Konica Fiery Drivers For Mac

Apple announced the same day availability of Mac OS 10.10 on October 16. EFI is in the process of releasing the following updated software to support Mac OS 10.10:

  1. Konica Fiery Drivers
  2. Canon Fiery Drivers

Konica Fiery Drivers

  • Fiery Printer Drivers - EFI will begin posting updated drivers versions on October 17 in the Download Center. Please use these updated printer drivers with Mac OS 10.10; existing Fiery printer drivers are not supported with Mac OS 10.10.
  • Fiery Command WorkStation and the Fiery Extended Applications Package - The current Fiery Extended Applications Package v4.2 has known problems with Fiery Remote Scan folder mapping and support for the Fiery SeeQuence Impose and Compose dongles. EFI plans to post an updated version of the Fiery Extended Applications Package v4.2 the week of October 20 that addresses these issues and fully supports Mac OS 10.10. This update will be available in the Download Center, from efi.com/cws5, and as an automatic update via the Fiery Software Manager.

Canon Fiery Drivers

I'm reaching out to the community here because EFI has been completely unhelpful here. Although we are dealing with Canon printers, the issue isn't Canon in this case. Our Canon rep has been more than helpful in trying to get answers from EFI, but ultimately EFI isn't offering much up in terms of a solution which to me is absolutely insane considering their customers are in the enterprise.

Mac lion deleting print driver file for a clean install. In addition, provision and support of download ended on September 30, 2018. As a substitute for Copy Protection Utility, on PageScope Web Connection which is installed standardly in multi-function printers, you can use the same function (copy protection and registration of stamp information).

The new Fiery drivers for OS X 10.11 El Capitan state that older Fiery drivers need to be uninstalled before installing the new drivers otherwise there will be some problems which are documented in their release notes. The uninstaller is of course a part of the driver download, but it's all GUI. Release notes: http://help.efi.com/fierydrivermac/Mac_OSX_10-11_Printer_Driver_Release_Notes.pdf

Has anyone figured out a way to use their uninstaller to uninstall Fiery drivers through the command line silently? Obviously manually uninstalling software does not scale. I've thought of doing a before and after snapshot to see what is installed by drivers, but that certainly won't include any logic built into their uninstaller.

I've also made a thread about it here: http://fieryforums.efi.com/showthread.php/5583-Is-there-a-command-line-option-to-uninstall-Fiery-drivers-for-OS-X

P.S. I just need to add that I really really hate EFI. What a horrible company to deal with. Absolutely atrocious support.
