Canon MF4120 and printing (MacBook, OP system 10.4.11)

Hi!
I have a problem - I don't know what to do to get my printer to work. It's directly connected with USB to my Mac but it doesn't work. It finds the printer but when I start to print, it simply gives me ! (a red one) and says nothing more. What could be the problem? Could anyone tell me step by step what I should do to get my printer work properly.
Thanks!

Hello Kaysa24, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Click on the Printer's icon in the Dock when that happens... any more info there?

Canon ZR40 camcorder and a Macbook with the latest OS.

I have a Canon ZR40 and a Macbook with the latest OS. My iMovie does not recognize the camcorder. Can someone please give me step by step directions on what I should be doing?

1. Turn on the camcorder and set it to VTR or VCR mode (this mode may have a different name on your
camera).
2. Connect the camcorder to your computer using a FireWire cable (the one that came with your
camcorder or any other FireWire cable).
3. If this is the first time you’re importing from a device that records high-definition (HD) video, an HD
Import Setting dialog appears. Even if you aren’t importing HD video now, select Large or Full, and then
click OK.
You can change this preference later if you do import HD video.
4. If the Import window doesn’t open, choose File > “Import from Camera.”
5. If you have multiple devices connected to your computer, choose the device you want to import from the
Camera pop-up menu.
6. Set the switch on the lower-left side of the window to one of the following:
Automatic: Automatically rewinds the tape, imports all of the tape contents, and rewinds the tape
again.
Manual: Lets you rewind and fast-forward the tape so that you can import only the footage you want.
Use the controls to set your tape to the point where you want to begin importing.
7. Click Import.
If you still can’t import video after checking the items above, try the following:
If iMovie doesn’t recognize your camcorder
Turn the camcorder off and on again.
Disconnect the cable from both the camcorder and the computer, and then reconnect it.
Quit and then reopen iMovie.
Restart your computer.
Try using a different cable.
Try using a different computer with iMovie installed.

Canon XL2 and Macbook Pro

hello everybody, I was wondering if anybody out there owns a Canon XL2 and a macbook pro, I was wondering if these two products are compatable together. Can you connect the camera to the notebook and edit it with Final Cut studio. Thanks.

Yes they are compatible together. You can even record in 24p and extract the 24 frames using cinema tools for real 24p editing (for possible film transfer of your movie). Or just capture your 24p content to regular dv NTSC 30fps and get the film look/movement. There are issues with FCP with an XL2 connected to MBP and another external device such as HD or Decks( it happened to me both MBP and 3 G5's, but hopefully yours wont). Sometimes FCP wont resume its start up until you unplug the external device. If thats the case just capture using the MBP's HD, unplug the XL2 after capture and transfer the footage to external HD.

I'm trying to install an HP LaserJet 1000 series printer so all systems on my network can access it.

Topography: All systems are Windows XP. Wireless network. Printer is physically attached to one of the XP systems, and printing from that system works as expected. Trying to add this printer via the "Add Printer" fails.
In "Add Printer", selecting "A Network Printer, or a printer attached to another computer"; press "Next"
On "Next" panel, selected "Browse for a printer", press "next"
On "Next panel", this printer I am looking for "\\host\printername" appears (along with other printers attached to other hosts"; press "Next"
On "Next panel", get popup "You are about to connect to a printer on host, which will automatically installa print driver on your machine. Printer drivers may contain viruses or scripts that can be harmful to your computer. It is important to be certain that the computer sharing this printer is trustworthy. Would you like to continue?"
Select "yes". Get a popup "The server for the "hp Laser Jet 1000" printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator (that's me) or original equipment manufacturer for the correct printer driver."
Select "OK". Get a popup box titled "File needed: printer driver INF for hp LaserJet 1000" Box has input for typing the path where the file is located."
And ... I'm stuck. :-( I have no idea what it's looking for, or where it should be found.
The printer itself was a hand-me-down, so it's not like there's any real $$ involved in this; and I could always instll the printer directly on the system that will be using it most, but I'd really like to have it on my network. Did not receive any original CDs or publications. The installation file that I used, which I presume installed the driver was down loaded from this site, filename "lj1000hostbased-en-exe"
Any good advice on how to get this printer (it's a VERY nice printer, by the way ... prints wonderfully from the host it's actually attached to) onto my network for remote printing?
Thanks, in advance!
Update w/ additional possibly useful information: The HP Print and Scan Doctor does NOT see this printer at all. however the add printer dialog does. I don't know if that's useful or not, but it is what it is.
Thanks in advance again!

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

Canon XF100 and full HD recording

Hello,
I am Canadian videographer established in Hawaii for a while and I am developing a project. I want to make Hawaii known to Canadian via Skype. It is a new concept of reality show where people can follow me in Hawaii in real time and ask me questions. It would be a premiere in the reality show world. You are welcome to financially support the project (around 900$). It could be an awesome way to promote how Skype can be powerful. But now, I need your help to make it a success. I use a Canon XF100 and a MacBook Pro 2011. I want to use the Canon XF100 as an external HD camera on the MacBook Pro for his features, his XLR quality sound and the Full HD video. I tried to add the link to the diagram but it says "it is not a valid URL" then it is... So, here are the details:
The MacBook Pro settings: Skype 5.8 + Mac OS X 10.7 + 2,2 GHz I7 + 8G RAM + 256 SSD hard disk drive.
What I want to do:
- Use Clear Hotspot for wireless internet (with G4 and G3).
- Connect the Canon XF100 to BlackMagic Design via HDMI.
- Connect BlackMagic Design to MacBook Pro via Thunderbolt.
- Connect the headset to the MacBook Pro via USB.
My questions:
Does Skype recognize Thunderbolt connection from the BlackMagic Design?
How can I record audio from the headset microphone, from people questioning and from the Canon XF100?
How can I record Full HD chat video from Skype (Ecamm can’t do that)?
I look forward to having answers from you as soon as possible. Thank you.

