Can't add Canon MX870 using LPD on OS X 10.6.5

We've just got a new Canon MX870 printer in our office, and I'm trying to add it on my mac (running 10.6.5).
I've chosen LPD as the protocol, entered the printers IP address, and selected Canon MX870 series from the "Print Using" list. When I push the Add button, a windows drops down very briefly (less than a second) titled "Determining Installable Options". When it disapears, I'm left back at the Add Printer window, without the printer having been installed.
I've tried downloading and installing the latest drivers from the Canon website, but that did not help.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Here's what I did to get it fully working. Install the software that came with the printer, when it can't find the printer on the network just cancel. Now that the software is all installed, let's get the printer added to the Mac.
Okay, so what you want to do is go into Device Settings>LAN Settings>Other Settings>Bonjour settings>Enable/disable Bonour> Click Enable
At this point you can also go into Service name and change the name of the printer.
Then reboot the printer.
Go into System Preferences>Print & Fax on your Mac, unlock it if it's locked, and click on the + to add a printer. Now you should be in Add Printer. Click on Default if your not already there, give it a few seconds to locate the printer and the scanner. Select the printer and click Add. Now, if you want the scanner added as well, go back in and click on the +, select the scanner and click Add.
Now, unless there's some other network issue your printer should be fully functional.

    Can I add iOS directly using my ipad?

    Not if you are running iOS 4.3.3 as your tagline indicates. You must update with the latest version of iTunes on a computer. This explains how to do it, if you don't already know how.

  • Can't add Canon Pixma MX310 printer with OS X 10.10.2 Yosemite

    I just got a new laptop that is running OS X Yosemite.  I have my Canon Pixma MX310 printer plugged in via USB but I can't add it.  When I go to the Add screen in preferences, in the default window, Canon MX310 series comes up.  When I select it, I have to "Choose a Driver" in order for the add button to not be greyed out.  Auto select is greyed out so I can only choose Select software which doesn't have anything for Canon or Other which is to select a downloaded driver.  Problem is, when I go to the Canon website to download the driver it says "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."  Any ideas?

  • Crystal Reports can't add stored procedure using Oracle Provider for OLE DB

    Hello,
    I am trying to bind an oracle stored procedure to a crystal report through Visual Studio 2008.
    This oracle stored procedure returns a ref cursor.
    I am using an oracle 11g database (11.2.0.2.0) .
    When I use the Oracle Provider For OLE DB driver to bind the store procedure with the report, I get the following error message:
    Description : ORA -06550 Line 1 Column 7
    PLS 00306 wrong number of types or arguments to the "Strored Procedure Name"
    But When I use the Microsoft OLE DB provider for oracle driver, I can bind the stored procedure to the report successfully .
    I cannot use the Microsoft OLE DB provider for oracle driver because it does not support the CLOB data type which I plan on having the stored procedure return once I can get everything working.
    I have tried setting PLSQLRSET = 1 IN "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KEY_OraDb11g_home1\OLEDB", but that does not seem to work either
    Any assistance would be greatly Appreciated
    My Stored procedure is very simple as the moment (I just need to get it working then I'll add more stuff). Here's what it looks like:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE PROMO.PKG_REPORT as
    TYPE OUT_Type IS REF CURSOR;
    procedure Report_ThisReport (
    p_ThisIdField IN number,
    IO_CURSOR IN OUT OUT_Type
    end PKG_REPORT;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY PROMO.PKG_REPORT as
    procedure REPORT_ThisReport (
    p_ThisIdField IN number,
    IO_CURSOR IN OUT OUT_Type
    IS
    BEGIN
    OPEN IO_CURSOR FOR
    SELECT ThisField
    FROM ThisTable
    WHERE ThisIdField = p_ThisIdField ;
    END REPORT_ThisReport;
    end PKG_REPORT;

    It seems that some questions posted here on the XE forum are really questions about other Oracle technologies.
    Concretely, for you there is an Oracle Provider for OLE DB Forum that is active and a terrific resource for you to use.

  • Can you add routes to use ipsec0 interface on SRP521W?

