Canon MF8330Cdn not printing text

Last week I migrated from my MacBook Pro early 2008 to a MacBook Pro early 2011.
On my old mac and also on the MacBook Air late 2010 of my wife printing to our Canon i-Sensys MF8330Cdn works fine.
On my new Mac only the graphics are printed and no text. This happens with the printer test page and all other printed pages.
I reinstalled the Canon driver (Mac UFRII Printer Driver V2.01 EN) and resetted the Mac printing system many times many times now without result.
I even tried rebooting in 32-bit kernel mode, because these new Macs unlike my old Mac appear to boot in 64-bits kernel mode by default now.
In the console log I find 19 times the following error message:
08-03-11 23:57:12 MF8330_3842ed[735] ATSFontGetFileReference failed: error -50
Which hints at a problem with fonts.
On the internet I find that Apple marked this API call as deprecated a few years ago.
Can it be that Apple removed support for this call from the CUPS API recently?

Another problem that occurs now is that the printer driver does not honor the configuration settings. I configurer it for type-2 paper (70..90 grams) but upon printing the printer halts with the message that it does not has type-1 paper loaded so I need to press a button before it starts printing.

Does anyone else have this problem or has an idea how to solve this short of reinstalling OSX from scratch and hoping that this solves the problem???

regards,

Chris J O.

Have uninstalled and re-installed twice. Please help!!!!
