When will Canon drivers be updated for Mac Big Sur operating system?

[BobVB3]

The current drivers for Canon printers on Apple produts have never worked with the beta of the Big Sur operating system. (they only print table outlines but no text).  Feedback to Apple acknowledges that many people have reported this but the reply is the "OS is operating as currently designed", meaning Apple feels its Canon's problem.

Once the OS is public, how long will it be until Canon releases updated drivers? Anyone have any insight, experience, or notion of when (or if) they will do so?

I'm not sure why Canon has not posed this as a temporary solution - use the "Canon UFR II/UFRII LT/LIPSLX Printer Driver & Utilities for Mac Version 10.19.7" This works on a MacBook pro with OSX 11.1 While the "Ultra Fast Rendering" driver has a disclaimer that it cannot print in high reolution, it does seem to work well. A description comparing URF II & PCL drivers can be found here:   https://www.ontariocopier.ca/difference-between-pcl-ufr-ii-postscript-print-driver/

This solved my problem! EASY FIX!

IPF8400 on Big Sur with print Plugin and Print Layout Plugin not printing... Wlorks for Catalina too, Maybe other Printer models??

Had trouble with Export to IPF8400 Print Plugin. Latest driver (5.50), Plugin (6.0.2) and Photoshop (21.2.2). Everything would appear to work (artwork would preview fine, spool fine and bring up the Print Monitor), but nothing would appear at the printer.

The fix:

• Export>IPF8400 Print Plugin

• Click "Set Configuration" on main window 

• Turn off "Perform printing in the background"

• Set up printing, etc., as normal

The setting should be remembered from then on.

Print Studio Pro plugin update.

Having emailed Canon ofor the possible update for Print Studio Pro plugin driver I recived the reply below.

"In response to your enquiry regarding to the macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) Print Studio Pro plugin compatible with your PIXMA PRO-10 device, we regret to inform you that the software for this operating system have not yet been developed.

Canon are currently working on development of these drivers and software and will be available as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we do not have a release date of when this will be.

We therefore advise to consult our download centre, as they will available to download and install from there. Please find the link to this section below."

I cannot believe that such a big company is so slow on this!

Same problem here with a Pixma MX340 ink jet printer. No driver option available siince updating to Big Sur on a Macbook Air. The only device I can now print from is my old iPhone via the Canon app but that's not helpful with large design files. Any suggestions?

I was able to download a driver for my LBP6230dw from the Canon website and now my printer is working with Big Sur.

Hello Canon Community! 

I've just spoken to Irene at Canon Customer Care (Europe) and the good news is that a print driver for Big Sur is being developed, thank heavens. I did tell Irene to ask her colleagues to make haste as more Mac users are being encouraged to upgrade to Big Sur.

Irene said to keep on checking for the Big Sur driver as she couldn't give a date.

Here's to printing on my vintage Canon printer again.

Keep well and safe.

Would you Adam and Eve it, as soon as I sent my first message, I then checked the Canon website and there is a Big Sur print drive available in Brexitland/The UK:

The suggestion to go to the Singapore Canon site worked. I got a driver for my ImageClass MF236 printer here:
