: New Firmware Updates Are Available: EOS R7 - Version 1.3.0 EOS R10 - Version 1.3.0 : New firmware version 1.8.1 is available for EOS R6 But I do hope they step up their game to be more proactive. I definitely do not see Canon going that route. Still, there are indeed companies that refuse to embrace the new architectures. In all cases, Apple has provided the ability to create "Universal apps" and thus have allowed folks the best possible transition. Or the older CFM app binaries to mach-o binaries. This is no different that all of the past architecture transitions: For hardware, this was 68K to PowerPC, PowerPC to Intel, and now Intel to Apple Silicon. Then, when the time comes, just provide Apple Silicon. Going forward, I would hope that Canon creates all their software as Universal (Apple Silicon plus Intel). And, by extension, companies maintaining the Intel-based solutions will slowly drop support of that firmware/software over the years. Once Apple's entire lineup of Macs are on Apple Silicon, they will start to phase out support of Intel-based Macs. This technology should at least be around for another two years and perhaps a year or two beyond that. However, would companies such as Canon choose to not port the software for older hardware?Īs of now, I think printer drivers will be emulated via Apple's Rosetta2 technology. It shouldn't take too long to transition to Apple Silicon. At that time, the drivers should have all been 64-bit Intel. In this manner, the company can work out issues before public releases.Īlong with that though is the concept of longevity. Or, in the Apple Silicon case, to have obtained Apple's hardware DTK (developer transition kit). There are effectively two types of companies out there: those that are proactive and those that are reactive.įor example, if a company creates hardware requiring drivers, it's best if that company works with the pre-release versions of the operating systems to work out any issues. Long answer below from a software engineer's persective: If you still can’t print, reset the printing system.Short answer: no idea. Try deleting it and setting up your printer again. If none of the previous solutions work, the printer’s queue may be corrupted. If you’re using an AirPrint-enabled printer, check with your printer’s manufacturer to see if any updates are available for your printer model. If you still have problems, try a different version of printer software. If you’re using a network printer or a printer connected to your Mac, make sure you have the latest version of the software for the printer. On your Mac, to find out which version of printer software you’re using, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Printers & Scanners in the sidebar.Ĭlick the printer in the Printers list on the right, click Options & Supplies, then check the Driver version.Ĭontact with the printer manufacturer to see if you have the latest driver version. If you’re using a printer that another user is sharing, make sure you’re both using the same version of the printer software. Make sure you have the correct version of your printer’s software (also called its printer driver). If you still can’t print, see the additional troubleshooting information below. If the printer’s name appears in the hardware list but the printer doesn’t work, review the printer’s documentation for further troubleshooting information. Press and hold Option, then choose Apple menu > System Information. If your printer is connected to your computer’s USB port, check the System Report to see that it has an active connection. If you use a shared printer connected to another Mac, make sure the Mac has macOS 10.5 or later installed, isn’t in sleep, and has sharing turned on. If the network has multiple printers, check which printer you chose-it may be different from the one you think you chose. If the printer is on the network, make sure your Mac and the printer are still on the same network, the printer is turned on, and the network isn’t experiencing problems. If your printer is connected to your Mac, make sure the printer cable is firmly connected, and the printer is plugged into an electrical outlet, and turned on. If you’re having trouble printing, first try these suggestions:
