Canon pixma mp495 doesn't work on OS X v10.6.8 macbook pro

I just purchased this printer. I've downloaded drivers and and everything but it just doesn't seem to recognize that it's connected to the computer. Any help?

There are always things that you will read on the Internet where an author makes his issue sound like a common problem. Personally I am not aware of an issue with 10.6.8 and the Canon inkjets. There was issues with other brands on printers with snmp but this is not going to be your issue.
Given that a second cable still fails to show the printer in the Add Printer browser then it would suggest that the printer is at fault, and possibly the reason why it appears to have been returned previously. Before you do also return it you can perform one last check. You can open the utility System Profiler and under the Hardware section in the left column you will see USB. Select this entry and the top right pane will show all the USB connections on your Mac. With the printer connected it should appear under one of the Mac's USB busses. If it doesn't, then try another USB port on the Mac. Note that you should refresh the view after you make this change. If it still fails to appear then try turning off the printers power for a minute then back on again. If this still fails to make the printer appear as a USB device then take the printer back to the store.

  • My imovie doesn't work, it's a 3 month old MacBook Pro can anyone help?, my imovie doesn't work, it's a 3 month old MacBook Pro can anyone help?

    My imovie isn't working and I have never used it before.. An error code pop's up when i try,tell's me to reopen but the same error code pop's up.. Please Help, Thanks

    If iMovie won't start, one thing to try is delete the iMovie Preferences file:
    Go to your hard drive Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    Drag that file to the trash, reboot your Macintosh and try to launch iMovie again. Failing that if you can write down the error code and report that back to the Discussion Group someone else might be able to start helping with trouble-shooting the failure.

  • Canon Pixma MP495 not working with mini

    I'm trying to use the scanner on my Canon Pixma MP495 with my Mac Mini.  The printer works okay, but when I click on the scanner, I get an error that says reopeon or okay - MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly.

    I would like to add I might have the problem solved.
    I found an older Windows forum from 2009 where another person had a similar problem and it was suggested to use the add 'local printer'. Of course, the wizard set it up so not sure what it did but I did what they suggested and the scanner finally works. 
    Also, when I went to print something, the preview picture came up and the door to the printer popped open but one of my ink cartridges is out so it couldn't print.....bummer.
    At least I never got the 'driver not installed correctly' message.
    As soon as I get a chance to get some more ink and try it, I'll post the results.
    **fingers crossed it works**
    Thanks~

  • AirPrint problems and Canon PIXMA MP495

    Checking out the options on the iPhone.
    I have a Canon PIXMA MP495 printer/scanner/copier Etc.
    Works fine on the Wi-Fi (Both Mac's & PC)
    And with Canon iEPP i can print photos scans on the iPhone over the Wi-Fi.
    Now the problem selct the print option in a mail/word/pdf page and reply
    "No AirPrint Printers Found"
    Anyone else see this problem?
    Anyone got a fix?
    Currently i have a "help" call to Apple for next Wednesday 0800 GMT.
    So if no one comes back with a solution i'll report back then.
    Regards,
    S&F
    alan.

    For anyone still searching for an answer to this question (specifically about the MP495 Model), I found the following response from a Canon employee to a similar question posed on the Canon US website:
    While Canon would like to extend AirPrint support for other models, unfortunately AirPrint support will be limited to the currently announced models (PIXMA MG5320, PIXMA MG6220 and PIXMA MG8220), and most of the inkjet printers going forward. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and would hope you support our decision.
    However, you are able to print with your iPhone to the unit via the free Canon Easy-Photo Print app available through the Apple Store. The app will allow you to print pictures, but not documents.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    There are two Applications folders: /Applications (in the root level of the hard drive) and ~/Applications (in your user folder).
    If you have a look at the bottom part of the screenshot, you can see where Chess is stored, and it indicates that it's stored in /Applications, so you are looking for applications in the wrong folder.
    Open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Sidebar, and mark Applications. Then, close the Preferences window and you will be able to access to the Applications folder in the Finder sidebar. Another option would be to go to View menu (on the menu bar) and type:
    /Applications

  • Canon LBP 2900 doesn't work under Snow Leopard 10.6.3

    Canon LBP 2900 doesn't work under 10.6.3.
    It worked under 10.5.6, 10.5.7 and 10.5.8.
    The installation process is described here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10723997#10723997
    I did the same under SL but no result.
    Any suggestion?

