Canon MP510 All in one printer and Snow Leopard problem...

Hiya,
After looking at almost all the chat out there nothing has worked.
I have deleted the MP510 printer from my system prefs and ever since then I get the message "Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. 155.0.0". I cannot add the printer back into the list as it simply does not exist. Even with a new USB cable!
I have installed all the latest Canon software and upgrades: Easy-PhotoPrint EX_321; MP Navigator 304; PrinterDriverMP510102600 & ScanGear MP510 12131 to no avail, even after multiple restarts.
Can anyone help this newbie connect to the Canon printer please?

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you select to add the printer, if it does not appear in the Default view of the Add Printer browser then there could be a problem with the MP510, especially since you have already tried a new USB cable.
Some additional things that you can try
- turning the MP510 off for several seconds and then back on again
- trying a different USB port on the Mac
- resetting the printing system (described below) and trying to add the MP510 again
- with the MP510 connected to the USB port, opening System Profiler and checking the Hardware > USB section
If none of the above helps then please reply...

*How to Reset the Printing System*
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

Oki c9800PS printer and Snow Leopard problems printing

I have an OKI c9800PS printer and I must get it working urgently. Was working fine before installing Snow Leopard 10.6. Neither Apple nor OKI have been able to help so far. Does anyone have a solution? I keep getting an error message that says 'software was not installed correctly. Uninstall and reinstall.' I have done this more than six times so far.

After reading another post I tried the same suggestion but changing the name for my own printer and it works with Snow Leopard. (The original post of this solution is at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141179&tstart=0 - Matt's answer)
SOLUTION:
The Oki installer has set permissions incorrectly.
Open the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities).
Copy and paste the following command into a Terminal window:
sudo chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Oki/
Then hit the Return or Enter key. Enter your administrator's password at the prompt.
NOTE: Make sure the printer name, in my case 'Oki', is exactly the same spelling and case. When I put in OKI it didn't work. I had to put in 'Oki' as in my Printers folder.

I have a C4240 All-in-One printer and am getting an error message on the display panel "carriage Jam". I have not given this printer any kind of abuse. I do leave it turned on but hardly ever print to it. I have replace the cartridges probably twice since i have owned it. Can you help me out as to what I should do with the printer

Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
Here ard a few areas to spend time with
http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/
http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
http://support.apple.com/videos/
http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch as you learn to use your iMac.
Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.

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

my printer won't print I just replaced the ink. I tried to trouble shoot the printer, and it said that I had a printer error in the que.
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
ink jet.

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?

HP 3210 All-in-One Printer and Vista

Having trouble with HP 3210 All-in-One Printer/Scanner. Purchased printer late 2006. Upgraded to Vista in February 2008. All functions of the Printer/Scanner have been working just fine with Vista until this month. Error message says 'Unable to Scan or Copy'. Scanned from computer on 12/01/2008 and a week later the error message appeared. Print function from the computer works fine. Buttons on front of the printer for both scan and copy will not work and scanning from the computer will not work. Have tried suggestions from different websites to work-around using a program like Microsoft's Paint but still nothing. Any suggestions will be welcomed.

Resizing and cropping are not the same process.
Image>resize>image size brings up a dialog where you can resize, and if the image is resampled, distortion may ensue.
The crop tool is said, by some, to resample as well, although in many instances minor distortion is not noticed by the uninitiated..
The preferred way (for me) to crop is Image>crop.
If you have a 4x6" picture of a tree, landscape mode, and wish to display the tree in portrait mode, the sure way to avoid the issue is to select the tree with one of the selection tools, then copy/paste it on a canvas which is sized 4x6" portrait mode.

HT2693 Kodak All-in-One printer and Airprint?

Can a Kodak All-in-One printer run with Airprint? Is there a device that adds Airprint and Airplay to devices that do not have that feature?

Kodak does not appear in the list of Compatible Air Print Manufactuers in the following link:
AirPrint Basics.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
With that said, there are several alternatives both software and hardware based to give non Airprint compatible printers the ability to be used by iPads, iPhones and other iDevices.
If you are running a Mac Pc you can look into Printopia

If you are more interested in a hardware solution look into Air Print servers such as:

I have a hp7250 all in one printer and it just stopped printing hp printer says radio not working

i have a hp 7250 all in one printer it just stopped printing my compute says its offline but when i go to pinter and try set up it says cannoct connect then review says raido not working

If that reset did not resolve the issue, and the printout indicates that the wireless radio is not working then there are a few options that we can go through.
First, make sure that through the Setup Menu that the wireless has been enabled and turned on. If these options are not available, you may have to try a differnet reset that I will PM to you.
Also, if the wireless radio is not functional then you might consider connecting the printer directly to the router using an Ethernet cord and reinstalling the printer on your computer using that method of communication.
Let me know! Happy holiday!

LexMark Printer and Snow Leopard

IMac with Mac OSX (10.5) was working well with my Lexmark all in one Printer (Prevail Pro 705). I updated operating system to Snow Leopard and now cannot print. Tried to reinstall the printer software and got message indicating a newer version already exists on the hard drive. Then went to LexMark and downloaded latest driver and firmware update... still no luck. the error message says I need to download appropriate software....

To uninstall the Lexmark software, please click on the link UNINSTALL.Then remove the remaining files. Just click on the link on how to remove thefiles.
Then download the software again for the Lexmark Pro705 for MAC 10.6 at this link: http://bit.ly/zlfV4z
Hope this helps.

Iphoto 11 and Snow Leopard - problems

With iphoto 11 and Snow Leopard, I now have a complete mess. Most of my photos and events are totally mixed up, out of any recognizable order.

Make sure iPhoto is fully up to date (version 9.1.3), Load your iPhoto library backup and convert your library again
Or provide a lot more information than "my library is a mess" - maybe there is some assistance that someone can give you if they know more

HP psc 1210 all-in-one printer and Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)

I just installed the new OS X (Mavericks) on my mac yesterday, and now my printer, an old but reliable HP psc 1210 all-in-one, will not install. I was previously running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopord) and had no problems with the printer. Is there anything I can do to install my printer on the new OS? My computer doesn't even recognize that there is a printer connected via USB when I try to install it... is there anything I can do?

Hello,
Here is a link to a support document on hp.com on how to install on OS X Mavericks.
