Printer (Canon Pixma iP6600d) setup help iMac, TC, and Windows XP laptop

So here's my issue: I have my Canon printer connected to my time capsule. It shows up in airport utility as being connected. I have it set up on my iMac (ethernet connection to the TC) as the default printer, and there are no issues. I have a windows XP laptop (work computer) connected via wireless to the internet via the TC (Airport). Bonjour, running on the windows laptop does not see/recognize any available printers when I run the wizard. So, even though it appears to be set up as a shared printer, I can't get to it wirelessly from my PC. Please help!

Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall. If you have the firewall enabled, check that the setting "Don't allow exceptions", located under the General tab, is not enabled.
Also, if the firewall is enabled, click the Exceptions tab and ensure you can see Bonjour in the list and it is enabled (tick in the box).
Actually, as a brief test, you could disable the firewall to see if this is the cause of the printer not appearing. A working PC will show the Airport printer immediately after searching.

Where can I find a printer driver for Canon Pixma iP6600D? I have Mac OS 10.9.2

I have a great printer Canon Pixma iP6600D, still works great. I want to either download a printer driver or I want to learn how to transfer the driver from my Mac desk top. If I knew where to find the driver I could just manually transfer it from my desktop to my laptop. Both are running maverick.
Can anyone help me?

The last driver that Canon released for the iP6600D was v10.51 for OS X 10.7. You could try downloading and installing this driver via this link.
Note that the driver may not be digitally signed so Gatekeeper will block its installation. To get past Gatekeeper, you can right-click on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. You will then be given the option to install the driver.

Cannot find the installed driver for Canon Pixma ip6600D

Hello,
I'm pretty new with Mac and OS X and got one problem to use a previous installed driver.
First, please excuse my bad english, I'll do my very best
I've got a Buffalo Linkstation Live 320GB with implemented USB Ports.
You can take the USB Port to use with a printer.
The Linkstation will be a Windows Printserver.
I've connected a Canon Pixma ip6600D at USB Port one and all works fine with Windows XP and Vista via network.
Printing with this Network device uses Windows Network-printing like -> workgroup\buffalo\lp (lan printer)
With Windows this works very well. But now im using OS X Leopard.
So I've downloaded the Canon Mac OS X 10.5 Driver for the ip6600D (can be used for Network printing) and installed it.
OS X wants to reboot, so I think the extension is installed fine.
After this im going to "System adjustments" -> "Printers and Fax" -> "Windows" -> "Workgroup" -> "buffalo" -> "lp"
The Printer is found and here comes my problem: The ip6600D driver does not appear in the drop down list. Only Gutenprint ip6700.
I'm able to print with this driver, but it doesn't work very well and im not able to use CD printing.
So, wehere ist the ip6600D driver? Lost in nowhere?
If I want to search for the driver, nothing could be found.
Searching with Spotlight for ip6600 doesn't find something to use.
Only the installer image of the driver and some web links.
How do I choose the installed ip6600D driver?
Thank you much for any help.

Since there doesn't appear to be an iP6600 driver within the Gutenprint v5.1.3 list, then you could try one of the other iP models, like the iP5200. The key is to find a model that uses the same ink tanks as your iP6600D (and preferably the same engine but that is not as easy to find). If one of the other IP models doesn't help, then you could try the S800. With older versions of Gutenprint I would recommend this model as it would be good enough for text printing, but not that good for images.
If you are unable to find a compatible printer then you may have to look at changing some things. The Canon printer driver has not been designed to be used on the Mac OS X when the printer is being shared by Windows, hence the need to Gutenprint. If this model is not supported in later versions of Gutenprint, then you could look at using PrintFab (which you will have to pay for) or changing the network setup so that the printer is not connected to Windows, such as getting an Airport Express/Extreme. This would allow both OS's to connect to the printer using the Canon driver. Or you could connect the printer to the Mac and get Windows to connect to the Mac share using Bonjour for Windows.

