Cannot Connect Satellite A355 to a Canon IP Pixma 5000 on a LAN

We just recently bought the Toshiba Satellite A355-S6925 which has the Windows Home VISTA 64 Byte operating system.
The Canon Pixma 5000 printer is directly connected to a WindowsXP computer using the 32 byte operating system.
When I go to add a printer (LAN Option) the Toshiba sees the Canon printer but then returns a error message that there is a wrong driver. When you go to the next step, it says that it can't find the correct "INF" file. I assume that the INF file would actually be on the remote computer that the printer is attached to. So one question, where is a printer's INF on a WindowsXP computer?
As a test, I hooked the printer directly to the Toshiba, and the Toshiba loaded the driver for the printer. I hoped that might resolve my problem, but it didn't. When I tried adding the printer, again, as a remote printer I got the same error message that it could not locate the INF file.
The "add printer" wizard did see the Canon printer on our LINUX computer. In fact when I added the printer as attached to the LINUX computer, I can print from the Toshiba. While this works, it is a poor solution as I am still not able to print directly to the remote printer.
As another experiment, I attempted to use the printer's install disk, this was rejected by the Toshiba since it was a 32 byte driver. I also downloaded from the Canon website the 64 byte driver, but again the add printer wizard said that there was a missing INF file.. So I still assume that I need to point to an INF file that is on the WindowsXP computer?
Any advise?

I found the solution here --->>>: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDetailTa bAct&fcategoryid=257&modelid=10439
I used the "Add Hardware" option under the control panel. I did not use the "add printer" option under printers
About half way down, you will see some graphics on using ports. This was the critical information to make things work.
For some reason, the printer ink status report will not work on the VISTA computer. It may have to do with VISTA security, but that will have to wait. The important point it now prints now!

Cannot connect Satellite A30 to WLan

Hi,
I have bought second hand Satellite A30 for young daughter - cannot get wireless hub connection.
Can anyone help please with requirements/upgrades necessary for this?
Man thanks and regards

As Jeffrey said, check if wireless lan device is listed in device manager.
But as far as I know the A30 was not equipped with such a module nor bluetooth.
This leads me to the conclusion that your notebook doesn't have a built in wlan module but you could buy some external devices like usb sticks.

HT1341 I have a new mac pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.1 but cannot connect to my Canon 6000B printer and can't find a driver download on the net - can anyone help on this?

I have a new mac powerbook pro OS X 10.8.1 and cannot connect to my canon 6000B printer - the printer appears in the printer list but will not install and I can't find a driver on the net - does anyone know what the solution is?

Thanks for getting back. I need help here
1 What do you mean by System Information? Is that System Preferences?
System Information is located in Applications > Utilities. It shows lots of information about your Mac, including information about the printer queues.
dino1335 wrote:
2 When I go to System Preferences and click on the printer LBP6000/LBP6018 there is no information in that window about the URI if I click Open Print Queue there is no information other than the ID of the printer
In previous versions of OS X you did see this information via the Options & Supplies pane for the selected printer in Print & Scan. But with 10.8 this information was removed so know you need to use System Information > Printers to see information about an installed printer.

3 If I print a document it just goes to print (it goes through the printer but no information is printed on the paper) there is no print cue so I don't know where to find the information on the URI or what I am supposed to copy
I believe that the document does not print because the print queue has not been created correctly. The CAPT driver requires a specific queue name and if the queue name is wrong then you will not be able to print.

FYI I also have a MacBook Pro (old) with Leopard which I also print to the same printer on and there isn't a problem with that just with this new MacPro which has Lion installed
Not surprised to read that. Mtn Lion has caused some issues for owners of CAPT printers, especially if they upgraded to 10.8 from 10.7 or 10.6.
Since you mention the ability to print on 10.5, I just want to check that you are physically moving the USB cable connected to the LBP from the 10.5 Mac to the 10.8 Mac, rather than sharing the printer from one Mac to the other. Because if you are sharing the printer from the 10.5 to the 10.8 Mac then this can be a cause of your current issue. The CAPT driver does not work when it is being shared to other Mac's.

Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and Cannot connect to Canon Imagrunner 3245i

I upgraded from OS X 10.7 to 10.9 and now I cannot connect to the networked Canon Imagerunner 3245i in my office. I've looked on Canon's website and can't find a new driver, website says there isn't one.
This happened before when I upgraded system software, but I've had this set up so long I can't remember what I did to make it work in the first place.
What should I do?

I didn't see a place to click on the page you linked to.
You have to check the box under Downloads so that a red Downloads link appears as shown below.
A couple of other things to note.
After you install the UFR2 v10.2.0 driver, to add the printer you must use IP > LPD for the protocol.
And the iR3245 does not support Bonjour so it will not appear in the Default view of the Add printer window. So you must enter the IP address of the iR3245.
Good luck and reply if you get stuck.

Satellite L300D PSLC0E - Cannot connect to TV

I have a problem with either my laptop or TV. I have a Toshiba Satellite L300D model number - pslc0e-017017en.
I'm trying to use a VGA wire to a Samsung TV but its not working.
I've try FN+F5 and nothing appears. Is this a common problem, do I need 2 install something?
Please help.

Hi
The question is what cable did you use and how did you connect it to the TV and if you have chosen the right channel on the TV!
As far as I know this notebook supports ONLY VGA (RGB) port. Using this port you can transmit only the analog video signal.
For example; you cannot connect VGA to DVI. This will not function!
If you want to connect the external monitor you will you have to use the VGA cable and should connect the both devices using a VGA cable.
By the way; its very important that you would use the Toshiba certified graphic driver!!!

Satellite Pro L300-1B9 cannot connect to my Wireless router

Hi!
I have activated the wireless nw on SAT L300 PRO 1B9 - but with many fight...
First I needed to find the switch to enable (I never though that it have... :-) ).
Then I needed to deinstall Atheros in Windows, and set the flags on (enable) in the Windows driver.
But in both Linux and Windows I couldn't connect to my Wireless router.
My luck was that some of my neightbours have security-disabled, open wireless network, what I could map to test.
The test was succecfully with that network, but my wireless router was unreachable.
From other machine I could reach it.
The result was:
If I set the router to broadcast the SSID, both OSs (Ubuntu + Windows) can use wireless network.
But if I disable the broadcasting (to protect my router), the network driver cannot use my router, it does not matter I pre-set the SSID...
A router is WRT54G, and it is working with other computers if I hide the SSID, but with SAT L300 Pro cannot connect (with this option).
Do anybody knows why? What I need to do to I could hide the SSID from the bad guys?
Thanks for any help!

I dont know which Windows OS do you use but if you use original Vista, I think, right WLAN driver is part of the package. So WLAN card must be installed properly.
It is not easy to say what is wrong there but if the notebook can see and detect your WLAN network on notebooks side everything must be OK. Try to restart your router and check all settings.
In my opinion there is some problem with WLAN settings.

Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and now cannot connect to Canoscan LIDE 90 Scanner. Cant find a new driver anywhere. Any ideas??

I have upgraded to OS X 10.9 and now I cannot connect to my Canoscan LIDE 90 Scanner. Cant find a new driver anywhere. Any ideas??

Like Dan White, I have found that I can still run the Lide 90 under Mavericks. As Dan says, the buttons on the front of the scanner don't work but I rarely if ever used them.
I have just tested the scanner using Acrobat Pro and it loads up the Scangear software to capture the scan, with no problems at all. I didn't have to reinstall anything as it was all there already and working in Mountain Lion. Photoshop CS 5.1 is different; it does not recognise the scanner, presumably because it can't find a TWAIN driver for it. Image Capture does not recognise the scanner either, but I don't have the latest (10.8) Canon MP Explorer and Explorer Opener software installed.

CANNON EOS 7D get message as "cannot connect with battery" What can i do to fix this problem?

when i turn on the camera and its trying to read the battery the message i get is " cannot connect with battery" i thought it was a defective battery and went out and bought a new one and still kept getting the same message. what can i do ? Does anybody been through this situation from what i hear this is common on the CANNON EOS 7D models only why is that?

