'm only here to help!

Canon LBP6000 print driver - no printer appears in the 'add printer' section' I have installed Mac CAPT Ve r340 and nothing shows.r

I was having problems printing from my Canon LBP6000. Print jobs remained held in the queue. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Mac CAPT Ve r340 driver from Canon's website, no improvement. The printer works fine with my Windows laptop.
I found an option to remove all printers from the Print preferences section. I can't remember how I did this, but all printers were removed. I reinstalled the above driver, but now in the 'print & scan' - 'add printer' section, I have no printer options. And no idea how to get printer options. So very open to advice.
Thanks
T.

The ability to see the LBP6000 in the Add Printer view is not reliant on the printer driver but the USB cable. If you have the printers USB cable connected directly to the Mac, as opposed to having it connected to the Windows computer you mention or to some sort of USB hub, then it should appear in the Add Printer > Default view. If it does not show, then try another USB cable. You can also open System Information on the Mac and select the USB section in the left column. Then in the top right pane you will see all the USB busses on the Mac and the LBP should be seen under one of the busses if the USB cable is okay.
With regards to the action to remove all printers, I would bet that you performed a reset of the printing system.

Canon MP620 print driver does not work with Snow Leopard

Bought a Macbook & bundled Canon MP620 printer in Dec 08. Two days ago upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I can no longer print (the printer is not recognized), it only sees "Bonjour scanner" (the printer is a multi-function printer, copier, fax, scanner). Spent more than two hours with two different Apple tech support people over the phone; talked to Apple personnel in store. My printer is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless modem, and I connect to the wireless modem via Airport. The phone tech person insisted that this printer is supported by Snow Leopard, but we reloaded the print driver from the Snow Leopard installation disk with no results. Finally my last resort, which worked, is to go to Radio Shack and get a cable that has a USB-A (printer) to USB-B (Mac) attachment. I was able to print. It is unacceptable for Apple to have this problem, as I went into the store four different times to discuss whether I should upgrade to Snow Leopard, and was told on every occasion that Snow Leopard will make everything run faster, more smoothy, etc. NOT! I want Apple to post a notice on their web site to a) confirm their print driver problems with Snow Leopard and b) to confirm WHEN new print drivers will be released.

Have a look at my last posting re Canon network printing.

i got my MP980 working via Ethernet and wireless. The same procedure should work for your MP620.

Windows 7 64 bit / Server 2012 R2 GUI - Type 4 Print Driver error "Cannot connect to the Printer" 0x00000002

Hello, We have multiple Server 2003 Print server and are working on testing a Server 2012 print server. We have run into an issue where a PRINTER (type 4, normal) works with our Windows 7 32 bit clients, Windows 8.1 64 bit clients and the
2012 R2 server, but when trying to install to a windows 7 64 bit clients using \\SERVER\PRINTER we are getting the above message. (The printer is not offered currently in the directory).
I have been scouring the Google and Bing and have yet to find a satisfactory description that matches this issue. Nor have I found other information that resolve this issue. Like, blaming this on the spooler or DLL fixes or Reg hacks (applied
on the client side).
Specifically, we have used the native 2012 R2 drivers "Ricoh Class Driver", "HP LaserJet 4240 PCL6 Class Driver" and "Xerox Phaser 6120 Class Driver"
If I use a Type 3 driver from Xerox I am able to print from the Windows 7 64 bit client to the print device, but I was hoping to get all of my clients onto 1 driver. I understand that I might be able to use some sort of WMI filtering in our GPO
deployments for the Windows 7 64 bit clients when we go live but this sort of <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="55af8faf-887d-4ea5-9032-7c14b199df0f" id="db4a1e65-db1b-4c94-bd84-20ffc96288ce">henky</gs>.
Please, provide some knowledge. Either a solution to this issue or acknowledgement that separate driver will be required. Thank You!!!!!