Please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

Problem with my Canon PIXMA iP6600D printer

My Canon PIXMA iP6600D printer suddenly will not print black ink. At the time I thought it was just out of ink (that cartridge was low and I knew I needed a replacement) but I have since replaced it and the printer will not print the black (other colors appear just fine). I have cleaned the nozzle head at least a dozen times and deep-cleaned it at least 4, and it will still not print black (and this is with a new cartridge). I have tried to print the auto head align but I get this message after it tries to do it:
" Auto Head Align has failed. Press OK and repeat operation. (see manual)"
And I have looked in the manual but there's no information on this. The manual's advice (if there are 'white lines' or whatnot in whatever is being printed, which I figure is the closest to my problem) is to wait 24hrs and try cleaning the nozzle again.
I've scanned in the nozzle check print out I get and it looks like this: http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y54/horrormoviebufy/?action=view&current=Messedupheadalign.jpg
Can anyone help or suggest anything I haven't tried yet? Worst comes to worst, is this something I can bring in to Best Buy to have checked out and/or fixed? D: I'm at the end of my tether here frustrated to tears.

made the change, but doesn't fix my issue of not being able to re-add the printer... will play around with the printer to make sure it's on and actively connected, but at this point, that fix does nothing for me... thanks though... I'm sure it fixed the printing problem I was having before I removed the printer...

Have downloaded a driver for my printer ( Canon Pixma ip 4000) from suggestions on this page. It works up to the point of printing but then nothing happens. Can anyone help?

Have downloaded drive from my printer ( Canon Pixma ip4000) to my new macbook air. Used a driver as suggested in previous correspondence in this support group. It downloaded but it does everything up to the point of printing then it stops. Any suggestions?

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

How can i connect my printer canon pixma mg7150

Hello,
I don't find the good driver for my printer CANON PIXMA MG7150, and i use a usb cable.
Is it good ?
Thanks

I have been setting up the same printer this week, with a USB cable to my iMac. I have taken Mac printer drivers from the Canon site. Here is a link that I used.
http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/ InkJet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG7150.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:14-1 091005&os=OS%20X%20v10.9&language=EN
Apple have notified that they have newly updated printer drivers for this printer, which you can download if you have the other drivers in place.
Hope this helps.

Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170' - however, I get Error during installation

Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170' -
I followed the following steps mentioned on some site:
"Follow below steps to setup Canon MG3100 printer to wifi using WPS function (by a button push on the wireless router/access point)
Press and hold maintenance button on printer. (button with screw driver and cutting pair symbol)
Now the LED should flash as '_'
Press and hold 'Fit to Page" button, now LED should flash as single dash moving vertically.
Once the LED flash is confirmed, press and hold WPS button on router/access point for about five seconds.
Printer should stop the flashing and LED should be back to normal displaying '1'.
This completes the setup and you are ready to use your printer wireless ".
However,
1.LED on my printer flashes 1-2-3-E instead of a steady 1.
2. Error message during installation : "An error occurred while communicating with the printer"
3. Im using a netgear router - and I don't know what is an access point and how to configure it for the printer.
4. I think I pressed the right button - (WPS button) - button with symbol having a tower emitting waves.
My installation as a result - failed. Need your help.
Thanks,
Aditya

HT2250 I have an Apple network utility that with the previous printer (Canon PIXMA iP 5000) found the printer on the Network for use on a wi fi system but a newish printer (Canon MG6150) does not show up as Bonjour. Is that correct?

My iMac desktop and McBook Air laptop run on Mavericks, but desktop has VMWare Fusion and runs Windows 7 too. Can I transfer this capability to my McBook Air?

My iMac desktop and McBook Air laptop run on Mavericks. The laptop also runs Windows 7 via VM Ware Fusion. Can I transfer this capability to my McBook Air, so I can run the same plus the Windows programs on my laptop?

Thanks Kappy, but I should add that my desktop runs VMWare Fusion and Windows 7. My laptop and desktop basic operating systems are Mavericks. When I travel, I take my laptop with me. My desktop runs a Windows investment program I like, and I'd like to be able to use this program in my laptop when I'm on the road. VM Ware said I could do this, but would have to make and then transfer a "file" of the programs in question. How would this be done, since it would involve 3 files: Fusion, Windows 7 and the investment program? Maybe Apple should do this at the genius bar? Appreciate any comments...Thanks again, Patrick

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. After a few days or weeks, I have new files on some folders on either of the machines that is not on the other machine. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

How did you transfer the files to the iMac. If you exported the files out of the MB library using Kind = Current you should get the edited version. Any other option may not.
If you want to keep the two libraries "synced" any photos you want to move to the iMac should be added to an album, connect the two Mac with a LAN, Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, with WiFi. and use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album from the MB library to iMac library. It will also copy the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, etc.

I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition. I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself. Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition. I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself. Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

Printer Canon Pixma MP620, Wifi problem

I have a new Canon Pixma printer mp620 (USB / LAN / wifi)
I can not get the printer with the wifi ?
It works well with USB cable directly on the iMac!
This printer is used in a wireless network with a Windows XP computer with a wireless modem router USRobotics
What is wrong with the iMac ?
Tips: the printer works well in wireless with the PC WinXP
Canon doesn't propose new driver on www.canon.com !
Thank you in advance ...

