Cannot print from Canon iRC2380i network printer, Help??

I am trying to connect to our office network printer.
When I search for the printer my Macbook Pro can find it and when I key in the IP address it connects successfully and chooses the Generic PostScript Printer as the driver.
However when I try and print it just prints a page with one line of random encrypted text and then many blank pages.
I'm not sure how to fix this.
Running OS X 10.6.8
Please help!

The box said windows xp or better... So I installed Linux!

  • Problem printing from Canon Selphy photo printer (CP800)

    I have a Canon Selphy CP800 which was working perfectly with my Mac up until i upgraded the latter to Yosemite 10.10.2. Checked the printer settings and it doesn't offer a "postcard size" option under the Paper Size tab anymore.
    Have uninstalled and installed the driver from Canon Support but still doesn't work. Anyone else experienced this before? How did you get this resolved?

  • Duplicate copies printing from Kyocera Mita Network printer

    I'm trying to print to a Kyocera Mita FS-9500DN printer across a network. I successfully installed the drivers and was able to connect to it.
    The good news is that it prints. The bad news is that it prints THREE copies of everything sent to it. If I specify two copies, it will only print two. But I can't specify only one, and it won't print one by default.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Several months ago there was some Xerox users with a similar problem. However, regardless of the number of copies they entered, they always got multiples. I cannot remember if it was resolved.
    Anyway, this sounds like a driver issue. You could test this theory by opening the Terminal application and submitting a text file via lp. For example, create a simple text file using TextEdit. Then save it with a filename of test in your documents folder. Then open Terminal (located in Applications > Utilities). Change the directory to your Documents folder (cd Documents). Then type lp test (or test.rtf if it was saved with the extension) and press the Enter key. If the Mita is the default printer the machine should start up and you should only get one copy. If this does happen, then you know it's a driver issue so you can contact your Mita support and see if they have a fix.

  • Cannot see  Canon MP620 installed printer and Canon IJ Network

    I try to install my new printer Canon MP620 on my iMac G5 (10.4.11).
    The installation procedure seems ok according the documentation.
    When I want to use the printer the "Canon IJ Network" is not available. This option should be present when I click on "More Printers" in the "Printer Browser" (others protocol like AppleTalk are listed).
    The Canon MP620 driver is not visible in the driver list.
    The printer can be use by other computers (XP, Vista) and is available on my LAN . I can see the printer with the "Canon Network tool" and the network scan function works fine.
    I reinstalled, download the last version from Canon web site, repaired authorizations, ... without success.
    Any idea and help are welcomed !

    The printer is connected with a RJ45 cable 100 MBytes. I can ping it from the mac, the http service of the printer is reachable ... thus I guess this is not a network problem.

  • Frustrated trying to print from Canon Pixma 9500

    Does anyone have any tips for printing from Canon Pixma 9500?
    I profiled the screen, printer and paper using colormunki.
    Trying to print from photoshop. Frustrated that the printer interface isn't as described in many online forums (for example, it seems impossible to turn off colour management).
    Getting strange blue borders around everything when using the paper profiles via colormunki.
    Does anyone have any good tips?
    .......help.....!

    I used colormunki to calibrate my screen, printer and to make a paper profile.
    Read one site that suggested the strange blue borders are related to V4 vs V2 paper profiles...whatever that means. Apparently it is an issue printing from photoshop.

  • I have a new Macbook Pro and an old Canon ip Pixma 8500. I have downloaded the software from Canon but my printer settings will still not register it. Looks like I can print a colour calendar but not a letter!

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • After upgrading to Maverick I can print from Canon IR5050. Downloaded new driver from Canon site with no luck.

    I can not print from Canon IR5050 after installing Maverick. I downloaded new driver from Canon with no luck.

    I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

  • I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer.  When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled?  Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

    I am trying to print from iphoto to my printer.  When I click print on under File tab it says that a theme cannot be found and that a theme needs to be intalled?  Why is this window popping up and how I install a "theme" on iphoto?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Printing from iPad - Why do I need third party app to print to a local network printer??

    Why do I need to pay for a third party app to print to ALL local network printer?? I understand that only some printers are compatable with iPads, but yet application like "iCanPrint" allow me to print just fine to a printer connected to my network. Why can't Apple include this as one of its features? Technology is apparently there?

    For that, and the many other apps to work, you need to be running a pc or Mac on the network.  The answer is drivers.  Every printer in the world needs a driver.  There simply is not enough space on a pad to load every possible printer driver that might be in play.  in the pc world, the operating system comes preloaded with hundreds of common drivers, and when you buy and install a new printer, you download the new drivers for that new printer.
    That all just will not work on a pad or phone.  So apple flipped the issue upside down, and said...'here is the printer driver we will make standard for its devices.  We call it AirPrint.  Include this in your printer'.    A lot of manufacturers have, and more printers are enabled each month.   
    So your choice is pretty basic.  You can buy an AirPrint enabled printer and print directly to it, or buy a non AirPrint printer, or use the one you have, and rely on your pc to act as the translation device to manage the print job.

  • Printing to a Windows Network printer after 10.4.9 upgrade

    Very desperate with this. We have a couple macs at the office and after a move and some software updates all cannot print via a Windows network printer.
    Unable to connect to SAMBA host is the only error we receive.
    I checked my smb:\\ syntax, I have tried IP address, tried picking from the list (which by the way the printers do show up yet you cannot print to them)
    Extremely frustrating and with an Anti-Mac IT director this gives him more ammo to say Macs are irrelavant in the workplace.
    The Macs are bound to Windows Active Directory and the users are Active Directory users. We do not have a Mac OS X server. Our printer server is Windows 2003 SP1, the printers range from an HP LaserJet 4100 to a Xerox WorkCentre 24, all do not work.
    The ONLY network printer that appears to work is the printer associated during the login
    Curious if anyone with 10.4.7 and higher have problems....

  • How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers

    How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers? Windows versions on computers used are  XP,Vista & 7.
    Thanks
    Leon

    Unplug the USB cable from the printer.  Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
    Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.  Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
    I am employed by HP
