My MX882 will not print. I get the message "Printer not responding"

It has worked flawlessly for 18 months and there have been no system changes except for a recent WIndows security update. This problem only affects my Dell laptop (Windows XP); my MacBook Pro prints just fine over the network. After speaking to Canon Tech Support three times and reinstalling the software twice, I have run out of ideas. After the reinstalls, the printer does not show up in the Control Panel Devices and Faxes or the Device Manager, but the scanner function does work; apparently that driver installed properly, but not the printer driver.
Tech Support has theorized that there is a security policy issue on my laptop preventing the installation of the NT 4.0 driver, and that I should contact Dell. I got nowhere with Dell on this matter. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Update: I unistalled the MP drivers and reinstalled from the Canon website. The Setup Results show that the printer, scanner and fax drivers were installed and the printer now appears on the Control Panel Devices and Faxes page with a Ready status. It does not show up on the Device Manager. I also unistalled the latest Windows Security updates and restarted the laptop. No luck.... I still can not print, but can scan.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Thanks

Hello.
Please try to temporarily disable any firewall or anti-spyware programs that are on the system. These programs may be preventing communication with the printer.

HP Laserjet 1300 "printer not responding"

I have a G5 tower, with Tiger and am printing to an HP Laserjet 1300. I often get the message: "printer not responding". If I turn the printer off and on, it works. any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm connected through usb.

Is your printer connected through a hub or directly to the computer?

Network printer not responding

Hello
When I try to print from my MacBook to my Canon network printer, I get the error message "printer not responding", even the printer works fine with both windows notebooks connected to the same WLAN.
I have a Canon MF8540Cdn printer connected with Ethernet to my router. The printer has the ip address 10.1.1.10, the gateway is 10.1.1.1 (Router IP) and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Then I have three notebooks, one MacBook (IP 10.1.1.101) and two windows notebooks (a HP notebook (IP 10.1.1.102) and a Lenovo notebook (IP 10.1.1.103)). All three notebooks are connected wo the same WLAN using enterprise encryption.
The two windows notebooks can print to the canon printer perfectly fine and have not havd any issues at all.
However, from the MacBook I can not print since the upgrade to OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks. I have the latest update from Mavericks.
So, I deleted the printer (settings - printer) and resetted the printing system and deleted the printer also in the folder "Library - Printers". Then I got the latest driver (version 10.2) from Canon and installed the driver (dmg file).
Next I added the printer in the in the settings as follows:
1. Hit the "+" buttton to add a printer
2. Select "IP"
3. enter the ip address of the printer (10.1.1.10)
4. Select "Line printer daemon"
5. The system automatically detected the printer "MF8500 Series" and filled in the location.
6. Add the printer
When I open the printer options now, I can see the toner levels corretly, so the MacBook must have connection to the printer.
In addition, I can open the printer web address in Safary by going to http://10.1.1.10 , this also works fine and I can modify settings too. So the IP connection is also fine here.
But, when I print a document, PDF, Word, Safari,..., the system firs report "connecting to the printer" and after a while it states "printer not responding"!
The printer seems not to get any info, as it does not start or show any error message.
However, the two windows notebooks can print fine, and I tried to print from windows, then directly after print from the MacBook, or first MacBook then windows or both allone, wait 1 hour print from MacBook, then wait one hour and print from Windows.
The result is always the same. The windows print fine, the MacBook does not print and reports printer not responding.
If I check the log file on the MacBook, it shows the time and the job number and then printer not responding.
Meanwhilte I deleted the printer aleready a couple times and also reinstalled the printer driver from Canon. On the Canon cummunity I also submitted a ticket, but everybody responded that the driver works perfectly fine.
Any idea, where the problem could be?
Thanks for any help,
Rolly

Select "Line printer daemon"
Why are you doing that? When you select the printer in the Add dialog, the driver should be entered automatically. Does that not happen?

CS4 "Printer Not Responding"

Hi, I successfully printed a doc from CS4 with my canon ip4300 printer, seconds later another would not print. The printer dialogue says "printer not responding".
After re-start got message "unrecognised USB device" , so I uninstalled then re-installed the printer.
I can now print from Notepad and Lightroom but if I try to print from Photoshop CS4 I still get message "printer not responding".
Seems to be a photoshop problem rather than a printer problem, any ideas??

