10.5.8 to 10.4.11 with Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II
I want to print from my 10.5.8 Digital Audio to a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II that I have attached via its USB2 card to my Yikes! G4 under 10.4.11. I am communicating with the Yikes! via a USB2 WAN wireless device, also plugged into the USB2 card.
I have the printer setup with drivers on both machines, and have the Yikes! 10.4.11 Printer Sharing turned on for the Canon. Also turned on Printer Sharing under my 10.5.8 Digital Audio.
On my DIgital Audio I have tried IP Printer setup, using the URL for the Yikes! and the computer's local host name. Everything seems to flow, except the job never starts on the printer. Just sits in the Canon's cue. I see the printer in the Printer lists.
Any hints? Need more info?
Its a Westell versalink DSL modem and ethernet router. Has wireless capability, which I was using on the Yikes!, until it looked like I could not use my new Canon printer off the Yikes!, unless I used the hardwired ethernet.
Not sure why I cannot see the printer from the Digital Audio under 10.5.8 on the Yikes! under 10.4.11 when my connection is via my wireless Airlink USB2 adapter. Maybe Printer Sharing is turned off for the wireless because it hasn't been turned on for it also ... was for the hard wired setup ... thought it carried over for the other ... checking ...

Being new to working with a Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me step, by step on how to set up my Mac Book Pro(Mid 2012) wirelessly to a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll that my husband had gotten me? Sales person told him that it's compatiable to my Mac Book Pro, Mtn Lion, but I do not see it and I don't see how to do it wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;o)
Hello:
There is nothing wrong with asking questions. There are no dumb questions....answers, yes, but not questions.
If you set up your wi-fi router to establish a network, then both your printer and MacBook Pro will connect wirelessly. *** I do not know what kind of router you possess, I don't want to suggest things that might not be relevant.

Problems with Canon Pixma 9000 Mark ii and Aperture
When I try to print the colors are not quite right. I noticed that when I print Aperture tells me to turn off the color management in the printer. When I try to do this it is greyed out and will not allow me to change it. When I originally installed the printer I downloaded the driver for Mac OS X v10.7. I have read about other people having this problem but I have not seen a solution. I know that the problem is that Aperture and the printer are both color managing but I can not fix it. I tried to print out of the Adobe Elements software that came with the printer because this will allow me to turn the color management off, but it will not allow me to open pictures from my Aperture library, only from photo booth. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I really like using Aperture 3 and do not want to have to change to a different program to make this work.
Hi Richard !
Maybe the color problem comes from the color profile choosen in the dialog print box. (By the way, I print with a Canon IP4200 — under OS 10.7.2 — and it works without a stitch).
1. In Aperture (File > Print), choose the color profile that matches the paper you're using. (I never had a good result with the Canon one — but it's not significant)
2. Inside the printer dialog box, color options are greyed out and it's quite normal (see the capture below)
3. Then choose the paper quality (from the pop-up menu) and it's done... I hope...
The B-plan aka Photoshop Elements
1st method : choose your image and go to the File menu > Export > Version. (Ok... duplicate files... Maybe it's not the best choice, so...)
2nd method : go to Aperture > Preferences > Export. In front of External Photo Editor, click on Choose button (and select Photoshop Elements in the request box). When done, choose the file format (TIFF, PSD...) and the color space (typically the one used when you shot). Close the window. Right clic on the picture and select Edit with Photoshop Elements. -

