Bonjour can't find Canon IJ driver but USB does

I've searched extensively and seen a lot of different versions of this problem, but no thread that answered my quesion.
I just upgraded my iBook 1.33 Ghz from 10.3.9 to 10.4.7. I'd been using my Canon iP5000 through my Airport Express for a year and a half, but now it won't work. I remember that when I first set it up, I had to make sure to connect it to USB first before using it with Airport, and it worked fine thereafter.
Now it refuses to find the driver. When I try to add a printer, it finds the iP5000 conntected to "Bonjour" immediately but can't find a driver. If I look in the folder of Canon options, there are many GiMP drivers listed, but none that work for my machine (any that I use cause the print to be far too light and/or don't see the sheet feeder tray).
I downloaded the most current driver from Canon, but they won't offer support beyond that because the iP5000 "isn't supported with Airport."
When I connect through USB, it finds the "Canon IJ Printer" driver immediately, but when I try to search for any such file manually, I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where the heck that driver gets put when the installer installs it?

Thanks for the reply Greg. I'm confused then, because it leads you to believe that you can select a driver by choosing "other" in the add printer dialog.
Again, I already did used the combined updated to get to 10.4.7--that's what gave me the problem in the first place.
I checked the PPDs in the folder you mention and there isn't a single Canon mentioned.
I'm just not understanding why it knows exactly where to look to find "Canon IJ Printer Driver" when I'm hooked up through USB, but has no clue when it's through Bonjour.

  • I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

    You don't want to do that by copying.
    Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant.  If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

  • Windows 7 Install - Can't find my hard-drive!

    Hi guys, i'm hoping someone can help. I've recently bought a brand new Toshiba Satellite pro L650 (PSK1KA-02D01E) running Windows 7 After a few weeks, things started to get really slow. Then I woke up one morning to discover it stuck on the first screen when I turn it on.
    I thought I had a virus, so then decided to do a full re-format and re-install windows. After I formatted the correct partition, I went to install Windows 7 again Only for it to say "windows could not detect a disc drive" it asks me to install drivers for the hard-drive, which I can't seem to find.
    it's a sata hard-drive (TOSHIBA MK6465GSX) I think is the model number. I can not find the hard-drive drivers anywhere. The other strange thing, is every now and then, it finds the hard-drive, but states that windows can not install onto that drive (even when I format it, try to add a partition and so forth) I have been into bios, I don't really know a great deal of what I am looking at, but it sometimes states my hard-drive is there, and other times it does not.
    I am so desperate to get this fixed. Does anyone have any ideas? I live pretty remotely so taking it back and getting it fixed is not ideal.. but maybe necessary.
    Thanks in anticipation..
    - Gavin.

    It sounds like the hard drive is dying.  The Win7 install shouldn't need a driver for the drive.

  • Where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.

    where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.
    if there is no driver maybe you can tell me the closest instrument that comes to this one from the list at,

    so i could modify and use the driver

    Hello,
    It looks like Agilent/HP makes the 8990A, but I was not able to find a driver for it that we or Agilent has written for this device.
    Since I am not familiar with the 8990A, I cannot recommend which drivers might be similar, but you are pointed in the right direction. Agilent themselves might know more about which models use similar command sets so that you can modify a driver easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where can I find a print driver for my e-mac running os9.2

    Where can I find a print driver for my e-mac running os9.2

    Actually the best place is the web site for the printer. You'll also need the model, but there are still some OS9 drivers out there.
    You must supply the printer make and model for people here to help further.

  • I can't find the yosemite driver for my epson r3000 printer.

    I can't find the yosemite driver for my new epson r3000 printer. I am using 10.10.1. The Epson website says to find the driver by going to the App store and looking for updates. I did that and didn't find any.  In "Printers and Scanners" in System Preferences I notice that the computer is aware that I am connected to the printer (via USB) but a message  at the bottom of the window says that "Software for this printer isn't available from Apple. Contact the printer's manufacturer...".  What to do?

    It looks as though Epson has a driver compatible with Yosemite.

  • How can I find the JDBC Driver version

    Hi,
    How can I find the JDBC Driver version installed on my Sun Solaris machine which
    has Weblogic Server 7.0 installed on it. Is there some kind of tool/command to
    do so or does Weblogic console say something about it
    Thanks

    Parikshit KhannaThere is a jdbc DatabaseMetaData call getDriverVersion().
    The best thing to do is to download Oracle's latest appropriate
    driver from their site, and edit the start-weblogic script to
    make sure the downloaded driver is ahead of any weblogic stuff in
    the server's classpath. We do ship a driver, but Oracle usually
    has a newer better one very soon after that...

  • Migration assistant can't find 2nd hard drive.

    Hello. I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to transfer data (music) from a 2nd hard drive
    I have installed in my older tower. MA has no problem finding my first drive but no detection of my second. Is there simply a preference I'm overlooking? Any help would be great!

