Big Sur printer queue does not load

Hello, I am experiencing the same problem. I just got my Mac book air with Mac OS Big Sur and I have updated it to the most recent 11.1 version. I am trying to print on my Canon MX860 and I have added it as a printer and when I go to System Preferences, it appears as a recognized printer. I am using a USB cable to connect it. Print preview appears, but when I go to bring something, the printer icon appears for a second, and then goes away and the item does not print. I have ticket the Open with Rosetta button as suggested, but my problem still persists.

not doing that. again. every release of macOS since way back seems to require some hours of intervention to get a Canon printer to work. sick of it. im printing without a queue until apple gets it's act together and fixes this from their end. I've already wasted days getting BT to work with an M1 mini, I'm not going to spend an hour diddling with a tiny printer LCD screen and keypad, just to reinstall something that works, kind of. PS. the Rosetta tick box is checked, and the printer is a canon G4010 and the permissions on the printer app look good.

Same printer, same woes! I am also so sick of this, I've almost vowed to never print or scan again - f it! Is this what apple wants, printer-less buttonless droogs of the future?

Every update of macOS, it's been the same: ur lucky if your canon MF printer still works... if not, it may be easier to buy a new printer / scanner than to get the old one back online. Thats what I did with the G4010 - worked great thru Catalina, then Big Sur first took out the scanner and now the printer Q.

I don't know what u mean, method above? There is no application really when using Canon G4010 - AirPrint. Just the native macOS one, which can be used to print just fine, but there is no print queue that comes up, like in previous versions of the OS. Also, the Scan function, which broke during late Catalina days with a cryptic error message, now does nothing, nada, zilch in latest Big Slur. It's a sad day when scanning from an iPhone is faster and more reliable than a multifunction printer scan. But it is, what it is.

DOesn't work for me either. I've tried loooking at the printers folder but can't find anything that has an "open in Rosetta" tick box. Possibly because both printers have oldish drivers that are Intel only. So I still can't open the print queues. Yesterday, it was all ok. :-(

Incidentally, all is fine if I use my old High Sierra iMac, so it looks like a Big Sur/M1 issue.

I've mostly only found plugins and, for the Canon, a Utility App. Because they're Intel apps, there is no tick box for running under Rosetta or not. I can't find anything else that looks like a printer driver.

Thank you. This fix works.

This didn't solve my issue (MacBook Air M1). I can't open the print queue for a Canon TS8051.

Did you try my solution?

@lucidinfernoo It didn't work for me either. I followed your advise and your solution worked just like you said! Thank you SO MUCH!! This has been driving me crazy!

This also worked for me!

This did not work for me. I can print but cannot open the printer queue.

Yes - I've done all that. And reset the printing system. :-(

Done that :-)

Thank you - that solved the problem for me.
