Canon IR c1028 - USB and Mac issues

I have a Canon IR c1028:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/office/color_imagerunner_copiers/color_imagerunner_c1030_c1031...
I have it USB attached and Network attached. The network attached prinitng works fine but one of my home compouters is habitually attached to my coprporate VPN and so I use USB attachment. I have recently started having issues with printing from the MacBook which runs YOSEMITE as follows:
1. Instal the printer using the driver from the above link (printer appears to be connected and online)
2. Send print job to printer....printer makes a sound in recognition but if you watch the print queue from the Mac you see a cycle of:
Priniting
The printer is not connected
The printer is offline
This repeats every time and it does not resolve if you delete the printer and even if you reset the printer subsystem before re-installing
Thanks for ideas ?

  • I have a multifunctional Canon i-SENSYS MF4140 and Mac Book Air Mac OS X 10.7.3 Lion (11D50b). I have a problem because I can not scan, it is not driver for this application?

    I have a multifunctional Canon i-SENSYS MF4140 and Mac Book Air Mac OS X10.7.3 Lion (11D50b). I have a problem because I can not scan, it is not driver for this application?

    I see printer drivers from Canon for that printer for OS X 10.7. but not scanner drivers. If the MF4140 is not recognized by the Image Capture application and Canon technical support cannot offer any assistance, all I can think of to suggest is to try a third-party scan application such as VueScan:

    They offer a free trial period so you can see if it works with your Canon.

  • Mighty mouse usb and wireless issues with OSX 10.6.1

    Since upgrading to OSX 10.6.1 I have experienced intermittent mighty mouse issues with both the USB and wireless mouse. Essentially the mouse works as a pointer. However, I cannot select anything or use the mouse buttons. I need to re-start the machine in order to get it to work properly again. Anyone else had this issue or have suggestions for fixing it?

    Pushing the power button briefly on my iMac turns off the display and stops the hard drive running (both my internal and external drive). Pushing it briefly again brings everything back up in about 2 seconds - it's not a full startup. That's why I call it "sleep" - cause that's what it seems to be doing.

  • USB and Driver Issues

    Hello!
    I recently received a bunch of new devices for Christmas - a digital camera, MP3 player, etc., plus I just bought a BlackBerry this week.
    The problem I'm having with all of these devices is my Compaq Presario CQ60 Laptop will not connect with these devices.  It works fine with my mouse and my printer, but those are drivers I had installed right when I got the computer. 
    Although I installed the drivers using disks or website files for all of these other devices, when I plug them in the computer does not recognize them.  It tries to install the driver then says pops up with the "device driver software was not successfully installed". 
    The devices themselves also act as if they are connected to the computer for about 1-2 seconds, then act as if they aren't.  My Kodak camera won't even turn on if it's plugged to the computer.  The BlackBerry turns itself on and off of charging mode but I manage to back it up when I run the software.
    This happens with all 3 USB ports.
    And under My Computer the devices don't show up if they are plugged in.  Again, it works fine with things that worked with the computer before the problem started, which as far as I can tell was before the holidays.
    Any advice?  Thanks!

    Thanks,

    This would be the first thing to consider as I have no knowlege of which, if any, service pack for Vista you have installed.
    Have you gone to the support web page for your laptop and applied the Windows Essential updates that are recommended by HP? Here is a direct link to the HP web support document. There are hotfixes for numerous issues included in the updates which are specifically for your laptop.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro X and Mac issues

    I am running Adobe Acrobat X Pro on Lion and when I go to scan from PDF, my HP Deskjet 3052 A scanner isn't showing up in the drop down menu.  I also have Acrobat Pro X for Windows on my machine (VMWare) and it works fine, but it won't work with the Mac version.  I have called Adobe and HP and neither have been able to help me.  I bought this program with this feature in mind, and I am sick of having to toggle back to Windows to scan, as it eats up a lot of my processing power.  I have downloaded the SANE and TWAIN drivers (or so I thought I did) with no luck.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Painful Mail and .Mac issue.

    I own 2 domains and therefore have my own email addresses for them. I also have a .Mac account and use that as my main mailbox getting everything forwarded into it and then picking it up with Mail.app. The problem is that I never want to send mail via my .mac address I will always use my own domain. Mail seems to randomly choose my .Mac account to send the mail from which is increasingly annoying. Is there a way to stop this and set a proper default FROM account?

    Why not just have mail download the messages direct rather than forwarding them to your .mac account. that way each email would reply from the email address that you received it in. You can access multiple email accounts with mac mail.app. The only problem you might have is with smtp not forwarding some accounts. .mac usually will process smtp mail from another account.

