Cannon printer help!

I recently got a new iMac g5 20 inch screen 2 Ghz. I had also purchased a Cannon i960 printer for my previous printer, and iMac G3. It works fine on the G3 (running 10.3.8) But now on my G5 (on 10.4.2) it doesn't work! I tried installing the driver, but then after I printed something, I went to print something else, but it didn't work! I need to reinstall the driver every time I need to print something! Help!

Will,
I have a Canon i860 which uses the same driver 2.3.5. Open Printer Setup Utility
Highlight the printer click on "get info" if it's there and you'll see the driver version. I couldn't get into Canon's US site but here's a link for your printer via the Canadian site:

The download is there. Don't forget to repair permissions after the install. Hope this helps!

  • I am unable to print PDF's using either Adobe Reader or Safari. In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my Cannon printer that says, "/usr.libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed". In Safari, I can only print the first page of a PDF.

    3 - I have deleted all plist that are either Cannon or Adobe.
    4 - I have downloaded and installed the lastest versions of Adobe Reader and the Cannon printer drivers.

  • Since installing Firefox, my number pad on my laptop & my Cannon printer don't work

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • Cannon printer mp480

    I bought my mac pro 3-5 years ago right before the 10.6 update.  I ordered a cannon printer mp480 it was free at the time with my mac pro. It sat in the box for a few years, I just opened it a few months ago. Can it be used with the IOS 10.6?  I'm reading online where it's not compatable... now i know why they may have been giving them away:)
    I can use the copier, but not the scanner or printer.  I can't print anything off of the internet or my computer.  Please help direct me if you can...
    Thank you,
    OC103

    You could ask Canon. You could check for driver updates at their web site and/or you could install this driver update:

    According to the list of printers supported your is so I don't know where you got your miss-information from.

  • Cannon printer/scanner image class mf4150

    can I install my cannon printer/fax/scanner image class MF4150 to my IMAC OS X Mountain Lion?

    Hi Glenn!
    I will be glad to assist you.
    It appears that one of the buttons on the control panel may be sticking and causing the error.  I recommend powering off the machine and unplugging it from the wall.  Once the unit is unplugged, press all of the buttons on the control panel, starting left to right, one at a time.  Next, plug the machine back in and power it on. 
    I hope this information is helpful to you.  If the error persists, I recommend that you contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) for further assistance.

  • I have a iPhone 4S and a Cannon Printer with AirPrint. I have the printer and the iPhone both on the same network, however I still can't locate the printer on the phone. Works just fine with the laptop on the same network. Any suggestions?

    I have a iPhone 4S and a Cannon Printer with AirPrint. I have the printer and the iPhone both on the same network, however I still can't locate the printer on the phone. Works just fine with the laptop on the same network. Any suggestions?

    ok no problem! all i did was 1) set up the mobile hotspot on my phone. 2)  turn it and wifi on on the phone. 3)  connect the laptop/desktop to the hotspot network. 4) insert setup disk for the printer and begin setup. 5) complete the setup "using a usb cord to temporarilly connect the computer and printer" 6) unplug usb cable and finish set up on the laptop/desktop. 7) give it a few minutes to show up on the AirPrint menu on the phone. 8) that should be it. I unplugged the printer and plugged it back in, made sure the laptop was totally turned off AND disconnected from the network, and did everything I could to try and make it not work. The printer I have is a Canon MG3122, it doesn't have a fancy screen or even a way to input a password or anything like that, so it just strores a default network that it will connect to. in order to change networks i would have to complete setup multiple times. Since I only plan to use it with AirPrint for my mobile business....the one network is just fine! Hope this helps!

  • How do I make my Cannon Printer MP250work with my new iMac?

