Canon LBP3100/LBP3108/LBP3150 - not working since upgrade to Yosemite!

I use a Canon LBP 3018 at work, and had no problems with it until upgrading to Yosemite. Since then, the printer does not work. I have downloaded the latest driver, the CAPT driver for LBP3100/LBP3108/LBP3150 - which is the same one that previously worked. However there is zero functionality now. The CAPT status monitor returns an error message "Incompatible Pinter. The connected printer cannot be used."


I'm frustrated. It worked before, and now it doesn't, but I WANT it to work again.

I suggest you trash the CAPT driver and supporting files.


First step is to open Printers & Scanners and remove the LBP3018


Next, open Finder and select the Go menu then Go to Folder. Enter the following path and then press the Go button.


/Library/Printers/Canon/


Here you will see a folder called CUPSCAPT. Trash this folder.


Still using Finder, use the Go > Go to Folder and enter the following path followed by the Go button.


/Library/LaunchAgents/


Here you will see a file called "jp.co.canon.CUPSCAPT.BG.plist". Trash this file.


Still using Finder, use the Go > Go to Folder and enter the following path followed by the Go button.


/Library/Caches/Canon


Here you will see a folder called CUPSCAPT. Trash this folder.


Now empty the Trash and restart the Mac. After you log back in open Printers & Scanners and add the LBP3018. Now see if you can print.

Every apple "grade change" calling them "upgrades" is a bit of propaganda disables this very adequate and reliable printer LBP3108 and every "grade change" I have to spend an hour or so finding the fix. this was very helpful.cheers.