PG-810 isn't compatible with canon Pixma mp280
My mp280 came with a ink PG-810 but the canon site say that PG-810 isn't compatible with canon Pixma mp280
it all I just want to know that can we replace the ink with a pg 810
the canon site says it is compatible with pg210 but that isn't available in my area so can I buy and use pg 810 in my printer ?
ps the printer came with pg 810 cartridges
THANKSHi prabhy!
If your PIXMA MP280 was purchased or manufactured for use outside of the US, then you will need to contact support for the country where it was purchased or manufactured to be used to determine what ink tanks will work in your model. We know that printers purchased in the US may not work with inks purchased from other countries.
To contact support for another country, go to www.canon.com and select the region or country you need.
We hope this helps! -
Printing problems with Canon Pixma IP4700
I used to use a PC, photoshop and my Canon pixma IP4700. With this i could achieve perfect results on an A4 image. I have embedded the correct paper profile and my colour management system was set up just right. I have now upgraded to a mac(running Snow Leopard OS) , but i am now getting problems with my prints. I opened up the exact same .psd file without changing anything and sent it off to print on my canon. The result has came out far too bright?. When i used my PC I would have a lot more controls within my printer driver screen, but now with the mac the printer driver screen dosnt have very many controls at all. Even when i soft proof the print on the print screen it dose not show it any ware near as bright as the end result print.
I am a student of photography and i have asked a few of my class mates and they say that they have had the same problem. They tend to use a professional printers, but as i had received such perfect prints before I know this result is obtainable.
Is there anything anyone can suggest to help??
If there is any more information i can provide to help just let me know.
Thanks a lot in advanceHi there,
In reading your post I'd be curious to see the cups error log. Given that the Gutenprint drivers would not print also, I would say that something is wrong with the core printing system. The log would show which filter is causing the spooler to stop.
Thinking that it is CUPS related, I would try resetting printing system (if you haven't done so already). Then I would add the queue again using the Gutenprint driver for starters. If this doesn't work then no need to try the Canon driver.
Note that the Canon test print is not an actual print but an instruction to output the inbuilt data. But the test print via the Gutenprint printer queue is a page generated by CUPS. So this would suggest that the CUPS usb backend is okay and something further up the spool creation process is failing. Again, the cups error log would give some clues as to what is going wrong. As to why both driver sets are failing is interesting...

Problems with Canon Pixma iP4300
I just purchased a new Canon Pixma iP4300 printer and can't find it in Printer Setup Utility to add as a new printer.
When I connect it directly to my MacBook Pro (Core Duo) it is invisible. I have downloaded the latest drivers available from Canon. Given the point below I am fairly certain it is not a problem with my USB cable either because the printer is recognised when I plug my USB printer cable into the Airport Express.
Confusingly, I can connect to it through my Airport Express base-station using Bonjour. A problem with this connection is that it does not allow me to use the utilities - so, for example, I can't align the print heads - or use any of the other software that came with the printer because it doesn't recognise the printer over the wireless network.
Does anyone have any suggestions?And as soon as I posted this I found a spare USB cable and tried that... and it worked.
I guess the USB cable connects properly with the Airport Express and not with my MacBook Pro. Curious. Very curious. -
Printing Problems with Canon Pixma MP830 under 10.5.5.
Hi All.
Strange one here. I'll try to keep it short.
A client just bought a 24" iMac (running Leopard 10.5.5) and all was great until they tried to connect their Canon Pixma MP830 to it. The client installed connected the printer to the USB port in back, installed the software from the Canon CD, and soon discovered they could not print from any application -- however, they could do a test print (cleanings, alignments, test, etc.) without issue.
They ended up calling both Apple and Canon for several sessions and no one could figure it out.
So I get the call. I remove the printer completely from the system, emtpied the trash, repair permissions, blew out the user and system cache, restart and installed the fresh Leopard-friendly drivers from Canon. I also ran the firmware upgrade for the printer, which took just fine. When I did a test print -- no problem. When I tried to print from Safari -- nothing.
So I then I thought I would try the Gutenprint v5.1.3 drivers for that printer. Nada.
I downloaded the GutenPrint 5.2.0-beta4 drivers, still nada.
At a last ditch effort I tried a new USB cable, still nada.
Curious if anyone has seen this problem and perhaps as a solution? Aside from buying a new printer that is (they are already shopping, but not happy about it).
Thanks!Hi there,

