Canon PIXMA iP6000D

My printer is the IP6000D, a usb printer.  How do I go about getting it working?  Start at the very beginning because printing is not anything I've ever tried in Linux of any flavor.
Thanks

It might not be the answer you want to hear, but the only working solution is this:
http://www.turboprint.info/
I know it's commercial and not cheap, but so far it's the only way making most Canon Pixma's working under Linux- simply because Canon does not care issuing Linux drivers for their printers. They are some half baked ones at the japanese Canon site from time to time, but they should be classified as sort-of-working.
Greetings from a happy Pixma ip5000 user, who finally (after many too many efforts) purchased a Turboprint license...

  • I desperately need help installing Canon Pixma ip6000D printer in Windows 7 64-bit

    My software CD (drivers, etc.) will not work with Windows 7 64-bit. I have tried running it in Windows XP compatibility mode, but it says it is made for 32-bit and will not work with 64-bit. Canon's website says it has an add-on module, but it doesn't have
    the printer driver, and it says "Your printer must be installed via Microsoft Update before you download and use this module." I have tried to find a way to install the printer via Microsoft Update, But I can't find any information
    about how to do this.
    I have also done searches for the canon pixma ip6000d drivers for windows 7 64-bit, but all the results I have seen say that they are an add-on modules.
    I would GREATLY appreciate any help with this.

    After doing some more digging, I found a solution, and hopefully it will help anyone else who is having problems. Go to this page:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Install-a-printer
    You can manually install the printer by following these instructions. If the model of your printer does not show (mine didn't), click the update button. It will take several minutes (maybe longer if you have a slow internet connection), but eventually it
    will bring up a new list of printers. Just choose your printer and follow the instructions. My printer is working fine now.

  • Snow Leopard Upgrade Canon Pixma iP6000D Error 603 won't connect

    Tried everything I know how - downloaded the proprietary and open source drivers, power cycled, restarted, etc.
    Can't get my airport base station shared printer to connect. Ideas?

    Before I updated the driver and firmware, I would see the printer as a Bonjour device but when I selected it, a sheet would drop down and then disappear quickly. After the updates this window then took more time to display, showing Determining Installable Options. Is this occurring for you?
    I also found that when I selected the Gutenprint offering, even after the update, the print job took ages to spool.

  • How can I repair Canon Pixma MP550 Error B200?

    How can I repair a Canon Pixma MP550 error 200?

    Hi dlp1962uva,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you are trying to install your Canon printer after replacing your hard drive on your MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting by trying to install the drivers. I did some research on your printer, the Canon PIXMA iP6000D and it appears that this printer software is no longer available through software update.
    OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
    Additional Information
    Printer software no longer available through Software Update
    The third-party vendor no longer provides software for the following models to download and install through Software Update. Contact the vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    The The Additional Information section where I found this information is at the very bottom of this article. This printer specifically is listed as a printer that is no longer supported by software update is the list under Additional Information. I would suggest contacting Canon to see if the printer drivers are still available through them.
    I hope this helps,   
    -Joe

  • Pixma ip6000d windows 7 driver issue. How do you get one?

    Has anyone solved the windows 7 driver issue? The canon website does not have one yet is reported windows 7 capatable.

    Hello ricksterofmi,
    The PIXMA iP6000D Drivers are included with the Windows 7 Operating System through Windows Update.  Please connect the PIXMA iP6000D to your computer and automatically install the drivers.  Once this has been done, visit our website by selecting this LINK to download and install the Add On Module for full compatibility.
    I hope this helps.

  • Wrong colors with canon pixma ip 4000

    Hi!
    We have a canon pixma ip 4000 printer, that has worked fine in the past.
    Suddenly the photos printed with the printer are somewhat yellowish/greenish (especially faces or other skin). We have tried everything: Changing the cartridges, cleaning the head, reinstalling the drivers.
    Then we have called the canon-support. After 20+ minutes of trying everything they said (we have deinstalled the drivers, reinstalled new ones, tests of all different kinds) we tried the printer with another mac and we still had the same problems.
    So the canon guy said, the printer was obviously not in order and told us to send it in. We did so and received it back with the note, that no defect could be found.
    Back home we connected it to the mac and: Still the exact same problem.
    Our mac dealer said, another client has reported the same problem, but he connected the printer to a windows machine and "ta dah" it worked!
    So my question is:
    Is there a known problem with macos 10.4 and this printer (maybe a problem that came with a certain os patch?) ??
    Thanks in advance!
    Thomas

    Hello Thomas,
    I have a few Canon PIXMA's at work (iP5200R, MP600R, iP6000D, Pro 9000) and I have never experienced this output on 10.4, so I don't believe that any update/patch is at fault.
    Is there a particular application you notice this from? There has been a few postings with Aperture users re yellowish tints.
    Also, what is the color option set to in the driver? Looking at the iP6000D driver (which I believe may be a similar version) the Color Correction setting is at BJ Standard. Here you can play with the Color Balance, such as knock the yellow down.

