Mods, please note that I will be cross-posting this to the Professioonal Photo Printers forum.
There are several Canon printers here; the above mentioned MB5420 and PRO-100 as well as an MF249dw.
Conditions:
Mac Mini late 2012, 16GB memory, 500GB SSD, i7, Catalina (updated current as of 9/11/2020)
Canon Maxify MB5420 (Current as of 9/12/2020)
Canon PIXMA PRO-100 (Current as of 9/12/2020)
Canon ImageCLASS MF249dw (Current as of 9/12/2020)
All the above devices are connected via Ethernet, with static mapped IP addresses.
Observation:
Driver installations appeared to be completely normal using "Canon Inkjet Network" for the MB5420 and the PRO-100.
When the CUPS print drivers for all the above printers are installed, I am unable to print to the PRO-100. "Filter failed" error message. When I remove the drivers for the MB5420, print jobs for the PRO-100 are processed normally. The presense of the MF249dw driver has no effect on the PRO-100. The presense of scanner drivers for the MB5420 has no effect on the PRO-100. Printing to any of these devices from a Windows 10 Pro machine is normal with all drivers installed.
Desired endgame:
I would prefer to have the MB5420 available to me as the default printer for everyday use.
Ideas?
