Canon MX882 for Mac OS X 10.8.4

Hello,
I am trying to print pdf files from a Canon MX882 from a macbook air, but it takes a while for the document to spool. Other printers that have been used on this computer don't have the same issue with pdfs. The MX882 takes awhile to spool because it seems to make the document larger than it is. One pdf page printing on an HP printer yields 200kb yet on the Canon it's 11mb. I have tried installing the latest driver from the website and also tried the CUPS driver, but I wasn't able to locate the CUPS driver after installing the pkg. The only way I can get any pdf file to print faster is if I check print as image within Adobe and change the dpi to <150. The printout is legible, but not as crisp as it should be. Are there alternative drivers I can try with the Mac either generic or from another model?

Hi BigGulps,
The latest CUPS as well as other required driver files for the printer can be downloaded from the Canon USA website. The following link will take you to the initial download page for your PIXMA MX882:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_series/pixma_mx882#Dr...
Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that your operating system type is selected correctly in the OPERATING SYSTEM field. If it is not, please select your operating system from the drop-down field.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "DRIVERS" section and click the MINI MASTER SETUP file. This will download the CUPS as well as all other required driver files for the printer. When you do, another page will appear giving details of the file you are about to download will appear.
3. Please scroll down on the Details page and agree to the terms of the disclaimer message to continue with the download process by clicking on the "I AGREE - BEGIN DOWNLOAD" button. After clicking the "I AGREE - BEGIN DOWNLOAD" button, follow the instructions to download and install the driver.
Hope this helps!

Canon iR3220 for mac OS X 10.5.8

hi im having difficulty connecting the office copier iR 3220n to my macbook on OS X 10.5.8! someone help =/ i have zero clue about copiers and computers.

I am assuming you have the iR C3220. I don't know of an iR3220. The C indicates it is colour capable. If you definitely have the iR C3220, then there are a number of things to note.
The first is that there were a couple of options with regards to the print controller. There is the internal Canon print board and the external imagePASS (Fiery) print controller. The imagePASS is a white metal box that usually hangs on the back of the copier. It will have a cable that connects to your network and two cables that connect between itself and the copier.
If you have the imagePASS and have been using the Canon board printer drivers, then that would explain your printing trouble.
Could you check if you do have the imagePASS. I can then reply with the appropriate driver link and the steps you need to configure the print queue.

Help for using camera raw in PSE 8/Bridge for Mac for the Canon 7D

Recently purchasing the Canon 7D, taking a few test photos in Raw, then trying to use Camera Raw in PSE8/Bridge for Mac is a problem. I cannot figure it out. Can anyone help this frustrated, novice computer user?

You need to update the camera raw plug-in for bridge and PSE 8 separately (they use two different copies). In Bridge, just go to Help>Updates which will install, I think, ACR 5.7, which works with your camera. (You can't update bridge beyond that version).
For PSE 8, go here, download the latest version and follow the instructions in the readme file.

Note that the directions may tell you that you can overwrite the old plug-in. That isn't true--you must remove it before putting the new one in there.

I have a Canon MX882 and more often than note get an error message saying the printer is not connected. I check the printer and the get the message that the access point is accessed. I have reloaded the software and it worked for awhile. Any ideas?

I have a Canon MX882 printer and more often than note get an error message that says "Printer not Connected." When I check the printer itself, I get confirmation that the access point is connected. I tried reloading the software and that seemed to have solved the problem for awhile but I'm experiencing the same problem. Any ideas what is causing this?

Did you delete all receipts with iDVD in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder before installing the new copy? If not then do so and delete the new application also.

I am running my canon camera on the EOS utility program for mac, and i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut to start video recording, instead of using the mouse.

I am using EOS utility for MAC to run my canon camera at work. I have a foot switch connected to my macbook that allows me to take snapshots with my foot while i work ( i am a dentist and i have my camera hooked to a microscope). the way i did that is by programming a keyboard shortcut that snaps photos on EOS utility, to the foot switch software.
So my question is: On EOS there is a video recording function, so i was wondering if there is a keyboard shortcut or if i can create a keyboard shortcut for the start/stop record function for video recording..

Elements 10 for MAC cannot print 8x10 on Canon mp970?

Elements 10 for MAC cannot print 8x10 photos on a Canon MP970 printer . I get a box that says can only print at 220 resolution. What should I do?

