Printer woes on 10.8.4

[nschaufenbuel]

I am trying to setup canon ir 5075 copiers with mailboxes onto our
Teacher Macbooks. I have tried both the updated ps and UFRII drivers for os
x 10.8. I am trying IPP and it is able to read the printer toner levels and
how much paper is in the copier but it says unable to connect to printer
when I try printing. I tried LDP (and it prints), but it bypasses the mailbox options as in 10.7, even when I have job accounting setup. Am I missing a step? Thanks!

Are you printing to a spooler or directly to the RIP?

I've noticed that for whatever reason, Canon's iR/iRA/iRA+ line are a fickle bunch.

What I wound up doing was deploying the UFRII driver pack, then writing a bash script to deploy the printer locally. (I make extensive use of Self Service for printers, and I like the control I have with the scripts better than the plug-in-play aspect of Casper which sometimes doesn't quite play nicely with some printers). Also, my help desk team uses Bomgar and they can then also use the the same thing in their session windows as well.

I had some fun with duplexing on the 5240i. I blogged about it.

Maybe the method that worked for me helps?
