II've done the install of Yosemit, but I'm now unable to print on either of my printers, all the software for the printers are uptodate, just wondered if anyone else has had this problem and how did you rectify it?

I have the same problem. My Canon MG5470 multi-function printer+scanner worked perfectly via WiFi on Mavericks, but doesn't work on Yosemite. I downloaded Canon's drivers and software and have to use their own scanner software since the Mac "Image Capture" application or my favourite Vuescan refuses to recognise the scanner over the network. I somehow managed to get the print function working after deleting and re-installing the printer.


Changing the sandbox options to relaxed or off didn't fix it.

I too am having printer problems with Yosemite. BROTHER PRINTERS say they will have an updated driver by the END OF OCTOBER! Meanwhile they suggest:

We recommend contacting Apple about their inbox drivers that can be used temporarily until the 10.10 Brother drivers are released.

What are inbox drivers and has that worked for anyone else?? Thank you.

I have had the following reply from Brother ... no further forward 😟

At this time, drivers are not available for the 10.10 operating system. The software that will allow the machine to print is currently being updated and is set to be available later this month.


We have included a link directly below that you can click or copy and paste into an Internet browser to better assist with release dates and additional information regarding 10.10 Yosemite.

Hi everyone


I am experiencing the same problem with a Canon netwerk driver. When I try to print in one of the MS Office packet programs like Word, Excel or PowerPoint, the program immediately shuts down with the following error:

I have updated the MS Office package, but there seems to be no update for the Canon printer C5051. I've tried several of the ideas which were already posted, but unfortunately the printer still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Kind Regards,

You shouldn't have to buy a new printer (unless it's really old and there are no drivers available) - you'd just have the same problem with a new printer. A system update with printer driver updates: turn printer off after the update and then back on to load the driver. After pulling my hair out, I found turning off and then on did the trick. Sounds simplistic. Hope it works for you. Although nowadays, everything seems to update along with the OS X updates...
