Canon generic print driver

The Canon generic print driver is available for:

  • PCL6

    Print driver name: Canon Generic PCL6 Driver

  • PostScript

    Print driver name: Canon Generic PS3 Driver

  • UFR II

    Print driver name: Canon Generic UFR II Driver

If possible, ALWAYS select the print driver name that includes a version number. This is to mitigate that Windows cannot differentiate between versions of the print driver unless the version is reflected in the print driver name.

Language support:

  • All (+23) languages within the print driver.

    Select a language on the Device Settings tab in the Printer properties dialog box. Select Language Settings.

Configuration

In Printix Administrator, you can add a new print driver configuration. The temporary printer's Printer properties dialog box will open automatically. Proceed to make the configuration:

  1. In the Printer properties dialog box, select the Device Settings tab.
  2. Select Device Information to ask the printer. If you cannot contact the printer, select the Device type manually.
    Example: A3, Color
  3. Optionally, adjust:

    • Finishing settings

    • Paper source settings

    • Department ID management

      This feature is NOT supported with Printix as the IDs cannot be verified by the printer, because after being converted by Printix, the print queue is using a local IPP port.

  4. Select Apply.
  5. Optionally, open the Advanced tab and select Printing Defaults to configure per-printer defaults.
  6. Select OK.
