OSX 10.8 and Canon LBP6300dn

Ok, so I did it and I confirm I do not get the same URI, even when using the UK CAPT driver.

As a comparison, I checked with another shared printer that works well (Canon Pro 9000 Series).

With the LBP6300, when I try to print from the MacBook, I see it in the queue on the macBook screen but it nevers appears on the queue on the MacPro. After a few seconds, the queue of the MacBook pauses. I try relaunching but nothing happens.

In the System informations I have :

So what is stopping the LBP queue from being created correctly on the MacBook?

Has the CAPT driver ever been installed on the MacBook? If you open Finder and select Go > Go to Folder and then type

/Library/Printers/Canon

and press Go. Do you see a CUPSCAPT folder?

Also, using Go > Go to Folder, type

/Library/Caches/Canon

and press Go. Do you see a CUPSCAPT folder?

If yes to either (or both) then it indicates that the driver was installed on the MacBook. On my MacBook that was connecting to the shared printer on the iMac, I do not have a CUPSCAPT folder in either location.

ALLELLUIA !!!!!!!

Yes there was a previous installation of CAPT driver on the Macbook

I trashed everything on the Macbook : both CUPSCAPT folders + all Canon related files in the Printers>PPDs>Contents>Resources folder

Then I restarted the Macbook and in Prints and Scans, reinstalled the LBP6300 @ MacPro with UK CAPT Driver.

And now the printing from the Macbook works !

In the System Information of the Macbook I now have :

LBP6300 @ Mac Pro de Julie :

URI: dnssd://LBP6300%20%40%20Mac%20Pro%20de%20Julie._ipps._tcp.local.

How can I thank you ?

Great to read that you got it working.

Yes I have been testing this when I can. The issue so far is that I cannot get the same error as you have. But I have to mention that my test iMac is using a clean install of 10.8.2. There is no import of previous user data or applications. I just use the installer to make a new 10.8.2 volume and then install the CAPT driver.

Hi, I have problem making my LBP6300dn printer work, even after installing the driver CAPT (UK) v367. Any advice is most appreciated.