Canon i560 printing scale error

Help I have a MacBook that prints perfectly when I plug in usb directly to the printer. However whenever I try to use across my MS network at home it scales the printing down to 1/4 page? I have tried everything and am at a loss. I have reinstalled the printer driver (which the Mac still does not recognize), from both disc and from Canon website. Neither way appears to work. When printing from a Windows laptop connected to home network, printing is flawless as it is from the desktop. Problem is obviously in the networking (MS router). Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
John

You cannot use the UFR2 driver via a Windows queue. The UFR2 queue need to be configured so that it is connecting directly to the Canon machine. If the iR1025 has an Ethernet port then I suggest you have it connected directly to the network hub rather than to the Windows computer. If the iR1025 only has a USB port then you would have to look at using the following procedure to print via the Windows queue.

Satellite L300 PSLB8C: printer driver error - NT 4.0 blocked

I have recently just brought a new Satellite L300 - PSLB8C 04P01X with vista home premium 64bit installed.
I am trying to install a driver for a printer (ML-2010). In the process, I have encountered these two errors:
'the printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 drivers'
I have also tried to install the driver in several other different ways, including updating the driver from the device manager and adding a printer from the control panel. Neither methods I have tried accepted the driver that was in the vista package for the ML-2010.
In addition, I encountered the same errors in the process.
Can you please help?
Thanks

If you search a little bit with Google, you will find a lot of links.
Many people have problems with this printer on Vista 64bit.
I have founded a short review via Google about this printer and found out, that for this printer is no 64bit driver available.
On the manufactures website I also did not find a Vista64 bit driver.
Only for Vista/2008 and XP 64bit.
Sorry but I think this is not possible to use this driver with Vista 64bit but in your case I would contact the manufacture of the printer.

Looking for Canon i9900 print driver

I am looking for a print driver for my Canon i9900 large format printer
Canon support indicates no driver is available

You will have to use the Gutenprint v5.2.10 driver package. That model is too old for Canon to provide a supporting driver.

Lexmark printer driver error

Im having issues with connecting my mac to a Lexmark P4350 printer. I connected and it worked for a while and then stopped. Now it consistantly is in pause mode and an error message that its unable to use the legacy class driver.

Photosmart C4480 Printer Driver Errors

I have two problems:
1) Some files with complex images print OK in PDF, but on the C4480 have either a large black box on part of the image, or part of the image duplicated further down the page instead of the correct part
2) I cannot print some characters from MS Word Formulae. These are [ ] { }
Is this a driver error? Is there a fix?

I am very frustrated with my HP printers right now.
1) I have an HP Photosmart C4480 that has new ink and over 20 times has asked me to print alignment page, scan page and then still doesn't work! The ink doesn't print my documents well at all, I can't even read them unless its an alignment page!
2) I have a color HP 8500a and this printer also doesn't work except to eat all my paper and then spits out nothing. I am slammed and my two HP printers are on the brink!!! Why isn't there a phone number where an actual customer service person can be spoken with? I have time lines, am a small company and cant' belive how much I pay for my ink and printers only to have been struggling for weeks. What is up?

Unable to load HP printer driver-Error message!

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can be of any assistance.
I recently purchased a HP Photosmart 2575 all-in-one printer and installed the necessary software, which said it was successfully installed. However, whenever I boot up the G3 I keep getting the following message 'Unable to load the printer drive, open the applications Get Info dialog and increase the preferred memory size. If this does not help try quitting all other applications or reinstalling the printer software.'
After clicking ok on this message about four times the message goes and I am able to print fine. Just wondering why this is happening. I have increased the memory allocation and also turnt on the virtual memory to see if this makes any difference, but all to no avail. I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled the software to see if this makes a difference, but that didn't help either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
PS: The printer is connected via ethernet on my router to enable me to print from another machine

Use Techtool Lite or Trash*Desktop (TD may delete Finder comments )to rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Does a better job than manually & you avoid all the finger gymnatics. You just have to hold down the shift key to shut off extensions.
Restart to turn the extensions back on again.
If you want to rebuild manually, see KB article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=10182 Rebuilding Desktop File and Icon Recovery.

