Since Canon does not care about Linux, there are only two chances:
1. Undigging something usable out of Canon's japanese FTP site (not too likely).
For the moment, nothing is in there:
ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/multipass/
2. Warm up the 29.95 euros in your pocket and hope the next Turboprint version will support the printer part of it (that's more likely).
As for the scanner part, things look bleak...
The hardcore solution: Install Vmware player (free), ask a friend of yours with a full VMware licence to create for you a windows (any supported, or any you have a licence for...) virtual machine, and use that one to print/scan with the Canon drivers for windows... I know it sounds absolutely ugly, but blame Canon for that.

  • Canon PIXMA MP170

    I have an iMac 20" Intel Core Duo, and a Canon PIXMA MP170 attached to it. I am able to print correctly, however the scanner does not work....
    I have been to the Canon website and downloaded all their latest drivers and still the scanner does not work!
    I downloaded the MP Navigator 2.0 to try and fix the problem, but an error message pops up - "The scanner driver supported by this software is not installed. Install it and then re-try."
    I'm stuck on what to do....any help would be great! Thanks in advance!

    I am having the same problem. I used the MP170 and ImageCapture to scan just a few days ago then yesterday, 9/15, neither ImageCapture nor the printer utility could access the scanner.
    I tried deleting and reinstalling the drivers. No luck.
    The MP170 prints fine but nothing will get the scanner to respond.

    Hi ishmakov,
    The PIXMA MP170 is not supported with Mac OSX v10.9, that is why you are experiencing this error.

  • Is Canon PIXMA MG8220 supported by Easy-PhotoPrint Pro? Can several printer drives coexist?

    According to the Canon site, Easy-PhotoPrint Pro supports PIXMA MG8220, but when the former is automated from Photoshop CC in MacBook Pro it does not find any supported driver. Canon helpers do not answer this question flatly. Would any one know the answer for good? Then, I would like to know where to find which printer drivers are running in that computer, the matter being that I have installed, most certainly unwisely, several.
    Thanks for any answer

    Hello again Learner. I am not directly using your equipment, but will throw out ieas until someone with more knowledge provides some input.
    I attached a few links that might help. In addition I attached a screen shot from Print Studio Pro. Yours should be similar. Are you saying that your printer doesn't show up in the EPPP dropdown?
    Are you able to print directly from Photoshop?

  • CANON PIXMA MX397 SUPPORT CODE 5B02

    pls help me with my canon printer pixma mx397...at first, it said that ink waste pas was full so i just clicked the ok button on the machine. but when i tried  nozzle check or deep cleening, it said "Printer error has occurred. support code 5B02" how can i fix this problem?
    thanks and God bless!

    Ebony,  I'll spell out specifically what could be inferred from my post.  11 inch paper works, 10.3 inch paper fails.  I'm not sure at what point between those two lengths the failure begins.  Some experimentation with various lengths could more precisely determine that, but Canon should do that research themselves.  The point is that it makes no sense to me that this limitation exists.  The mechanism should continually feed whatever size, within reason, that is fed as long as it detects more pages.  Obviously as some point the doc will be too short to feed correctly, but a difference of seven tenths of an inch is reasonable to expect functionality to continue.  Having 42 years of software development behind me, I really feel this issue can be fixed programaticly, be it driver or application.

  • Printing to Canon Pixma MP170 on Airport Express from Windows XP

    I got a Canon MP170 basically for free with the rebates.
    Connected to my Airport Express, installed the drivers on my PowerMac and I can print just fine (I am aware that the scanner will only work when connected directly - which also works fine).
    Now I installed the drivers on Windows XP, then added a new printer, selected the Standard TCP/IP port where I had my other printer on the Aiport Express before and changed the printer driver to the Canon MP170. Could not print.
    Deleted the port (only managed after deleting the printer(s) defined with it and restarting Windows ...) and created the port from scratch - Standard TCP/IP port, IP address of my Airport Express, device type Generic Network Card, raw port 9100. Won't print.
    Anybody managed to get this going?
    Thanks in advance and Best Regards,
    alex

  • Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.1 caused my Canon Pixma ip8500 printer to stop working. Canon no longer supporting this printer. Any solutions?

    Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.1 caused my Canon Pixma ip8500 printer to stop working. Canon no longer supporting this printer. Any solutions?

