Bluetooth printing to Canon MP610, Help!!!

I have the Canon MP 610 printer and I have bought the bluetooth adaptor that was recommended from the Canon website. I can get my MacBook to recognize the printer but I cannot get it to connect. I get an error message that says there are no configurable services found on your device. This could be due to services not being enabled on the device, or the device might not have any services that need to be configured with the computer. See the docmentation that came with your device for more information. This helps me none because I have all my Canon instruction booklets and nothing tells me anything about how to get bluetooth printing, eventhough it has the capability. Anyone know how to fix this?

Good morning everyone,
I had experienced the same symptoms with a new MacBook Air and PIXMA iP100 printer via Bluetooth printing, (Air found the printer, created a new printer device, but failed to print, produced Error message 311), and found the following solution to be successful:
Install the Canon non-CUPS driver version 7.3.2 (posted on Canon's support page for iP100 downloads), restart, and configure a new Bluetooth printer device from within the Print & Fax System Preferences selecting the "Canon IJ printer driver" - not the "Canon iP100 series" driver. It was as simple as that.
Installing the non-CUPS 7.3.2 driver does not overwrite the 10.1.0 iP100 series CUPS driver. You will still be able to configure separate USB-wired and Bluetooth-enabled devices, using each of the drivers for the appropriate use.
And, (as Steve Jobs might say), " just one more thing..."
This solution worked with either very reasonably-priced Belkin or D-Link USB bluetooth adapters, so I suspect other generic Bluetooth adapters should suffice as well; there's no need to pay a premium price to obtain great results. Printing is also fast: it took 2 seconds to spool and 5 seconds to print a NeoOffice 1-page document with text and graphics. Not too shabby for the Bluetooth protocol.
Hope this helps soothe some of that frustration out there...
Best of luck& best regards,
Marc

Borderless print with Canon MP610 impossible ?

Hi all,
I've just bought the new Canon MP610, but can't find how to print without borders.
For instance, in Safari or any other application, when I choose print, then the "borderless printing" menu, the cursor is greyed. So impossible to print borderless.
Any idea please ? Thanks !

You need to download the software called "Easy Photo Print" from the Canon web site.
I just bought the Canon MP610 also and I found out about this software while I was doing my research for the printer. At the Canon web site just go to where you would go to download the drivers for the MP610 and thats where you will find the software for download!

Canon MP 600 Bluetooth printing...

Hello,
The Canon MP600 simply will not print via Blueooth for me. I can control the device in Printer Setup Utility via BT. I can print via USB as well. I simply cannot work out how to get the infernal thing to print via BT.
I am certain I am missing something really simple and obvious. Am I ?
Thanks in advance
Ian

Hi Ian,
It was suggested that I respond to you because I can print via my Canon MP600. All I did is plug in the printer. The only thing I can think of that you may not have done is that perhaps your Canon is mislabeled. This is what I would try: Go to Canon's website and under support you can get instructions on how to re-install all the drivers after you delete them. Do that. Then, when you plug in the printer anew, name it with the place you are trying to use it in parenthesis, e.g. Canon MP600 (Airport) or Canon MP600 (USB) or Canon MP600 (Bluetooth). It seems that the printer needs to be added as many times as places you want to use it. I have it listed twice (Airport & Bluetooth). Then I made sure that the bluetooth setup is set to recognize the (Bluetooth) printer. I have no problems printing via airport or via bluetooth.
Lastly, I spoke with Canon, and they agree that this printer is unable to ever do anything other than print via airport & bluetooth. If you want a wireless printer, they suggest the Canon MP800R. I'm going to look into that option.
I hope this was helpful.
Cheers,
Spencer

Can't print with Airport Extreme and Canon MP610

Can anyone suggest a way around this?
I am unable to print using my new Canon MP610 multifunction printer when connected via my Airport Extreme, but I can print when connecting the printer to my computer directly, not using the Airport Extreme. After several hours of frustration, updating drivers and firmware, etc, I contacted Canon and received an email back stating:
"MP610 is not supported by
Canon with a wireless connection through an Apple Airport. This does
not necessarily mean that it will not work, but we are not able to
provide configuration and troubleshooting information."
Last summer, my daughter was able to use the same Extreme to print wirelessly using her Mac Book Pro and her Canon MP600 multifunction printer (note - different printer model).
Sounds like Canon isn't saying it won't work, but they cant' help.
If anyone can offer a suggestion to work around this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Doug

The most comprehensive set of troubleshooting instructions for printing problems involving Airport printers is found at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107418
It is possible your printer simply cannot be made to work in this manner, and is more often than not a problem with multifunction printers.

