printer problem

Hi,

Drivers for the Canon PIXMA MP280 can be found here (different regions):

https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/inkjet/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp280.html?type=drivers&language=en&os=macos%2011.0%20(big%20sur)

Did you already try the above drivers? You could also reset the printing system and re-add the printer.

Reset the Mac printing system to solve a problem - Apple Support

Add a printer on Mac - Apple Support

I necessary, copy (or print a test page) directly from the control panel in order to verify that the printer is working. Alternatively, connect the printer to another computer for a test.

currently I experience exact same problem as above, using M1 Mac, already downloaded latest drivers, when I do print, error shown "Missing USB class driver"

is it specific problem occur only on M1 Mac ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

First of all, do you have the updated macOS Big Sur 11.1?

If so, I can only suggest that you try everything in my response to pilarreza (if necessary, including drivers from another region). This printer model is USB only, so the alternative to try a network connection is not possible.

The experimentally inclined (with access to the necessary equipment) could possibly be willing to carry out a test with a Wi-Fi-to-USB print server (or Ethernet-to-USB) for the printer connection to a Wi-Fi router. Alternatively, to connect the printer to a USB port of an AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base station. This just to investigate whether it makes any difference at all (the computer would then use a wireless network connection instead of USB). Because of the protocols involved, do not expect it to work.

oh, forgot to mention, I'm also using Canon MP280 Printer