    I bought a couple of these to trial for location to remote telemedicine sites.  However I am only able to route one network range over the IPSec VPN.  I have to route multiple network ranges, and I am not able to make any modifications to the static routes for the ipsec0 interface, only WAN1 and LAN1.  Ideally, I would change the default route to use ipsec0.  But if that isn't an option, then just add specific ranges. 
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    That sucks.  I have never used a GRE tunnel before, I tried yesterday building one to my Nexus 7010 with no success.  It seems like it would be so easy if I could just get the option to select the ipsec0 interface when adding static routes.
    Can you recommend the next step router or firewall I could use to be able to send all traffic over the VPN, or at least add additional routes or network lists to send over the VPN?  I am assuming the ASA 5505 would work perfectly, but I was hoping for a more budget concious option as we'll have these all over town.
    Otherwise, if anyone can give me tips or suggestions on how to build the GRE tunnel from the SRP521W to a Nexus 7010 that would be great.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Did you go to the Firefox profile folder and delete all places.* files or moved them to another location (folder)?
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    That will force Firefox to create a new places.sqlite database file and automatically import the bookmarks from the most recent JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
    I'm not sure if a reset would work properly in cases like this with possible file corruption, but you can give it a try if deleting places.sqlite didn't work.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
    If you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
    You will lose extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you've made.
    It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious to avoid carrying over the problem.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • How can I add excel pictures using activex

    I would like to be able to use activex to insert an image into an excel spreadsheet. I know how to read and write data, but the chart feature is too cunmbersome and when I updated excel to 2007 most of the calls stopped working. I see that there is a pictures property/method that lets me specify an image file, but I don't know which property/method(s) to call it from.

    2007 does take more time to draw the data on the chart. I am not having any problems with errors on the active X for 2007. I is much slower than 2003 I would agree. My IT group moved us to 2007 so I am stuck with it no matter how slow it is. I am trying to figure out how to get the help file back. I had these in 2003 myself. I know it has nothing to do with LabVIEW. It is an add in or some switch that you need to throw in excel to allow for this connection.

  • Can't add JMS topics using weblogic.Admin

    I have seen a similar problem being mentioned before on this board, except it occurred more directly through management APIs. I'm working with Weblogic 6.1, and trying to create a JMSTopic from command-line using weblogic.Admin
    First I create a JMSServer (using CREATE operation) and set its Targets attribute (using SET). Then I create a JMSTopic (again, using CREATE) and set its JNDIName attribute (again, using SET). All of this works fine, and I see the new JMSServer in the console correctly targeting the right server, and I see both the JMSServer and JMSTarget entries in the config.xml of my domain.
    Now, I try to add the topic under the server using addDestination method (through weblogic.Admin operation INVOKE). addDestination returns "false" with no further explanation or exceptions. If I try to go through the SET operation and target the Destinations property of JMSServer, again I get a silent failure with no further info.
    Is this a bug? Has someone ever succeeded in doing this before? Any Ideas?
    Thanks!
    -Boris

    I'm replying to my own message because a kind soul gave me the solution. Apparently
    it's not documented (or at least not well enough that I could find it), so I'm reiterating
    it for the benefit of others.
    In order to register a JMSTopic (or a JMSQueue) under a JMSServer, you do not use
    the addDestination or setDestinations methods on the JMSServer. Instead, you set
    the (un-exposed) Parent property on the topic or queue MBean. For example, if I
    had created a JMSServer MyJmsServer and a JMSTopic MyJmsTopic, I would need to issue
    the following command:
    weblogic.admin <usual url/username/password stuff> SET -mbean "mydomain:Name=MyJmsTopic,Type=JMSTopic"
    -property Parent "mydomain:Name=MyJmsServer,Type=JMSServer"
    My heartfelt thanks to you, Ajay!

  • Newly released album is DRM protected, can't add to phone using Doubletwist?

    I am new to Itunes and have just purchased my first music album.
    I was hoping to use the doubletwist Android app to sync my new Itunes music to my phone, however ran into an error which told me that my music is DRM protected and I would need to upgrade to Itunes Plus.
    A little bit of research into all this unfamiliar territory seemed to suggest that Itunes annouced it had stopped selling DRM protected music in 2009, so my question is why does my new album, which was released in October 2012 have this DRM and why do I need to pay to remove it.
    Album in question is BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge - 2012.
    Thank you for any responses.
    Daniel

    A little bit of research into all this unfamiliar territory seemed to suggest that Itunes annouced it had stopped selling DRM protected music in 2009,
    Not exactly.  The exact official words are:
    "Why is iTunes Plus format available for certain music, but not all?
    The reason that certain music and music videos are not offered in our DRM-free, highest quality audio format is because they have not been provided in iTunes Plus format from the music label."
    Some newer files look like they have DRM, but don't really, and can be "cleaned up" by changing the file extension from .m4p to ,m4a, and then re-adding to the library.  Give it a try.
