Oki C5800 Drivers For Mac
Some days ago I published a first solution for reactivating printing on OKI-printers from Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard some of you managed it to reactivate the printer by following the instructions – others are still coping with that problem. Also I was disappointed to see that the solution broke again and I wasn’t able to print from Snow Leopard again. That was really annoying – so I spent some time again to find a proper solution. Here it is: Version 2 of how to solve the problem and as always: no guarantee and on your own risk: Problem: After updating from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard to OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard the installed printer driver for the OKI-postscript driver does not work anymore.
Here it’s an OKI MFP C5540 but it should also work with other models, like the OKI C5450 or C8800. The printer diver was installed under Leopard and worked quite well. After finishing the update to 10.6 you are able to send a print job to the printer, but an error message shows up in the print queue. Diagnosis: Two bugs may cause the problem: Some of the OKI-printer drivers just disregard case sensitivity in their path names – this wasn’t a problem in former Mac OS X versions – but it is a problem in Snow Leopard. The other bug – which even leads to a malfunction if the path names are right – is some wrong file permissions. And this causes Snow Leopard to hiccup when you try to print on an OKI-Printer.
Solution: The easiest way to solve the problems and get rid of the bugs is following three major steps:. Delete the old OKI printer drivers under the folder “/Library/Printers/” if there are any. Install a new OKI driver. This will also create the folder “/Library/Printers/OKIDATA”. Then install the specific printer driver for your OKI-printer (especially the PPD file). Repair the file permissions.
You only need the OKI printer drivers and you have to put in some Terminal commands. But let’s do it step by step:. Log into your Mac as an administrator. Step 1: Delete the old OKI files and folders:. Don’t forget to backup your data before you start!.
Navigate to the following folder in the Finder and delete the folder “OKIDATA” or “Okidata” – if there is any. Within the folder “PPDs” you may find also some OKI files – at my Mac it was “Oki C5540.ppd” – delete also these files. Step 2: Re-installation of the OKI printer driver. The installation program of older printer drivers may cause problems when creating the “OKIDATA” folder: They may name this folder “Okidata” and put in an old OKfilterA-file. Therefore you should download and install the first.
Just click on the “Mac OS X.5” link on the printer driver page of OKIDATA-USA, download the installer. Then start the installer and put in your password. The installation program will create the folder “OKIDATA” as needed. If the C5550n MFP is not the OKI printer you have, you have to download install also the specific printer driver for. I had to choose the C5540n MFP.

The installation will not overwrite the folder OKIDATA and only put’s the missing PPDs into the right folders. Step 3: Repair folder & file permissions. Open the program “Terminal” – you’ll find it under “Programs/Utilities”. Input the following command into the appearing command-line window and finish it with pressing the return-key. I have SL update 10.6.2 installed on an iMac, does the above apply to this as well? My printer is an Oki C3600 and I’ve followed your recommended procedure, substituting the C3600 printer driver currently available from the Oki website, but the print job gets stuck in the print queue. The System Preferences/Print&Fax/Open Print Queue panel shows ‘Printer Ready’ and ‘The printer software was installed incorrectly.
Pleae reinstall the printer’s software or contact the manufacturere for assistance’ but apparently Oki don’t want to be contacted. This, from OKI support, just worked for the 3200N in Snow Leopard(contact support to get the driver/installer): There is one possible temporary fix until a driver is released. Try connecting the printer to a network router via the printer lan connection. It is located on the rear of the printer. The printers ip address will be needed.
After connecting run the attached mac installer. This is the mac installer for the european leopard driver for the C5650N. After running the mac installer try the instructions below. Click the blue/black apple, go to system preferences, print & fax, +, More Printers, select OKI TCP/IP, select the C5650N, type in the printer ip address, Add or + to Add the printer. I just did this for the OKI C3400 and I’m having the same issues as the 3200N. I’m seriously frustrated here.
I have a pretty high end printer that works AMAZING and I will NOT part with it. It’s literally the most frustrating thing trying to figure out how to get this damn thing going with my new iMac 10.6. I would go for an older version except I don’t know how to obtain the older versions and also my comp is new so I don’t know if I want to change things that much. I’ve downloaded the drivers for the OKI 3400 and when I go to set up my printer it won’t recognize it as a driver. It keeps it shadowed.