  • Another windows 8.1 usb 3.0 issue

    Hi all,
    my usb 3.0 port worked fine in windows 8,, then updated to 8.1 and 8.1 update 1.
    Then I had to run a system restore (to a point in time 24 hours before), and then... boom:
    No device is detected anymore on the usb 3.0 port of my laptop.
    No usb key, no disk... the usb 3.0 disk light turns on and it's blue (3.0) but the device is ignored by windows: no error
    in device manager, just nothing.
    The only thing I noted, is that when I insert anything in that port, the system interrupts entry of the task manager spikes
    to 17% and stays there forever, until I reboot.
    I've tried everything I could find on the web for 2 days, I'm probably giving up and will disable the "Intel (R) USB
    3.0 eXtensible Host Controller -0100 (Microsoft)” entry in device manager.
    I can't believe it's a hardware issue... but it behaves as if it was. My UEFI is very simple and there are no settings for
    usb, and the issue persists in safe mode too.
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Please check Device Manager if there was any error message with USB 3.0 driver. If so, what's the error code of it.
    You can refer to the link below to fix USB 3.0 driver probelm for test:

  • I am running 10.8 and I am trying to get a E-mu 1x1 midi/usb connector to work with my keyboards. It's not working with any keyboard at all. I believe it is a Mainstage/Mac issue. Mainstage can recognize the the interface but it won't work.

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.

  • Mac Pro USB and FW800 ports not working

    I've been reading tons of forum entries in the Apple Support Community and in other forums.  Nothing seems to answer quite what's going on with my Mac Pro Tower.
    Here are the details and steps taken up to now:
    - I'm running a Mac Pro Tower (MacPro 3,1, 2x 2,8GHz Quad Core, Early 2008 model), currently running OS 10.6.8
    - I moved before the holidays in December and left my computer unplugged for over  month while away. Didn't have any issues before the move.
    - up until the last couple of weeks, I had actually been running on Leopard (yes, I'm a luddite!, please, no teasing )
    - I was trying to update my ipod touch's iOS and kept getting errors preventing it from completing the process. At first I thought it was an ipod app causing the issue after having read a few threads on that topic...
    - Also, on startup, the Mac started searching for a Bluetooth keyboard, of which I don't have, and would not detect my usb keyboard.  I would disconnect and reconnect the keyboard and the majority of the time, the Mac would then recognize my USB keyboard.
    - I decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard, which didn't help with the iPod update. I did not do a clean install.
    - Then I noticed that my USB stick wasn't working and tried it in all the usb ports (except the ones on the keyboard)
    - Also, I had removed and then reinstalled printer and scanner drivers for my All-in-one printer. After this I kept getting constant communication errors between the mac and the printer via the usb port, although I was able to print a test page.
    - I've used Hardware Test once which didn't detect any issue.
    - I reset the SMC
    - I reset the PRAM, and for a few seconds I was able to read from my USB stick, then never again, even after another PRAM reset.
    - I've cleaned the whole inside of the computer and checked for loose cables.  Cables are in so tight it's so hard to loosen them!
    - I now tested all the ports:
         ∞ the 2 front and 3 back USB ports are unresponsive to my usb key and to my VoyagerQ dock
         ∞ the front and back FW800 ports are unresponsive to my VoyagerQ dock
         ∞ However, the keyboard works in any fo the back ports and my USB stick is recorgnized by the USB port of the keyboard.
         ∞ I also plugged in my Logitech webcam into the keyboard and it works there but not in any other port.
         ∞ When I plug in USB powered speakers into any of the ports, they work fine
         ∞ And the FW400 ports are also working fine with my VoyagerQ dock
    - a few times, including once today, my mac restarted by itself.  The times before today, I thought it was because I was sort of moving back the computer in place, but today I was nowhere near the computer.
    So what does this all mean? Should I do a clean install of the Mac OS? Or is it a problem with my Logic Board?
    Any insight please would be helpful.  I had Apple Care and missed the reminder to renew it so I really hoping not to spend more money than necessary.