Canon MP610 printer driver

After updating to OS 10.8.3 on my iMac 27 I can no longer use my Canon MP610. This printer has ALWAYS worked with Lion and Mt. Lion all versions. When I go to print a document there is no printer available. When I try to add my MP610 there is a message that says
"The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer."
Upon clicking add another windown says
"Setting up Canon MP610 series"
then goes into finding software mode and the progress bar gets about half way and this error message appears:
"Can't install the software for the Canon MP610 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
I have downloaded the Mt. Lion driver from Canon, installed the package successfully and it still wants to go looking for the driver on the Software Updarte server; unsuccessfully. After an hour on the phone with both Apple and Canon, no one has a solution.
Why cant the OS recognize the manually downloaded and installed driver that already exists on the hard drive as it has always done? It's as if it is now programmed to only go the the Update server to look for the software and it's not there. Perplexing. USB printers are supposed to be plug and play.
I have noticed that Apple has removed all Canon printers from the Apple Store. What happened? Has Apple abandoned Canon or is it the reverse.
Thanks in advance.

This issue, which can happen to any brand of printer, can often be resolved by resetting the printing system.
As for Canon and Apple, the Australian store is still selling Canon AirPrint printers.

Canon MP610 crashes Freehand MX - PLEASE HELP.

Hey Everyone.
I just bought the Canon MP610 Inkjet printer.
*Day 1, I installed all the supplied Canon Software, drivers etc.*
Tested the printer from Freehand MX, Apple Mail, etc - and it worked brilliantly.
*Day 2, Freehand MX started acting up.*
When I open the print dialog box in Freehand MX and hit the "ADVANCED" button -
I only get the very basic print options. Previously I got all the options where I could select papersize, cutmarks, registration marks, etc.
*Freehand also crashes straight after I hit the print button!*
I have trashed Freehand MX and re-installed it from crash and I still get the same problem.
I'm thinking that it's a PPD issue, but I'm not smart enough to be sure.
Any advice on this problem will be greatly appreciated.
THANKS.

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Canon Pro-100 13x19" Prints - Images suddently printing misaligned/slanted - Please help!

Hi, I purchased a Canon Pro-100 printer about two weeks ago and I have been printing lots of 13x19 prints on Canon brand semi-gloss paper. I have successfully printed about 60 prints, but suddenly I have an issue. The images are printing misaligned/slanted on the paper, so that there is a sliver of blank paper on the bottom right and bottom left. Here is a picture of what is happening to the prints:
http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/ad79/milligangames/101_22941_zpsf995dcd2.jpg
I have tried cleaning the bottom plate, cleaning the roller, aligning the print head both manually and automatically, but nothing is helping. When I print on 8.5x11 or 4x6 paper I do not seem to encounter this issue. Does this mean the paper is feeding unevenly for some reason? Please help!

Can't Install Printer: Canon MP610

I recently got a retina macbook pro (13 inch, 2014 version), and am having trouble connecting to my Canon MP610 printer. I have the printer connected to the laptop through USB. When I go to add a printer, the laptop detects the printer as "Canon MP 610 series." However, when I try to choose a driver there is no built in driver that is for this printer. Additionally, I went to the canon website ( http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp610#DriversAndSoftware) and it states " There is no driver for the OS version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver."
The "Add" button is greyed out until I choose a driver, but there is no correct driver for me to select. Do you have any recommendations on how I could fix this?

Enderx1x,
Follow the advice presented in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWnYeAniGUo ...it worked for me. Although the title suggests a Mavericks fix, I found it to be successful using Yosemite.

Wireless laptop, bluetooth printer Help please?

I was confused about the difference in a wireless laptop and how it would connect to my new bluetooth printer. I thought wireless was the same & now I can't connect unless I have the cable plugged in between the two.
Can I get another bluetooth device to make them "talk" to each other & work without cables?

Bluetooth and the 802.11 wireless on your laptop are 2 different technologies. even though they are wireless, they communicate using different frequencies, so it wont work.
if you want to use the printer via bluetooth, you'll need a bluetooth dongle for your laptop.
btw which printer are you using?

Canon MP610 no longers print black.

I have a Pixma 610MP printer by Canon which has been a fabulous work horse and printed beautiful color photos.
For some reason it has ceased to print black. I have:
1) changed the cartridges
2) performed all the maintenance tests (black shows up on these although weak)
3) re installed the software
4) installed new printer drivers
5) consulted numerous chat groups on this problem, including Canon.
I'm stumped. I don't really want to get a new printer, but I will if I have to.
Suggestions? Recommendations for a new printer if I go that route? I have MacBook Pro with 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.

