Canon PIxma all-in-ones?

I have a friend who's just upgrading to a new iMac G5, and she has an older HP all-in-one unit. (Yes, I have told her and told her and told her about 1. all-in-ones and 2. HP, and she's had nothing but trouble, but…). Anyway, I figure the odds are overwhelming that she's not going to get the thing to work right with the new computer (it never did with the old one, so why should it now?), and she's dead set on an all-in-one. I was looking at the Canon Pixma 450 and 500 models. Anybody have any input on those, or on another good option for her?
iSight iMac 2.1, flat panel imac 700, ibook G4 1G, Performa 6116CD Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I purchased the MP-500. It is very good. I have had no troubles. Very Mac friendly and even the additional software loaded is Mac friendly. I am up to date in Tiger and everything went fine.

Macbook Air: connecting Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer

I purchased my Macbook Air a few months ago, and I selected theCanon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to go along with it. I have tried to install the printer a few times in various ways. Initially, I used my Macbook Air superdrive to attempt to load my new printer with the included disk. However, installation requires that the printer be connected to the Macbook via USB. Since the superdrive was occupying my only USB, I tried to connect my printer wirelessly with another computer. The laptop I used was not a Mac, and I simply could not get his computer to recognize the disk for my Macbook. So I tried something else; I borrowed my school libraries USB splitter in a last attempt to connect them both to my Macbook Air at the same time. However the superdrive does not react when not directly connected to the computer...
In short, I cannot find a way to connect my Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to my Macbook Air.
Help?

Connect the SuperDrive to the computer, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create an image of the installation disk, disconnect the SuperDrive, plug in the printer, and install the software from the image.

Canon MG2200 All-In One won't scan?

This is really frustrating me.
Originally, i had purchased a PIXMA MG2100 All-In One printer and it worked fine. One day, however, the scanner stops working. Next the printer won't connect at all, and after some e-mails with customer support they send me a PIXMA MG2200 to replace the other, which had some problem needing factory repair.
After uninstalling and re-installing the new one, everything seems fine until i see that the scanner still won't work. I've tried it on my desktop and laptop, but it gives me the same error that says it's warming up, stops, then there's a connection problem, the scanner might be off or busy, USB connection error, please turn off and try again and scanner will shut off...yadda yadda yadda.
I've tried re-intsalling the drivers, checking for error codes on the printer screen, buying a new USB cable, changing the nearly-empty ink cartriges to new ones -- nothing works. I'm tempted to just throw the thing away and getting a different brand. I really need the scanner for what i do.
Does anyone have any solutions to make the stupid thing work? I don't understand why it won't. My last hope is buying another USB because the first one i used ended up being bust. The second one worked but only for the printer. It's not old, i got it with the printer last time, but it failed to solve the connection problem.
I use Windows 7 x64 btw. Windows XP on the desktop.

I GOT IT TO WORK.
I don't know if this will work for you adriftwaterbaby, but i bought a new cord and made it autoscan while it was doing that operation stuff right after turning it on.
I tried it with the old cord, and if i scan while it's doing its business, it works.
This is really stupid, and i'm afraid i'm going to have to change brands next time i buy a printer.

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.

All-in-one printer?

does anyone have any suggestions for an all-in-one laser printer/fax/scanner? my wife's setting up a home office with the new iMac, and we're looking to get an all-in-one to go with it. so far i've been seeing bad reviews for HP's machines, and canon not offering support for macs.
any suggestions?

I just logged onto my account at Consumer Reports (Private organization that runs independent tests on all kinds of products) and the top rated multi function printer that suites all of your needs is the Canon Pixma All in One MP780 http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelTechSpecsAct&fcategoryid=12 3&modelid=10444
This unit is rated excellent in the areas of text quality and photo quality. Also it is excellent overall.
Canon DOES Have Mac OS X Intel drivers for download! On the Canon USA website go under Downloads and you can navigate to a list of drivers, of which include a universal one for Intel and Power PC Macs.
Canon is actually one of the first companies to release drivers, I am suprised after seeing that!
PS - I owned an Epson All-in-One and I dont reccomend getting one of those, after a couple of months the quality goes down, and universal drivers arent out yet.
Hope this helps you..

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?

All in One printer issue with Windows 8.1 update

Hi all,
Hoping someone out there may be able to help with the following.
I have a Canon MG8250 all in one printer/scanner. All was fine on Windows 8, but then upgraded to 8.1 a couple of weeks ago. Just got round to using the printer and scanner and the printer wouldn't work (scanner was fine). Uninstalled MP drivers and reinstalled from Canon site and all seemed fine with the printing. Alas the scanner now would not work. Did the same, uninstalled MP Navigator Ex and reinstalled from Canon site, but no fix this time. PC says "Cannot start MP Navigator Ex" and printer says "Set PC to start scanning".
Anybody know how to fix?
Thanks,
Peter

Buying new all-in-one printer- canon pixma series?

hi!
i really wanna replace my hp 5610 with a better, faster printer.
* fax
* duplex (feeder ofc) scanner
* duplex printing
* five ink cartridges (not combined)
* network access: ethernet OR wifi. which will connect to the router; wireless or wired.
**cheap black ink**
well, i checked out canon pixma series. the real problem is that i dont know what "mac support" mean. at my hp 5610, hp say the printer is mac cimpatible. but as i worked with windows and mac, i can honestly say the mac support is as good as nothing... just to add "mac supported" at the features.
i am a student so i will print much @ black. plus i always scan my papers so i really need duplex scaning too.
what do you say about the canon pixma mx860 model?
if you can recommend other models (*not HP!!!!*) i will love to know.
thanks!