If you want to connect to the MP620 via wireless, then the instructions are stating that you need to have your wireless access point (the wireless router) ready and you need to know some information about the router, such as its SSID (its name) and any password you will need to connect to it.
The setup is pretty easy. It's just the manual tries to cover too many options.
First you must have the printer driver installed and be connected to it via USB. This is so you can communicate with the printer to configure the network (LAN) settings.
With the printer appearing in the Printer list, you can open the printer queue and select Utility. From the new window, select the Printer shown as a USB device and click the Network tab. This will guide you through connecting it to your wireless network. This is where you need to know your access point information. Once the printer is connected to your wireless network, you will be prompted to turn off the machine and then unplug the USB cable. When you turn the printer back on, you can then add the printer queue again, this time for the network connection. As others have said above, select to Add then select More Printers > Canon IJ Network. The MP620 should appear in the list, which you select and then click Add. Now you are ready to print...

Trouble installing canon pixma mp500--please help!

I have OS X 10.4.11 (that's tiger, I think), and I cannot figure out how to connect my Canon Pixma MP500. This printer model is not one the computer automatically knows how to connect to, so I installed the printer driver. I first installed it through the CD ROM that came with the printer, then when I had no luck with that I went to the Canon website and downloaded the most recent driver file for the printer. Both times, it seemed as though it would work, because: the files loaded onto the computer without problem; the printer browser window lists the MP500 as a possible printer to add; in the "print using" box, it lists "Canon IJ Printer" as an option (which it did not give as an option prior to downloading the printer driver). Yet, when I click "Add," it thinks for a few minutes then gives me an error message saying there was a problem trying to add the printer (error code -9672). I have not been able to find anything helpful from the Canon support website.
All I can say is "arg"! I have definitely reached the end of my problem-solving capabilities.

You can delete those three .pkg files from the Receipts folder. The following instructions are for removing an HP driver, but the steps can apply to the Canon driver as well. I've substituted Canon for the older HP references that originally appeared. I did not create these instructions. They were posted some time ago by another user in a different forum. (In a galaxy far, far away.)
These steps will delete the necessary files to be able to install the software package to your operating system.
Resolution:
Deleting the Current driver (drivers) and preferences:
1. Save all work and close all applications.
• Open the Macintosh Hard Drive.
• Open the Library folder on the Macintosh Hard Drive
• Open the Printers folder in the Library folder
• Open the Canon folder in the Library folder.
• In the Canon folder there should be a Pixma or MP500 folder. Drag this folder to the trashcan.
Note: There is no need to empty the trash after this step.
2. Close all windows that are open at this time and reopen the Macintosh Hard Drive.
• Open the Users folder on the Macintosh Hard Drive.
• Open your user file in the Users folder. The one with the little house beside it.
• In the Little House there should be another Library folder. Open this folder.
• Open the Preferences folder that is located in this Library folder.
• In the Preferences folder locate all the files that start with com.apple.print. and drag them into the trash.
WARNING: This will delete all your printing preferences for all printers.
3. Close down all the windows that you have open.
Install the downloaded Driver.
4. Once the driver is completely downloaded to your computer, double click on the file.
• It will mount the disk image and open a window with the installer in it. Double click on the installer in the new window
• Enter an Administrator name and password for the installer and click continue.
• Click continue on the opening page for the HP Inkjet Installer
• Read the license agreement and click Accept to continue.
• Click Continue to the Read Me file.
• Select Easy Install from the drop down menu in the top left corner and click the install button.
• When the installer is finished click Quit.
Adding the Printer to the Printer Setup Utility
5. Open the Printer Setup Utility if it was not automatically opened by the Inkjet installer
• Open the Macintosh Hard Drive. Open the Applications Folder. Open the Utilities folder. Double click on the Printer Setup Utility
• Delete any existing Canon MP500 series printers that may have been added automatically by the Operating System. Click on the name of the printer and click the Delete button in between the Add button and the Utility button at the top of the current window.
• Add the printer to the Printer Setup Utility by clicking the Add button at the top of the current window.
• Select USB from the drop down box at the top of window. NOTE: For the 5850 you will want to select rendezvous or hp IP printing if it is connected through one of it's network connections.
• Wait until the system prompts you to reload the browser, due to knew printer drivers being detected. Click OK to reload the browser.
• Click the Canon MP500 printer from the box below. Then click the Add button at the bottom of the page.
These instructions were written for Panther, so some steps may be different in Tiger, but the general process should be about the same.
