Scanner problems using windows 8 and canon pixma mx432. printer is set up but wont scan

I have my printer installed on my computer already but the scanning function is not even coming up to be able to use it. I recently was given a new computer and it has windows 8 on it. it took a lot to get it to even be installed on the computer but the scanner portion won't work. When I bring it up it has the section where the scanner should be but nothing is there to push. What can I do to get this function working correctly?

All the drivers for 4350D and MF4690 and a few more models I owned in a few more offices have the scanner bug in the drivers for Windows 8. No new drivers been released to fix the problem all those scanners I owned have. Now Canon just put the Windows 8_Notice_ENG inside the driver package and includes the [Limitations During Operation] that says:
When using the scan function while the device is connected to a computer by USB, removing the USB cable and then
plugging it back in or turning the device off and then on will cause the scanning function to be unable to execute. If this
occurs, please restart the computer.
Seriously, Canon? Restart the computer everytime it doesn't work, and I have to go through the hazzle saving all the files I am working on just to restart to get the scanner to work? I have tried to mod the newer drivers for MF4770n and a few new models to make it work with those 4350D 4690 models, it will then detect the scanner without restart, but the scanner won't produce a readale image using my modified drivers. Now stick with VM Player running Windows 7 to scan the files with those old scanners. I won't buy another Canon scanners for my future needs if Canon just can't fix the Windows 8 driver problems all those scanners I owned.

Installed a wireless canon Pixma MX432 printer back in November for use with my Mac Book Air. All was working normally until this past week when I began getting a message, "printer not connected." What is going on? Netgear Wireless N Router seems to be ok

My new canon Pixma MX432 printer is not printing. It was printing fine until about ten days ago. I use a Netgear Wireless N router, which is also new. What do I need to do. I get a message when trying to print that says "printer not connected." In addition, my old Gateway laptop will still print fine apparently because it has a cable connection to the printer. Puzzled!

Have you tried rebooting the router? I would unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. Be sure you know the password etc. if that doesn't work, try unplugging and rebooting the printer. Good luck!

Airport extreme and Canon Pixma IP5000 printing wireless

Has anybody been succesfull in using a Canon Pixma IP5000 to print wirelessly with Aiport extreme (n)? From what I read, my printer is too old? can some one confirm?
Thanks

I have the set up you mention and I can print wirelessly.
Before you try anything else, reset the printer in preferences. (Right click the printer and select reset printing system.)
Make sure you have the latest driver installed from Canon 4.8.3 (comes with Leopard normally) before hand.
Then turn off your airport. Turn on the printer. Then turn on the airport Extreme n.
Once up and running click add printer.
Your printer should appear in the window as a Bonjour type.
It will search for the latest driver (which you'll have downloaded if necessary).
Then it should be installed.

Hi - my problem relates to my Canon Pixma MP560 printer. Other solutions found in the community threads have not helped.

Like other community users that have encountered this in the past, all was well until about 3 months ago when I started to get a communication error message intermittently. I managed to resolve this by following the solutions I managed to find in the community posts however, this problem has now started again but worse in that once I have resolved, I print one document and the very next time I try to print, I get the error message and have to remove and reinstall the printer to get it going again - really frustrating. I know the wi-fi works fine as all other devices linked through it work as required. The printer itself is OK because we can print with no problems from a Windows laptop we have. Haven't been able to find any other posts where the problem is similar so hope someone out there can help and if you can, I would really appreciate instuctions to be in simple terms as I am really not technically astute!
I am using OS X v 10.8.3.
Thanks

Me again - now it doesn't work even when I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything - please help!

Airport Extreme and Canon Pixma MP610

I recently got a MacBook Pro. I wanted to print wirelessly so I also purchased a new Airport Extreme and Canon Pixma MP610 printer all from the Apple Store. I told the salesperson what I wanted to do and he did not indicate there would be a problem, he said make sure I had the most current printer drivers, which I have done. I tried everything but I am unable to print wirelessly using the USB connection between the Airport and the printer. Can anyone help me? Is this printer compatible with the Airport? This is very frustrating and expensive. I could have just kept my old base station and printer.

