Canon C2550 no longer allows Macbook to print...

Hello everybody!
I recently moved to a new office and began printing to our Cannon ir C2550. I did the basic install when I arrived and all was good (except for the machine being old and cranky.) However, out of the blue this week my computer has stopped printing to the machine all together. I don't get any error codes or anything. I send a job to the printer and nothing happens. In the Print progress screen it just says "Printing - Connected to Printer." Regardless of how long I leave it nothing happens. Does anybody have any idea of what it could be?

To add the iR C2550 to your Mac, you would have entered its IP address. If you still know that IP address, then open a web browser and enter that as the URL. This action should result in you connecting to the internal web page of the Canon. If this does not occur, then along the lines of what Greg is saying, your Mac's IP address may have changed and this will stop you from printing. So compare what IP address and subnet mask is set in your Mac to the copier. Typically the first three sets of numbers in an IPv4 address should be the same, while the last number is your network address and should be different.

New network no longer allow me to print/scan wirelessly

Hi, I had a new Apple nework created, updating an old Airport with a new one. Printing and Scanning no longer work with my Officejet 6600, even though I have re-set up the All in one and sucessfully with the network name (actually, same name just different airport).
I am able to print using USB but I cannot scan.
I am happy to be able to do it all with USB, if I cannot figure out the wireless issues.
Thank you,

Hi,
You can try downloading and run HP Print and Scan Dr utility from link below to troubleshoot the issue.

Iphoto 7 no longer allows me to print christmas cards

I'm trying to print christmas cards, like I have for years, but now iphoto 7 is no longer supported, when i try to upgrade iphoto, it tells me i also need to upgrade my operating system (OSX 10.6.8)... really? do I need a whole new "computer" to print these cards? Also, why can't I talk to a tech person from apple and have to use this support group instead?...

Look at the bottom of this page
Shop the Apple Online Store (1-800-MY-APPLE), visit an Apple Retail Store, or find a reseller.

or any of a thousand other places
I find no phone number to call for apple support and when I tried to have them call me
And this makes no sense at all - there is no phone number and when you call the phone number (that you can not see) they tell you that you are not eligible ??????????????

HP Envy 120 All in One Printer no longer recognises MacBook Air

Since upgrading to Yosemite, my HP Envy 120 no longer recognises my Macbook Air and vice versa via the router, having worked previously (not perfectly all the time admittedly but connection wasn't an issue). I can connect Macbook to printer via HP direct, but this means disconnecting from the internet, scanning, then re-connecting to internet which is a bit of a faff and seems a backwards move.
I have downloaded the latest HP printer driver software, followed all suggestions I can find on this such as deleting the printer on the Macbook under system preferences, but when I try to add it back on, nothing shows. I've tried adding the IP address manually, this comes up with an error message. I've done the wireless wizard on the printer and that was successful so it is connected to the router but is not detecting my computer, which is also connected to the same router.
The printer is still under warranty - I meant to take it back when I had earlier problems but decided to stick with it a bit longer. I'm just trying to work out - is it a HP problem or is it an Apple problem - ie can I return the printer under the warranty?
Or does anyone have any simple fixes? I'm not at all computer literate!
Many thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi,
As you mention that you do able to use the printer with no issues by using HP Wireless Direct, that means that this is neither HP or Apple issue but a network connectivity issue.
Apple devices uses Bonjour to communicate with the printer, that relies on IP Muticasting which need to be supported by your router.
If I clearly understood your description and the device do work as expected using HP Wireless Direct, the router is the cause for this issue as you do not see similar issues while removing the oruter from that acquisition... please also let me know if i have misunderstood your intention about the issue.
Additionally, have you tried rebooting your router by unplugging its power for 10-20 seconds? once it starts up reboot both the printer and then Mac and check for any difference..
Please try that and check if that help. if the issue persists do let me know your router brand and model, its settings or capabilities may cause a such and may prevet this kind of connectivity.

My Time Capsule expired and no longer works. My printer (a HP) will now not work as it still wishes to connect through the Time Capsule. It will not allow itself be recognised through a USB connection to my Mac. Anyone got any ideas?

You will need to install the printer on your Mac
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Print & Fax
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Wait for your printer to appear in the next box, then click it to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Be sure to select the correct printer when you try to print as you will see your printer listed twice. Good idea to make the printer now installed on your Mac the default printer so you do not have to choose which printer to use each time you want to print.
You can also go into Print & Fax, select the printer associated with the Time Capsule and click the - (minus) button if you want to delete that location.

