Iwork in Konica Minolta (Hong Kong) as technical support, although the website has not been updated, but we confirmed all MacOS 10.15 Catalina drivers work on Big Sur too on Mac PCs running in Intel chip, but not the new Apple M1 chip.

Also, the Konica Minolta bizhub C258 is listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support as a model supporting the driverless AirPrint technology. If AirPrint is enabled on the printer, it should be possible to print without having to install drivers. The printer and the computer must be connected to the same network (subnet).


Mi dispiace contraddire ma i driver del Modello C2060L con il sistema MacOS Big Sur non risponde bene, ho problemi soprattutto nell'inviare i file in stampa conservandoli nella memoria della Stampante.


Troubleshooting this, Konica Minolta's US site did not have any updated drivers since 2016 (driver version 5.4) but I found a 2020 driver intended for OS X Catalina (driver version 5.10.0) on the Konica Minolta Europe site. The Europe package looks like it might be A4 only when downloading, but the package actually contained both A4 and US Letter.


After installing this driver on my M1 MacBook, I was able to re-install the printer using the IP address of the printer, and selecting the installed proper driver during the normal process solved the problem. My M1 MacBook is reliably printing using this driver.


I have Macbook air 13" with Catalina OS. I also have a Konica Minolta bizhub 184 164 multiprofession multifunction printer but I am unable to use it with my Macbook bec I am unable to find driver for it. Kindly somebody help me.


HQ replied that all existing macOS v10.11 or later (with Intel processor) printer drivers work on Big Sur (v11) EXCEPT macOS (with Apple M1 chip). 1680mf is discontinued model and I do not have the device in Hong Kong for confirmation.


In our experience, Konica Minolta HQ will update us the OS compatibility list around 3 months after any new OS released. And not just basic printing, they will also confirm other printing features and quality requirement.


Just like ARM-based Windows PC such as "Microsoft Surface Pro X", HQ confirmed no printer driver available for it. You may add the printer using built-in IPP Class driver but printer features would be limited.


Yes I know, but it always worked with the driver from printer 1680MF or 1690MF. I've printed with my old MacBook on the magi color 1600W for 3 years but now I have the new M1 MacBook and it doesn't work.


I posted about this on page 1. My prior Intel MacBook with macOS Catalina worked with the old Konica drivers, and I never upgraded to the Konica-approved Catalina driver, nor did I even realize there was a newer version because the Konica US website has not been updated to display it.


Just looking for you, and I'm seeing the same thing. I also looked on the Hong Kong site. It does not appear that Konica Minolta ever released a MacOS Catalina driver for that model printer. My guess is you might be SOL.


So, while the 10.15 drivers GENERALLY work on Big Sur, they do not actually have the same compatibility that they do on 10.15 when run on Big Sur. That should be tested and revised for a macOS 11.x release of the Konica Minolta C364e drivers.


will there also be updated drivers for smaller printers? I downloaded the drivers with the links, because I saw the links in the mail I got so I could get to the Dropbox. but none of the drivers works for my printer where I used to print with the 1680 MF driver.


The way I have it set up is that my laserjet 1000 is plugged into a seperate old PC running windows 2000 with laserjet 1000 drivers loaded on it as its shared by various household computer ranging from Macbook to XP and now windows7.


I have tried what you proposed, but unfortunately I have a window saying "Please make sure the printer is connected to the USB port and powered on. Detecting connection..." and it remains stuck that way.


Then, Right-Click on the Laserjet1000 printer > Properties > Hardware > Properties > Change Parameters > Driver > Updated Pilote > I chose the "choose drivers locally" and then choose "Konica" as manufacturer, then selected the "2430DL" model. After driver insalled, I made the proposed change (Winprint/RAW), but when trying to print the test page, nothing happens, and the printer enters the error state.


Thank you so much Anthony! How in the world did you figure all this out?



For those of you who need a little more direction, I will elaborate on Anthony's instructions with a step-by-step guide:



The printer needs to be plugged into a computer that is running a 32-bit version of Windows and networked to your Windows 7 64-bit machine. The computer running 32-bit Windows will be your print server. On the 32-bit machine, install the HP drivers found here:



and share the printer over the network.



