Okidata C3400N Driver

I have exactly the same problem and was without a printer for several days. Yesterday I found by chance a document on an OKI web page (OKI printer driver compatibility with Mac OS X Mavericks and Yosemite rev.5) which states that the printer should work when connected via USB cable. I did try it and it actually did the trick: I can print again, if not via my network.

What I found interesting is OKI's statement in this document, that "TCP/IP support is under consideration." So they actually consider the option of updating the printer driver? How very kind and customer oriented!

I just got off the phone with Oki customer support. There isn't a driver, in 10.10 for Okidata printers.

This happens every time there is a new OS. Apple leaves out Okidata. Why?

I was told it could take up to 3 weeks or more.

I wish I hadn't updated.

I had the same problem but I've been able to get it to work over wifi via usb. I've plugged the C3400n into a USB hub that is connected to the USB input on my Time Capsule. Deleted the original set up in each of my computers, then added it back via default (Bonjour) and it loaded fine. Now it works over my Airport network.

I finally got mine to print.

From system preferences, I selected Printers & scanners.

From the printer set-up window, I removed the Oki printer, using the Minus tab, lower left corner.

Using the Plus tab at the bottom left corner, I selected Oki c3400n printer USB

Then under Default Printer, I selected OKI DATA CORP C3400

I'm not sure if this is the proper way but it worked.

Thanks to all, for your help.

Maybe you can find a driver here.

HPIJS for Mac OS X

Please ignore the youtube spam by crazy gamer. All he does is post those videos into every thread about a printer not working.

Put some pressure on OKI via support requests. I've gotten caught in the fold between OS updates and lack of driver updates before with Canon and HP. Unfortunately they decided to sell new printer with new drivers, so I've changed scanner & printer twice; once when OS X came out and once with 10.7. But, I'm under the impression that 10.9 to 10.10 only requires minor work; as some manufacturers had compatible drivers right off the bat. So don't lose hope. Put in support requests.

I don't know if you have heard, but there is finally an update that will allow you to print wirelessly without a work around. Use the Hiper-C download.

Don't know of any secrets. I connected my OKI printer to my Time Capsule's USB port, just as philfromto had suggested, and print without any problem.

Followed your lead installing my Okidata C3400 as a USB printer. However, am still getting "'Filter' failed" error - not printing.

Have Yosemite 10.10 on an Early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 GB ram, lots of HD free. Everything else but printer work fine.

Would appreciate suggestions. I, too, am following Okidata's site - with disappointment so far. At least their tune has evolved over the last several weeks.

I just spent an hour on the phone with an OKIDATA tech and we uninstalled and reinstalled the printer 40 different ways. We could get it to print using the usb cable and the newly loaded driver, but it would not print over the network using my router. He kept telling me how old my printer was and how support for it had been discontinued... blah blah blah. Why is it so hard fro them to update the software to include the same capabilities as before? If they think I am going to buy another printer just because they won't pay someone to finish the job, they can be sure that the next printer will NOT be and OKIDATA.