  • Unable to print with my Canon PIXMA IP 4700 and JetDirect network appliance

    After many tries I decided to post my question.
    I have a Canon PIXMA IP 4700 connected to the network with a Jetdirect 175X box. So I tried to add a new printer with a "HP Jetdirect Socket" port. I have previously installed the driver from the official website. The test page is staying on the spooler.
    I also tried with LPD port (supported by the Jetdirect box) and IPP but nothing is working.
    When the printer is directly connected with USB, it's working fine. Printing from my others Windows computers is working fine too since many months.
    Thank your for your help.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Your problem is being caused by the Canon driver. It cannot be used when the printer is connected to the USB port of a 3rd party print server, or if shared by Windows.
    The solution is to use a driver like Gutenprint or PrintFab. Gutenprint is preferred because it is free (it ships with OS X) however the iP4700 is not listed as a supported model. The iP4600 is listed so you could try selecting this model in the Print Using menu (shown as Canon PIXMA iP4600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3). If the iP4600 Gutenprint driver does not work that well then you could look at using [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net] which does support the iP4700. It costs €49 but there is a 30 day trial so at least you can try it before committing to buying.
    Another option would be to use a Airport device, like the Express, instead of the Jetdirect print server. With the printer connected to its USB port you can then use the Canon iP4700 driver on the Mac.

  • Installed a wireless canon Pixma MX432 printer back in November for use with my Mac Book Air. All was working normally until this past week when I began getting a message, "printer not connected." What is going on? Netgear Wireless N Router seems to be ok

    My new canon Pixma MX432 printer is not printing. It was printing fine until about ten days ago. I use a Netgear Wireless N router, which is also new. What do I need to do. I get a message when trying to print that says "printer not connected." In addition, my old Gateway laptop will still print fine apparently because it has a cable connection to the printer. Puzzled!

    Have you tried rebooting the router? I would unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. Be sure you know the password etc. if that doesn't work, try unplugging and rebooting the printer. Good luck!

  • Being new to working with Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to the Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll? My husband had gotten this printer and the sales person said that it can be set up wirelessly to my Mac Book Pro

    Being new to working with a Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me step, by step on how to set up my Mac Book Pro(Mid 2012) wirelessly to a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll that my husband had gotten me? Sales person told him that it's compatiable to my Mac Book Pro, Mtn Lion, but I do not see it and I don't see how to do it wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;o)

    Hello:
    There is nothing wrong with asking questions.  There  are no dumb questions....answers, yes, but not questions. 
    If you set up your wi-fi router to establish a network, then both your printer and MacBook Pro will connect wirelessly.  *** I do not know what kind of router you possess, I don't want to suggest things that might not be relevant.

    P.S. No need to apologize!  Most of the people here (none of us are Apple employees) enjoy trying to help others.

    Have you ruled out an issue with the driver for the printer? It is possible that the material on the installation disk was developed prior to PSEv.12. I understand that everything is new, but who knows what the date of production is. You can check on Canon's web site for driver update.

  • Printing to Windows Printer (Canon Pixma iP1500)

    I have a Canon Pixma iP1500 connected to my Windows PC, shared on my home network. On my MacBook I can see the Windows PC and can even see the printer but when I add it the model doesn't show up in the list of printer types.
    If I plug in the printer directly to the MacBook it works fine but not across the network.
    I have searched the forums and found some suggestions, none of which work. I even tried something called "PrintFab" and it doesn't work either.
    This is so frustrating. I'm a new Mac user and I want to be able to print from my MacBook without having to plug it into the printer.
    Any suggestions?

    Greg
    I too am new to Mac. I downloaded and installed the printfab trial version and followed the instructions included. This problem has been driving me nuts for several days now... My MBP now see's and PRINTS great so far, thanks for your post and help!!

    Printopia is another option but be aware that since these solutions effectively act as a print server and AirPrint receiver, they require a computer to be running on the same WiFi network.
    Canon also has a couple of apps in the App Store that might facilitate this on non-AirPrint printers. Check out...

  • Canon PIXMA MP640 WiFi on Arch Linux x86_64

    I have a Canon PIXMA MP640 series multifunctional device connected wirelessly to my home router. On Windows Vista the device works flawlessly, I can print or scan without any problems. Now I decided to configure at least the printer part on my Arch Linux x86_64, which I dual-boot with Vista on the same laptop.
    I went through the Wiki entry for CUPS and SAMBA. I did install all the necessary packages, that is:
    1) cups (ver. 1.4.6), ghostscript (ver. 9.01), gsfonts (ver. 1.0.7pre44) - for CUPS
    2) cnijfilter-mp640 (ver. 3.20) and its dependencies: cnijfilter-common (ver. 3.00), lib32-libcups, lib32-popt - drivers for this particular model
    3) samba (ver. 3.5.6) and gamin (ver. 0.1.10) – for SAMBA
    Then I added cups and samba to DAEMONS section of the /etc/rc.conf file
    DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng !network @netfs @crond hal alsa wicd bluetooth laptop-mode !openntpd @cups @samba)
    copied Samba configuration file
    cp /etc/samba/smb.conf.default /etc/samba/smb.conf
    in which I changed only one entry – name of my workgroup, and then I restarted my system.
    In System Settings as root I went to Sharing→Samba and checked if everything seems fine – see print screen below.
    http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/300/samba1.png
    Then in Printer Configuration I chosed New network printer and I tried to fill all the boxes with information I have about my printer – see below. I also pointed to the specific .ppd file - /usr/share/cups/model/canonmp640.ppd.
    http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6650/samba2.png
    The printer name and it's localization I got from my router – see below.
    http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/3982/samba3.png
    As you all see on print screen No 2 I'm getting “Bad URI – need printer name” error from CUPS. I “googled” about it, but still haven't been able to solve this issue. What am I doing wrong?

    No hints??? I believe it's related to Samba. I don't know how to configure it properly, so it can find my WiFi printer.