Using Image Capture to scan with Canon Pixma MX700
I previously had trouble connecting my Canon Pixma MX700 to my MBP, but soon figured out that I needed a new high speed USB 2.0 cable, versus the old one I was trying to use it with. Doh!
So now it prints without any trouble at all, and I know that all its features - printing, scanning, fax, copier, are supposed to be compatible with Leopard.
However, I'm still having issues scanning. I Googled and found a comment somewhere that with this specific model, one has to use Image Capture for the scanning portion, instead of the Canon software.
Great, so that explained the problem I was having trying to figure out how to GET it to communicate at all with the MBP (downloaded the latest scanner driver from Canon with no result).
But it still will not scan with Image Capture. Communication is fine- the image is detected and I can see it perfectly in the Image Capture window, am able to change options, etc. Once I drag and select the image I want to scan and click the scan button, nothing happens. Or more specifically, the button will be click-able and for about two seconds it appears to be working (with the scan button substituted by a cancel button), but then the scan button will pop back up and nothing appears in the folder I specified the image to be saved to.
Now I'm completely stumped. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!!!With my MacBook running Leopard, I had been able to successfully scan multiple images by pressing the MX7000 scan button and capturing the images with MP Navigator. The MX700 is networked over WiFi. Early on, I learned that it seemed to be more reliable to drive this process using the scan button, rather than trying to initiate the scan from the MP Navigator UI.
However, recently things stopped working, and after the first image was scanned, subsequent scans would fail, with MP Navigator complaining about not being able to connect to the scanner. This sounds similar to the problem described in the original posting.
I went to the Canon USA support site and downloaded /installed the latest versions of the MX700 scan driver (13.9.0) and MP Navigator (1.0.4), both available under the "Drivers and Downloads" section for the MX700 support page (be sure to select "Mac OS X" from the pull-down menu).
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDeta ilTabAct&fcategoryid=238&modelid=15651#DownloadDetailAct
The new updates seem to have solved the problem, and I can now scan multiple images one after the other. Again, I always initiate the scan from the button on the MX700, and always capture using MP Navigator, which has the really nice feature for creating and editing multi-page PDFs.

PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II print issue with Mac
I am having issues printing photos. The picture comes out really dark, and the color is not right. I am using the latest version of Mac. How can I fix this issue?
Hi droidus,
iPhoto is good for basic printing, but it offers very little in the way of color correction beyond the basic print quality settings. If you are printing professionally with the Pro9000 Mark II I would recommend using a program that givse you more control over how the picture comes out such as Photoshop.

Problems printing wirelessly with Canon PIXMA iP4500
I have a MacBook Pro 15 in 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb RAM and I’m running Mac OSX 10.5.7.
1. My Canon PIXMA iP4500 inkjet printer used to work perfectly as a printer attached to the USB port of my Airport Extreme Model A1034 modem, when my computer communicates with the modem either wirelessly or via an ethernet connection between the computer and Airport, but lately it isn’t working.
2. When I try to print the printer icon shows up in the dock and when I click on it a Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box pops up and says the Printer is Ready but the status of the document is “Stopped”.
3. If I click on “Resume” and error message appears: “Operation could not be completed. client-error-not-possible”. This happen repeatedly.
4. I recycled the modem, turned the printer off and on (and did those things in reverse) and ran Airport Utility, all to no avail. I also deleted the printers in my Print & Fax System Preferences dialog box, downloaded the latest CUPS driver from Canon (ver 10.1.0.0), and recreated the printer (called Canon iP4500 Series).
5. Network diagnostics says it can connect to the internet over either my airport or Ethernet connection but it cannot connect to the Canon iP4500 series.riousbprint.tcp.local.
6. Also when I run the Canon IJ Printer Utility from the Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box a Printer List dialog box shows up with no USB-attached printers listed
7. I can print if I connect the printer directly to my MacBook Pro, so I don’t think it’s a driver or USB cable problem. Curiously, when I connect the printer directly to the computer the Print & Fax dialog box automatically creates a second printer called Canon iP4500 series-1. If I use the original Canon iP4500 Series printer in this setup it says “No pages found”.
Basically I’m stumped at this point and would appreciate some help. Unfortunately, I’m on a 3-mo sabbatical and do not have my original Canon printer software with me so I cannot reinstall the printer app unless someone knows how I can obtain it. Similarly I cannot reinstall Leopard either, though it doesn’t seem likely I should need to. Happy to try anything else though.Hello Basil and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Reading your post, it would suggest there is a problem with the USB of the Airport Extreme, but I don't believe this to be case as there is not much that could go wrong with them. Instead I think there is something not right with the transport (TCP) protocols that get the data from your Mac to the Airport USB.
At this stage, I suggest you look at installing version 5.23 of the Gutenprint driver. This version supports your iP4500 and will help to narrow the cause of the current symptom.
Before installing the Gutenprint driver, I suggest we trash all the current Canon drivers you have installed - we can add them again later if need be.
Open Finder and navigate to Mac HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter. Trash all the contents of this folder and empty the trash.
Next, navigate to the Mac HD/Library/Receipts folder. You will see the Canon iP4500 xxx.pkg and another one for the CUPS driver you installed. Trash both of these and empty also.
Now open System Preferences > Print & Fax and delete all the Canon printers in the list (highlight and hit ' - '). It would also be handy to reset the printing system, so while in Print & Fax, move your mouse over the now empty printers list, hold down your Control key and click (or right-click if you can). Click on Reset printing system when it appears.
Now install the Gutenprint drivers. When this is done, restart your Mac and try adding the iP4500 again. This time, after you select the Airport shared printer, you will have to open Print Using and search for the 'Canon iP4500 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'. Select this and now try printing. Let me now the result.

