Can't use correct driver for Canon MF4140 USB printer shared by Windows XP

Hi all,
I have a Canon MF4140 printer connected to my Windows XP desktop machine via USB. The printer is shared and I can see it over the network with my MacBook running OS-X 10.4.
I've downloaded the OS-X version of the printer driver from Canon, but I can't select it when adding the printer in OS-X, so I can't access any of the printer settings. I've selected the generic driver but that doesn't allow me to do double sided or 2-up printing.
Is this because the printer driver does not support network printing, as the printer doesn't have a network interface?

I guess this isn't clear on the iFelix page. To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers), but your model isn't in Gimp-Print. You can look around for other CUPS drivers, but Lexmark hasn't been cooperative with driver writers. Here are the CUPS driver sources:

You may find it easier to share from OS X.

  • Why can't use thunderbolt drive for Cloud files folder?

    why can't I use thunderbolt drive for Cloud files folder?  It's too big for my limited laptop storage.
    Thanks

    Because sync requires to use persistent storage locations. This is out of Adobe's control. It is entirely up to the hardware vendor how he anchors the drive/ volume and integrates it into the file and folder structure.

  • Has anyone found the correct driver for Canon MF4018 printer?

    I have tried installing all of the available drivers including MF4010 which other users have reported works- I keep getting Error-50 and cannot print anything. If anyone has used any driver for this printer that is compatible with my macbook pro - that could help me out a lot.

    Since it's a 10.8 issue, why not place a new post in the 10.8 usage forum?

  • Canon Pixma MX300 Printer sharing through Windows PC

    I have a canon mx300 printer hooked up to a windows pc and share it wireless throught aiport extreme with a Macbook pro and Macbook. Thing is I can not use the CD that came with the printer to install the drivers on the MACS. They will not work when I try and connect to the printer throught the windows pc. I can not even find the Pixma MX300 on the mac printer list yet they sell it on the apple site.
    I have gone to canon site and downloaded the latest versions of the drivers but when connecting through the windows pc those versions still do not work. Only thing I have been able to do is try a preloaded driver found on the Mabook Pro/Macbook but they do not work 100%. Paper feeds funny and colors do not work correct. Any recomendations.

    The easiest thing to do is install Bonjour for Windows on the PC. Then, your Mac will be able to find and use the printer.
    However, from the Mac's point of view, the printer is no longer a Canon printer. It is a Windows printer and you have to go through the Windows SAMBE printer sharing features.

    HI All,
    I am using JDBC driver to pull data from MS SQL Server
    2000 for my application Liaison Content Exchange, and
    which only accepts JDBC drivers to talk to databases.
    I dowloaded the driver from Microsoft website, and had
    a successful installation.What do you call "a successful installation"? Where was the JAR file places?
    But the application ask me for Driver Name, Class, URL, Time out and Data Source.What application do you mean? Liaison Content Exchange? I'm not familiar with that product.
    By default no driver is available in the drop down combo box. After using
    "com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSource" as
    class and
    jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://192.168.17.2:1433; as url,
    the application throw me a error which states "Unable
    to instantiate an instance of the application driver"Sounds like it could be one of several things:
    (1) The JDBC JAR is not in the CLASSPATH where Liaison Content Exchange expects to find it.
    (2) You need to do something else to tell Liaison Content Exchange more information to define the data source.
    (3) The URL might be incorrect. Only you can know if the IP address of the host is correct. You don't supply a database name - perhaps you should. Are you sure that 1433 is the correct port number? I know that's true for SQL Server 7.0, but I remember that the default was changed to something else for SQL Server 2000. Ask your database admin what port this listener is assigned to for SQL Server 2000.
    (4) You might want to append ";selectmethod=cursor" to the end of your URL. (See the docs for this.)
    (5) Make sure you can connect to the database with something other than Java (e.g., the M$ SQL Server client).
    . I am not able to trouble shoot this problem, any one
    pls help me ASAP at [email protected]
    Thx.Bad idea to post an e-mail address. You're not supposed to communicate outside the forum. it's against the guidelines for using the forum.

  • Can I use tape drive for backup with win 2012 OS & Sybase database?

    I have installed enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 with OS windows 2012 and database sybase ASE(15.7.050). I am facing problem while taking database backup on tape drive. I want to know how to initialize tape drive in case of sybase DB and is it possible to take back-up on same. I failed to schedule backup from DB13 so now I am doing that activity by command line. So please help me to solve these issues.
    Here I am attaching some files related with backup commands that presently I am using. My SAP system ID is DQS.

