Canon MG5220 driver not available on Software update server

I'm receiving the following error everytime I attempt to add the Multifunction Canon MG5220 printer ... Connected via USB and WiFi both modes fail to install the printer driver.
"Can't install the software for the canon MG5220 series becasue it is not currently available from the software update server"
I've downloaded drivers from the Canon site, however the Mac continues to attempt to reach the update server to get the driver without success. So I've not been able to print.
Strangley enough, the scanner driver portion is seen, but not the printer.

Resolved after downloading and running the setup file for this multifunction printer from Canon site.

HP Driver "Can't install because it is not available from Software Update Server"

Proplem: Can't use my HP Officejet 6500 E709n on my MacBook Pro, even using USB connection.    I click on sign, get add printer window showing the HP 6500 printer as USB Multifunction. I select and press 'add'. I get 'setting up ...' window. After a while I get the error window, "Can't install the software for the HP Office jet 6500 E709n because it is not currently available from Software Update Server." Only option is cancel.
HP site says that it supports Mountain Lion and the only way to get the driver is through Apple's Software Update.
Apple's site says Mountain Lion supports HP 6500 printer.
The Windows 7 computer on the netword prints fine to it.
I would really like to get this connected. Does anyone have a clue why the driver is not on the Software Update Server what the fix is?
Thank you for the help.

Fantastic, Mene1 & John. Thank you. I deleted the HP Folder, deleted trash, reboot, and reinstalled. USB installed like a charm. Was able to print and scan.   I even noticed that the Fax printer came up for both USB and 192.168.1.65. I installed the fax printer for the network and it works great without USB.
However, the network for the printer never showed up in the list. I tried IP option and entered the address. It correctly identified the printer in the "use" field. However, when I click on 'add' is has a window that says, "Unable to verify the printer on your network. Unable to contact to '192.168.1.65' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?"   I choose Continue, and it creates the printer. Printing, it just sits there trying to connect with the printer.    Again, the printer is hardwired into my home network and I am using my AT&T U-verse Wi-Fi connection to my MacBook Pro (which works for Fax on the printer).
Any ideas?

Software not available from software update server

I have a MacBook Pro, mid-2009, 2.53 GHz; 8 GB memory, running OS X 10.9 (13A603). Yes, I upgraded to Mavericks just this afternoon. And now I want to use Boot Camp to install Windows 7. This is the first time I've tried to do this.
I read through all the information I could find about using BCA. I know my machine won't run Win 8, so I'm going with Win 7. I finally found a thumb drive that was big enough for the job and reformatted it. I launched BCA, and it headed for the download thing. But then it hit a snag: a little error box that reads, "Can't install the software becase it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
I have no idea what that means, so please ... someone tell me what to do next. Please, please don't tell me that I can't get there from here.
For what it's worth, my machine started out running Snow Leopard, and I've dutifully upgraded every time a new OS comes out.

I got past this problem with help from another post in this forum. Now I have another problem: an error that interrupts the partitioning. I'll ask about that in a new post if I can't find an answer here.

I figured out the problem. It was the UTF encoding. Should have stuck with UTF-8 but instead took what PSPAD gave me as a default.

HP Printer Driver not currently available from Software Update server

I have an iMac (early 2009) and an HP OfficeJet 6100 Series printer. I just upgraded my Apple Extreme Base Station and when I try to add the printer again thru the new Base Station the iMac says the software is available from the Apple Server but after searching it returns the following message: "Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet 6100 Series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." This has been going on for days. I have the driver installed already from having the printer connected via USB and via my old Base Station but cannot "see" the printer on my new Base Station without adding it again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Drew

HT201210 My partner updated iphone 5, and it now shows 'Connect to iTunes'. Then we get 'iTunes could not contact iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet'. Please help.

iPhone 5 was updated (version unknown), and now screen shows 'Connect to iTunes. When we try to do this, we get message 'iTunes could not contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet'.
Please tell me how I fix this problem.
Thanks

Yes, the reason you are getting the error is the phone cannot provide internet for the laptop and then update itself. It would lose connection as you erase the firmware and try to update. You need to connect the computer to the Internet in some other fashion before you connect the phone to try and fix the update problem. As Ocean20 says, and I completely agree, how would you think you could use the Internet connection of a device that is not only going to turn off and on, but is going to get completely wiped of firmware and restored? It would completely remove the device from the equation here. Does that make sense to you?

Will not connect to software update server

I am trying to update 3 iPhones and an iPad 2 to IOS 5.1. Each time that I open iTunes and select upgrade, I get a message that says Contacting the iPhone (or iPad) software update server. It never goes any farther.
I did try to update each device using WiFi by going to Settings>General>Software Update, but that did not work either.
I was able to update my iPad 2 using the WiFi network at my work.
So something on my home network, iTunes and/or WiFi is not working. I turned off the firewall.
What do I need to do to get this to work correctly?
Thank you.

Try going to recovery mode as described here. You may have to try this more than once to succeed.
Use the original iTunes that the iPhone synced with.

Bash not available in Software Updates

When checking in software updates for Bash patch, it shows no updates available for either a Mavericks machine or a Mountain Lion machine. Who knows why going through software update doesn't show anything available.
I did get the download at Apple - Support - Downloads (http://support.apple.com/downloads)

I installed update for BASH 1.0 as instructed during support phone calls Saturday - my computer States Successful - BUT I can't find it listed in my updates - should I install BASH update as told by senior advisor yesterday , a second time?

Since I installed Mountain Lion operating system, I cannot print. I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one printer. I get a message when I try to update the software "Server not available The software update service is currently not available."

After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work. I know it is connected as it shows up, The message is:
"The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed. I unistalled the printer and reistalled. Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc. I never had to use the CD that came with the printer. My printer is: HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected. Can someone please help me to get this working,
Thank you,

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

My Canon MX310 Series Printer failed as the software "is currently not available from the Software Update Server"? What is the matter with Apple OSX Mountain Lion?

Mountain Lion stopped working with our Canon MX310 Printer? Why is the software not available from the Software Update Server?

The printer and ICA scanner driver is available from Apple. There is probably some other reason why you cannot get the drivers.
You can also get the drivers from Canon.
But reading your post it sounds like you were printing to the MX310 and recently it has stopped printing. Is this the case?

Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it. When I try add the printer I get this message:
Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
Thanks!

The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
Print & Scan
IP
Provide printer static IP address
Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
Add
Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port. However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." And then I have to click cancel.
The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series, and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network', and USE: MX870 series. But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
"Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Marty,
It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences. I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:
Resolution
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
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 install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
