Canon MX870 HELP PLEASE

Just recently my wifi printer (canon PIXMA MX870) wouldn't work when it goes to sleep. I mean that when the display goes black it will not print and on the Mac it just pauses itself when i unpause it it repauses itself and won't print. Then i have to turn it off and on again (printer) and it will print fine. Please help. I haven't change ANY settings, i just replaced the PGI-Black INK and the cyan and yellow ink is "low". Any help will be VERY much appreciated.

I'm having the same problem recently with my Canon MX870.
- Starting a new print job won't wake the printer from sleep
- Clicking "Resume Printing" on the paused printer in the OS X print queue manager sets it to "Printing" temporarily, but eventually goes back to "Paused". (the printer display doesn't change at all)
Furthermore, I've had 4 instances now where the printer has stopped a job halfway through a page. Two document and two photo prints stopped like this.
These problems are observed from two of my Macs (laptop and desktop), so I think it comes down to Software Update. I've recently been prompted to update the Canon printer driver (twice in a row, if I recall...) and also an HP print driver.
Looking in System Preferences -> Software Update -> Installed Software, I see:
On my laptop:
Date Name Version
11/4 HP Printer Software Update 2.5.2
10/25 Canon Printer Software UPdate 2.3
10/25 Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 1.0
10/25 ProKit Update 6.0.1
10/21 FaceTime
10/3/10 Xcode Update 3.2.4
9/25 Canon Printer Software Update 2.3
On my Desktop:
Date Name Version
10/30 Logic Pro 9.1.3
10/24 Java for Mac OSX 10.6 Update 3 1.0
10/24 Prokit Update 6.0.1
10/20 LED Cinema Display Software Update
10/18 Canon Printer Software Update 2.3
10/15 Canon Printer Software Update 2.3
The things they have in common are:
1. Two printer software updates for the same version (strange)
2. Java updates
3. Prokit updates
apleaka, could you check to see what updates you have? The funny thing is, I did some major printing from the Desktop on Oct 25 and didn't notice any problems, which is after all of the relevant updates...

Capturing 24p from Canon xl2 help please

Hi everyone, just looking for some help here. I should have known better abotu all this 24p stuff but want to make sure I get it right. K, I shot some footage on my XL2 at 24p and 2:3. Isn't 2:3:3:2 or Advanced mode only for if you shoot something that you are going to transfer to film. If you weren't to transfer would it have any benefits in the digital world???
Anyways, as for me, I just shot 24p standard. I capture as just DV NTSC 48 KHZ. However, I never thought of going through the easy setup and saw there was a 24p setting. However doesn't that one still just capture at 29.97. Anyways, so my timeline is set at 29.97, is this right or should it be at 24/23.98.
Also, can anyone tell me if a guy should ever play around with the feild dominance stuff. I have never but was just wondering if someone can shed a bit of light on that. Thanks.
Nathan

24p (3:2) already HAS a pulldown on it. Pulldown refers to the process of adding frames by pulling down half the field of one frame and other half of fields from the next frame adding a NEW frame. So, just to keep you straight... you need to REMOVE the pulldown, cadence or pulldown cadence (all the same.)
WARNING... 1) don't attempt if you are short of time 2) have the fear of failing 3) don't have your original material 4) don't have a FULL case of beer 5) NEED this project done right! 6) any number of things I forgot!!
SO... if you've already edited some of this there is no good way to convert what is already edited into a 23.98 sequence. So you'd have to start again.
IF you choose to proceed...
Copy and duplicate all of the material you captured just incase you mess something up.
Open Cinema Tools
Cancel out of the first (database) dialog box
File - Open... first clip
This will open a box with your video in it. Toggle thru the video. You'll see PPCCP (progressive/combined (combined frames will look interlaced)) for every 5 frames. The first C-frame is the BC combination of fields. You'll need to park your playhead on the first of the two C-frames in a group. Then, when you reverse telecine you'll mark the BC option and hit go.
Try it once and see if it works for you. You'll get the new movie open and as you frame thru each frame you shouldn't see any C-frames... they will all be progressive.
Now... open a new FCP project and import those reverse-telecined clips and start editing in 23.98 timeline/sequence.
If you ran into a problem, just duplicate the original clip back again and try again. I may have missed an important step... doing it off the top of my head.
As for shooting 24pA now... well... as I stated before... this can be less stable. The cadence is harder to add for the camera and any ANY oddity in shooting will throw off the cadence and give you a HUGE headache trying to capture it.
Don't EVER turn off your camera while recording
Don't EVER review your material and then continue shooting
Don't EVER change any setup on your camera at ANY time that might switch it to 24p even for a second
Don't EVER take the tape out.
That said you shouldn't have any problems!! Use the DV/NTSC 2:3:3:2 Cadence Removal preset for capture and your clips will indeed be 23.98 in the browser.
Good luck... don't panic.

