Canon LBP3100B Not working since installing a wireless modem

My Mac will not print to my printer even though the printer appears in the printer list and the print queue shows a job "printing". The printer utility thinks no printer has been installed. The printer doesn't make any noise and nothing happens. I have tried resetting the printers (deleting all printers). I have reinstalled the software and printer several times, but still no joy. Canon have supplied me with a pixma ip4700 in the meantime, and that works fine. They have tried to duplicate my problem (on a Mac using my OS) without success. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I have noticed that although the first time I added the printer there was an icon at the top of the Add Printer window saying "More Printers" this doesn't appear any more.
With the CAPT driver installed, the More Printers button takes some time to appear in the bottom left corner of the Default Add Printer view.
If this More Printers button does not appear after several seconds then something may have gone wrong with the CAPT driver re-installation (assuming you did install the CAPT v3.10 driver after deleting the CAPT folder). In this case I would run the CAPT installer again.
Also I can't add via the More Printers button as when I do that the printer does not appear in the list of printers after I click on the driver that way.
Sorry, but I thought you said that the More Printers button is not appearing? If it is appearing and after you select it and then Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) from the top menu, the LBP3100 should be visible in this view if it is connected via USB to the Mac.
I can add the printer through the Print Using field by choosing Other and finding the PPD on the HD (Library - Printers - Canon - PPD's).However, although the printer then appears in the list, sending a print job doesn't wake up the printer, it just adds to the print queue.
This would be an expected result as you cannot add the CAPT printer using this method.
Also when I look up the Printer Utility under Printer Setup in the Print Queue. It says there are no registered printers and status monitor will be terminated.
Again, if the printer was added by selecting the PPD via the Other menu then the CAPT print monitor will not function correctly. So I suggest you delete this newly created printer queue and select to add the printer again by selecting More Printers when it appears. I just tested how long it takes and it was about 5 seconds before I saw More Printers. Then when I did select it I could see Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) and Canon IP (CUPS CAPT) in the top drop menu.
If you can select Canon USB (CUPS CAPT) at this point but then you don't see the LBP3100B in the bottom window then it may be worth you trying another USB cable.

  • Illustrator CS4 not working since installing Yosemite

    Since installing Yosemite on my Macbook Pro, my CS4 Adobe Illustrator no longer works. The related files in the applications folder also show as being unavailable. All of the other programmes in the CS4 design suite still run without a problem. Can you please let me know how I can fix this issue. Thanks.

    sorry I've not seen this question sooner - I'm here looking of answers to a recent problem with Photoshop CS4 repeatedly crashing in Yosemite - been working fine for months until this week - roll on Serif Affinity Photo!... 
    However. I'm no illustrator expert but I have Ai CS4 on three Macs, all running Yosemite and Ai apparently working just fine as far as I can see (I'm not a frequent user of Ai so rarely touch the surface of features but it launches, opens Ai files supplied by clients and saves my edit just fine.

  • Print spooler not working since installing LinkSys WRT 160N

    Since installing my WRT160N my printers have stopped working. All printer drivers have been removed including acrobat and my fax.
    Even if I try reinstalling my drivers, I get the following error:
    Spooler SubSystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close. 
    Prior to this error my firewall was giving me constant warnings about  Pure Networks Admin assistant application trying to access the same files(i.e. nmctxth.exe). Even though I allowed it still kept popping up.
    I am using the online armor firewall on a Windows XP system.
    I cannot access the LinkSys Advisor anymore as it will not start.
    Thanks

    I had the exact same thing happen to me.  Installed a WRT 160N on May 10 and have not been able to print since.  Wasn't sure it was the router until I dug into the event log.  This message appears as a warning during the time I was installing:
    Printer Driver Microsoft XPS Document Writer for Windows NT x86 Version-3 was added or updated. Files:- mxdwdrv.dll, unidrvui.dll, mxdwdui.gpd, unidrv.hlp, mxdwdui.dll, mxdwdui.ini, stddtype.gdl, stdnames.gpd, stdschem.gdl, stdschmx.gdl, unidrv.dll, unires.dll, XpsSvcs.dll.
    Apparently we tried to print something a couple of days later and this error appears:
    DCOM got error "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. " attempting to start the service lxcf_device with arguments "" in order to run the server:
    {323CE21C-A448-40AA-BA74-7FCF1E44106F}
    Any help out there?  Windows says I have a spooler dll file missing and also keep getting an error message about "RPC server not available."   What should I do?
    thanks!

  • Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since installing Vista

    I did a clean installation on my Vista Ready new M7. It had XP tablet to begin with and the DVD drive worked fine. Indeed I used it to install Vista (Home Premium).
    Now it does not work at all. It spins but does not read. Device Manager tells me device cannot start. Tried to update driver and it told me that it has the most uptodate driver.
    Downloaded all the drivers from Tosh download centre for Vista upgrade of M7 (which got bluetooth, screen rotation etc to work fine). But none of the downloads seemed to be a driver for the DVD-Ram drive. Can not find a driver anywhere else (including Panasonic site).
    DVD drive is Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-841s
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    On the Toshiba driver page you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
    Did you try to install the XP DVD-RAM driver from the Toshiba page on the Vista OS?
    Maybe it will works
    But listen the CD/DVD drive uses the common Microsoft drivers which are included into Vista or XP.
    Therefore an additional driver should be not needed!
    One additional proposal;
    Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager and reboot the notebook.
    After new reboot the OS should install the drive again and should renew the software.
    Other hint:
    - Start the registry
    - Choose the registry key;
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    - In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters and LowerFilters then click Delete.
    - and restart the notebook

    After installing FF4.0.1 my Norton Identity Safe does not work. Also, I have been getting a few pop-up windows which my Norton would normally have blocked. Norton is not showing any issues. FF is set to block Pop ups.

    Symantec have made an update for their add-ons to work in Firefox 4, but they only listed them as compatible with Firefox 4.0, they need to update them to let them work in Firefox 4.0.1.

  • Credit due: 1tv box not working since install, will not pay for this 3weeks+?

    finally had time to try troubleshoot tonight msg states: 'something is not quite right' after rebooting. Before this the msg was 'please give us a moment' last few times i tried over past few weeks I would get this, and no time to deal with having to troubleshoot and call......so could not use this box/tv. also screen would start program display then freeze and no functions worked - could not start it or change channel
    other main box works most of time - however it takes up to15 minutes at times to start up! acceptable! also sometimes the Tv just goes blankand have to turn off and on again. - again - should not have to pay for sporadic service,
    have received sev'l variation of msgs - now getting 'Please give us a moment' this is ridiculous. I expect to be able to watch wheni turn eqmnt on, instead i have to spend the little time i have on troubleshooting, contacting Comcast, explaining the problem....typing this message..
    Please credit me for service since date this eqpt was installed and do not charge me a dime until it is fixed,
    thanks

    I have spoken to the support team again this afternoon. They have told me it is with 2nd level support (???) and that the issue is different to what it was upon installation (even though what they described was exactly the same!!). The engineer due to visit me is a home engineer who will need to work on the connection in my house. Can anyone confirm that by this they mean someone will come and check the setup of the hub? What else can a home engineer do to resolve? It makes no sense whatsoever... they just seem unwilling to listen to me and follow their on screen instructions. Awful customer service.

  • Apple Internal Modem not working since installing OS X 10.5.2

    Folks,
    A friend of mine just installed 10.5.2 on his G4 Tower which has an Apple Internal 56k modem.
    The modem was working properly under 10.4.11.
    Now that he is using 10.5.2 the modem will not dial.
    Network (in System Prefs) sees that there is a modem, since it allows him to create an Internal Modem connection, but it will not dial the modem.
    Has anyone else seen this issue? Any solutions out there?
    Thanks!

    Tony, 
    The +Intel iMacs+ don't have internal modems so you probably won't get much help around these parts. Try posting over in the PowerMac G4 forums:

  • Safari 7.1 does not work since installing OS 10.9.5

    I installed OS 10.9.5 a couple days ago and since then, Safari 7.1 does not load (I do get the spinning beachball).

    Hi ..
    Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions issue ..
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
    Click:   Remove All Website Data
    Then delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

  • Printer not working since installing Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion

    Since updating, Epson XP-400 printer unable to print. Message says the printer is offline and the printer is not connected yet printed a test page but unable to print a Pages document. I reinstalled the printer software and checked for updated software.
    I upgraded solely to avail of an app that was recommended and a novice at doing any more, so help much appreciated.

    Hi Visionlike,
    I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article if you are not able to print after updating OS X:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel.
    Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and installyour printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • IWork '05 will not work since installing Snow Leopard

    I have iWork '05 and use Pages and Keynote. Since I installed the Snow Leopard update, when I open Pages all I get is the side toolbar and nothing else. I went to preferences and choose "open blank template" and then it says that it is "unable to open", and I tried using a template that I have created previously and that would not open either. When I choose "Open on Template Chooser" then nothing happens.
    I can't get any files to open or new documents.
    I am unable to install updates for iWork because I am running '05 and not '09.
    Please help.

    iwork05 is not compatible with snow leopard. you need to get a newer version. iwork08 is available on amazon for 20$ used and 30$ new.

  • LAN not working since installing Windows XP on Satellite P100-160

    Hi,
    I purchased a P100-160 (PSPAAE - 01D00UEN) with Vista pre-installed. Couldn't stand Vista so I have just installed Windows XP.
    However, I cannot get my LAN to work properly. That is, I can get it to work with the 'Cardbus Ethernet Card' plugged in, but i cannot get it to work via the RJ-45 slot!
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do/how I can rectify this.
    Many thanks
    Yvonne

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.
    As far as I am aware I have downloaded all the drivers. I have checked both of the sites that you indicated, I have downloaded the drivers but there does not seem to be a 'setup' icon/file within the extrated files. There are 'unistaller' files but not a setup one - anyone have any ideas????
    Do you suggest that I install all the drivers from scatch and see what happens? Any other suggetions would be very much appreciated.
    Best regards