No Canon MF3110 printer driver...

I just bought a macbook pro and I used a Canon MF3110 printer with my XP box and it had drivers. But it doesn't have drivers for OS X...are there any other options ie open drivers? I tried one called gutenprint but it wasn't compatible. The print is a multifunction and its called Canon imageclass MF3110. Thanks

Had the same problem with other printers (HP Laserjet 1022), the solution was the Gutenprint CUPS (which loads unsupported printer drivers from Apple) from this page:
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
I did a quick search through the supported printers and didn't find yours. Perhaps in a newer beta release or something you could find the drivers, hope this helps.

Hi I have a Canon D420 and I added it on my mac by windows configure but every time i print i get this Canon UFR ll Printer Driver error -50. What should I do?

I try to print but I get error -50. What should I do?

The Hardware Test detected a RAM problem. Take out the chips and make certain that the connections are clean and reinstall them. Make certain that they are well seated.
If the problem occurs again, test with one chip at a time. Also swap bays if necessary.
Please indicate if you have installed new RAM and if so what brand and the specifications.
Ciao.

Canon MP610 printer driver

After updating to OS 10.8.3 on my iMac 27 I can no longer use my Canon MP610. This printer has ALWAYS worked with Lion and Mt. Lion all versions. When I go to print a document there is no printer available. When I try to add my MP610 there is a message that says
"The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer."
Upon clicking add another windown says
"Setting up Canon MP610 series"
then goes into finding software mode and the progress bar gets about half way and this error message appears:
"Can't install the software for the Canon MP610 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
I have downloaded the Mt. Lion driver from Canon, installed the package successfully and it still wants to go looking for the driver on the Software Updarte server; unsuccessfully. After an hour on the phone with both Apple and Canon, no one has a solution.
Why cant the OS recognize the manually downloaded and installed driver that already exists on the hard drive as it has always done? It's as if it is now programmed to only go the the Update server to look for the software and it's not there. Perplexing. USB printers are supposed to be plug and play.
I have noticed that Apple has removed all Canon printers from the Apple Store. What happened? Has Apple abandoned Canon or is it the reverse.
Thanks in advance.

This issue, which can happen to any brand of printer, can often be resolved by resetting the printing system.
As for Canon and Apple, the Australian store is still selling Canon AirPrint printers.

Canon ip6000d printer driver not in driver list

Just bought a Macbook Pro with 2.5 GHz and it's working great. so far only one problem I haven't been able to fix. I have a Canon ip6000d connected to a Windows desktop which is always on. This desktop is hardwired to a Linksys router, and the Macbook connects to the router without any issue. When I go to system preferences and try to add the network printer, it shows up in the list of printers connected to the desktop as CANON PIX. I select the printer, and no driver is available. I try and "Select a driver to use...", the Canon ip drivers skip straight from 5200 to 6700.
Not only did I go to Canon's US website and download the latest driver, it's also supposed to be included with Mac OS 10.5. I tried connecting the computer to the Macbook by USB, and it worked without any issue at all, showing the correct (Canon ip6000d) driver. To me, this means that I have the driver installed on the computer.
In any case, I am still unable to print over the network. Any ideas?
a.s

As you have found, the Canon v4.8.3 driver for the iP6000D that is included with Leopard cannot be used when you are trying to connect to the printer when it is shared by Windows. For this type of connection, you need to use the Gutenprint drivers. However, the version 5.1.3 included with Leopard does not include the iP6000D. So you need to get v5.1.7 from Sourceforge (http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/index.php3) which does include the iP6000D as a supported printer. Run this installer, it will remove the current v5.1.3 and install the v5.1.7 files. Then when you look through the list you will see the "Canon PIXMA iP6000D - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.1.7".