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d

I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.

Broken Bonjour with Canon MF4350d after 10.6 upgrade - Help Please.

I have been using a Canon 4350d with no problems with 10.5.8 - including Printer Sharing (Bonjour). Now, after updating to 10.6 (now 10.6.2) I can still print fine, but I have lost all Printer Sharing. All settings appear to be right, and my other macs appear to be printing through the one connected via USB to the printer, but it never goes through. HELP Please. Thank you.

According to the UFR2 User Guide on page 2-8, the driver can be removed from the Mac by trashing the following folders. Note that you should delete the print queue first, by opening Print & Fax, selecting the MF model in the Printers list and pressing the minus button.
System Volume > Library > Printers > Canon > UFR2
System Volume > Library > Launch Agents > jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist
System Volume > Library > Printers > PPDs > Contents > Resources > en.lproj > CNTD**Z*2.ppd.gz
(where * indicates the printer model and 2 indicates the language of driver used)
With these files removed you can then empty the trash, although you may have to open Activity Monitor and stop the 'UFR II Backgrounder' service before you are able to remove all the files from the trash.
With the v2.10 driver removed you are ready to add another driver. However you need to be aware that the v1.80 driver cannot be used on 10.6. If you were using it previously then it would suggest that the 10.6 Mac was an upgrade from 10.5 rather than a clean 10.6 install. On a clean 10.6 Mac, then v1.80 driver will not operate correctly.
What you may be able to do is have the v1.80 driver installed on a Mac running Leopard and shared. You may then be able to use the v2.10 driver on the Snow Leopard Mac's to print to the Leopard share using the v1.80 driver. Note that I haven't tried this so I cannot say if this will work for you. Personally I always ensure I get a printer with Ethernet or wireless support so that I can avoid printer sharing...

My Canon 5D Mark 3 camera..I cannot download Raw files using iPhoto help please

Canon 5D Mark 3 I cannot download Raw file in iPhoto help please?

You will need OS X 10.7.4 and iPhoto 11 or Aperture 3 for this.
What do you have?

Have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop..got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still now working. Need help, please.

I have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop...got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still not working...help please.

In any event, that camera was first supported by ACR version 7.4 which needs at least CS6 to run. Naturally, all later versions support it too.
Your choice is either to upgrade your Photoshop, or to look for, download, install, launch and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each folder containing your raw Canon files to convert them first to raw DNGs that you can open in CS5.
In no case does an Adobe application belong "on your desktop". The default install location should always be respected and left alone.

HOW CAN I FIX MY PIXMA CANON WITH OUT THE CD

Help with Canon MX870 - scanner stopped working

Hi,
I bought a Canon Pixma MX870 printer/scanner a month or so ago and it was working fine up till this week. I had installed the Canon software and ran the OS X Software updpate when setting it up.
All of a sudden last week I couldn't print. It kept saying the printer couldn't be found. So I downloaded the Apple Canon printer software and reinstalled it thinking it couldn't do any harm. The printer is working again. The scanner not so much. If I do manage to get it to work (either by using the scanner from System preference > Print/Fax > and choosing open scanner or by using the MP Navigator it typically now will only work 1 time. After that it says "scanner not found" and sometimes if I close and reopen the scanner from Print/Fax it says "trying to open scanner session".
I know the MX870 is connected to the network. The blue wifi light is lit, it shows in the router's list of connected devicies, it also shows in Safari's list of Bonjour Devices.
I need this machine to scan and play nice with OS X - I need to scan more than print.
I ran Disk Warrior, ran chrons to do maintenance and fix permissions etc. I tried deleting and re- adding the scanner. That didn't work and I had to restore it from backup.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do next?
Thank you.

However, I went to take a screenshot and something very weird happened. It popped up a dialog box where the scanner was checked as shown in your screenshot with an 80.????? IP address (the ? are because I don't recall)
The 80 number would have been the MX870 wifi network address - not the IP address. The scanner selector tool does not show the device IP address, only the network address.
...asking if "Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector 2" could accept incoming connections from the network and there was a 3rd choice listing the scanner as "Canon MX870 series_3DXXXXX (where I am putting in Xs because I suspect it is a serial number).
Based on this I would guess that the firewall is enabled on your Mac and the prompt is to add an exception to for the networked MX870 (and the X's are the last digits of the wifi network address shown in the selector tool) so that communication can flow between both devices.

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. Help?

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

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.
