Cannot print to Canon ipf6200 - won't recognize printer

installed a new print head last week, ran calibration (10 sheets of paper), then printed an image (24" 6200 large format printer)
I never turn the printer off
attempted to print as usual today, nothing - won't recognize the printer
spent 2 hrs on phone with canon - tried everything - they think it's an OS problem

well, thanks for your effort
back online with canon (2+ hrs), loaded plug for the umpteenth time & BINGO!
it's working again
it's black magic or voodoo or whatever

Reader 9 won't recognize printer

I just installed Reader 9 on my system (Vista Home Premium), and now I can't print anything because Reader won't recognize my printer. I get this error message whenever I try to print:
Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you must first install a printer.
I did not get this kind of behavior from Reader 8, so I must assume there's a major error or bug in the code that's causing this. My printer (an Epson Stylus CX4800) is properly installed and works for all other apps but this one. Has anybody else experienced this on their systems?
I'm using Reader 9.0.0 for Windows Vista with Vista Home Premium (SP1).

No good. Did a nozzle check and head cleaning through printer properties while in Reader, and it still refuses to recognize the printer. Not only that, but for some reason it defaults to XPS Document Writer as the main print option at startup, and I can't change that to stay with the Epson instead. This is very puzzling and rather annoying, since I'm now without a print capability until they decide to do a bugfix update.

My ipod does not recognize touch all of a sudden. It is on, but I cannot use it because it won't recognize my touch! Help please!

My ipod does not recognize touch all of a sudden. It is on, but I cannot use it because it won't recognize my touch! Help please!

-You stated: " It is on, but I cannot use it "
Does this mean that the iPod works fine but when you connect the iPod to your computer iTunes does not see - your iPod?
- Have you tried:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
- If you really have OSX 10.6.x (not 10.5.8 as stated) try:
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
- Have you tried another cable and USB port?
- If the iPod is not working then there are other things to try.

Cannot print to canon MP160, dialog box says printer off line, but it is on line, OK printing with IE

I just installed the Canon MP160 printer. I downloaded the driver software from Canon version 12.1.4.0.(2/8/2008). I can print documents fine from Internet Explorer. When I go to print from Firefox the printer dialog box says the printer is "off line" and I get printer queue error messages. I can also print OK from windows. I have a PC 32 bit with Windows Vista.

I think your issue is that even though you have the latest 10.2.0 driver for 10.9, you added the printer using the previous v2.43 PPD. So open Print & Scan, remove the current printer for the iRC3380 and click the plus button to add again. After selecting IP > LPD and entering the IP address, ensure you select "Canon iR C2880/C3380" in the Use menu. Note that there is no mention of UFRII in the model name, as is the case with the previous UFR2 v2.43 driver.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did that this morning (see Step 1) and deleted the existing printer before re-adding a new printer and using the newly updated driver and printer description. Here's what I get:
You can see my model number is listed in there as is the the proprietary Canon UFRII language.
Once added, here's what happens next:
So it would appear, at this point, that the printer is installed and communicating and that I should be good to print.
Alas, I get the same error message I've been getting. back to square one.

Printing to Canon ImageRUNNER 3200 network color printer

Hi folks,
I'm the lone Mac user working in a corporate Windows environment. I've succesfully been able to use IP addresses to print to various HP printers, but I'm so far unable to print to the aforementioned Canon ImageRUNNER 3200 color laser printer. I downloaded Canon's driver for Mac OS 10.1/10.2/10.3/10.4 and tried adding it to the printer center as an IP printer but it won't print. Then I tried adding it using Canon's IP printer utility (I saw it in the pull down menu from the print center) and that doesn't work either. It seems to see the printer on the network, but just won't print. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was doing some Googling and saw the device Queue Name for ImageRunners is "print." Try entering that in Printer Setup.

