Canon MF4150 printing on 10.6

I have a similar problem with MS Word, IF and only IF it contains images. Text is fine. But it looks like the printer is "overloaded" when there is an image in my text. Somewhere in the middle of the image, the printer starts to freak out and prints horizontal lines

There are known issues now (some are exactly how you described it) with the UFR 2.0 driver for the ImageClass MF series multifunction printers. I posted here (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10446238#10446238) about my findings from Canon Canada. Unfortunately it seems there's no workaround or fix except to wait till Canon releases a new driver. Canon was able to reproduce the same issues on their end. Sadly, UFR 2.0 driver (for 10.6) for the ImageClass series is utter junk.

Just to throw a curve-ball into the debate, my new MF4380dn is working fine with 10.6.1 using the UFR2 v2.00 driver.

The same Mac printing to my old MF4270 has some of the issues mentioned in this thread, ie cannot print duplex correctly, so it does look like the driver is somewhat incompatible with older models of MF.

Also, the same Mac is working fine with the v2.00 driver to the office imageRUNNER copiers.

Me thinks its time for Canon to pull out the finger and get this resolved asap.

Hi PAHU,

Is the MF4380DN really new or did you mean 4370DN? I can't find any reference to the MF4380 on Canon's website.

Hi ATC7,

I'm so glad you were able to speak to a "higher-up" and Canon and that they were able to reproduce the problem at their end. Thank you so much for your persistence! I hope that they are able to figure out a solution sooner rather than later. I had wondered if I should try "clean installing" snow leopard to see if that would make a difference, but perhaps not?

It's an MF4380dn.

So am I to understand that the new Canon MF4370dn printer I bought will not work under snow leopard right now? Any hints on how to get this working? I have it hooked up to my time capsule through a network port and not USB. I gave the printer an IP address and can see it, but it fails when I try to print. As with the rest of you, the duplex option is greyed out.

Any hints, tips, tricks to getting this working?? Ughhhh..

Update: I can get it to print via direct USB connection. Duplex works and all. I just cannot get this working through Network printing hooked up to the Time Capsule.

Any tricks on setting up the printer itself in the network settings? Or is it just snow leopard causing the error? I assigned the printer an IP address and did not let it select an auto IP.

Any advice? Thanks.

Hello James,

The printer will work fine when you print via Ethernet. Try the following steps.

Open Print & Fax and click + to add
Select IP > LPD
Enter the IP address of the MF4370 and then a queue name of LP
For the name, you can change it from the IP address to something more meaningful, like MF4370DN (this is just a text field so it doesn't matter what you enter).
In the Print Using menu, drop the menu and click 'Select Printer Software'.
When the search window appears, type MF43. This should make 'Canon MF4360-4390 (UFRII LT)' appear in the list. Select this and click OK. Now click Add to complete the network print queue creation.

Hopefully this works for you. Pls reply if you still need help...

I had to uninstall, reinstall the driver for it to work. Is there something special about setting up this printer's network settings (IP, etc..)

At any rate, I was able to print via ethernet, but now the duplex part of the printing does not work. Under the Finishing section, the Print Style: 2 sided does not work under ethernet printing. Is this a known issue? How can we get duplexing going?

Or are all the Canon 4370dn owners up the creek without duplexing capabilities under snow leopard!?!? Any advice?

thanks.

To get the Duplexing option, go to Print & Fax, select the MF4370dn and click Options and Supplies. The select the Driver tab. This section has the option to enable the Duplex function. Tick the check box and then OK the change. Now if you go back to print something you should have two-sided available.

That option is not there. The driver I am using is: Canon MF4360-4390 UFRII LT (US)
The only options showing are:

Paper type of stack Bypass:
Paper type of cassette 1:

How are you seeing this? What driver are you using? Also having problems printing after it has gone into energy saving mode. So far, not too impressed with this printer.

Now it won't even see the printer when trying to print. Nothing has changed other than the fact it was in energy saver mode. For the life of me it won't printer over the network now. Anyone have any tips? This printer driver is just horrible. Perhaps it's time to return it.

The message I get is:

Canon URF II Printer Driver: The printer is not supported, or the printer information is not acquired correctly. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection, delete the printer, and it again, and acquire the printer information on the print dialog box: 10322

HEY! I contacted Canon yesterday complaining about the current SL driver for the MF4150 and received no response. However, when I went out there today they had released the v2.05 driver!

I still have not upgraded to Snow Leopard due to this issue. Can someone upgrade their driver and see if it fixed the problem of not being able to print multiple pages and/or duplex printing?
