Notepad, LibreOffice, Excel, Word, Print Test Page, etc. crash when printing to Canon MF8350Cdn on Windows 10 Pro (64bit)

Environment Details:
- Windows 10 Pr 64bit
- Wired LAN
- Latest print drivers (as of today)
- Canon MF8350Cdn
ISSUE: When printing from a LibreOffice app, Nodepad, Excel, Word, the Print Test Page button of Printer Properties the application hangs/crashes and never prints. Reloading drivers and rebooting didn’t help. Below are the steps I took to fix it after stumbling across a similar post for another Canon MF model.
SOLUTION:
- Click the Windows button
- Click Settings
- Click Devices
- Select printer (ie Canon MF8300 Series UFRII LT)
- Click the Manage button
- Click Printer Properties
- Device Settings tab
- Change “Spooling at Host:” from “auto” to “Enabled”
- Click Apply, then OK
Should work perfectly now – at least did for me!
