I just upgraded to Yosemite (I assume it is no longer Beta), and my Canon LBP6000 stopped working.  If anyone has a suggestion, I'd like to hear it!

Hi smukhi and knipprs!

 

 I will be glad to assist you.  The driver is now available for the commercial release of the OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) driver.  I recommend uninstalling the previous driver before installing the latest driver.  To uninstall the driver, please follow the instructions below:

 

1. Click the [Printers & Scanners] icon in [System Preferences].
 
2.Select the printer you use on [Printers], then click [-].
 
3. Delete the printers that are registered, then close the [Print & Scan] dialog box.
 
4. Open Finder application of your Mac OS X.
 
5. Select [Go] → [Go to Folder] from the menu bar.
 
6. Enter the following folder locations, click [Go], then delete the files and folders.
Delete Example: You can delete files and folders by dragging them to the [Trash] icon in the Dock.
Location
Files and folders to delete
/Library/Printers/Canon/
CUPSCAPT
/Library/LaunchAgents/
jp.co.canon.CUPSCAPT.BG.plist
/Library/Printers/PPDs/
Contents/Resources/
Delete all the following files in the folders.
CNMCxxxAUS.ppd.gz
(xxx is a model name starting with [LBP].)
When the [Authenticate] dialog box is displayed
Enter the administrator's name and password, and then click [OK].
 
7. Close all open windows.
 
8. Restart your computer and empty the Trash Bin.
The printer driver is uninstalled.
 
Next, go to the imageCLASS LBP6000 - Drivers & Software page, and then download the file CAPT Printer Driver Ver.3.67 for Mac OS X 10.5/10.6/10.7/... listed under the [Recommended for You] section.
 
After installing the printer, please follow the instructions below to add the printer:
 

1. Click the [Printers & Scanners] icon in [System Preferences].

 

2. Click [+].

 

3. Click [Default], and then select the printer to be used from the printer list.

 

4. Select [Select Printer Software] from [Print Using].

 

5. Select the printer to be used from [Printer Software], and then click [OK].

 

6. Click [Add].

 

7. Make sure that the printer to be used is displayed, and then close the [Print & Scan] dialog box.

The printer registration is now completed.
