Canon Support for Snow Leopard

well looks like I am out of luck. At least for the mf4350
Dear Brian:

Thank you for writing to us. We value you as a Canon customer and
appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

Unfortunately we don't support printing via the airport extreme the port
is not recognized, you most directly connect to usb onboard computer.

Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance with your
Canon Product.

Thank you for choosing Canon.

I got both my iR5185 and iR3035 working thank goodness.
Downloaded the following file for my 5185
http://downloads.canon.com/cpr/software/imagerunner/UFRIIv2.00MacOSX.zip

First I deleted all of my existing Canon iR devices from my printer list.

then Opened the UFR II installer app

I chose Uninstall, and watched as my /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj directory was depleted of Canon cruft.

After receiving the uninstall was successful message (may need to close finder view of en.lproj to get uninstall successful only instead of ...some files blah... msg)

Then I choose simple install.

After the UFR install completion (no restart unlike previous UFR Installers) I first added the iR 5185 which this driver said was compatible. In Print Fax chose IP-->LPD-->ipAddress-->Gave it a recognizable name, and choose the Select software then down to "iR 5185 UFR II (US)" -- Prints!

Now the iR 3035, which was not on its compatible list, followed the same as above, but chose the stock reading "iR Series UFR II (US)" --Prints!

To recap, the "More Printers" option of UFR II installers before no longer works, unless perhaps you have an IPv6 network (Dunno didn't test) but the IP-->LPD-->Printers IP address does the job. There are generic iR selections for both the color and the black and white machines, if yours doesn't appear under the select software option.

Best of Luck.

the 2.05 driver here

fixed my problem with my ImageClass MF4100 series not printing more than one page on v2.00 driver and Snow Leopard

Canon Canada has a link for the 2.05 driver posted here...

dayhoax can you give me an updated link on this file, I'd like to get my 10.6 computer up and running with my IR C3170U...

I got a "referral refused" message with your link.

Hello PAHU

In reply:

On the cable connection:
My MF4320d only has one port, namely one fitting the smaller end on a cable like this. So I do not understand what you mean, when you say that it's using an USB-cable that causes problems? This has left me somewhat bewildered indeed - actually to a degree where I visited to my cable dealer and asked for a cable from a printer port to a net port on Time Capsule. "No such thing exists," was the answer. I think I misunderstood something, and cannot get on with solving this particular part of the problem...which leads me to the other issue:

On the USB vs. Ethernet/LPD/LP
I do not understand this. Usually I do not need an IP adress or Ethernet just to connect my printers - at least not that I know of (here exposing my lack of knowledge in this area - I surpose). I guess it's straight foreward once you've seen it done - but I do not know how to do this. I can get the printer to show up in the Printer area in Preferences - but that's all. Where do I find my printers IP-address? Where is the LPD and LP functions - and what do they mean?

On scanning
I do know, however, that it's not possible to scan via a multifunctional machine connected via Airport. When I have to scan I have to plug in directly to MacBooks USB - but I can live with that.

As long as I get my long missed printer opportunity back.

PS. There is no fax/phone on this machine.

Hello PAHU,

OK, thanks a lot for clearing that up. My own fault that I bought a machine, that doesn't connect via Airport - though I must say, my confidence in Canon products exists no more. A company, that sells a machine claiming it works under OS X conditions, and it then shows up it doesn't work at all with the for years wellknown OS X wireless network Airport, is in my opinion an untrustworthy company. Other producers of printers do actually deliver this obvious software quality. Also the behaviour of Canon on this matter described earlier in this thread is....well, not satisfying to say the least. Exit Canon.

And enough of that - I will go on and connect the printer directly - have an idea, that might make it work after all:

I just bought an iMac i5 (to be delivered December 16). I'll connect the Canon Multifunctional directly to the iMac i5, and the i5 wireless to Time Capsule. I'm wondering if I will be able to print wireless from my MacBook via TimeCapsule/iMac/Canon.

I doubt it's possible 😉 - but of cause it will be tested once I have the wonderfull i5.

Thank you again.

Thanks Pahu... im just shooting in the dark i suppose... If you find out that anything has developed that makes the C3170U work please let me know.

IDK if it supports PPD or otherwise, i've tried creating post script/ppd printer queues but the printer just beeps and says Error PC Load Letter (jk- it does beep and say error tho)

My runnign theory is that it only suports UFRII. I'm about to purchase a bunch of computers that now have to run 10.5 bc canon dosent update their drivers ugh.

Anyway, thanks for your help. I'll be monitoring this thread and the canon website, just to test my sanity.

Parisinla, I've been monitoring this thread also in regard to the 3170U. Nothing as of yet. Also, if you don't have it yet, here's the link to the Canon page for this printer and its drivers.

Hoping someone might have some ideas. Upgraded the MacBook Pro to SL and now can't find any printer drivers for my MP140.

Before it was working fine via an AE but the AE has gone now and any attempt to direct connect using USB is a massive FAIL.

I've stripped out the old printer drivers, installed MP140 Series 101 package and nothing. Deleted those and installed the MP140 Series 102600 and nothing. Deleted those and installed the CanonPrinterDrivers.dmg and still nothing.

The CIJAutoSetup tool crashes on launch and nothing appears in either network or USB when I select Canon iJ Printer Utility.

MP Navigator also can't communicate with the scanner.

I've also installed Rosetta (just in case) and run System update.

Anyone have any ideas pleas? Not much English speaking tech support available here in Thailand.

Just to add a little more.

I got my hands on an AE again today and the MP140 loads up and prints fine using Bonjour but switching back to a USB connection is a total disaster. Nothing at all. No drivers mount up - nothing.

Here for information is the reply I received from a Canon UK support engineer after enquiring about SL ImageRunner support:

------
Official Snow Leopard support for English language drivers I think is
sometime this month, otherwise Jan 2010..

If it is very urgent I might be able to get the .ppd but there will not
be any official support for it until launch...

So maybe not much longer to wait.
