Brother DCP 130C Printer not connecting tO mac OSX 10.6.8

Following the upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard my Brother DCP 130 C Printer  not working have tried downloading upgrade without success

I have to raise a different view point. Many users of macs are ordinary, non-techie people, who simply want a machine to do basic things. I know people with very old macs, and they are happily using them for simple purposes. I have 10.6.8, and any upgrade would cost me some money to upgrade parallels. Macs can run for years, and I believe that it is important for equipment to be able to be used for long periods of time, if the user wishes. Also, earlier OS are very commonly unsed in coutries where money and internet is not as available as to many of us.
I also use a mac with XP as I need a small install base for only one PC based software that I occasionally use.
As a developer, I would expect them to look at the actual installed back of OS, and realise that some simple functionality should be backward to existing users. The ability for a phone to connect to earlier OS is something which I did not even think about - I thought it would be automatic. Its also not that difficult to develop.
The forums are awash with frustrated new pruchasers of Lumia phones, suddenly realising that their expected functionality with PC Suite, etc has now gone. Many of those people are very frustrated, and they will pass on their frustrations to others, and sales will be affected.
I have been a Nokia user now for about six years, and I have watched the same frustrations of users, requesting Nolia to develop expected connection, integration, and sync software that other phone manufacturers seem to be able to do. Finally, a reasonable PC Suite version is now developed, but not compatible with Lumia?? Do we have to go through the whole waiting thing again? Why cannot Nokia look at this not as a software problem, but an expected functionality feature.

  • Our Printer 6700 all in one shows " Printer not connected" on Mac

    Hi,
    We recently changed our router from Netgear to Lynksys. Since then we have problems to print from MAC computers and laptops.
    The Printer is connected properly to the Router, our computers as well and of course on the same network.
    The Macs recognize the printer at first and when we try to print it says 'Printer not connected".
    We reset printing system a few times and still have the same problem.
    Please help , as the printer works properly from an Sony Vaio PC but not from our Macs.

    Hi @AnthonyMiami ,
    I see that you are having issues printing over the wireless network on the Mac computers since changing your router. The PC works though. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer..
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
    Try printing.
    If you are still having issues, add the printer through the IP Protocal to see if you can print, just to rule out a network issue.
    Go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners, click on the + button, select the IP Protocal across the top, type in the printer's IPv4 address, select jet direct below and then Apply.
    Try printing.
    Please let me know the results.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Nokia Lumia 920 - Not connecting on MAC OSX 10.6.8

    Hello everybody,
    I have this problem that alot of people are encounting but it seems having no solutions yet.
    I bought my Nokia Lumia 920 a couple days ago, made all the updates alvaible but still I can't connect my phone to my MacBook Pro. 
    The funny part is that my dropbox application on my mac detect my phone and tries to import my pictures where neither iTunes or Finder are able to recognize my Nokia. 
    The all support we got is to download a app which is not working for the OSX 10.6.8 and they seem to force us to upgrade to the 10.7 OSX.
    It is my right, as a consummer, to choose to OS I want for my laptop and it is to both Windows and Nokia to make their devices compatible to their customers computers. 
    So here is my call to all Nokia and Windows developpers: Do not ignore us, there is a problem and the first step in order to solve it is to recognize this problem. 
    The least you can do is to tell us that you are currently working on it because I feel all alone in the dark but I am pretty sure I am not alone and you might loose some clients that are delighted with your phone but really "**bleep**" off the way that they are treated in the process of solving this important problem. 
    Thank you for your time and comprehension,
    I am looking forward some advices from any developpers.

  • Why won't my printer (Brother HL2270DW) print out Elements User bi-monthly magazine?  Screen says PDF format not supported or printer not connected (it is) or shows an empty screen.  No other printing problems on any website.

    Why won't my printer (Brother HL2270DW) print out Elements bi-monthly magazine.  Screen says either printed not connected (not true) or PDF not supported of shows a blank document.  No problems printing on any other website.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • 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!

  • Wifi printing after Mountain Lion upgrade, "printer not connected" error

    I have Canon MP610 printer.  Was getting error message "Looking for printer" or "Printer not connected" after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.  Printing works fine when I directly plug in USB cord to MacBook Pro to print. However, on the wifi network, no luck.  Today I have upgraded Canon's latest driver, reset the printer system, deleted printers from system icon in System Preferences, added new printer back in..... Nothing.
    I have reset Time Capsule, where my printer USB is currently plugged into.
    Nothing.
    Please advise what to try next...??

    AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
    5.6 doesn't work with Mountain Lion, so am I stuck?
    I already had AirPort Utility 5.6 on a Lion machine and upgraded to Mountain Lion with no issues. AirPort Utiliy 5.6 works fine as does AirPort Utility 6.1.
    But, I did not try to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 since it was already on the Mac.
    Please try again and report on your results.

  • Printer not connected error in 10.10.3

    I'm getting "Printer not connected" now since I've upgraded to 10.10.3 on my Epson WF-3540 on my MBPr. My two other Macs are not having this issue, one of which is also 10.10.3 and the other 10.10.2 (a MacPro and MBP respectfully).
    I have tried the following on my MBPr:
    Delete Jobs
    Pause and restart queue
    Restarting Mac
    Restarting Printer
    Resetting Printer
    Delete and reinstall printer - Both via AirPrint and Epson drivers
    Reinstall fresh downloaded drivers
    Repeat 6 with new driver install
    SMC and PRRAM reset
    Printer can be seen easily in printer control panel for setup. Setup proceeds normally. Then when attempting to print, the queue displays "Printer not connected" error.

    If the printer works with AirPrint, you don't need the EPSON software and you should remove it. Then see below:

  • Canon ImagePROGRAF 6350 PRINTER NOT CONNECTED ERROR

    My Canon ImagePROGRAF 6350 is connected via USB to my iMac; however, I am still getting a PRINTER NOT CONNECTED ERROR. How do I fix this?

    We updated two computers on our network to 10.6.8 (from 10.5) and another (PPC iMac) to 10.5 (from 10.4). In each case, I had to first remove the printer from Print/Fax, then reinstall from the original CD, and then update to latest drivers, and then the printer worked fine. This was for a Canon 8210 Print and Scan multifunction device, so I was inferring that Canon drivers/software need to be reinstalled when updating to later versions of the OS. Hence my recommendation. The Canon website shows drivers for your device for both 10.6 and 10.7, so it appears to be usable under the latest Mac OS. It seems that if you can start from as close to "scatch" as you can and then reinstall (much as if you got the printer brand new), you have a better chance. This might involve "uninstalling" by hand if need be, to remove vestiges of the previously installed stuff.

  • I recently replaced my dead airport router with a netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer and yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline".

    I recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?

    You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off!  Thank you dwb!

  • Unable to print, "printer not connected" but previously no problem

    I then removed the printer from the list in the settings, now it won't populate a list to choose from to add a printer
    desktop macintosh 10.9.2
    HP deskjet 3054A printer

    I turned all off for the night, then turned back on this morning.  When I tried to print, it said "printer not connected".  Then I removed the printer from the list (system preferences--printers & scanners--hitting the - sign).  Then I tried to repopulate the list (still in system preferences--printers-- hit the +) .  Nothing shows up.  No printers to choose from.  And no printing "no printer selected".  I turned all off again, hoping the list would populate when I turned it back on, but still no list to choose a printer from. 
    My printer does show up on the list when I plug it in with a USB cord, but still doesn't work. (can't remember if I had to do this in the very beginning). I don't know about reinstalling.....don't have the cd, but don't think the cd was used anyway.  I have looked all through the printer instructions on the printer small screen (HP deskjet 3054A 611j)  and did hit return to default settings.  Could I have reset an address or something?  Of course I did this after I already had a problem.  
    All other literature refers me to the printer cd for reinstall. 
    Very frustrating.  Thanks for your efforts, any other ideas?

  • Cisco Connect does not run with Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    When I first installed Cisco Connect that came with my E1500 router, I was running Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.7) and it worked fine.  I upgraded my OSX to Mountain Lion and now when I start Cisco Connect, I get:
    Unsupported operating system
    The router software supports these operating systems:
    - Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later
    - Mac OS X 10.6.1 or later
    - Mac OS X 10.7 or later
    I saw some other thread/info/download on Cisco Connect with Lion (10.7) but nothing for Moutain Lion (10.8) - is there a fix forthcoming?
    Thanks
    Gary

    All i want to do is disable the guest function through cisco. i live in an apartment and everyone logs into my guest account. i was at my neighbours and they were laughing saying they done need to subscribe for the internet cause they just log onto local wi fi. and mine is one of them. i dont know if that'll slow down my internet with so many people using it. but all i want to do is just avoid it all together and get rid of it. but in this case i am having the same problem as all of you. to disable the guest function you need to go through cisco connect and it is not compatible with mac osx mountain lion. grrrrrrr

    Please check if there are any updates pending for Suitcase fusion and Illustrator.
    You can also try resetting AI preferences.

    Do you get any crash report. Look if it says anything for Wacom or extensis?
