Current version on print.ads.carleton.edu: 21.55., dated October 5, 2015

On all Canon MFDs, we are using a recent Canon PS (PS = PostScript) driver, with its ability to dynamically detect the printer's features using Bi-Directional communication (via SNMP). Therefore, first detect the current settings: on the Device Settings tab, choose the Get Device Status button at the bottom. You will see the immediate communication with the device; after you acknowledge the OK button, all the options on this tab will be up-to-date.

...

If a printer is Offline (turned off or disconnected from the network), Bi-Di communication is not going to work and so printer features and defaults cannot be set correctly. You have to get the printer back online and seen by the server before you can continue. If you're not sure if the printer is really offline or not, look it up in CentreWare Web (CWW)–when CWW agrees that it's offline, then there is definitely a network communications problem that must be fixed. If a duplexer or tray is not being detected correctly, it's usually a physical problem: check that the duplexing unit or tray is installed and seated correctly. If a duplexer cannot be detected correctly, then the device options must be set manually. You can see a list of the installed options on the PostScript config page, described here .

CC5550 and 6555 Printing (driver) defaults

Once the printer driver, model, communications, and features are set correctly, then you can select printer default settings, which have to be set in the correct place. First, on the Advanced Tab, we do not change any of these settings except: for PaperCut-managed printers, turn off "Enable advanced printing features". (For the few printers not managed by PaperCut, leave this on for extra functionality.)  Now, from the Advanced tab, choose the Printing Defaults button. The dialog boxes you see here from here on are driver-specific; for the CC5051, you see 7 tabs.