I am having the same problem with my MP610... I have connected the printer to the usb port on the AirPort Express and have tried installing various drivers to try and fix the issue but have had no success so far.
My Airport Express is setup correctly (green light) and is found in AirPort Utility... additionally, when I go to System Preferences -> Print & Fax, the printer is there and found wirelessly... yet whenever I try to print I receive a "error number : 306..." in my print queue... also, depending on which driver I use, I receive a "Unable to send 1 bytes of print data! (USB write error)" error message on top of the "error number : 306"... sometimes I also manage to avoid any error messages where the status shows it is 'Printing' but there is nothing being printed...
Now, obviously this is a wireless issue, as the printer works when connected via usb directly to my MacBook Pro...
I contacted Canon Support, and was told that I would not be able to print via any AirPort connection as the printer itself is a "Host Based Printer" and was not designed to support networking and that my only other alternative/option to wireless printing would be to purchase a "USB printer server" that supports IP Address forwarding... (on a side note: does the AirPort Express not support this?)
The whole reason why I purchased AirPort Express was so I could print wirelessly from a regular printer by connecting it to its usb port... and looking at the Airport support page on Apple's website, it clearly doesn't mention anywhere that the printer needs to be network capable or that there would be any compatibility issues with regular printers... After-all, it revolves around the idea that all you need to do is connect the printer to the AirPort via USB and that it will take care of the rest when setup correctly...
So ultimately my question is, has anyone had any success in setting up a wireless connection with their 'Host Based Printer'/ordinary usb printer...? if so, how?!! please describe in detail :P lol
Also is that doesn't work, is there any way I can use the AirPort Express to wirelessly print using an IP Address without having to buy a 'USB print server'?
Sorry about the very long description... any help would be really appreciated!

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

I am attempting to connect my Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8. After loading software from Canon and attempting to print, I get the following message: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. What can I do to fix this?

I just purchased and installed a Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my PC desktop with Windows XP. It works fine. It has been successfully installed on my network and I am able to use it with my laptop running VISTA. However, I am trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 and I am not having much luck. I can see it as one of the printer choices when attempting to print; however, I get the following message:
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
I have been searching for answers, but nothing seems to work yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Let me understand:
- you have purchased named canon, which is conencted to your PC running windows xp
- downloaded driver for win xp, and canon works fine
- canon is connected to that PC via USB
- that Canon is also activated as network printer, by allowing print sharing in windows; how did you set that option?
- now, you are in Mac OS x 10.6.8, downloaded Canon driver for Mac OS X, installed it, detected printer on the network, printer was installed; was it detected as attached to that PC running win XP? or not?
or you set canon by being connected to your mac directly via USB?
Now, there are some questions you should answer as some details are missing, and your initial text is not clear. Can you print if Canon is connected directly to your mac? did you try that? if not, do it before answering.

For anyone still searching for an answer to this question (specifically about the MP495 Model), I found the following response from a Canon employee to a similar question posed on the Canon US website:
While Canon would like to extend AirPrint support for other models, unfortunately AirPrint support will be limited to the currently announced models (PIXMA MG5320, PIXMA MG6220 and PIXMA MG8220), and most of the inkjet printers going forward. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and would hope you support our decision.
However, you are able to print with your iPhone to the unit via the free Canon Easy-Photo Print app available through the Apple Store. The app will allow you to print pictures, but not documents.

Hi there, I am new to Apple Iphoto. I am having lots of problems in transferring my edited photos back to my external Hard disc after editing.

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here

I have a Canon Pixma i4700 printer and since buying my iMac I'm finding it difficult to print photographs without a severe warm (red) tone.

I have a Canon Pixma i4700 printer and since buying my iMac I'm finding it difficult to print photographs without a severe warm (red) tone.
What am I doing wrong?

I can't give you detailed instructions, but there should be a way to print a built-in test page. If the color is off on that, the printer has an internal problem such as a clogged head.

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...

I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content.

Fixed! (win7 64 bit)! Just stop your antivirus during the upgrade/installation (I've got Kaspersky).
Good luck!
