Problems with Canon i-SENSYS MF8030Cn and OS x Lion

I have same problem.

I have similar problems. After a closer look I realized that Canon dont recommend upgrade if you are using aMF-printer. Should according to their site be possible to make it work to a lesser extent but I have failed so far. Please update with successful tampering. 🙂

A couple of things to check.

Open Print & Fax, select the MF8030 and then open Options & Supplies. Under the Driver tab, ensure that Job Accounting is not enabled.

Also, open a document and select to print. Then change the menu to Special Features. Also ensure that Job Accounting is not enabled. If it is, press the Printer Info button. This should update the driver settings and if Job Accounting is not enabled on the MF then the Job Accounting button should be removed from the Special Features pane.

I have tried this and it does not work, I'll update with my error message.

"Canon CMFP Printer Driver"

Printer is not responding.

Check the printer power connection, and then try sending printing job again."

The printer words with a 10.6 PB.

Everybody that upgraded to Lion has the same problem.

I contacted Canon in the Netherlands.They state that there just is no driver yet and that I should have checked that before upgrading to Lion. Starting today I should visit the Canon website often to look for a 10.7 driver.

Since this happened also with the upgrade to OS 10.6 my confidence in Canon is at its absolute low and this is surely the last Canon printer I ever bought.

Contact Canon Netherlands again and suggest they look at Service Information F7-T01-V34-10134-01 released by Canon INC. This service information indicates that the UFR2 v2.03 driver has been tested with Lion and will function with some limitations, as shown below.

This driver can be used after confirming and understanding the limited functions listed below.

Limited functions and workarounds

Limit 1: Printing is not possible when registering a print queue using IPv6.

Workaround: Connect with Bonjour if registering with IPv6.

There is no workaround if the device is not supported by Bonjour.

Limit 2: The following functions cannot be used when printing from some Preview/TextEdit applications.

• Retrieving Device Configuration Information
• Job Accounting

Workaround: None

Limit 3: Printing is no longer possible after updating to OS X Lion from Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.

Workaround: Reinstall this driver and register the print queue again.

The driver version with official OS X Lion support is scheduled to be released between October and November 2011.

Forgot to add the link to the UFR2 v2.03 driver for Lion.

I have the same problem. Have tried to remove the queue, then remove the old drivers and finally install the new drivers. Still the same problem.

If you are also getting the Confirm ID/Password pop up then select to print from Safari, rather than Preview or TextEdit as these apps are not compatible with the driver. With the print dialog open, change to the Special Features menu (you may need to press the Show Details button). Do you see a Job Accounting checkbox? If you do, then press the Printer Info button. This will open the Printer Information window and this will show if Job Accounting (aka Dept ID Management) is enabled. If there is no mention of Job Accounting, close the window and see if you can print from Safari without the Confirm ID window appearing.

Job accounting is not ticked. Still get "Canon CMFP Printer Driver Printer is not responding etc".

Hmm. When you said that you have the same problem I thought you meant the same problem as the OP with the Confirm ID window appearing.

So with this different error I think you have a problem with the UFR2 Backgrounder service. I then suggest the following steps to try.

1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax, select the UFR2 print queue and press the - (minus) button to remove the queue. Exit from Print & Fax

2. Open Finder and navigate to HD > Library > Printers > Canon and trash the UFR2 folder

3. Still in Finder, navigate to HD > Library > LaunchAgents and trash the file"jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist". Exit from Finder.

4. Open Activity Monitor and select the entry "UFRII Backgrounder" and then Force Quit. Exit from Activity Monitor.

5. Restart the Mac

Now install the v2.03 UFR2 driver again and see it that works.

Thanks for the support. Got it to work now.

I have Canon i-SENSYS MF8030Cn and Lion and I also get "Canon CMFP Printer Driver Printer is not responding" error. Job accounting is not ticked. I installed the v2.03 UFR2 driver and did everything PAHU suggested, without success... 😟

Wonderful solution PAHU, thanks a lot. Unbelievable that Canon did not fix this beforehand for het MF8300 series. I also encountered the printing problems after updating to OSX Lion. Very helpful again thanks!
