Hi I posted a question about this a bit over a week ago, but i think i accidentally marked the thread as closed when i went to reply to one of the emails. So, I'm posting again in the hopes of getting some help.
Here's the situation: My Canon 8350 printer prints just fine with all programs except Office 2013. When I print from excel, word, etc., then the program crashes immediately.
This indicates that I've tried all of the standard things that have been recommended: changing printer driver, uninstalling and installing the driver, printing to a PDF and printing from there, creating a new user account, etc...
I am using Win8 on a Lenovo 220x. System works just fine otherwise... Canon lists this printer as being Win8 compatible.
Jiri Adamek provided the answer in another thread and I thought I'd share it here for others to see! I followed the instructions and it solved the problem. SO, it seems that the driver was at fault, and I apologize to Doug for my intransigence. I'm happy
to have the problem solved!
Try to download drivers for the printer MF9280 which has newer version of build (v20.85). This drivers must be installed manually from the Control Panel. Do not use Canon setup file.
After it's done, go back to printer Properties, Advanced tab and select right drivers for your printer.
With MF9280 drivers the printer will not work, but in my case old drivers for Canon have begun working. It seems that some component of old drivers was replaced with newer version during setup.

If you can print to the Adobe PDF printer or another PDF Printer such as PrimoPDF, then that definitely points to the issue being with the Canon printer driver.
