Printer issues after installing Mojave

Does Apple ever actually do anything to fix the messes they cause or do they just lean on the printer manufacturers to scramble and create new drivers every time Apple releases another shoddy OS that does nothing but add frivolous cosmetic things while breaking functionality that are crucial to people who's livelihood relies on being about to freakin print.

And its rather insulting that the banner ad at the top of this thread is pushing people to "Upgrade to macOS Mojave". Pfft.

I have Canon MG6360 and recently upgraded to Mojave. Problem is with printing from Preview and Safari the print options are not the same as before Mojave upgrade. Not able to print in grayscale even when its selected and no duplex printing.

Printing from Chrome there is no problems as there is an option to print using system dialog which then gives you the same printing options as before the upgrade to Mojave. Any suggestions to get my print options back for Preview would be appreciated. PS have tried the deleting the printers and adding with no luck. Many thanks

I'm having the same issues with my Brother laser printer, even after downloading updated drivers for Mojave OS X 10.14.3 and got ZERO help from Apple's chat, only to have one guy say it may be a Brother printer issue, but couldn't explain why it worked fine on my OLD 2009 model iMac.

The print screen feature to pdf in Chrome no longer works either. So it's not just for physical printers. Loads of unnecessary crap added with Mojave but we can't print or change the calendar app notification sound setting. Seems like they removed the basic functional features in exchange for shiny new useless things.

Just a question to Apple since there are over 850 people (including me) with variations of the same issue: "Printing worked fine prior to macOS Mojave upgrade, but is broken since the OS upgrade".

• Is anyone from Apple looking into this issue to see what got broken? (Note: I've tried most of the fixes with no success at all and don't appreciate the tone of the answers implying this is something the customers need to fix.)
• Is this amount of chaos in the printer support world typical for a macOS upgrade? If not, is someone looking to see what was different about Mojave?

I use a Canon MX926...Printing from say Word is fine, but trying to print b/w emails is not possible. I have lost the quality and media option in the email printing screen. I used to go to Printer features and turn greyscale on but that does not work either, nor does double sided in email. What can I do?

I have spoken with Canon and they say it is an Apple software glitch.... Any advice?

I have the same issue none of my networked printers work anymore after the Mojave upgrade some of them are multi-functioning, so the scanner is no longer working. If I connect a USB cable to my computer/printer I am able to use one of the printers. The other one is networked only.

I tried to reset the printers and it still does not work correctly for the networked printers.

Kodak ESP5250 - a quick search of the Kodak downloads seems to only produce a driver pack dated 22nd October 2015, and that says that it is compatible with MacOS versions up to 10.11.x. So the answer appears to be probably not.

Unfortunately manufacturers aren't very good at keeping old products up to date for new system versions. That may be to do with the fact that they make their money from selling you new devices, although some manufacturers are better than others.

In addition in this case, given that Kodak exited the inkjet market altogether back in 2012 or so, and this device dates back to 2010, I am afraid that the time has almost certainly come to move on to a different manufacturer and a new printer.

Regarding the missing color settings, do you see them in the Printer Features panel? Do you see them in the expected place in Microsoft apps, if you have any?

I couldn't believe it but it is in fact there in the Microsoft apps.

So I guess I will just have to wait and see if this is going to change. At least it was right to inform Canon about it. Although they don‘t seem to care that much about it.

Today I got an answer from Canon (Germany). They sent my request to Canon UK and there someone could reproduce the problem. Now they will get in touch with Canon Europe and hope for a solution.

how do u restore back to sierra, im having same issue

It's been changed to the link I provided in my last post..

Canons latest answer basically was that all of this is Apples fault. But they apologize for the inconvenience...