    The procedure of using the CAPT folder from a previous version of OS X was not always successful with 10.5, let alone 10.6. For those like you that did find it worked, there were many others that found the workaround did not work for them.
    Version 3.05 of CAPT lists the following Canon printers as supported models.
    LBP9100Cdn
    LBP7200C series
    LBP5300
    LBP5100
    LBP5050 series
    LBP3500
    LBP3310
    LBP3300
    LBP3250
    LBP3150
    LBP3108
    LBP3100
    LBP3050
    LBP3018
    LBP3010
    LBP3000
    You may have more success with trying to get this driver to work with your LPB2900. At least this version has been written for 10.6.
    If this new driver does not work with the LPB2900 then another solution would be to have an old Windows XP computer connected to the LBP2900 and then use the following procedure to print to it from the Mac.

  • I own and work on two Mac computers.. a MacBook Pro and an iMac. Am I required to "purchase" the one-time in-App purchase of $4.99 TWICE, one for each computer..??

    I own and work on two Mac computers.. a MacBook Pro (dual core, 3.06GHz, 8 GBs RAM) and an iMac ((dual core, 3.06GHz, 4 GBs RAM). Am I required to "purchase" the Garageband one-time in-App purchase of $4.99 TWICE, one for each computer..??

    The answer to your question is not about the GarageBand content but the concept of downloading any apps (or in-apps purchases) from the app store. The Key is your Apple ID.
    Whenever you download an app (it doesn't matter if you pay for the app or if it is free) you have to to be logged in to the App Store with a valid Apple ID. That becomes your "Online License". Whenever you are logged in to the App Store with that Apple ID you will see your Purchase History, what apps you downloaded and also what apps have updates available. As you see, this procedure is independent from your actual computer. The App Store is only interested in your Apple ID for verification.
    To download an app or content on a different computer, just make sure you are logged in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you did for the initial purchase.
    The button will now display (instead of Free or the price tag) "Install" because the App Store knows that you purchased the item before (with that Apple ID) and that you computer you are on at the moment oesn't have th app installed. Just click the "Install" button to download the app.
    Here is how the Button looks like depending on the condition.
    The same principle applies to in-app purchases. With GarageBand, when you try to restore Purchases, make sure you are logged in in the Apple Store with the Apple ID you made the original purchase.
    One more thing: You don't need to be logged in to actually run an app, only for online activities (downloads, updates)
    Hope that helps

    I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 It's possible that something is damaged, and Apple Hardware Test will help you finding it. Make sure you tick the option to run an extended test, and connect your Mac to the charger.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to insert the Mac OS X DVD to run Apple Hardware Test. As you haven't got the SuperDrive, you will have to buy an external optical drive

  • 27" iMac (refurb, June 2011) not working as an external display for my MacBook Pro.

    I just got a 27" iMac (refurb, June 2011) and it's not working as an external display for my MacBook Pro (not Thunderbolt).  Any idea why?  Command+F2 does nothing.  I am connecting via Belkin Minidisplay Port-to-Minidisplay Port adapter.
    Any help is appreciated...thanks!

    Currently the ThunderBolt iMacs can only be used as an external display by other ThunderBolt Macs.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/30822.html
    Apple is very clear about that.
    2009 and 2010 27" iMac with a Mini DisplayPort can be used by other Macs with a MDP-to-MDP cable.

    You have to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrade - then launch iPhoto - If you had iPhoto '08 or earlier (version 7.x.x) - the upgrade is installed in the utilities folder of your Applications folder

    Choose one or more Projects, and then use Export as New Library (from File).  The resulting export will be a fully functioning Aperture Library to either transfer and open on the Macbook Pro, or to Import into a library you already have on the MBP.

  • Cannot make Canon PIXMA MX922 fax to work with "Windows Fax And Scan" on Windows 7, 8.1

    I have Canon PIXMA MX922 multifunction printer installed wireless on iMac OS X Mavericks. It works great but there is no fax drivers for Mac. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed on Parallel Desktop. I am able to print and scan on these machines. I can scan using "Windows Fax and Scan" and other programs including My Image Gardens but no luck with faxing. I can send faxes using print function and chosing a Cannon MX920 series fax driver. The problem is to recieve faxes. I've connected MX922 wireless and wired with no help.
    Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

    Hi Anton,
    thank you for your advice.
    In case this is going to fix itself in 25 hours I will check for the issue then. I'm gonna let you know whether the issues has disappeared.
    But it sounds to me a little bit, like you have been expecting that behaviour? Have you? Especially within a Lab it is very confusing to have test clients which appear fully functional 25 hours after the setup has been succeeded.
    I've followed your annotation and posted the log files on the Connect portal.
    Thx