Hey! Give yourself 10 points and a thataboy.

Printer not responding message

My computer no longer works with my printer. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.2 and a HP C 6280. Original problem started today when I tried to print, intial indication was normal but after a minute or so computer print info shows "printer not responding" message. Printer is plugged in, works as a copier and I printed a HP Network Configuration Page from the printer itself. I followed instructions on the forum and took the printer away System Preferences>Printers Scanners> Delete and when I tried to reinstall the printer it's not finding it. Looking online it seems the printer should appear as an option when I click the plus on Printer Scanners page I get an ADD screen but the printer isn't listed there either and I can't add it. IP address typed in Browser window doesn't find anything but I don't know how to fix that. I am using a Cable set up and the printer is hooked up via ethernet cable to the modem. This printer has worked fine till now I would certainly appreciate any help getting it back online. Thank You

Hi di757,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that you can't get your printer back online with an Ethernet connection.
I would recommend to try and power off the Mac, turn off the printer, unplug the router for 30 seconds, plug the router back in, turn the printer back on, then turn the Mac back on. After that unplug the Ethernet cable from both ends and plug it back in.
Then I would try to follow this guide. OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Hope this helps, and have a great day.

Hp 5535 will not scan, error message printer not found

I have a HP Envy 5535. I have only been able to scan one time with it. I scanned 22 documents, after running HP Scan Doc 4.4. Each time the HP Scan Doc states that everything is OK, yet as soon as I try to do even a test scan, I get the error message "Printer not found." I have also tried to run this scan with my McAfee virus firewall off, and it still doesn't work. I have also identified it on McAfee as part of my network.
This question was solved.

Lexmark Optra T610: "Printer Not Responding"

Right. Where to start. Just got a new PB G4 17". Used to have a titanium G4 15" running 10.1 through 10.3. Now running 10.4.3 on this new 'book. I have a Lexmark Optra T610 with the USB option, which used to function just fine on the old computer but which is now making me want to toss gasoline and a lighted match on it. Basically, all the necessary software has been installed and the correct (ie, working) cable has been connected. The Printer Setup Utility sees and recognizes the printer, and I can select it in all the print dialogs, as well as change various settings such as resolution. However, when I press Print and the computer does its thing and sends the file to the printer, I get an error message saying "Printer Not Responding". This is driving me nuts and I can't find any word of this anywhere (mind you, I haven't come to the "end" of the internet yet, so maybe the answer is actually out there somewhere). And yes, I have tried doing strange things, such as deleting PPDs and preferences and so forth. I've also gone through all the menus on the printer until it's obvious I'm going in circles. It's like the printer has turned into a feline that simply ignores its master. GRRRR!!!! Thanks for any help you can provide. --Pete

I have had exactly the same problem from my iBook. Until I upgraded to Tiger all I had to do was plug in the USB cable and print. Now I get the "Printer Not Responding" message. I install the latest print driver for OS 10.4 from Lexmark and the computer lists the printer in the print dialog box.
I spoke with Apple tech support and he suggested resetting the printing system after reviewing what else I had done. Noting had worked and neither did this. The only other thing he could suggest was to contact Lexmark, if that didn't work he said we would have to try an archive and reinstall.
I really hope someone has a more constructive suggestion.
Thanks,
Edward

"Sleazy1369" canon PIXMA MG5420

Hi sleazy1369, we're glad to help.
There are a few possible causes of printing error occurring under a wireless or USB connection. If the driver was downloading when pressing the print button, an interruption in the process and ability to print could occur. However, please remove any print jobs that may be pending in the print queue, disconnect the USB cable (if still connected) and shut down both your computer and multifunction printer for 10 mins.
If you prefer to print wirelessly, please use the following link to Article: "Printer not responding (Wireless LAN)- MG5420 / MG5422" on the Canon USA product page for your product. Thee steps provided can be helpful in resolving the issue.
Once reaching the website, just enter the Article name in the FAQ Search box and press "Search" to retrieve the information.
However, if the issue remains or further assistance is needed, please feel free to Contact Us and we'll be happy to help you further.

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!