Yes! It is a factory defect and Canon should recall 7D and 60D for this problem in stead to charge $230 for their own quality issue. I have 7D and not using it that often, it shows the same error message. Cleaning can not fix it at all! It was the soldering bad point at the battery and the little circuit board next to it, based on an engineer who repaired it by himself. Canon pro's: If you guys are cate about the Name of Canon then take these cameras back and fix them for free! Otherwise, the customers will switch to Nikon soon.

Cannot transfer videos taken from my Canon camera(MOV files) to the iPad 4. They have previous with no problems at all. Is this an update issue?

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

How can I use voicemail on my iphone 4s? Here it says "Cannot connect to voicemail". What should I do? I'm from philippines. Is there any code or something that I should do first?

How can I use voicemail on my iphone 4s? Here it says "Cannot connect to voicemail". What should I do? I'm from philippines. Is there any code or something that I should do first?

I think I worked out a solution given my equipment. I was looking around on other forums and I found the following post concerning the ability for iPhone 4S to be on 3G and wifi simultaneously.
"I know this thread is old and op may have discovered the answer already. However, I am posting this just in case someone else might be looking for a solution.
The solution does not require any additional software nor require a jailbreak.
All you need to accomplish this is already built into every iPhone and iPad with 3G.
Connect to your wifi and write down the IP address your router assigned you. Then, select static tab instead of DHCP and fill in the IP address your DHCP server assigned to your iPad. Next, fill in the subnet mask but leave the rest of the fields empty.
You now have access to your wifi as well as 3G.
I ran into this issue when I wanted to use live traffic using 3G for my iPad's GPS and still connect to my GoFlex Satellite using wifi. It works extremely well."
AFter configuring my phone to the router, as mentioned above, I connected my Apple TV to the same router. Using the mirroring option I was able to airplay Netflix, You Tube and Flixster flawlessly from my phone to the big screen. Direct TV and HBO GO did not work however.
I Then tried to access items directly from Apple TV thinking that it could use the data from my phone. I was wrong. So all in all I'm able to stream about half of my movie entertainment applications given my situation. I'm pleased.

Unable to connect Satellite C55-A to the WLAN

Hi I am unable to connect to my WLAN.
My router was zapped in the latest storms and talktalk sent me a replacement. Whilst setting it up I decided to change the ssid and the psk.
Every other device in our household (laptop, desktop and tablets) will connect to the new router but not my Satellite C55A. It can see the new ssid but when I enter the psk it gives the message "cannot connect to this network". I have win 8.1 wlan adapter is atheros ar956x, driver is 10.0.0.263.
Any suggestions?

It is really strange. Usually there should not be some problem. When the WLAN is detected all you must do is to put right password.
Have you checked all WLAN settings on your machine?
Is there some possibility to test it with other WLAN by your friend, just to see if the problem is the same?

Macbook Pro Cannot Connect to SMTP

I am running a 2010 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. I use Mac Mail app to send and receive e-mail. Since Thursday 27th Dec 2012 I have been unable to send e-mail. I get the grey spinning wheel until the following error message appears:
The SMTP connection to server “mail.(mydomain).co.uk” failed.
My outgoing mail server is currently showing as offline. In fact I have 2 e-mail accounts and both are showing as offline. No problem receiving mail. Connection doctor connects fine to incoming mail, but not outgoing.
I have tried the following (plus other things) without any success:
Checked all the details, passwords etc
Changed ports from 25 to 465 and 587
Checked my IP address - it is not blacklisted
Removed and re-added e-mail account
Telnet port 25 - it is not blocked, but appeared to successfully connect (from what I understood from checking www)
Temporarily disabled firewall
Re-installed Mac app
Rebuilt mailbox
Repaired disk permissions
Used the repair disk utility
Deselected SSL and changed various options within "Edit SMTP server list"
Reset the keychain
Tried updating software but it says no update available.
Re-instated an old Accounts.plist (and one other file which I forget, something like com.apple.mail) from time capsule.
I then set up a hotmail account on Mail app but had exactly the same problem, ie cannot connect with SMTP server.
However, I set up my e-mail account on my wife's iPad with the same details and there was no problem at all, e-mail sent just fine as it does from my iPhone. So the issue has to be with my Macbook, right? Can anyone help before I go and spent £1250 on a new Macbook? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app. I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send. I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success. Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem. As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work. So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