  • Problems when printing help topics from OHJ

    We have encountered some persistent problems when printing help topics from Oracle Help for Java (Ice Browser).
    NOTE: When we print the same source files from Oracle Help for the Web, the printing problems are gone.
    (1) Spacing Errors (all printers had identical results)
    Text with special formatting (<b>, <i>) often has either too much space or not enough space.
    Links often have extra spaces underlined before or after the link, itself.
    (2) When printing multiple help topics from the TOC (an entire branch in the tree):
    On some printers, no graphics print correctly, but instead print as one of the following: 1. empty box the size of one character, 2. black box the size of one character, 3. black box the size of the original graphic. We could not detect a pattern that caused 1, 2, or 3.
    NOTE: all graphics are bit maps (screen captures) that were generated in the same manner.
    NOTE: if these same help topics are printed one at a time form Oracle Help for Java, the graphics print fine.
    Is this a problem with the Ice Browser?
    Thanks for the help,
    Wendy Studinski

    There are a known issue with the ICEBrowser printing in some circumstances. The laying out of text by the ICE Browser relies on font metrics (being able to measure the width of a run of text in a given font). On screen it looks great, but when printing, even though the GraphicsConfiguration for the printer is being used, these widths are sometimes off, which can result in text running together at boundaries between text styles. We're not sure what to do about this problem, and we've reported it to IceSoft.
    Not every font has this problem, so varying the font you are using might help the appearance when printed.
    The other problem you report, problems with the images when printing multiple topics, is something that we will look into.

  • MG series 5320 Cannon printer, error code 6000 appears, can't get rid of it

    Cannon Printer MG5320, Error code appears, can't get rid of it??  can anyone help

    Hi ikovach10,
    To try and resolve the error, if any object is placed in front of the machine, please remove it.  Next, please open the paper output tray gently, then turn the power off and back on.  If the error still appears, please turn off the machine, unplug the power cord from the power supply and leave it unplugged for 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it back on.  If the error persists, the printer will require servicing..  Please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for servicing options available to you.

  • Borderless Printing Help

    I really need some borderless printing help. I finally figured out with my printer, that the bottom margin is ridiculously offset so I need to use borderless printing to prevent the bottom footer from being cut off (HP 2610 printer, margins being read are .07"-top, .13"-right&left, .56"-bottom).
    I know there is a way to choose borderless from the page setup screen. And I tried looking in the system preferences to see if I could choose borderless as the default but there doesn't seem to be a way as far as I can see.
    Does anybody know if there is a way to override the settings and make the borderless 8.5x11 the default paper size instead of the standard US letter?
    BTW I am looking to do this on a system-wide basis since multiple programs have this problem, but if anyone knows of ways to do this specifically in Pages or Word that would be helpful too.

    Got it to work in MS Word 2004. Any idea of how to get it to save in Pages 2? I choose to Save As Default, but it keeps reverting back when I open a new document.

  • Bex Broadcasting w/Print Help Service

    I need to set up BEX Broadcast that will process a web template, then run the Print Help Service, and finally send the output (print formatted) to an email distribution list. 
    How can I set up either the web template or the broadcaster so that it will include the call to the print help service in it's command stream when scheduled through the broadcaster?
    Thanks

    Audrey,
    usually, you don't attach "modify_class" to the URL CMD, rather it needs to be attached to the object tag of the "item".
    Once it is attached to the object tag, you just need to attach "help_serivce" class & the "item" to the URL CMD.
    I've included a few lines of sample code here. Hope it helps.
    <object>
    <param name="HELP_SERVICE" value="ZPRINTING"/>
    <param name="MODIFY_CLASS" VALUE = "ZCL_TABLE_ENHANCE">
             ITEM:            TABLE_1
    </object>
    <A href="JavaScript:window.open(SAP_BW_URL_Get() + '&CMD=PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW&help_service=ZPRINTING&item=TABLE_1');" >

  • Don't know if this went through the first time. Cannon printer would not print black. bought a new Epson-800. Same problem. Can it be something in my Mac causing the problem. It's only the black that is not working.

  • Cannot Print Report of Developer 6i CANNON Printer

    Hi,
    I am having reports of Developer 6i. In the previous, I have those reports in D2K. Now i complied and the report on Developer 6i and run . The reports are displayed but when i ask for print, it prints only the first page. This things appear in the CANNON Printer. But when we go for the HP printer, this problem does resolve.
    Pleas give me a solution.
    Farhad Islam

    in metalink they are reporting similar trouble with CANON printers (LBP-800 and others).
    They were able to solve it by applying patch 11
    and/or getting latest printer drivers.