    That output actually looks pretty good, it was dumping to the tape drive, it just ran out of tape because the drive apparently doesn't automatically detect when it is reaching the end.
    For the next step, try adding a CAPACITY parameter to your dump command as discussed at these places in the documentation.
    Specifying tape capacity for dump commands
    Set the Maximum Capacity for a Tape Drive
    Your output above shows it was able to dump 87565594 KB before it ran out of tape,
    so lets be a little conservative and try
    dump database DQS to TAPE1 with   capacity = 87000000, init
    go
    When the dump reaches that point, ASE should prompt you to pop in another new tape
    and then issue the sp_volchanged procedure from a second session (it will tell you what parameters to use for sp_volchanged).
    Note: once we get the dump working successfully, we can then create a logical dump device that would store the capacity value, and create a full dump configuration so you gain all the new functionality like dump history, etc.

  • Driver for Canon LBP-3000 printer

    to all,
    i could imagine tha there would be no driver of the LBP-3000 available for mac...
    i found a site, saying that there is a CAPT driver from a japanese canon's site. the problem is... the dirver fits only up to Mac OS X 10.4.4... the OS in my macbook is tiger...
    what should i do???
    thanks!

    10.4.4 is Tiger. Current build is 10.4.6. Next one coming up is 10.4.7, so this driver is supported in Tiger.
    From MacOSHints:
    After months of frustration of having to use Virtual PC running Windows XP in order to print to the Canon LBP 3000, I've finally discovered that Canon has indeed (albeit silently to the whole world) released a CAPT printer driver that works without the ridiculous requirement of having to have the Japanese version of OS X installed. This is not the Linux CUPS version, it is the full LBP CAPT driver made by Canon themselves. Software support: 10.2.8 thru to 10.4.4 (in English)
    http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/lasershot/captusbmacx.html
    It apparently works with:
    LBP-2410 / 1210 / 1120 / 1110 / 1110, Premium / 1110SE, LBP5200 / 5000 / 3600 / 3500 / 3300 / 3210 / 3200 / 3000.
    I've tested it with LBP3000 on 10.4.5 (directly and via Printer Sharing). The installer is in Japanese, and it quits all applications and requires a restart, and requires you to manually setup the printer using the System Preferences. After this mild digression, you have full printer functionality and setup options (including toner usage), all in English, and it's nice and fast.
    My insanity has now gone, and I can now terminate that unnecessary relationship with Virtual PC for good!
    PS: Japanese language skills are not required, just press the default button(s) when installing. If you're looking for an excellently cheap printer, I can now seriously recommend the LBP-3000.

  • Equium A100 - can I use E drive for data saving?

    My Equium A100-27 has an 80GB hard drive, this is slit in half C drive and E drive.
    I understand that the E drive is used for system recovery purposes but can I also use it to store data on?
    If I do use it for data how much room should be left clear for system recovery?

    Hi
    I think the E partition is used for Recover image. The Toshiba notebooks are preinstalled with an Toshiba recover disk creator. This tool allows you to create a own disk. And the image is placed on the additional partition

  • Use external drive for Time Capsule backups AND file storage?

    I have an external drive formatted by my MBP.  I'm using it to store my iTunes music library and iPhoto pics.  Can I use the drive for Time Capsule backups as well?

    Yes, but that is not recommended. Storage and backup should be kept separate to reduce the chances of a disk failure. This is especially important because you cannot even partition a Time Capsule drive. Go get a separate drive for your storage needs. Get another drive for a second backup and use a different method of backup than Time Machine

  • I can't load the driver for a canon ir c2550.

    Thanks so much for your response
    I reset printer systems, and was only able to add Canon MG6200 series, either with Bonjour or Canon IJ Network, but cannot find the correct printer software for MG6250 (there is no option for any Canon MG printers) the only choice is Generic PostScript Printer.
    I have tried using this, but the print job is not going to the printer itself, it appears that it is, but then under the canon print box, it simply dissappears.

    At this point is the printer connected to the Mac via a USB cable?
    Do you think that I should attach the printer with the old usb cable from my previous printer and try that appears to defeat the purpose of having a wifi printer    Or will this simply allow the computer to find the printer and then I can remove the cable?  Thanks

  • Can i use time capsule for external h drive and also for time machine?

    Can i use time capsule for external h drive and also for time machine?

    Hello, vascocaco.
    If I understand correctly, you're wondering if you can use your Time Capsule's internal hard disk both for Time Machine backups and as an ordinary drive. Is this your question?
    You can, but Time Machine backups may take longer.
    To do it, you should partition your Time Capsule's hard disk to create one volume for the backups and one for other files.
