10.6.7 upgrade messes up my Canon MX700 multi-function print connection

I have a Canon MX700 multi-function printer connected to my Mac Pro. I have printer sharing on and enabled in the firewall and sharing preferences. I have an iMac that connects to this printer through the Mac Pro. It has worked fine for years like this.
I upgraded to the latest 10.6.7 software, and that also came with new Canon printer drivers a few days ago. Now I have printer issues.
Whenever I print from either machine, a warning box appears on the Mac Pro for 5 seconds:
Do you want the application "canonijnetwork.bundle" to accept incoming network connections?
Clicking Deny may limit the application's behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences>
( Deny ) ( Allow )
If I can click on the Allow button in those 5 seconds, then the job prints. Otherwise, the print queue is paused -- some of the time.
If I open the print queue and pause, then resume the printer, I get the warning box again, with another chance to Allow.
This happens every time. I went to the firewall and sharing and printer preferences and made sure that everything was allowed, but to no avail.
I power cycled the machines and printers, but no change.
I am thinking that this is a bug in the new security upgrade, or the new drivers.
Can someone else verify that this is happening to others?
Any suggestions on how to get permissions to stick?

Thanks for the reply. I just tried that, but the problem did not go away. I did notice that in the print queue status window, when I am printing from the same machine, says "A communication error has occurred." if I do not click the Allow button in time.
I just tried turning my firewall off, and everything went back to normal. The canonijnetwork.bundle is listed as accepting connections. Printer sharing is also listed as accepting connections.
So, I turn the firewall back on again, and the problem starts up again -- even though it says that all are still accepting network connections.

Is an OCR app included with the purchase of a Canon MF216n multi-function printer?

Just purchased this multi-function printer and the documentation seems to imply that I need to acquire an external OCR app. Please confirm and / or clarify. Or do I need to download an app from the web like Free OCR to Word?
By the way, so far the MF216n seems like an excellent printer, etc.. It is amazingly fast in printing out the stuff from the web; very little latency between pushing the print button and when the page becoming available.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi HandletheTruth.
I will be able to assist you.
The MF Toolbox 4.9 software supports scanning in the document using OCR processing; however, you will need a separate OCR software that will allow you to edit the software.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Canon MX870 doesn't print text...just images

After upgrading to Snow Leopard (yes I know I'm slow to upgrade) my Canon MX870 isn't printing text. It is printing images but the quality if horrendous because it's not printing the black ink.
Here's what I've done so far
Installed the latest drivers for Snow Leopard from Canon
Cleaned the heads of the printer
Added new ink to all cartridges
Run printing tests (nozzle print patterns)...all good
Reset my printers in the Print Fax Preferences and added in the printer again
Numerous restarts
Now I'm at a loss for what else to do. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
BTW, printer is connected via USB not wireless.

OK well I can see now that all of my files are present on the hard drive (mybook) only they are not showing up in aperture. It seems that there has been some sort of communication breakdown between the two.
As I said several files are missing and or corrupt in my aperture library. I'm wondering if there is a way to rebuild the library without using the vault technique? Does this make sense to anyone?
I was able to go into finder - mybook - aperture library - show contents and see that all my raw files at least are there. Now I just need to get aperture to recognize them.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

HT1338 I have a canon pixma ip4300 ij printer connected to my mac G5 with an intel processor, i cannot print cd labels since i changed from the old mac OSX processor.

I have a canon pixma ip4300 ij printer with software to print cd/dvd labels ,i origonaly had it connected to a mac with the old MAC OSX processor,since i have changed to a mac with MOUNTAIN LION the new intel processor i cannot print the cd labels, i have downloaded software update for the printer but it still reverts back to the old software , can anyone help thank you Allan R

So do you have any problems using the iP4300 to print from other applications on 10.8? Just trying to get an idea of your current setup.
I ask because Easy PhotoPrint (EPP) will use your existing printer - there is no need to create a new printer. So when you open the software and select to make a Disc Label, when you get to Step 4 - Print Settings, the software looks at your existing printer setup to check that you have a printer that will support CD/DVD printing (not all models of Canon inkjet support this).
So with regards to the problem connecting to the iP4300, is the software failing to locate a supporting printer? Can you give me a bit more info as to what is happening when you attempt to print a CD/DVD from EPP?

How do I install Canon MX922 Fax function, printer works but fax not recognized??

I can print wirelessly using my new Canon MX922 Multifunction printer/scanner/fax. My iMac doesn't seem to recognize the fax function. I would like to be able to send documents straight to the fax without printing them first. Can anyone help?

If your printer supports it, you could try to fax using the printer's control screen (it has to be connected to a landline for this to work). I can fax directly from my Epson using the LCD touch screen and inserting the paper into the sheet feeder.

