Hi Everyone,
The company I worked for recently inherited an used iR C5185 and I am trying to get it working. After configuring it I have 2 problems:
- For a while i was able to scan to SMB but it stopped working, I keep getting error 751. The share is on a Windows 2008 R2 server, everything seems to be configured right and I have done a lot of troubleshooting, after some research found that this is a common problem related to Windows SMB v1 protocol, a lot of people recommends upgrading the firmware as there may be a fix for the protocol included... I do not even know if the firmware on the printer is old or not, but seems like is not as easy as regular printers and involves getting Canon SST software and latest firmware, which are not publicly available... does anyone know if my firmware is very old and if upgrading it could really help on this issue?
Version Information
- The second problem is that the printer seems to need calibration, when printing with colors it looks awful as they are not properly aligned (I can post a scan if necessary). Maybe the printer got hit on transport or something. Is this something that can be fixed with software? is there any way to run a calibration utility or procedure, or will this require some kind of mechanical service? I could not find anything on the user interface or web interface for this...
It seems to me like everything in this printer is designed so you have to pay a Canon shop top $$$ for service even just to get them to diagnose a simple issue... Maybe someone here have some suggestion / guidance?
Thanks a lot!