Scanning problems with Canon Pixma 5300 series after upgrading to newest Macbook Pro
Are there drivers available for Canon pixma 5300 series for OS X Mavericks 10.9?
Scanning with my brand new Macbook pro using OS X 10.9 just isn't working like it used to with my old white Macbook.
Does anyone have any suggestions?Do you have an MG53xx? If so, then a scanner driver for this model is available from Apple so that you can scan with Image Capture / Preview. So if you open Printers and Scanners and select the MG53xx, you should have two tabs - Print and Scan.
Canon also has a scanning application called MP Navigator available from their web site. To use this application you will also need to download and install the scanner driver for the MG53xx, which should also be available from the same Canon web site. -
Macbook Pro 2011 not printing on network with canon pixma iP4500
Hi
I am not able to print satisfactorily from my 15" MacBook Pro 2011 to my QNAP TS439 server that has my Pixma iP4500 installed. I contacted apple support and after 45 minutes the operative gave up and said it was a QNAP problem. I am fairly sure it is not, so please read on...
Here is what happens. I ( myself and Apple) select the correct printer from the menu on my MacBook Pro with the correct path and printer on the server using Snow Leopard 10.6.8. As soon as I go to print something it says it is waiting for 10 seconds, very quickly it gets extended out past 30 seconds, but never prints.
I have tried another driver called the Canon Pixma iP4500 Gutenprint v 5.2.3. This will only print in black text. If I try to print colours, I get a very wishy washy pastel effect that just about shows that there might be some colours there. This is hopeless and most unsatisfactory.
In my opinion, this points the finger at Canon's printer driver that has been supplied to Apple, because the printer driver for Windows 7 works perfectly from the Windows 7 x64 PC.
Does anyone have a solution to this?Just a quick reply for others in case it helps....
First you have to install the Canon drivers for Yosemite from Canon Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X.
Then since I had reset my Canon MP620 network settings, I had to start from scratch. I connected the printer to my new computer (with Yosemite) via USB and then launched the Canon IJ Network Tool.app (downloaded from the Canon web site) and it found the printer. However it hung on the last step "Searching for printers via access point...". At that point (after waiting a minute for it to give up), I had to read the IP from the Canon printer and enter it by hand in the Network Tool dialog.
I then unplugged the USB cable, and went to the Printers and Scanners system preference panel. After a few minutes, the printer showed up and I was able to set it up.
I then tried to set up the printer on a 2nd computer, running Mavericks. The Canon printer would not show up in the Printers and Scanners system preference panel, but after I launched Canon IJ Network Tool.app on that computer, the printer did show up and I could set it up there as well. This is all much more convenient than using a USB cable and sharing the printer, but, dang, is it complicated! -
Hi all,
Okay let me run down the steps I've done so far and what I've learned. Apparently the newest version of cups does not work with Canon printers it seems, because of an issue with usblp.
First I got a version of Cups from the AUR with usblp enabled. The package is cups-usblp 1.4.3-2.
Next I followed a guide about Arch and the MP640 here.
The good news is that now my printer is recognized and it appears that all is well. However, when I try to print a test page (as Root) or try to print something from Kword I get the error:
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij failed"
The pstocannonij file exists and I have the correct ppd installed. I'm running Arch64 and I have all of the 32bit libraries installed. I have the cups and usblp daemons active in my rc.conf.
Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!I've recently bought a Canon PIXMA MP640 multifunction device and it's working perfectly on my Vista 32-bit system. Now it's time to make it work on Arch 64-bit. Is it possible to make this device work without using any 32-bit libraries? I would like my system stay clean off any 32-bit software. Unfortunately on Canon website drivers for this model are still signed as TBD, although I've found this and this.

Colors coming out different from different programs with Canon Pixma IP8500
I have a problem with a Pixma IP8500. The colors come out much darker from iPhoto than they do from Canon's ImageBrowser and Photoshop.
Is this normal? How can I fix this?Sounds like a colour management issue. Photoshop will use a different colour profile to iPhoto (I don't know what imageBrowser does?).
Try this. Open iPhoto Preferences > Advanced and disable "Add ColorSync profile". Now print your photo.
