Printing: Adding a Canon Printer in Mac OS X 10.4.x Tiger Users with Canon printers, including Canon imageRUNNER printers and copiers, can print to those devices from OS X 10.4.x Tiger. (Support for OS X previous to 10.4.x Tiger is provided by Apple and Canon but these instructions are based on a 10.4.x Tiger environment.) To create the connection, you will need to download and install drivers for your printer or copier from Canon and set up the printer using Apple's Printer Setup Utility.

Canon provides a common driver for many imageRUNNER models, including the following:. imageRUNNER C3100, C3170i, C3170U, C5800, C6800, 105, 105+, 2230, 2830, 2870, 2270, 3300, 2800, 2200, 3300i, 3320G, 3320i, 2220i, 3320N, 2220N, 3530, 4570, 3570, 5000i, 6000, 5000, 6020, 5020, 6020i, 5020i, 6570, 5570, 7200, 8070, 85, 8500, 85+ and 9070. Color imageRUNNER C2620, C3200, C3220 For the most up-to-date list of supported models, check the PDF that comes with the driver. Installation Instructions and run it; it will require all other applications to close, and then for you to restart the machine after the installation is complete. It will also ask you to authenticate at the beginning of the installation; you will need an administrator account to install these drivers.

Note: For Leopard systems the instructions below are roughly accurate, but the driver is different, go for the Leopard driver. Once the software is installed, you can create a new printer in OS X by selecting Print & Fax in the System Preferences, available from the Apple menu or in /Applications/Utilities. After you click on Print & Fax, click the '+' button to add a printer. The Printer Setup Utility application will open. At the bottom of the window click More Printers. The popup menu at the top of the new window allows you to select the protocol.

Click it and select Canon IP (PS), then type in the printer's IP address. The printer information will be automatically gathered and you will now see the printer listed in the Print & Fax preference pane. You can add additional Canon printers by repeating the steps that follow the driver installation. Enabling Job Accounting Some departments have enabled job accounting on their Canon printers, requiring users to supply an account number and numeric password to print. To enable job accounting, first enter the print dialog of any application.

This can usually be triggered with the command-P keyboard command or by selecting 'Print.' From the File menu. Next, select 'Special Features' from the third pop-up list; when you first see the print dialog it will say 'Copies & Pages'. Towards the bottom of the window find and click the Job Accounting. Button to bring up the job accounting dialog. Enter the account number and password in the new dialog box. (To obtain your account number and password please contact your administrative assistant or site specialist.) Click OK to save your changes.

I’m having an issue with a Canon IR Advanced C2020 on the Mac side. We have the printer connected to the network and printing from Windows machines using the UFRII driver but I can’t seem to get any Macs printing to it. A quick rundown of relevant info:.

It’s assigned a static IP which is pointed to by a hostname. Wd external hard disk for mac. It only has UFRII installed, no other printing protocols.

We haven’t locked any ports on the machine down yet (including LPD/LPR). Job accounting is turned on. The Mac's are all running 10.6.x with the test machines I've been running at 10.6.6. Troubleshooting steps taken thus far and their results:. I was getting an error that stated “Incorrect ID or Password; Specify the correct ID and Password.: 15513” however a Google search around this error wasn’t very helpful.

I should also note that no Dept. ID prompt appeared before this error. I changed the hostname to an IP address and the error above went away and it started prompting for a Dept. However when I would print something I would get the following error: “Printer in use. Waiting for the print job to finish” which appeared despite no print jobs running on the printer. I’ve tried various different queue names from LP to LP1 to LPD to print and none of them changed the above behavior. Disabling the firewall seemed to change the behavior from the 15513 error when a hostname is entered to the print queue error however when I tried that again this morning there was no change so that may have been an unrelated thing.

I’ve tried the PPD drivers which were useless. When I disabled job accounting on the printer and tried to print after re-adding the printer sans job accounting I received the same error that the printer was in use. I’m really hitting an idea wall and I was hoping someone out there might have an idea as to why this is happening and what I could do to fix it.
