After updating OXS to El Capitan, my Canon iP 1800 will not send or recognize print jobs. In the status box I can see pages being sent to printer, and then stopped- pages not found.
Can't find info anywhere to correct this.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
The last version of driver that Canon released for the iP1800 was v10.67.2.0 which supported OS X 10.8. I was able to install this v10.67 driver on OS X 10.11, but I don't have an iP1800 to test that it will print.
If you wanted to try this driver then I suggest you first open Printers & Scanners and remove the iP1800 that you currently have. Next step is to open Finder and from the Go menu select Go to Folder. Then enter /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter and press the Go button. Inside the BJPrinter folder you will see several folders, such as Filters, Frameworks and Plugins. Trash all of these files and then restart your Mac. When you have logged back in download and install the iP1800 v10.67 driver I have linked to above. Note that when the installer is almost finished you may get a prompt about you needing Xcode tools to support one of the driver commands. Click Yes for the necessary files to be downloaded from the App Store. When this Xcode install has completed, open Printers & Scanners and add the iP1800 again. Hopefully this will get you printing again.
If this v10.67 driver does not print then you may need to look at using an alternate driver package, such as Gutenprint (which is free but has some issues on 10.11) or PrintFab (which costs €49 but works well on 10.11)

That was brilliant! I have been without this printer for 2 days and off to a business trip later this week. Thought I was going to have to go buy another printer!
I scoured the internet, Apple, and Canon all day looking for solutions. Yours was the most clear and lead me to the right procedure.
I followed your instructions to the letter - and when the moment of truth came, a document was sent to the printer and then the ink cartridge level was low (it's ALWAYS something)! So of course - no printing! I didn't have new cartridges, but was able to play around with the existing cartridge, resetting the ink level to "fool" the system it and printed out a perfect document! I was pretty sure it was going to work, because the file sat in the queue without the former message that there were no pages found.
Before receiving your instructions, I did try something another person did which was to delete the Canon iP1800 from the printing list and reboot. That didn't work and I went onto Canon to see if I could re-download the Print file, it came back with a message that there are no drivers for my new OX S El Capitan.
So even though I could pull back up the Canon iP1800 USB file, there was no driver or software per their website.
Thanks for the timely assistance. Hopefully it will work for more experiencing the same problem!
Take care :-)
thanks a lot for your comments you saved my printer.
Thank you for posting this suggestion. I spent an entire day trying to solve this problem. After reading your post, I followed your steps and my printer is now working. Thank you!