Microsoft Outlook Exchange / Canon Multi function Printer Email Issue

Hi there
A client of ours has been experiencing strange issues with one particular email address on their Microsoft Outlook Exchange Server and a Canon Imagerunner 1133if
The Canon scanning feature has been registered with all the computers and email addresses on their network. Whenever one of the employees scan a page to their email address, the email is sent and received with no problem whatsoever via Outlook 2010 Exchange,
running from the exchange server.
Only one email address on their exchange server doesn't receive any of the scans sent to it, even if it did sent successfully??
1. The email has been set-up correctly on the Canon and Exchange server (The email address syncs new emails and sends them without any hassle, but scanning to the said email, for eg. [email protected], won't show up in their inbox).
Note: We have checked the email on the canon printer and it has been registered correctly.
2. We have whitelisted ([email protected]) the email on the client's computer, made sure it's not a blocked sender in junk email, checked the exchange email tracking logs, and everything checks out, according to the log the email has been sent successfully,
but for some reason, the email doesn't receive on his personal exchange inbox...all other emails sent to this inbox receives perfectly.
Neither the Canon Printer techs, nor we, can find the issue. If anyone has experienced this particular problem, with this particular printer or setup, please respond, it will be MUCH appreciated.
Kind regards

I've heard many cases that user unable to scan to Email from Canon Scanner/Printer via Exchange Server. However, in this case, only one email address doesn't receive the scan items from the device, it seems to be none of business of IP/SMTP Port/DNS
or network else, I mean the server site due to the other user is ok. This following factors might be the root:
1. Email address itself. If necessary, please type the exact address through Canon Imagerunner 1133if and send one thing to the target email address to check the result.
2. Permission. Check and enable the Anonymous Group on Receive Connector somewhere.
3. The user's client. Disable all of security application in that user's computer, or logon this account in another machine to test the behavior.
If none of steps above works, please create a new user in AD and then check everything is fine for a new createing user account. Thanks.

Printer problem Canon MP170 "Failed to print document" error

I have a Canon PIXMA MP 170 printer connected to the airport express via USB.
I get the error failed to print document
I pinged the IP address and it is okay. I used Bonjour and Windows to configure printer and both do not work.
I can connect to my sterio with itunes to listen to music.
I asssume it must be with my printer driver are there any solutions for this problem?
Thank you.

Possibilities:
1. Your Acrobat and OS are not compatible (you did not indicate either). It may be you had an install that was working marginally and the update from MS did it in.
2. AcroTray is not running. Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer with the print-to-file selected. Then open the file in Distiller to create the PDF. If that works, check for AcroTray in the tasks list.
3. Do a Repair of Acrobat. Sometimes the windows updates seems to cause problems and a repair is needed.

After upgrading to Lion, my Canon 7d can not be found.

After upgrading to Lion, my Canon 7d can not be found. I have used the USB connection to connect to my camera for several years with no problems, until now. I have reset the SMC, by powering off the computer and unplugging everything for approx 30 minutes. There are no new drivers available and any assistance will be appreciated.

I was having the same issue after upgrading to Lion OSX. I searched the web and found many people had the same problem but no solution so...
I called Canon and they told me to run 'Image Capture' its part of the Canon Software Suite so you should have it and then try downloading the pictures like you usually do. I use 'Image Browser' and with 'Image Capture' running in the background it works perfectly now.
Hope this helps!!

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

Printer connected to Airport Express USB port won't come online after firmware 7.6 upgrade. I've tried backing up to 7.5.2, but it still shows offline. It is a Canon iP4600 printer and I'm running OS 10.6.8. I've powered everything down and still no go. I've connected the printer directly to my MacBook's USB port and it works fine. Any suggestions?

I have an iP4500, which I assume is quite similar to your model.
I had to reset the printing system to get things printing again. Only takes a few minutes and no problems at all since I did it a week ago or so.
Plug the printer into the USB port on the Express and restart the printer.
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and then open Print and Fax
Right-Click in the printer area on the left and select Reset Printing System
Then click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list to install the printer again.

After upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print

after upgrade to latest firmware canon network printer won't print. It's a canon MP540 on a wireless network. It will print a test page but won't print from any application, just sits there with the message 'copying print data'!
Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74), with firmware SMC Version (system): 1.73f63.
Any help gratefully received.

First off if you can print a test page there is absolutely no reason you wouldn't be able to print from a application...none. But stranger things have happened now that we have Lion. Within the application are you selecting the wireless printer........just had to check.
I have the MP620 which is simlar to your MP540 and have no problems printing from my MBA (June 2011). I too have the latest firmware and software......without problems printing.
A few things I'd try would be to remove the wireless printer from your computer (in Preferences, printers), restart, and repair permissions. Then add the wireless printer back, and see if it works. If not.....power OFF the printer and turn back on.
If the above fails reinstall the printer driver (yours) I think you will have to plug in the USB cable.
Keep me updated and I'll tyr and help!

Canon MX700 Printer problem since upgrade to Lion.

Hi
Since upgrading to Lion every time I try to print something on my Canon MX700 networked printer I get a communication error. I found that what I have to do to get it to work is to print the document a second time and then delete the first document in the printer queue. This pauses the printer and when it is resumed the second document prints successfully.
Anyone else have this problem or can anyone shed any light on what might be wrong?
Scanning seems to work OK.
Many Thanks

you need to upgraded canon MX700 that's support Lion.
you can download updated driver from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_s eries/pixma_mx700#DriversAndSoftware
But remember, you should trash the BJPrinters folder, located in HD > Library > Printers > Canon. This action to uninstall driver canon MX700 that's installed on your mac

Hey WKWF,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides relevant troubleshooting information for your issue:

USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks,
