I ve already installed the driver but when i try to print a page i dont have any message of error and one line appear in the line of the printer showing that printing is current. Suddenly, the line desappear and nothing is printed.

The Error 311 indicates a communication error between the Mac and the printer. If you upgraded the Mac from Leopard to Snow Leopard, there could be older driver files for the iP4300 that are conflicting with the new driver. Therefore I would start your repair by trashing all of the Canon files.

The first step is to disconnect the USB cable between the printer and the Mac.

The next step is to delete the current printer queue for the iP4300. Open Print & Fax, select the iP4300 in the list and click the minus ( - ) button to remove the queue. You can now exit Print & Fax.

The third step is to remove the Canon files. These are located in HD > Library > Printer > Canon > BJPrinter. Select all the files inside this folder and trash them. Then empty the Trash and restart the Mac.

With the Mac restarted, you can now run the installer for the 10.6 driver you downloaded from the Canon web site. Ensure this driver is version 10.26.0.0.

Once the driver has been installed you can connect the iP4300 USB cable to the Mac again and open Print & Fax. If the install has worked, the printer should automatically appear in the Printers list (note that this can take several seconds). If the printer does not appear, click + to add and select the Default view. The iP4300 should appear in this view. Select it and click Add. You may get a prompt stating the printer is already installed. If so, cancel this install and try printing with the new iP4300 queue.

If the error message still occurs, then I would try another USB cable. They have been known to cause the 311 error.

nstructions

1. Remove the printer from any UPS supplies, additional power supplies, or power strips.
2. Plug the printer into a wall outlet to check whether this resolves the problem.
3. If the printer is already plugged in, try another power source in the building independent of the one being used.
4. The line voltage and current source at the printer location might need to be inspected to make sure that it meets the printer's electrical specifications.
5. Turn the printer off then on.WARNING: Be careful when removing or reseating the fuser. Temperatures can reach 400+ degrees Fahrenheit.
6. If the message persists, turn the printer off for 30 minutes to allow it to cool, then reseat the fuser after checking the internal wiring connections on the right and left side, ensuring that these connections are properly seated.
7. If the 50.1 or 50.2 error recurs after power-cycling the printer or when trying to print, try installing a known good fuser from another HP LaserJet 4100 series printer, if available.
8. If the fuser is near or at the end of its estimated life expectancy (approximately 200,000 pages), then replace the fuser. After replacing the fuser, print a Configuration page, a Menu map (shows fuser settings), an Event log, a Supplies status page, and a Usage page, to reference the status of the new fuser and to ensure that the previous fuser settings are in place with the replacement fuser. To print an Information page on the HP LaserJet 4100, perform the following steps
   1. Press the MENU rocker key until INFORMATION MENU appears on the printer display.
   2. Press the ITEM rocker key until PRINT CONFIGURATION (or until PRINT MENU MAP, etc, appears in the printer display.
   3. Press the SELECT button to print the selected information page.
   To print an information page on the HP LaserJet 4100MFP, perform the following steps
   1. Press the MENU button.
   2. Press the DOWN Navigation button until INFORMATION is highlighted.
   3. Press the RIGHT Navigation button.
   4. Press the DOWN Navigation button to highlight PRINT CONFIGURATION (or PRINT MENU MAP, etc, appears in the printer display.
   5. Press the SELECT button, the button with the checkmark on it to print the selected Information page.
9. If 50.x errors persist after properly installing a known good fuser, or if the errors follow the questionable fuser (provided it is not near the end of its estimated life expectancy), contact HP for further assistance.

49.XXXXX ERROR
A critical firmware error has occurred.
1. Turn the device off and then on.
2. Try to determine whether the error occurs intermittently, while printing, or when turning on the device.
3. If the error appears while printing, determine whether it occurs when printing from a specific computer, a specific application, or a specific file. If all other computers, applications, or files
can print without the error, then the problem may be only within one print job or computer. Make sure the computer has the most current printer drivers, or use a generic printer driver.
4. Go to www.hp.com/support/LJP3005. Click Download Drivers and Software. Check for the latest firmware image version at the bottom of the page. If this firmware image is newer than the
one installed on the device and the device can receive a firmware update, download the newer firmware upgrade.
Try printing a job from a different software program. If the job prints, go back to the first program and try printing a different file. If the message appears only with a certain software program or print job, contact the software vendor for assistance.
6. If the message persists, contact your HP Support.

This error appears after the message Conditioning Drum is displayed and then after one page is printed. Conditioning Drum occurs approx every 100 pages printed. The 59 errors can appear either after the first message was posted to the front panel or after seven messages were displayed. Power cycling the printer can clear this error in the short term.
but at the end the printer will need service, here are the parts needed to fix the issue,Process cartridge drive assembly and the Ribbon cable between DC Controller and Print Driver

You need the correct drivers for the printer. Go to Dell's support page and download and install the Windows 7 driver.

If you have installed something since yesterday you might want to use system restore. the program might be causing the flaw. If not dont worry. You will need to uninstall the printer from your printer page and reinstall it. depending if it is a networked printer or a usb connected. If networked all you have to do is follow the install wizard. but if it is a usb you will have to go to the company's website and download a printer driver. after that it should work. dont forget to restart your computer. sometimes that can help too.