That's not quite what it's saying. It's tell you that at the physical size you chose (presumably 8 x10) your photo has fewer than 220 pixels per inch. So you can print 8 x 10 but the quality may not be first rate, since the original image just doesn't have enough pixels in it to print at that size with more pixel density.

Need Photoshop Elements RAW plugin for Canon 70D using MAC

Need Photoshop Elements RAW plugin for Canon 70D using MAC - please advise where I can find it to download. Thanks.

To work with the Canon 70D, you will need Camera Raw version 8.2 or later:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
In order to work with this version of Camera Raw, you will need Photoshop Elements 12:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
If you do not have Photoshop Elements 12, you can use the DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG, which will then work in whatever version of Photoshop Elements you have:

Need to get Canon Scanner Lide210 to be in scanner list in PSE10 for Mac

I have just upgraded from PSE9-Mac to PSE10-Mac on MacOS 10.7.2. I have a CanoScan Lide210 and have enjoyed using the import feature in PSE9 and my Canon scanner for importing images. I recall it being a process for the scanner to be placed in the list when installing PSE9, but can't seem to find where this process occurs. I despise using the clunky scanning interface from Canon, and have really enjoyed the feature in PSE9. I upgraded because I was having some lock-up issues during import and figured a newer version might help. Thanks!

Thanks..I have copied over and posted where you led me. I just spent a lot of time with Nidhaal from Chat at Adobe and he was unable to help. Though I can now see my scanner in the drop-down list, it will not open a preview or scan window in PSE10. He has recommended using PhotoBooth or other scanning interfaces to capture, then import and edit within PSE10. I am frustrated by the extra, clumsy steps to do something I have been doing for thousands of photos over the past couple of years. I, at least, want to create a process that is reasonably tried-and-true from other MacOS/PSE users. I appreciate the direction you've given me.

Photos for mac does not see my Canon XT1

Canon XT1, how does one import photo's from this camera into Photos for Mac? No problem with Aperture.....

I have an SD card from an Olympus OMD, in Aperture it always recognized the card at the Import tab, Photos shows this in finder but the folder is grayed out and I cannot import the pictures. I hope this will be addressed soon, it's very inconvenient.

Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac OS 10.10: Installation Failed error message.

Camera Raw 6.7 Update for Mac: Installation Failed error message. Update downloaded directly from Adobe website. Newly purchased Mac Workbook Pro, OS 10.10, using Photoshop CS5. Other updates successfully accomplished. Camera Raw 6.7 Update was downloaded multiple times with multiple installation attempts. Any recommendations?

thanks for the prompt response...i appreciate it. according to the link you listed, that's correct. the strange thing is that prior to the upgrad to mac os 10.8.4, photoshop CS5 was working just fine and i was able to open my canon raw files with my current camera raw plug-in version 6.7 which adobe has indicated is the last camera raw update they'll be offering for cs 5
so it's clearly an issue related to the "upgrade" of the os. seems like every solution creates 6 new problems...further evidence for the notion that if it ain't broke don't fix it! thanks again.

PSE 12 for Mac doesn't see my scanner

PSE12 for Mac refused to work with my scanner. In preferences I checked "Additional Plug-Ins Folder" and selected the Optional Plug-Ins Folder which contains the TWAIN.plugin. I restarted the PSE and the File> Import... command remains dimmed out. Tried resstarting the iMac and PSE still doesn't see the scanner. PSE 11 used to recognize the scanner right away. I hope this isn't a permanent change in PSE 12!
Thanks for any help!
OS X 10.8.5
Canon 8800F Scanner
TWAIN.plugin v12.0.4x001

Hi Barbara - I reinstalled PSE 11 on my iMac and verified that it still works with the Canon 8800F scanner. I also installed PSE 12 on my Macbook Air, moved the Twain plug into the right spot, and found that it doesn't see the scanner either. Preview on the Macbook does see the scanner OK so it's not a connection problem there either.
I noticed that the Twain plugins in PSE 11 and 12 are the same version but different sizes. The get info windows for the two versions of PSE on the iMac (Kahawalu) and the PSE 12 on the Airbook (Niumalu) are below. Would you be able to let me know the PSE 12 Twain file version and file size that is working with your Canon scanner? It might help narrow this thing down.
Thanks again for your assistance! William

Printing with PSE 8 for Mac

Hi,
hope some of you may give me some help.
Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
Thanks for any advice,
dangerly

My printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.
