Can't find Canon i9900 with New Macbook Pro

I just set up my new Pro and installed(or thought I did) the i9900 driver. When I go to the Printer Setup utility and try to add the printer, it doesn't see any Canon drivers. I have done this several times. Any idea what I am doing wrong.
Thanks!

Hi Roberta,
If the i9900 doesn't show, then we need to make sure FireWire is enabled and working.
First of all, open System Preferences and then Network. Click the Show menu and select Network Port Configurations. Make sure there is a check for Built-in FireWire.
Also, go to your Mac HD (or whatever it is called)/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/Utilities and open the Canon IJ Printer Utility. Change the menu from USB to FireWire. The i9900 should be listed under the Product heading. Do you see this?
If you do, click on the printer name and select Maintenance. From the new window select Ink Level Information from the menu. After a short wait information about all 8 inks should appear, which confirms the Mac and the i9900 are communicating.
If the above is okay then try adding the driver again. Open Printer Setup Utility, click Add, click Default Browser, click More Printers, select Canon BJ Firewire. A similar window to the Canon IJ Printer Utility window will now show and the i9900 should be listed under the Product heading. Click on the i9900 and select Add. The driver should now be added to the printer list. There is no need to browse for a driver. The utility will select it for you (and it doesn't give you the choice to browse the Canon list).
Don't add the printer by clicking on the "1394 BJ_LUNO" listed in the Default Browser. Doing it this way, you will have to browse to the Canon folder but you won't find the i9900 in the list.
Regards,
Paul

  • I cannot find iPhoto on my new macbook pro

    Where can I find iPhoto on my new macbook pro?

    iLife apps don't come preinstalled on new computers. Now, open App Store > Updates and accept iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand, so they'll be registered to your Apple ID and you'll be able to download them whenever you want

    I can´t download skype to my new macbook pro, I can´t find it in the App Store, do you know why?

    There are a number of developers who have chosen for various reasons not to offer their software through the Mac App Store, so don't assume that if an application is not in the App Store that the application is not available. It may well be available directly from the developer or some other download site. MacUpdate is a good resource for looking for applications:

  • I can not use CanoScan N670U with my Macbook pro. I download canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon website. It keep saying "the scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    I can not use CanaScan N670U with my Macbook Pro. I download Canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon websit. It still keep saying "The scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    There is a solution (I'm running Snow Leopard on a Core2Duo iMac, but this problem arose when I was running Leopard on a G4 PowerBook too).
    Problem:
    You download the OS X driver for the scanner from Canon's site. I already had the CanoScan Toolbox (4.1) stored on an external drive.
    You unzip the driver and run the VISE installer. After a search it finds your copy of Photoshop (and maybe even the CanoScan Toolbox), and you click to install on that/those location(s).
    You get a couple of error messages, which you click through.
    You restart your computer and try to run the scanner but you get an error that the driver is wrong or missing and the process will abort.
    Solution:
    BEFORE you restart, and with the installer package still open -
    1. Copy the Into_CFMSupport_Login & Into_CMPrefs folders to
    Applications : Canon Utilities
    Applications : Canoscan Toolbox
    and remove the prefix Into_ from each folder
    2. Check whether the installer placed N067U_Library.shlb into the top level (not User level)
    Library : CFMSupport
    and if it didn't, move it there yourself
    THEN restart, and try again. It worked for me (via Photoshop), but whether it will work for everyone, I don't know.

  • Can't Connect Via Ethernet on new MacBook Pro

    Hello,
    I'm running into a frustrating problem and hoping someone can help.
    I have a new MacBook Pro that won't connect via Ethernet. My old computer (Powerbook G4) with the same settings works flawlessly.
    Details: under Network Settings I have Automatic/Using DHCP. When I click on Assist Me>Diagnostics, I get green lights all the way down (Built-In Ethernet, Network Settings, ISP, Internet, Server). The Diagnostics tool therefore proudly announces that my Internet connection is working correctly.
    When I open Safari, however, it won't open any page. Using Ping I also get no responses.
    When I plug the exact same ethernet cable into my Powerbook G4, everything works flawlessly. The only difference is that the IP address ends in .25 instead of .30 (I assume that's from the router assigning different IP addresses to the two computers.)
    On another forum i read about someone having a problem with a long/lossy ethernet cable, but I just took my computer to the router and tried with a 2-foot ethernet cable. Same situation.
    Help!
    Thanks

    i rebooted the firewall and it worked.

  • I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro

    I had a nasty suprise I paid out over £1500.00 to be told that I can not sync my phone with this Macbook Pro.
    the reason for buying a Mac is that the windows 7 machine is in little bits so how do I sync that.  there is no music on this Mac pro and if I try to sync my phone it wants to wipe my phone That is Pants!
    <Re-Titled by Host>

    FTFY (for readability):
    "I had a nasty surprise, when after having paid out over £1500.00, I learned that I am unable to sync my phone (unidentified model) with my new MacBook Pro (unidentified model).
    The reason I bought the Mac was due to the fact that my former computer, a Windows 7 machine, has been damaged beyond repair.
    There is no music currently loaded onto my new Mac, and when I try to sync the data on my Mac to my phone (unidentified model) I am prompted with a warning that my phone data will be wiped clean. This is not good!"
    Okay, so I'm just being a little cheeky here - no offense intended.
    Details are always best when seeking assistance, however. Try not to make others do the work for you. Take the time to do it yourself.
    What model of Mac do you have?
    What version of OSX are you using?
    What version of iTunes are you using for syncing purposes?
    What model of phone are you using and what software version is installed on it?
    Try to better articulate the steps you are performing and the warnings that you are encountering.
    Best of luck.

  • Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

    Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

    Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
    Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
    I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
    I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
    How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
    Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

  • Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?

    Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?
    If so, are there any problems and/or limitations in doing so? (i.e. no stereo sound, or anything else?).

    Can you use Bluetooth earphones simultaneously with the Magic Mouse (which is also Bluetooth)?
    And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?
