Canon MX860 get error 300 when printing wirelessly from MacBook Pro

I've been printing wirelessly for several years and most recently after an upgrade to OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite it was printing fine until this morning. Something changed and I get error 300 when I try to print. If I connect my MacBook to the Canon MX860 printer using the USB cord it prints fine so I'm assuming it's some sort of wireless connection issue. I powered down and up both the printer and the Macbook and still get the error. I tried the "Reset Printer System" from the System Preferences and now I can't add the printer back in. I tried using the CD that came with the printer to reinstall the wireless connection and the set-up program says it's incompatible with my operating system and refuses to run. Any assistance to help me print wirelessly again would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

After further investigation, we believe this is due to an intermittent  modem problem and is not the fault of the printer or MacBook.

    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

  • Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer

    Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer using wireless router.
    I am having trouble setting this up? help? suggestions?

    > Printer is showing its location as a direct connection via USB
    But it's on the PC right ? So it's a shared network printer with a Spooler (this is how it should be configured using Prnter Setup Utility ...)
    > If I click to run dic utility there are no clickable options... only lists calculate image checksum.
    Once Disc Utility is launched, select your local hard drive then the [Repair Permissions] button bottom left will light up.

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks

    I cannot get my new MacBook Pro (using OSX Mavericks) to communicate with my HP Officejet4500 Wireless.  I can print when I use a connecting USB cable, but cannot print wirelessly.  All of my Mac software updates are current as of 4/20/2014, which included an update for HP printers.  When I used the disk to install the printer software, it did not have a screen for entering my wireless router ID or passcode.  In the Mac System Preferences for Print and Scan, my Officejet 4500 G510n-z is listed, but to no avail.  What do I have to do to get my Mac to print wirelessly?  Thanks.

    OK, thanks for that.  It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
    1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test.  Is the printer connected to the network?  If it is not:
         a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
         b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
    2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
         Restart your Mac.
    3. Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • Help printing wirelessly from MacBook Pro to Canon MP640?

    I can't print from my new MacBook Pro (running 10.9.1) to my Canon MP640. I installed the latest driver (10.84.2.0) correctly, I think, and the printer has WiFi connection and I can print via a PC on my wireless network, but MacBook doesn't see it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi bannyx,
    I hate to hear you are having issues.  Does the printer have a valid IP address when connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?  Click Here for steps to take related to this issue. Please see the below information regarding the connection types for this printer.  Also I need a bit more information to proceed if the above link does not resolve the issue.
    Needed information:
    1.  Has the installation been completed from a disk or download?
    2.  Did the installation software detect the networked printer?
    2.  What is the IP of the printer when connected with Ethernet cable?
    3.  Are you able to access the embedded web server for the printer (type IP into address bar of web browser, does printer web page pull)?
    4.  Do you have security software running on the computer?
    5.  Is the router running in mixed mode?
    Connection information:
    1. Ethernet and wireless connectivity are exclusive.  If the device is hard wired with an Ethernet cable, wireless communication is voided (radio disabled) because the printer is networked with a cable. 
    2. Disconnecting the USB cable puts the driver in an offline state due to the fact it cannot communicate with the printer.  This is normal; it basically informs the user the device is not communicating. 
    Hope this helps!

  • Printing Wirelessly from MacBook Pro

    Just got a MacBook Pro a few weeks ago. We have an HP PhotoSmart C7180 wireless printer, and I can't figure out how to "connect" the MacBook to the printer wirelessly. The MacBook recognizes the printer when I plug it in, and I connected the printer to my FIOS wireless network that I have. However, when I go to print wirelessly, I get a message saying my printer is off-line.
    I no longer use my AirPort Extreme Base Station because you don't need it with FIOS, which comes with its own wireless network. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Try deleting the printer from the Printers setting (the one that you set up when it's connected directly to your Mac). And then, add a new printer, it should find your printer in the network (if it's connected to the network properly). Add that printer and choose the correct driver.

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530 get message printer offline

    Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530, get error message that "printer is offline"
    Thanks for the help.

    Hey @Geneferg,
    Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. Because your printer shows connected on the Wireless Test Report, I am going to have you run some standard Mac troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve this issue.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
    First, it's important to have a nice clean slate to work with. Therefore, I am going to have you remove and uninstall the software and drivers for your HP Envy.
    To start, can I please have you click here and run through the steps on how to Reset the Print System for your computer. Please run through the steps on 'Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X v10.5.x or 10.6.x'. This will remove every printer from your computer. However, this does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, if you use other printers on your Mac computer simply ensure that the printer is connected through the USB Cable or network connected and (+) add the printer back in via the Print & Scan window. Do not add your HP Envy back in at this time.
    Next, please click here and follow through with the uninstall steps under the 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' dropdown.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    Go to the Utilities Folder
    Open the Disk Utility
    Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
    Select Verify Disk Permissions
    Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
    Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
    Go to Apple
    Select System Preferences
    Select Software Update
    Click Update Now
    Install your available updates
    Restart your computer
    Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
    Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
    Once the website opens, select the Download button on the top left
    Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to reinstall your wireless printer
    Once your printer has been successfully reinstalled please test the printing function again to verify if the 'offline' issue has been resolved.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • Help get rid of Bing search engine from macbook pro os 10.7.5

    Help me get rid of Bing search engine from macbook pro os 10.7.5

    You installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
    Step 1
    In the Applications folder, there may (or may not) be an application named "Genieo". Genieo may be partially installed even if this item is absent. If it's present, select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that the Version is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
    There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
    This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
    Step 2
    Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you didn't find the Genieo application, or if you couldn't complete Step 1 for any reason, stop here and ask for instructions.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.
    If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
    /usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
    /usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
    ~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
    Step 3
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the perpetrator of the scam sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run the provided uninstaller, while lying about what it does. As he knows and intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware.

  • Idle printing message when printing wirelessly from a Mac - HP Officejet 6600

    I am having an issue with my HP Officejet 6600.  When I try to print from my Macbook Pro I keep getting an idle message on the print screen.  It is showing that it is connected, but will not print.  In addtion I have been able to wireless scan to my computer from the printer and test print from the utilities window on my Mac.  This problem is baffling because it was able to print last week and now can't.  Also the printer will print wirelessly from my PC, but not the Mac.  Please help.

    Let's set a static IP address and external DNS for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

    Had to switch MacBooks Now when I reinstall my adobe products onto the new computer I get an Error message (error #6) when I try and reinstall the programs (drag and drop) from my time machine backup onto my new computer. Im running what I believe is the adobe design suite CS 5.1 (It was purchased on disk in mid 2011) and the new computer does not have a disk drive to reinstall it that way

    Restoring from Time Machine backups never works. It usually breaks the licensing mechanism.

    Last time I checked for an update was about 2 weeks ago and there were no errors reported. However, today I wanted to update iTunes to version 10.7 and decided to use the standalone installer rather than the SU version. Still, I decided to run the MAS Software Update function in order to ensure that my computer had all its software up-to-date and then I get this message. I don't think that me installing iTunes is to blame. Probably, it could be an internet connection problem on Apple's end I am still submitting a bug report to Apple.

  • Get error msg when opening iphoto from Photoshop: "Open iphoto 5 or later..

    I get an error msg when trying to open a photo in iPhoto from Photoshop: "Open iPhoto 5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list." ... but in info it says I have iPhoto '08.... I am confused.... what is iPhoto 5, and how is it different than iPhoto '08? I have not had this issue before today.... previously it was working fine.
    Please email me when answered as it took me a while to find this forum and I'm afraid I won't be able to find it again.
    Thanks,

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
