Networking a Canon iR5055 Photocopier

NGFireball · May 20, 2011

Hi all,

I am trying to connect your Canon iR5055 to the network so that we can do printing to it, but i am being quite unsuccessful.

I have gone to the photocopier and allowed HTTP traffic and given it a static IP, i have made sure RAW is enabled.

I can connect fine to the photocopier in windows 2003 and i have downloaded the PCL6 driver and installed them, i have also tried the UHF II drivers

after adding the printer i am able to use the Device Details button in the properties to get the device information but i cannot print to it.

anyone have any ideas what else i can try?

1. Can you ping the multifunction from the computer in question?

2. There have been known issues with some Canon PCL6 drivers. Try installing the PCL5e drivers.

Did you restart the copier and do you have ID codes in use?

yes i have restarted the photocopier, and no we dont

Edit:

canon man has been as it appears as my photocopier doesnt have a n at the end its not network ready, eh also checked the boot and it was only a C.

so i did everything right its just not got the software side on the photocopier, we can have it added for a only £508.....
