I have a costumer that has C300i. they have had it for quite a while. They do use user authentication. The ones that uses mac computers and I Phones can no longer print to the copier. It shows off line or never prints. look in the job list, nothing there from a mac since Monday morning. Updated the firmware to G00-75 and rechecked sleep and power settings--all good. turn off authentication, still will not print. The drivers were downloaded and install from KM site. Using a MAC, I can get on the pagescope. Now the part that has me stumped, ALL PCs print fine with zero problems. What am I missing? I know some mac but not a clue on this issue. Thanks.

Re: i Series printing with mac
Have the Macs upgraded the operating system recently?
I've seen this before at a real estate office. All agents using Macs. All updated OS last week. All cannot print now. It was on Toshiba printers but the same principle. It turns out that Toshiba had not yet written a PPD for this particular version of the OS, but an older version worked ... or used to work until the most recent update. Now it doesn't work.
All I could recommend is downgrading the OS, until Toshiba catches up. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Do not use Air Print on the Macs. It is just as bad as the WSD port on Windows. Setup by IP using the LPD port.Comment

Re: i Series printing with mac
Try installing the PostScript driver on a PC and see what happens to help isolate the problem.
I would highly recommend installing it on your notebook and not on one of their PCs. No point in risking really snarking someone off should something stupid happen.“I think you should treat good friends like a fine wine. That’s why I keep mine locked up in the basement.” - Tim HawkinsComment

Re: i Series printing with mac
The new McIntosh system update to operating system Catalina 10. 1. 5 is causing major compatibility issues. The new operating system no longer recognizes any 32-bit programs, including all of the Konica drivers for Emperon controllers. There is no work around at this time, and SSD said that there will be a new driver available by the end of January. The upgrade to EFI for their new 6.4 operating system with 64-bit drivers is required with this new upgrade. At this point, there is no known fix for the machines equipped only with an Emperon controller.

I have personally tested and can confirm that the Toshiba V7.99 driver aka ColorMFP-V7 USA works A-OK with the latest iOS 10. 15.2 Catalina Mac OS.

Hi, for safety I would try to disable IP filtering in the network settings. A customer was unable to install the driver and was unable to locate the C250i. By disabling ip filtering, it worked again.Comment

Re: i Series printing with mac
i always disable filtering. not really sure why anyone would need it.Comment

Re: i Series printing with mac
The mac I was using has High Sierra on it. IP filters are off. Air Print is off. They use their wifi to print if they are not at their desks.Comment

Re: i Series printing with mac
That's right, in addition to a security problem I believe that it can be convenient in trapped networks. If many network packets are running and there is ip filtering, the MFP accepts only packets from authorized computers, thus avoiding possible network flooding.
Regarding the problem, after the upgrade to G00-75 did you change the dipswitches from 00 to 01? Also remember to restart the MFP.Comment