On the computer running Windows 7 64-bit, download and unzip the magicolor 2430DL driver that Anthony pointed to.

Double click on \mc2430DL_win7_x64_v2024200\En\Setup.exe.

When setup asks what components to install, only select the driver, deselecting the other options, and click OK.

Next, it will ask you whether it's a local or network printer. Select Local Printer and click OK

Next, under Select Port, select Other, leaving the drop-down box as is and click OK.

Change the name to 'hp LaserJet 1000' and click OK.

The printer driver should install successfully.


Next, click on the start menu > Devices and Printers and right click on hp LaserJet 1000 and click on Printer properties.

Under the Advanced tab, click on the Print Processor... button then select winprint for the print processor and RAW for the default data type. Click OK

Still in Printer properties, go to the Ports tab and click on Add Port...

Select Local Port and click on New Port...

For the port name, type \\your print server's name or ip address\printer's share name.

For example, if the name of the 32-bit computer that is directly hooked up to the printer is WATSON and its ip address is 192.168.0.13, and the printer's share name is Printer5, you type:

\\WATSON\Printer5

or

\\192.168.0.13\Printer5

Click OK and that should be it.



If you don't know the name of the 32-bit computer acting as print server, or the printer's share name, do the following:

For Windows XP 32-bit:

Right click My Computer and click on properties, then under the Computer Name tab it will tell you the computer's name next to 'Full computer name:'. This is not to be confused with 'Computer description:', thought they may be the same. For the IP address, click on run in the start menu, then type cmd in the text box and press enter. In the command prompt, type ipconfig and press enter. The IP address will be displayed.

To find out the printer's share name, in the start menu or control panel click on Printers and Faxes (Devices and Printers in Windows 7). Right-click on hp LaserJet 1000 and click on Printer properties. Under the Sharing tab, it will show you the share name, which may be different from the name that appears in Printers and Faxes. If the name is greyed out, check Share this printer, give it a share name, and press OK.



I haven't tried to get this to work by hooking the printer up to the Windows 7 64-bit computer directly via USB cable, but if I figure it out I will post an update.


I did not go to the extreme of modifying things like Los15 did. You may have to do this if you have a Win 7 machine hosting the printer. I left my print drivers unaltered and started on #11 like erpp. I installed the host based drivers a long time ago. If you do not have the DOS driver installed, then install the host based driver.


I) On the 32 bit system I just left the printer installed as it was - only performed steps 11 and 12 on the LaserJet 1000 DOS, which was already installed. I changed the port to USB1, which is the one on which the printer is installed.


II) On the 64 bit Windows 7 system I followed the whole procedure described: steps 1 to 4. The LaserJet 1000 DOS, showed up as Printer under "Devices and Printers", so that was the printer name I used to create the Local Port. Had to update the HP printer list originally presented by W7 because it did not contain the HP LaserJet 1100 MS, which only showed up after the update. Printer is installed as HP LaserJet 1100 MS. Installation was rather fast. Worked fine. If there are any hitches later on its functioning I will update this post.


I am very glad to be able to continue to use this printer because it has worked great throughout 8 years and, additionally, the HP printers that replace it seem to work with a 1600 page cartridge, vs. 2500 pages for the LaserJet 1000.


After working on this for a while, I've pieced together some solutions offered by other frustrated HP customers. Below is a solution that will work for Windows 7 64-bit clients printing to a Windows 7 32-bit shared LaserJet 1000 printer:


7. After successful install you will notice two printers. One is the LaserJet 1000 and the other is the LaserJet 1000 DOS. They are not read to print. Need to fix driver issue on LaserJet 1000 in the next step.


I have same computer and cannot get the solution for the printer to work, It seems the installation of drivers of the konica printer is my issue, which ones do i use? a more step by step instruction may be what i need. But, can't get it to work now. I have my hp laser 1000 conected to a gateway running xp through usb and it shares fine with all xp computers but now none of the windows 7 will print to gateway computer.


Phil, do not use the konica driver. Use HP's host-based driver (DOS printer) on the WinXP print server and use HP Laserjet 1100MS driver for the Win 7 machines. If you do not have the host based driver, download it from the HP support page. Make sure to update the drivers first on the Win 7 machine in order to see the HP Laserjet 1100MS driver.