    That sounds like the Today (Now) display, the one that's show in full when you first Enter Time Machine.  It's not a backup; it's the current contents of your Mac.
    When I clicked on the 2nd window, it seems to be a back up from July 20, which I remember making on the old MacBook. It has one folder on it with my username.
    Yes, that's a backup. 
    When I click on this folder, I find 4 folders inside it titled: Applications, Users, Library and System. I clicked on Applications and it was empty
    That sounds like you'd excluded Applications from backups.   Or else you didn't wait long enough for all the apps to be displayed.
    sometimes the names of programs covered with a see-through "no parking" sign  - a circle with a slash through it
    That's an incompatible app. 
    Is this the Time Machine's records?
    Yup.
    Can I click on the July 20 date and click on restore? Will everything just come back on it's own?
    No.  You can restore individual items that way (if you have permission to them), but not a whole system.  You can restore "simple" apps that way, too, but not "complex" ones -- ones that came with their own installers, because they install other files in other places.  If you don't restore those other things too, the app won't work well, if at all.
    Can you post a screenshot of the Migration Assistant window that should show your backups (something like this):

  • LabVIEW can't find NI-DAQ driver (error 10240).

    NI-DAQ is installed, and all the tests in the configuration utility work
    fine with the PCI 1200 card. I can see a sine wave from a function
    generator, so NI-DAQ works. But no DAQ VIs run, neither the examples
    included with LabVIEW nor test programs I've written myself. Error message
    10240 is always displayed: "NI-DAQ: LV can't find NI-DAQ driver."
    I am working with an older setup, trying to recover an experiment from years
    ago. It's a Power Macintosh 7500 with a 100MHz 601 processor and a PCI 1200
    DAQ card. LabVIEW 4.0 installed. I've tried downloading several versions
    of NI-DAQ from the NI site, but I can't find any support for LabVIEW 4.0.
    Currently NI-DAQ 6.6.1 is installed, the version recommen
    ded on the site for
    Power Macs.
    Does this version of NI-DAQ not work with LabVIEW 4.0? If not, what version
    of NI-DAQ will work? Is there some way to tell LabVIEW where the NI-DAQ
    driver is?
    Upgrading LabVIEW or the hardware is a last resort. I just want to get this
    experiment running as soon as possible.
    My email address is [email protected]

    Thanks. But the version of NI-DAQ that was installed when I wrote the email
    was NI-DAQ 6.6, and still the error message appeared. I've since pulled the
    card and put it into a PC with a more recent version of Lab VIEW and it
    works.

  • MacBook Air can not find canon f8500 series printer on network.

    MacBook Air running OS X Yosemite can not find Canon MF8500 series printer on wireless network. AirPrint is turned on at printer. iPhone iOS 8.2 can not AirPrint to printer as well. Recently switched from Verizon to Comcast for internet service, no issues before switch. Tried to add printer via IP address, it was located but could not print to printer.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system  also Yosemite
    Try setting it up as something other than AirPrint. I have seen several posts where that was the problem.

  • Flashing file folder - can't find the hard drive-imacG3 - 9.1

    When I attempted to start up I got a flashing "?" in a folder. I loaded the hardware test CD and everthing tested fine but no hard drive was listed. I loaded the software install CD and got the message"disk is unreadable. Do you want to inintialize". Options were Standard 9.5 GB or extended. Is there anything I can do other than initialize and lose everything? If I do initialize should it be standard or extended? If the hardware test can't find the hard drive how did the software install disk recognize it. Any ideas? Thanks

    Unfortunately both of those must run from a bootable CD or bootable device that isn't the startup volume. And, by the way, both of those applications do cost money.
    TechTool Pro comes from Micromat and you would need version 3.0.9 (final for Mac OS9) from them.
    DiskWarrior is a bit tricky as the CD is bootable only in Mac OS 10 and can cripple an iMac Slot Loading machine that hasn't had the Firmware update. They include an older Mac OS 9 version on that CD however you would have to install it into something that is bootable.

    It turned out that WD is the big bad guy in this game.
    According the data rescue company where I asked for an inspection, both of the drives had their reader head loose. And in the one, which was my already-in-use disk its even damaged the platters... xxxxx
    So its time to pay bunch of money to recover, and take a walk to wd service to bang on the desk.
    Also note - it may be somehow related to intellispeed technology - since macs not really friendly with wd-s built-in solutions.
    On the other hand, with WD GP 1Tb there is no problems at all for ages.

  • Bonjour can't find wi-fi cameras

    If "Realtek High Definition Audio" is listed under the "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager then that is your sound driver. Some people have had luck with uninstalling the Realtek HD audio driver from their computer via the Device Manager (be sure to check the "Delete driver software for this "), and then reinstalling it. You can get the latest version of the Realtek HD audio driver from the Realtek download site.
    Many of us who have the Realtek HD sound driver have had to make several tweaks to improve the sound. Opening the Realtek HD Manager and enabling Loudness Equalization and setting the equalizer to Powerful helps with some of the low audio issues some of us have experienced with the Realtek HD sound drivers.