I cannot get my MacBook Pro to print greyscale on my Canon MG6450. I cannot access the printer driver panel on the Macbook. So I am stuck printing everything in colour and cannot specify which pages I want printed.

Try resetting the printing system:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Next try deleting the system and reinstall the printer..

Is it true that Macbook Air is no longer allowed on planes?

Is it true that Macbook Air is no longer allowed on planes?

The story you likely read was about a hack into Macbook Pro batteries that could theoretically be used to make one explode.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2011/07/22/apple-laptops-vulnerable-to -hack-that-kills-or-corrupts-batteries/
The hack requires physical access or a theoretical malware attack. The researcher did not attempt to explode a battery and these batteries are designed to "blow a fuse" in the unlikely event of quick discharge so the likelihood of it exploding, even if you tried to do it, is extremely small.
Unfortunately, our news media likes splashy headlines not the truth. "Hacker can make MacBook batteries shut down" is nowhere near as exciting as "Simple Hack Causes MacBook Batteries to Explode"

Have you launched and tired Image Capture? When it's launched with the iPad connected the photos will display in the window. Select those you want to upload and use the Import to: menu and select Other. Navigate to the Desktop and select the folder you created to hold those photos.

Why does it take so long for my wireless printer to start printing from my MacBook?

Why does it take so long for my wireless printer (HP Photosmart C4700) to start printing from my MacBook?
It seems to take about 3 minutes to spool up printing from any program on my MacBook, but it will start instantly with my iPhone.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Macbook Air: connecting Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer

I purchased my Macbook Air a few months ago, and I selected theCanon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to go along with it. I have tried to install the printer a few times in various ways. Initially, I used my Macbook Air superdrive to attempt to load my new printer with the included disk. However, installation requires that the printer be connected to the Macbook via USB. Since the superdrive was occupying my only USB, I tried to connect my printer wirelessly with another computer. The laptop I used was not a Mac, and I simply could not get his computer to recognize the disk for my Macbook. So I tried something else; I borrowed my school libraries USB splitter in a last attempt to connect them both to my Macbook Air at the same time. However the superdrive does not react when not directly connected to the computer...
In short, I cannot find a way to connect my Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to my Macbook Air.
Help?

Connect the SuperDrive to the computer, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create an image of the installation disk, disconnect the SuperDrive, plug in the printer, and install the software from the image.

Airport time capsule won't allow me to print over wifi

I just bought an airport time capsule 2TB. I set it up and almost everything works great. I have a printer that is not wireless. It's a brother 7065DN. I was told by an apple employee that if I plug the printer into the airport time capsule it will allow me to print wirelessly from my macbook pro. However, this does not work. I'm not that big into technology but if anyone knows how I can fix this please let me know. It would be nice not to have to plug my laptop in all the time to print a short

You do it the same way you did when you installed the printer on your Mac.
Connect the printer to the USB port on the Time Capsule
Power up the printer
Click System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Click Print & Fax
Click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the printer list
Hopefully, your printer will appear.... IF......it is compatible with the TIme Capsule
Click on the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add
Now try to print. When you open the Print dialog box, it will appear as if you have two printers installed......because you do. One is installed on the Mac. The other is installed on the Time Capsule
You must choose the correct printer at the Time Capsule to be able to send the print command to the printer at the Time Capsule.

I'm looking for an app that allows me to print checks. Beancounter does not

I"m looking for an app for MacBook Pro that allows me to print checks for my very small business.
I purchased Beancounter Por (the upgraded version) and it does a fine job of accounting and updateing
balance sheets but it does not support printing checks. Does anyone know of an app that
does?

You and the iPad can function with the Remote App from across the room, or in another room.
However, your stereo system has to have a way to communicate or connect with the computer. Unless it has some kind of wifi connector or has Bluetooth, I don't see how you can do this.
There is no app or software to resolve this. You need a way for the stereo to connect.

