Canon i250 hooked up to XP box won't print.

I tried setting up a canon i250 which is hooked up to a windows pc on my network, and although mac recognises it, and installs it, the printer doesn't print. I think its because this printer uses its own progress software to monitor how much printing is left and ink etc.
But none of the drivers that come with tiger work with it. I also tried using the printer drivers that came with the printer for OSX, but its not added to the list of available printer drivers.
Any help would be appreciated.

Printing via network requires either a postscript printer (using the postscript driver on Windows, too) or a CUPS driver for a non-postscript printer. Brother is the only manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. There is no free CUPS driver for your printer. The driver from www.printfab.net will work, and costs $60.
Good luck.

  • Firefox won't print 'highlights' made by a marking tool on a form. I have enabled 'Print backgrounds' options and the yellow image overlays print fine in other browsers. Is this a setting within windows 7?

    I am trying to print a document through Firefox. We have a Form view / marking tool to make these image overlays to make highlighted boxes on the document.

  • Canon imagerunner C3200 problem - won't print

    Hi to all,
    I have searched this forum and not found this error/solution.
    We just switched from PC to Mac and of course all is heaven! Except one tiny issue - going crazy.
    We have installed the printer driver from Canon for all of our imagerunner printers (IR400, IR600 - they are going fine). However, the IRC3200's (we have 2) are NOT printing that well from the Mac.
    Whenever we try to print a PDF file to the IRC3200 it just hangs - it won't print - and if by some chance it does, it prints so slow like one page per hour.
    We have read and tried as much as we can and we are just stuck. If anyone here has experience or advice I would appreciate greatly for how to print!

    Hello Judy and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There are two printer board options for the iRC3200. There is the internal Canon board and the external imagePASS-C1 (Fiery). The Fiery would be a white metal box on the back of the machine.
    If you do have a Fiery but were using the Canon board PPD, then this could explain the problem.
    The other thing to note is that if you have the Fiery, the driver would need to be the latest Universal Binary (MacTel). Having looked to the Canon USA web site previously they do not make it obvious as to which driver you need.
    So if you could reply about the iRC3200 having the internal board or the Fiery, then I can provide more accurate replies.
    Just one last thing. In our region the iR400 and iR600 came standard with the internal Fiery printer board - there was no Canon board options. As there has been no driver released for these models for Snow Leopard, then can you confirm that you are using Generic Postscript to print to these two models.
    And you also using the same driver to print to the iRC3200?

  • Illustrator cc2014 open dialog box won't work yosemite

    I have a Macbook Pro Retina 2014 with a fresh install of Yosemite and Creative Cloud, after a while, when I used the open dialog box for 4 or 5 times to open documents, that dialog box won't work anymore, I have to quit and reopen the Illustrator application, the shortcut won't work either. Is anybody got that problem before?
    When I was on Mountain Lion, I never got this problem, I presume it's related to Yosemite.

    Gelouis,
    I believe it is a bug in CC2014, appearing when you have the Illustrator open/place dialogue set to column view and sort by date or sort by kind. You may change it to view by name or list view.

    Or you may get it right by changing the sort to something else.

  • I can't connect my canon mp160 to my new apple iMac desktop. It just won't print although it comes up as the printer. there is no driver for this from canon who states that I probably don't need a driver for this

    I can't connect my canon xp160 to my new IMAC. It does recognize it but won't print. there is no driver for this as per Canon and they state that I may not need one. thanks!1

    If you want to print, then you will need a printer driver. There is no printer driver available from Apple for the MP160. And the last driver that Canon released for this model was for OS X 10.7. You may be able to install this 10.7 driver, although it is not digitally signed so Gatekeeper will block the installation. To get past Gatekeeper, you can hold down the Control key and click on the installer. A pop-up menu will appear. Select Open. You will then be given the option to install the old driver.
    With the driver installed, add the printer via Printers & Scanners and see if you can print.

  • Canon MF4150 - won't print, despite fresh drivers

    So I'm trying to help set up a relative's new iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I've downloaded V2.24 of the relevant Canon driver for his ImageClass MF4150 printer, and when I set everything up and go to print, I get this:
    "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, if the print dialog box has a [Printer Info] button acquire the printer information.: 10322"
    Very frustrating.  Anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance ...
    I did search and it seems like many have had the same problem, but none of the fixes proposed have seemed to work for us.

    As sig has suggested, the connection from the Mac to the Canon MF4150 is important. The Canon UFR2 driver only supports a direct USB connection from the Mac to the printer. You cannot have the printer connected to a print server, router or a Windows computer.
    If you do have the MF4150 connected directly to the Mac via USB then the USB cable could be the cause of the error. As the error message suggests, you can open a document and select to print. From the print dialog, change the menu to Special Features and press the Printer Info button. This will open the Printer Information window and if the connection is good then you should see an image of the printer. If the connection has a problem then an error message will appear stating that it could not acquire information from the printer.

  • I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

    I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
    I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

  • I have a canon pixma mx360 all in one printer and it won't print

    I cleared the que and it still won't print. can you please help me figure this out? my printer is a pixma canon mx360 all in one

    Hi wendasa,
    If you have any antivirus or firewall programs on your computer, please temporarily disable them and then try to scan again.  Sometimes these programs can block the scanning process of the printer.  If you are still unable to scan, we can try scanning using the Microsoft Paint program to see if the scanner function of the printer is working.  To attempt to scan using Microsoft Paint, please follow these steps:
    1.  Launch Windows Paint by pressing the Windows Key+ R, then typing mspaint, then clicking OK.
    2.  Once inside of Paint, in the upper left corner you will see a blue square; please click on that and select FROM SCANNER OR CAMERA.  A window will appear asking you what device you want to use.  Please select the PIXMA MX360, then press the OK button.
    3.  In the next window, you should have the option of selecting a document type; please select one, then press the SCAN button in the window.
    Are you able to scan using Microsoft Paint?
    If this is a time-sensitive matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

  • Print Dialog Box won't Open

    My husband has an Intel Mac Mini that has issues. He can't open the print dialog box from any application--Mail, Firefox, Quickbooks, Word, etc. He can't print anything at all because the dialog box won't open when selecting <file> and <print> or clicking the print icon if there is one in that application. I deleted the printers and reinstalled the drivers...nothing. I upgraded from OS 10.7 to 10.8...again nothing. I zapped the pram...still nothing. I've been using Macs for 15 years and this issue has got me stumped. Any suggestions?

    I was unable to find the SavedData file.  I am running Windows 7 and there seems to be two files there /Roaming/Adobe/InDesign and /Roaming/Adobe/AdobeInDesing5.5 and neither one has a clear file name "InDesign SavedData" for me to remove.  I think I found the "InDesign Debaults" under the /Roaming/Adobe/InDesign/version7.5/en_US/InDesignDefaults.  Is that one it?