IMac won't recognize printer but powermac will

I have been using a canon 1860 printer for a long time with no problems. Today my electricity went off. I shut down and then restarted plugged into an extension cord, so the printer was not on or connected. When the power came back on and I plugged everything back in, the printer had (virtually) disappeared.
When I connect it to my Powermac it works fine and I can use it with the iMac via the network, but I am worried that the iMac's inability to recognize the printer suddenly is an indication of a more serious problem.
I repaired permissions and downloaded a fresh copy of the driver but that did nothing.

Unbelievable. The antenna wasn't plugged in all the way on the Airport card. And to think I spent about 3 hours trying to resolve this. Well, thanks for your post, otherwise I'd still be screwing around. And lesson learned.

AirPlay won't recognize printer and print although HPprint app does

My iPad will not print from AirPlay and shows no printer on my wifi network from AirPlay. However, I can print from my HPprint app and the app recognizes my printer on my wifi network. Any suggestions to get AirPlay to recognize the printer and print?

HP Photosmart C4795.
Maybe not on the approved list even though the app recognizes it?

CANON XSi Won't Recognize Any SD Cards

I ordered a used Canon XSi off of Amazon and got it today. Immediately after opening it, I put a 4gb SDHC in it and I got the message that there wasn't a card. After that, I tried every SD card in my house, including a class 10 card. I formatted them, and reset the camera, but nothing is helping. What could possibly be wrong? I realize that it is a risk buying such an expensive used item, but do I just send it back or should I look for professional help? I don't know what to do, and I am very disappointed.

The problem is not with your printer but with CUPS. I had the same problem with an upgrade that was done. It worked before but did not work after the upgrade in CUPS. I guess others are having problems as well as you can see in the link posted.

MacBook Pro won't recognize Canon MP800, even after reloading print drivers

Time Warner Cable updated servers. We had to update the DNS address for the MacBook Pro to maintain internet access. After doing this MacBook Pro doesn't recognize the Canon MP800 printer - shows no print drivers for Canon IJ Network , even after reinstalling printer software and downloading print drivers from Canon website - MPNavigator 2.0 keeps saying print driver has not installed. The MacBook is wirelessly networked with the printer and an EMac. We haven't updated the DNS address for the EMac because it still recognizes the printer and prints; however, we now don't have internet access with EMac as a result.

If printing wirelessly check your printer sharing settings - System Preferences/Sharing
If printer is connected directly to your computer, check your printer connections, read the troubleshooting section in your printer manual and check the printer manufacturer website for drivers you may need to update.

Airport Utility cannot find my Airport. It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months. The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

How can I get Airport Utility to find my Airport? It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months. The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

Are you using the latest version (5.5.2) of the AirPort Utility to access the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)? Your tagline has it that you are running OS X 10.4.6. You would need at least 10.5.7 to run the utility. I assume that you are running the latest utility on another device ... correct?
When having difficulties accessing the AirPort thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the AirPort wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
o Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
o Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.

Cannot add a Canon Network printer to iMac (Intel) OS 10.8.3

I have never been able to connect this mac to the networked printer(Canon ImageRunner Advanced C5045). The printer is detected as a printer nearby connecting through bonjour, but it won't print with the updated drivers, it wont print with generic drivers. I've added it by IP address, by advanced settings with IP address, When I use the canon drivers, it gives me a driver error -50. When I use the generic drivers it says its connecting and says it sent the prints, but nothing comes out of the printer. I'm kind of at a loss. Any suggestions? Please?

been sitting here non stop for two days trying to make it work.
Under Adding it by default:
Ive used the canon driver UFR II (both US and UK) 2.43 which is supposed to work with 10.8. This leads to an error "Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information." Ive used the generic PostScript printer driver and the generic PCL printer driver. These say they have printed - but nothing comes out of the printer.
Under adding it by IP
Ive used IPP with canon drivers/generic drivers (canon drivers error -50 - generic drivers say they have printed but nothing comes out) Ive used Jet Direct with canon/generic drivers (no results) Ive used LPD with canon/generic drivers (no results)
Under adding it by windows
I've found what I believe to be the printer, but it asks me to log into the printer with a user name and password - I dont have either and didnt need any such thing to set it up on the windows machine right next to it.
Under adding it by advanced
under canon CUPS BDL - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct IP - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct USB - got error 50 and Printer is not responding.Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again.
under canon UFR - got error 50
under IPP - got couldnt connect would you like to continue - yes - says printed - no results
under IPP (http) got error -50
under IPP (https) - got error 50
under IPP (ipps) got error 50
under Jet direct - got no results
under LPD/LPR - got no results
under windows with spoolss - got log into printer with user name and password - followed by error -50

Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize Canon Lide 200 Scanner

My recently installed Acrobat 9 Standard won't recognize my Canon Lide 200 scanner even though Adobe Photoshop CS2 does. I don't know what the problem is and how to solve it.

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was recently installed on new Vista 64bit computer and functions with all programs and even prints to my Dell 1600n printer, but when I try to scan from the printer, it causes this error message and shuts Acrobat down:
"ADOBE ACROBAT HAS STOPED WORKING A Problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
I have lived with this since I bought the computer a month ago. Still no solution from Adobe and no response to an email that I sent to adobe support.

Airport Express won't recognize TSC printer

We are having a really weird issue with a new 802.11n Airport Express. It refuses to recognize a specific USB printer attached to it (TSC TTP-245c label printer, to be precise). By "refuses to recognize" I mean the printer does not show up in the Printers dialog within the Airport Utility (5.6 in this case... don't even get me started on 6.0, which doesn't even HAVE a printer dialog anymore) and attempting to send print jobs to it fail.
Anyway, the really bizarre thing is that the Airport Express DOES see other USB printers we connect to it, and the TSC printer DOES work fine on other USB print servers, or from a notebook PC via USB, etc... even an OLD g-only Airport Express can see the TSC printer just fine. It's ONLY the specific combination of a NEW Airport Express and the TSC-245C printer that doesn't work.
I'm sure I'll get replies asking me to update a driver, update firmware, etc. So let me save you the trouble... this has absolutely nothing to do with drivers as the print server (Airport Express) itself cannot see the physical printer attached to itself, and the Airport is already running 7.6.1 (though I did try and revert back to 7.5 to see if it made any difference, and it did not). I also verified that the TSC printer is running the latest firmware available for it.
So what do you do when you have two devices that are working fine independently with OTHER devices, but won't work with EACH OTHER? Is there any way to get this information to Apple so they can investigate why their new device is having trouble with this one particular printer model? I've already started the process of telling TSC that they need to obtain a new Airport Express to see if they can figure out what's wrong, but it could very well be a problem on Apple's side... after all, their OLD Airport works against this printer just fine.
All that said, I'm not expecting to get any magical fix from these forums... I'm mainly trying to find out how this can get "run up the flagpole" at Apple so they can perhaps investigate. Is anyone aware of similar problems with OTHER brands of printers? Again, the symptom is simple: Connect a USB printer to the new AirPort Express and it just isn't seen by the Airport.
Any advice appreciated!

I don't think all printers will work.
Have you read this Apple article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1253
Still not working?
If your printer still doesn't work with AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule printer sharing but does work when directly connected to your Mac, contact the printer manufacturer for additional information.
As the article states above, you would have to contact the printer manufacturer.
Apple has no control of third party vendors.

Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type while importing from Canon 5d Mark iii

Anyone mind helping me trouble shoot why my Lightroom (4.3) won't recognize the file type of my Canon 5D Mark iii ?
I have seen this in a couple other threads but none of those suggestions worked for me. I am also a Mac user.

Bomal9 wrote:
I have Lightroom 4.3 and a Mark iii and cannot import raw files into Lightroom.
The above contradicts with this:
Bomal9 wrote:
I am downloading images through the Canon EOS Utility manager and have to import the photos in a folder into Lightroom.
So my reading of that is that you ARE importing Raw files from the 5D3 into Lightroom, but having to use a roundabout route to do so. Is that correct? If so, how are you trying to import when you "cannot import raw files into Lightroom", are you using a card reader or direct camera attachment? Have you tried both methods? And what happens when you do try?