Sharing Canon LBP7010C no longer works in Mavericks

I've noticed there's plenty of troubles with network printing in Mavericks. Here's mine:
I have an MacBook Air 2012 and a new iMac, with Canon LBP7010C connected to it. Both computers have the most recent (10.9 compatible) drivers installed and can print via USB. The printer, shared by the iMac, shows up in the printer settigns and everything seems OK.
However, when I try to print from the MacBook Air, the job starts, goes on for a while and then the entire printing queue simply pauses. The printer doesn't even wake up and the job doesn't appear in the Canon's monitor on the iMac, so I assume MacBook has troubles connecting to the iMac and the printer to begin with.
I should add that sharing the printer worked properly under 10.8.
I've tried reinstalling the drivers, removing the printer and adding it again and other typical troubleshooting steps, but to no avail. Is there anything else I could try? Anyone has any luck sharing this type of printer over local network?
Thanks in advance.

Follow up:
1. Selecting Generic PS printer works. Thanks for this suggestion. I cannot set any of the printer-specific settings, but I can print over Wi-Fi when I need it. That's something.
2. In Japan printer servers made by Silex (C-6600GB and a others) are officially recommended by Canon and listed on their page as compatible with their printers. If I understand correctly (I'm not a specialist), Canon printers require two-way communication between computer and the printer (as the page is being rendered by the computer rather than the printer, compressed and then send to the device) and most generic print servers do not support that functionality.
Unfortunately that means Silex' print servers require special software of its own to connect with a Mac. This software won't install on 10.9 and may be incompatible with Maverics to begin with (it includes a kernel extension). It also isn't clear if the serwer would work with LBP7010c at all, even though it does support this model of the printer on Windows (documentation on the Silex' site is outdated and lists LBP7010C as lacking any Mac driver support from Canon, which isn't true).
This is, coincidentally, the reason why these Canon printers won't work with the Airport base stations either.
3. Canon is forcing some sort of proprietary printing technology (CAPT) rather than go with standard solutions. Too bad I've learned too late about the related inconvenience. The drivers have worked properly with my 10.8 Macs and only now in 10.9 the fact basic OS X features (printer sharing) are unsuported has come to my attention. I'm waiting for the support to reply right now, but I'm not particualrly impressed by Canon right now and would probably advice against buying their products for Mac.

My iPad is no longer communicating with my printer

My iPad is no longer communicating with my printer. I get a message that it is contacting printer and then eventually it tells me that my printer is off line but it's not.

First, follow these steps:
Turn off internet modem (DSL)
Turn off wireless router
Turn off printer
Turn off iPad
WAIT THREE MINUTES BEFORE TURNING THEM ON
Turn on previous items in the EXACT order they were turned off
Allow Third Party Access
After the rebooting, go into your computer or printer's network connection, and make sure that third party devices have permission to have access to the printer.
If you're having problems after that, I deduct that the problem is not with the iPad, but with the printer itself.
Is the printer connected to Wi-Fi? Or, is the printer directly linked to your wireless router?
In the event that the printer IS connected to Wi-Fi, either refer to the user's manual that came with it, contact customer service, or let me know below!
In the event that the printer IS NOT connected to Wi-Fi but to a wireless router, resort to the following steps:
Check the (ethrnet) cable linking your printer and wireless router for any damage.
Make sure the ethernet cable is connected.
Check the wireless router's lights. The cable that was plugged in should have a matching light that turns on and off when plugged in, and removed.
If the light is off, try plugging the ethernet cable into a different port. Repeat this step until a light turns on.
If none of the port lights turn on, your wireless router is the problem.
If the port light does turn on, a connection between the printer and router is established.
Try to connect your device and the printer again.
After following these steps, and it's still not working, post another comment and let me know! My life is now dedicated to helping you get your iPad and printer connected!

Security set to allow high resolution printing but pdf won't print

We create a large number of pdf files to send out to
clients, etc. We have been using security on all pdf's being sent out, however, some clients are having issues printing these pdf files even though our security settings are set to allow high resolution printing. Any one have any ideas why? I cannot duplicate the issue for whatever reason, the files still print for me.

I discover I am suddenly having a similar problem as well.
I have recently migrated to a new Intel iMac/Leopard, I'm on a network and trying to print to a Tektronix/Xerox 7700 laser printer. I can print anything other kind of document on that printer as long as it is not a PDF.
When I open the printer window it says the job has been stopped. I choose the job and tell it to "resume" at which point the printer pauses itself. Once it flashed a window that said Operation Not Possible - client-error-something-something and then closed before I could see what the last two words were.
I am currently using Adobe Reader 6.0. I would love to be able to try to print out of 7.0 but there seem to be continual download problems in the form of constant connection failures. I also have Acrobat 6.0 STD - can't print out of either one.
