Konica m2300w and Yosemite

[JHahn7837]

I just wanted to make sure you knew so that if you did have to downgrade you were not up a river without a paddle.

Thanks. Hope to avoid the river all together!

In summary, if you can afford to wait to see if the drivers get updated for Yosemite then go for it. Otherwise, I would wait and see on Mavericks where you still have functionality.

Used time machine to go back to the image from the morning before I upgraded. Back to normal now.

Glad you got a working solution.

the same as yours

my printer is Konica Monita 1200W, the older type than yours, didn't work any more after I update my mac to OS X yosemite, so sad.....🙁

I have been running my Konica Minolta m2300w laser printer on OSX 10.9.5 just fine using foomatic, ghostscript, and the m2300w driver found here:

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/macosx/m2300w

Since upgrading to 10.10, the driver no longer works and I get a filter failed message in the print queue when printing. I am wondering if anyone has some suggestions in order to get this driver working again. Any help is appreciated.

same help needed

Hi there,

i'm having the same issue as JHahn7837 but without the option of turning back using Time Machine. So frustrating that my Konica Minolta Pagepro 1350W isnt working with the foomatic, gplg & min12xxw anymore after Yosemite upgrade.

anybody out there know any solution or other workaround?

tried Resetting printer, reinstalling all 3 drivers, but with same result - filter error

The reason for the issue is that Yosemite changes the default location of some printing system files, including where driver executables should be.

I don't have this issue because I've had to revert to Mavericks for other issues (expensive software needs update).

Matt Broughton has a fix for "some" printer models that use foomatic-rip:
