Solution

Uninstalling the printer driver on MAC

If a printer driver is no loner required, you can uninstall it by following the procedure below.

1. Open [System Preferences] -> click [Print & Fax].

2. Select the printer you are using -> click [-] icon.

If you are using Mac OS X 10.4.x, click [Printing] to pen the [Printing] pane.

Note:

Delete all print queues set from the driver you are deleting.

3. Delete the folders and files for the driver you are deleting.

  • [System Volume]/Library/Printers/Canon/UFR2
  • [System Volume]/Library/LaunchAgents/jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist
  • Mac OS X 10.4.x:
    [System Volume]/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/CNTD***Z*2*.ppd.gz
    Mac OS X 10.5 and later:
    [System Volume]/Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/CNTD***Z*2*.ppd.gz
    Where *** indicates a character string that represents the printer model, and *2* indicates a character string that represents the corresponding language.

Important

If you delete a "PPD.gz" file other than that of the printer model you want to delete, the printer driver may not work correctly.

Note:

If the [Authenticate] dialog box is displayed, enter the administrators name and password -> click [OK].

4. Restart your computer.

Uninstallation is complete.