I would actually recommend the [PIXMA MX870|http://www.canon.com.au/en-AU/For-You/Printers/PIXMA-InkJet-Printers/MX870].
It has 5 individual tanks with a high volume black tank for text printing.
Duplex document feeder
Wireless or Ethernet support
Mac OS X printer and scanner driver included as part of Apple Software Update
well my hp (which *****) also have "mac support" via apple software update. the peoblem is that its features lacking and even the simplest operations like increasing brightness/contrast are missing.
i would prefer the manufacturer's software is its full featured + ofc mac supported.
Bruce De Benedictis wrote:
I am very happy with my MX 850, a predecessor. I use it for most of my printing, except that I have a color laser printer for really big jobs. I suspect that the cost of consumables is comparable on both printers, as 5-8 ink cartridges print about the same as a laser cartridge, and cost about the same as well. Maybe the laser is a bit more expensive, when the other consumables are taken into account.
Scanning is very convenient. I also use the printer as a card reader, although the computer cannot write to them.
do you use canons software or the apple built-in? can you set a new profile with higher brightness+higher contrast?
what about the duplex feature? for scanning? works well? fast? those kind of details usually arent taking into consideration either at specs nor reviews

Canon all-in-one printer can't print? Please, help

Hello.
I recently bought a Canon Pixma MG3550 all-in-one printer. I didn't get a USB cable in the package so i decided to connect it wirelessly. I tried everything but it just couldn't connect. So, I went to the store and bought a USB cable for printer. I connected my printer with this USB cable and installed drivers from the CD that came with printer. Everything went fine but when it came to the part where I can print test page I clicked 'Execute' and nothing happened. I gave up that and clicked next. When I tried to print a picture it says: 'Windows photo viewer encountered a problem printing your picture. Trying reinstalling your printer, and then try again.' When I tried printing a PDF document nothing happened.
So, my computer (Windows 7, 32 bit) recognizes this printer in Devices and Printers and it's set to deafult printer, but when i click 'Printing Preferences' it says 'Operation could not be completed' and when I click printer properites, it says: 'The Canon MG3500 series printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properites will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?'. If I click Yes, the Add printer driver wizard shows up, but when i go through it and finish it it's still the same. Also, if I click 'Print test page', it says: 'Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance? Access is denied.'
Then, if I go to troubleshooter it says that everything is fine. When I go to Canon Quick Menu and click 'Start my printer' it says 'the supported printer cannot be detected' but when I go to 'Diagnose and Repair Printer' it says that everything is okay.
I don't know what to do. I tried reinstalling driver thousands of times, I downloaded drivers from this site and everything, but it's all the same. Also, every time I turn on my printer on button I hear some weird noises two times about 5-10 seconds altogether. I don't know if this is related somehow, but I don't think that my device is broken because it can connect to pc and scanning works perfectly, but printing and copying doesn't.
Please help me, I'm desperate. I'm trying so hard but everything is the same and I'm so tired of this.
Thank you.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope this helps.

Are there any Canon all-in-one printers compatible with Yosemite v.10.10 and Windows 7?

My current Canon Pixma MX850 printer just died. I'm looking for an All-in-One, preferably Canon, printer that is compatible with Yosemite version 10.10 and Windows 7. I have spent this weekend researching with no matches. They all cover v.10.9 but nothing higher. I'm desperate for a replacement for our business. I was just about to order the Canon Pixma MX922 when I caught the specs.
I'm needing the following functions:
ADF with 2 sided ADF scanning/printing
Ethernet
Wi-Fi certificate
Wireless
Auto 2 sided printing
AirPrint and (google) iCloud print would be an add-on but not necessary.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The MX922 (known as the MX926 in Australia) is supported by 10.10 and Windows 7. Whatever site you were looking at may not have updated their details. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site showing the drivers and applications for this model for 10.10.

Snow leopard and Canon pixma pro drivers, which one is it recognizing?

I have a new MacBook Pro. I print with Canon Pixma Pro 9000 and 9500.
My question is regarding the print drivers.
I plug both Pixma pros in and the computer recognizes them.
However, I also downloaded the latest print drivers for the two print drivers off the Canon website.
Which printer driver is the computer using? The one that somehow comes with the computer or the one I downloaded from Canon.
Or does it matter? My concern is that I want the paper profiles to be correct.

Can anyone positivly confirm that they have got this printer to work with 10.5.6? I have downlaosed latest drivers from Canon and Apple (on the apple list is says Canon Pro9000 Series II but omits the word PIXMA - and when I get this into the PRINT USING box on add printer and hit 'Add' nothing happens.
We have the Pro 9500 II that we use for proofing and I've got it on a 10.6.5 Mac and it's using the v10.36.2.0 driver that it downloaded from Apple when I connected it.
If your Mac does not see or let you add the printer after manually browsing to it then something is amiss with your Mac. I suggest you try a reset of the printing system using the following procedure.
1. Unplug the Pro9000 USB cable from the Mac
2. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
3. Move your mouse over the Printers list
4. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse
5. Click the "Reset printing system ..." popup
6. Restart your Mac
7. Reconnect the Pro9000 USB cable to the Mac
The Mac should automatically add the printer to the Print & Fax pane, assuming the printer is being seen by the Mac - and you are definitely connecting the USB cable of the Pro9000 directly to the Mac.
If the Mac does not add the printer automatically then open System Profiler (Applications > Utilities) and select the USB entry under Hardware in the left pane. The right pane will then show all the USB busses on the Mac. The printer should be shown connected to one of these busses. If it is not shown then try another USB cable and another USB socket on the Mac.