Yes. with it's newer cameras, (T4i, T5i, 6D, 70D,5D3,etc) Canon gets around this by allowing you to continue past 4GB but the video is automatically split into separate files. This means you will need to edit the movie back together in post processing.
Magic Lantern does not degrade your video quality. It can actually improve your quality thanks to all the options it adds, but it does not allow you to exceed the 4GB limit.
Magic Lantern has an "Movie Restart" option to go past 30 mins. The camera will stop after 29.59minutes, but will restart in less than a second, so you don't lose very much and you don't need to touch the camera for that, as it will work automatically.

Live view from my Canon 7D to my Macbook or iPad2?

I have a Canon 7d and a Macbook and an iPad2. Can I attach my 7D to my Macbook or iPad and see a live view as if I were looking at the back of my 7d? This is so I can see my subject on my macbook or iPad live as if I were in live view on the back of my 7d

Which OS are you on? As long as you're not on Lion, you should be able to do it.
You can accomplish this by using the USB cable that came with your 7D and EOS Utility. To download this app click here.

How to set up Yosemite 10.10.1 to print and scan using CANON PIXMA MP780 on MacBook Pro (Pre-Yosemite operating system OS X10.6.8)?
Yosemite 10.10.1 doesn't seem to support MP780. Also, CANON doesn't have a driver for Yosemite 10.10.1 for its MP 780 series.
Thanks. Bozdogan (at [email protected])

I believe you should be able to print wirelessly using your MBP and printer. However, you will want to visit the Canon home site and download the current drivers and firmware for your printer. Once you've done this, I hope you'll post back with your results.

You're going to need both drivers and firmware.

I am attempting to connect my Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8. After loading software from Canon and attempting to print, I get the following message: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. What can I do to fix this?

I just purchased and installed a Canon Pixma MG5220 printer/copier/scanner to my PC desktop with Windows XP. It works fine. It has been successfully installed on my network and I am able to use it with my laptop running VISTA. However, I am trying to connect it to my MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 and I am not having much luck. I can see it as one of the printer choices when attempting to print; however, I get the following message:
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
I have been searching for answers, but nothing seems to work yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Let me understand:
- you have purchased named canon, which is conencted to your PC running windows xp
- downloaded driver for win xp, and canon works fine
- canon is connected to that PC via USB
- that Canon is also activated as network printer, by allowing print sharing in windows; how did you set that option?
- now, you are in Mac OS x 10.6.8, downloaded Canon driver for Mac OS X, installed it, detected printer on the network, printer was installed; was it detected as attached to that PC running win XP? or not?
or you set canon by being connected to your mac directly via USB?
Now, there are some questions you should answer as some details are missing, and your initial text is not clear. Can you print if Canon is connected directly to your mac? did you try that? if not, do it before answering.

I have a new Macbook Pro and an old Canon ip Pixma 8500. I have downloaded the software from Canon but my printer settings will still not register it. Looks like I can print a colour calendar but not a letter!

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

HT204135 I have two Epson printers and one Canon printer. Why am I unable to access the same print options on my MacBook Pro as I could on mp PC i.e. select paper type and print quality?

I have just purchased a MacBook Pro as my PC has finaly died.
I have three Inkjet printers i.e. Epson Photo PX700W Epson Photo R340 and a Canon Pixma ip4600 which I connected to my Mac and the print drivers were automatically downloaded. Now when I print using any of the printers the functionality PC i.e. Choice of paper and print quality settings. Is this all I get when using the Mac OS lion or should the functionality be on a par with Windows?

Depending on the application you are printing from, you may need to press the Show Details button in the print dialog to see all of the additional driver menus.
The image below is for the extended print dialog of TextEdit and for a Canon MP990 printer. The Show Details button is on the bottom of the print dialog and will change to Hide Details when selected. And with the menu changed to Quality & Media, you have paper options and print quality settings.

I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air

Hello, I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air. I purchased this printer in late Dec 2013 and it HAS worked before & continues to "make noise" when it is turned on. This is Very Frustrating and Inconvient since I have a Business from my home. Please Help asap! Thank you, Tracey

traceyss--this might work on mac air: on google cloud print i went to the cloud site http://w.x.y.z(put in your numbers) and then menu-utilities-energy saving settings, where i turned off "auto off" (clicking on it leads you to this choice) and turned on "auto on." then i turned off printer and restarted in 5 seconds to get the changes into the mg3520's little brain: so far, so good(on a chromebook). hope this works for you!--ceaisland55

please can anbody help or advise?

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:
Calibrating Your Aperture System

I can't get my Canon i99oo and Lightroom 3.4.6 to print from my Macbook Pro

I get the error that I need to install new software update but all sotware and printer drivers are up to date.

Hi There
Do you have an SD card?
If so plug it into your SD card slot and you will be able to view all of your images/videos from there!!
Hope this helps.

How do you setup a canon mp620 to print from a Macbook Pro?

How can i print from my MacBook Pro with a canon mp620 printer? I have the printer setup with a PC via USB and want to add the MacBook as a new computer and print wirelessly. I have tried the installation cd and updated drivers from canon website but it still wont work.

I have managed to get my working. Firstly, I googled the CUPS drivers for the printer and then downloaded those from canons website. I then went to print and scan in system preferences and noticed that the printer had appeared there. I believe it was those drivers that made the difference but i was fiddling for hours before that so i cant be 100% sure how i got it to work.