Canon MP610 - MP Navigator EX will not open - crashes

So I bought my MP610 yesterday, came home, unpacked and set it up, installed software and drivers - all I want to do is scan something important but MP Navigator EX refuses to open. I went to the Canon site, downloaded and installed latest drivers etc. but the result is always the same... whenever i double click the MP Navigator EX application I get a message saying -
The application MP Navigator EX 1.0 quit unexpectedly and when I click on the option to Reopen I get -
The application MP Navigator EX 1.0 quit unexpectedly after it was reopened
- This is the Error Report -
It's 8 pages long so I think it's best not to post it! However, these are the first two lines -
Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x58000000
If anyone can divine error reports I would be happy to post the lot!
Please help - it's so frustrating to buy a product and follow all the instructions to the letter and then not be able to use the machine!
Cheers

Hi PaHu,
I think I'm getting myself into the deep and sticky here. I've not used Image Capture before so I read through the Help files before I started - it seemed quite straightforward and I was able to set Adobe Photoshop 7 as the app. that the print colour icon on the MP610 'links' to (i.e. the button that is either 'colour' or 'Black') I also changed the field next to 'Automatic Task" from Preview.app to Adobe Photoshop 7. However, as soon as I clicked on overview and selected the area I wanted to scan (even though I had two photos on the platen I could only select an area of one of them - is this normal?) and then clicked the Scan button I got the message advising 'The application Image Capture unexpectedly quit. Nothing else is affected blah blah blah.
I went to Finder and double clicked Image Capture, this brought up the Scan dialogue window headed 'Canon MP610 Series' The fields are -
Download to:
Name:
Format:
Automatic Task:
Occurs after scanning
Then there are two buttons at the bottom of the dialogue box - the one on the left says Options...
the one on the right says Scan...
Clicking either of these buttons causes the return of the dreaded message 'The application Image Capture unexpectedly quit etc. etc.
It seems that whether I use MP Navigator EX, Preview or Image Capture as soon as I try to Scan it causes the app. to 'unexpectedly' quit. I've never had something like this happen before so I'm not sure what could possibly be causing it.
Should I uninstall the whole Canon Utilities folder and start from scratch - I just can't work out what's going on at all.
I'll be back on the boards later this morning but that's it for me for tonight!
Cheers

Can't load drivers for Canon MP610 onto new iMac since loading Leopard

Hello, all you amazingly helpful folks.
Bought new iMac + Canon MP610 yesterday. Successfully installed printer on 3 Macs and a PC, and all was well.
Then--discovered that Leopard DVD was hiding in the box. So, installed Leopard uneventfully. Then--found that scanner wouldn't respond to any commands, and subsequently, I could no longer print from the new iMac ONLY (other Macs still printing fine).
So--I deleted all Canon printer-related folders on the new iMac, and tried to re-load the drivers from the Canon CD. MP Drivers won't load. Keep getting FAILURE message. Tried re-booting, unplugging, in all combinations. Printer still works from the other Macs. Maybe loading Leopard after the original MP610 installation confused things??
What to do next?
Also--NO DRIVERS available for MP610 on Canon web page.
Any assistance much appreciated!!!
Thank you.

You may have already done this so forgive me if you have, but I would try deleting the contents of the /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters folder. I would then navigate to the /Library/Receipts and delete the Canon MP610 xxx.pkg file.
Then control-click on the Printers list in Print & fax and click on "Reset printing system..."
Then empty the Trash, unplug the MP610 USB and restart the iMac.
Then I would install the MP610 v6.91 OS X driver. I found it via the Canon Australia web site (http://www.canon.com.au/products/allin_one_printers/all_in_one_printers/mp610support.aspx).
Once the installation is complete, reconnect the MP610 to the iMac and wait. The printer should automatically appear in the Print & Fax application.
Also, in future, you should be posting this on the Leopard printing forum...

Canon MP610 not found

Hello, everyone!
I bought a Canon MP610 a few months ago and only recently tried to install it. I installed the drivers back when I was running 10.5 and couldn't access the printer from my Mac, via USB or otherwise. Whenever I went to 'add new printer' I just couldn't find it anywhere. Having heard something about the improved printer drivers in 10.6, I upgraded and had the same problem. I just couldn't find my printer listed anywhere on my Mac.
Since then, I've scoured many internet discussion boards, including this one, for solutions. I've downloaded just about every MP610 driver I can find from the Canon website and from the Apple website. I've installed them all, rebooted, and still nothing.
I'm fairly Mac literate, but nowhere near an expert, so I'm hoping one of you will come along and say, "Oh, well you just need to do this..." and everything will be fine again. Any help is much appreciated, and feel free to state the obvious, just in case I've missed it.
Many thanks,
Stephen

Hello Stephen,
Given that the printer cannot be seen by the Mac, and the only connection method is via USB, then you may have a faulty USB. That is assuming you are connecting the printer directly to the Mac. Your opening post where you mention 'via USB or otherwise' makes me wonder what you mean by 'otherwise'.
If you are definitely connecting directly to the Mac via USB, then open the System Profiler application and under the Hardware items you will see USB. Select this and see if the MP610 is listed under any of the USB busses. If it is not, then the cable is a likely cause or the printer itself is faulty.
If the printer is displayed, then it should also appear when you select to Add the printer queue and use the Default view. Is this happening?
