Canon LBP 6200d No longer printing on 10.9.5

I have a Canon LBP 6200d compact laser printer and it was working fine with the UK CAPT driver. I must have installed an update form Apple or something and now it no longer works. I removed the driver, added it again, deleted this and that in the /library/ folder and re-installed the CAPT software 3.67 and still nothing. It shows up in the USB discovery. I can add it and choose the LBP6200 UK CAPT selection and then it shown a green light idle online but when I send anything to it the light goes yellow and the job spools indefinitely.

So did Apple "seal" up this loophole of being able to print to a printer that is officially not supported by Mac in the US (It seems to be supported everywhere else).

Thanks!

If it was working prior to installing 10.9.5 then what did change was the security on third party plugins. And even though you did install v3.67, there is a chance that there is leftovers from the previous version of CAPT driver.

So remove the LBP6200d from Printers & Scanners. Then open Finder and navigate to /Library/Printers/Canon and trash the CUPSCAPT folder. Still in Finder, navigate to /Library/LaunchAgents and trash the Canon CAPT fie. Then navigate to /Library/Caches/Canon and trash the CCPD folder. With all these trashed, restart the Mac and after logging back in, run the v3.67 installer again and then add the printer. Now see if you can print.

If it still fails to print then open System Information and select Printers in the left column. If this is the only printer then the right pane will have information about the printer. Copy this info and paste back here for me to check.

Your information shows that you have a mix of the older v3.66 and the new v3.67. Each of the sections that show 3.66 should show 3.67. So try removing the printer from Printers & Scanners and follow the instruction again for removing the CAPT driver. Then install the v3.67 again and add the printer.