    Hi
    try this
    resolve my printer problem.
    with Yosemite, Apple have upgraded CUPS to 2.0, and CUPS work different. So you need to change one think in configuration.
    open terminal, and write the following commands:
    sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'
    you asked for the password for superuser
    sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
    after this check in print queue if the printer is ready and not in pause mode.
    The printer now should work, if the printer only print in B&W you need to change the configuration in CUPS web interface.
    try http://localhost:631/ ; if you receive a error telling the web interface is disabled, type in terminal services the following
    cupsctl WebInterface=yes
    after this try again http://localhost:631/ 
    after this choose in the web page "Adding Printers and Classes", bellow the CUPS for Administrators title.
    in the new page, choose manage printers; after this choose your printer.
    in the page of printer choose from the second combobox the option "set default options";
    in the option page, change the color mode from monochrome to color, and save hitting the button "set default option", you be asked for a user and password with admin privileges.
    After this your print is ok.

  • Does OS 10 support the Canon Pixma mini260 printer?

    Does OS 10.10.1 support the Canon Pixma mini260 printer?

    The last driver that Canon released for this model was for OS X 10.7 and earlier. Here is a link to that driver. You may be able to install this driver on 10.10, although Gatekeeper will block its installation due to its digital signature. So you will have to right-click on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu. You will then get the option to install the driver.

  • Can the Canon Pixma ix 6520 support manual duplex printing?

    I know that this printer doesn't support duplex printing but I was wondering how would I double side print manually with the canon pixma ix6520?
    Thanks!

    Hello thekay94.
    Manual duplex printing can be done by printing on one side at a time. 
    If you are printing from a Windows computer, please select the Duplex printing option in the Page Setup tab of the Printing Preferences menu.  If you are printing from a Mac, please use the options in the Layout menu to print the odd pages first, then load the stack back in the printer with the blank side facing you to print on the even numbered pages.
    If immediate assistance is needed, feel free to call us at 1-800-OKCANON.

  • Canon Pixma IP3000 experiences?

    I have a Canon Pixma IP3000 here, and it's an awesome printer, except when I got it (I was still on Gentoo) I couldn't get it to work properly (no duplex support, bad colour prints), so I've been using it from the windows installation on my laptop. But since Arch is so awesome, I thought maybe it can work now. So, anyone have experience with running this printer?

  • HELP!!!--- Canon Pixma MG5420 Mac OS X 10.5.8 PowerPC Universal Binary Print Driver...... ---

    Greetings Everyone!
    I am a bit miffed at the moment.
    I purchased a Canon Pixma MG5420 Print-Copy-Scan machine with the intention of using it with my Power Mac G5, PowerPC, Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    But alas. Apparently it is not to be. The box in which the printer came cleary displays the Mac Logo and the Universal Logo, the Universal Logo looking like this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary
    The Mac OS X system requirements also notate the OS X to be a minimum of 10.5.8!
    The driver CD only contains drivers for Mac OS X Intel.
    So Someone....ANYONE!....please tell me why Canon has stooped to this low level of "False Advertising"???
    Let's FLAG this issue and find out WHY!
    NEED HELP!
    ....and could use working drivers!

    IT"S OFFICIAL!---> Canon has stopped porting any of their drivers to the Universal Binary format for MAC OS X which is a combo installer for PowerPC and Intel machines.
    The MG5420 MFP that I have was released in December 2012 and they *said* that I was the first person to "complain" of this issue!....REALLY!?!?....wow...so there is no one else out there using the PowerPC platform??? I find the G5 (model M9592LL/A) to be quite adequate and useable for what I do!  I guess the engineers couldn't be bothered to "port" it to the PowerPC platform!  Listen Canon, if you don't think the PowerPC is still useable, go visit http://www.macofalltrades.com/ and watch the "trend" of what sells and what doesn't.....or maybe you should call another authority of Apple products http://www.macsales.com/ and ask what volume of PowerPC compatible parts they sell?!  
    And Canon, I know you offered to buy back this "mistake", but for the $99 I bought it at, (extra set of ink not included) I may just hold on to it and do the "workaround" of scanning to and printing from a Windows XP PC shared folder...No, Canon, I'm not completely stupid!....I set-up MFP's for my job, so I know a little bit about networking!  ...enough to be dangerous, at least!  ;-)   Any way, I just got this G5 a year or so ago and it is new to me...I probably wait a little longer and then get an Intel Mac, and THEN it will work natively with this INTEL CANON!....LOL!
    What do you think?!.....Thoughts?.....Ideas?
    Oh, and Canon.....get your "engineering" team and your marketing "box makers/printers" in Thailand to get their "info" to correspond and be accurate....that way there will be no false advertising and misrepresentation of Apple's "Intellectual Property" and "breach of contract!.....You darn well know they have an "Image" to uphold!
    https://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/maclogo.html
    CHEERS!
    PS--you better watch your back Canon on this little faux pas!....Epson might use this to their advertising advantage!....they still support Universal Binary!

  • 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

  • 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.