    Thanks Grant,
    The battery is a start and something inexpensive to replace.
    I did do a PRAM reset (command + option + P + R) and was able to hear the chime 4 times. I tried resetting it a number of times over the past week, as well as yesterday with no success in reviving the USB ports.  But isn't it weird that my USB powered speakers work by plugging them in any USB port (with the mini jack pugged in the back or front earphone plug)?
    I did not use the USB ports on the keyboard until yesterday, so that is not the cause of the other USB and FW800 ports failing. But I'll follow your suggestion and not use them except for the mouse.
    Another weird thing that happened yesterday, I have 16GB of RAM and I spent all day trying to troubleshoot a RAM issue that is magically fixed after leaving the computer on overnight to do an extended Hardware Test. The issue was:
    - Only 8 RAMS were being recognized
    - a red LED light appeared on the top riser
    - first I thought I had isolated the faulty RAM bar, and then a second one
    - Then going pair by pair again, I no longer saw the LED light
    - Put back all 8 bars, only 8 GB of RAM recognized
    - Left computer overnight running Hardware test (said it took almost 3 hours, with no errors)
    - Now all 16 GB are recognized!
    Thanks again for the tips

  • I can't download photos from my canon 350d to my apple mac - even using i-photo (what's image capture). The card doesn't fit in the computer and I don't ave a card reader. Is there a simple solution?

    Can anyone help? I'm trying to get the pictures off my canon 350d onto my i-mac (I've tried through i-photo).

    Option 1: Download Canon's software. Attach the camera to the computer (USB A to mini B) and the software will ask where to download your photos.
    Option 2: Buy a CF card reader.  I recently purchased a PIXELFLASH card reader for $16US.

  • Is it OK to use USB 2.0 connection for Glyph external drive and Mac Pro as project drive?

    Is it OK to use a USB 2.0 connection for Glyph external drive and Mac Pro as project drive? I was told by Sweetwater tech support to use Firewire, but both the FW400 and FW800 connections crash my audio interface software mixer (Presonus' "Universal Control" software).
    Both Firewire connections also create a 10 second hang for each Command-Save that I do.
    USB 2.0 for the external drive seems to be working so far, but is there some reason I should be wary of using this as my go-to project drive? In other words, I am imagining that there was probably some definite reason that the tech support guy mentioned not to use it. But maybe not. It's a brand new Glyph. In any event, it's nice to have the 10 second hang eliminated, and I was just looking for some advice, since digging into the Presonus software issue could take some time.

    If you have a mac pro, why not stick the external HDD inside via one of your many SATA cables & have it run 9 times faster than your USB?
    Or stick a HDD CADDY in your mac pro, so you can slot in a full sized 3TB HDD for recording, and when you are done, pull it out & slip it in an external enclosure if you need to take it places?

  • Canon 5d Mark III and Lightroom 4.3 tethered shooting issues.

    I bought a new Canon 5d Mark III and upgraded my lightroom to 4.3.  I have been having issues shooting tehtered.  I'll shoot and get some frames coming in and when I start plugging away the program bar will spin and I'll only get a few grey frames and it just kind of freezes.  I don't know what to do. 

    LR4.3 was supposed to improve Lightroom's built-in tethering, but in my experience it still has some reliability problems - especialy in recovering from broken connections (not just unplugging USB but also if the camera loses power by sleeping or when changing a memory card).
    Sorry if some of this is basic info, but I'd recommend you try a different USB cable - the cable end that connects to the camera is easilly damaged in a way that makes a connection possible, but unstable (I strongly recommend finding a cable with a 90 degree downward bend at the camera plug). Also, we often have to send a camera body in to have the USB port serviced. Canon has begun to provide a small rubber boot to reinforce the USB connection at the port, but they won't sell the part outside of a repair service. Be sure to use some kind of stress-relief for the cable at the camera. Tethertools sells one, but I've made mine DIY with a little string and a small binder clip... nearly free. Finally, be sure your cable is less than about 15 feet. If you need to go longer, I've successfully tethered with two cheap powered repeaters from Monoprice, but no single link should be over 15 feet.
    Oh yeah, also set your camera to not sleep for a long time.
    Beyond all that, is using EOS Utility for capture and LR Auto-import a viable option for you? It works very well for me. I use the Apple "Image Capture" app to tell my system to launch EOS Utility whenever the camera is connected - and set EOS Utility to launch into remote capture/camera control mode. It's very stable and recovers from disconnects or camera power loss and the remote camera control/live view can be pretty handy.
    Another plus is that if you do need to disconnect USB and shoot to card, you can just copy new images from the card to your watched folder and they are imported to Lightroom with the same settings and location.
    The only downsides for me is that there is no way to have a crop apply to new images using auto import -- and I have to re-save my develop preset each time I make a change. Using the "Same as Previous" option under develop settings in native tethering is so great for this and I'd love to see a similar option added to auto import.
    Hope this helps.
    -Andy
