Canon Pixma MP500 Printer won't print with MacBook Pro

I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro to replace an older PowerBook G4 laptop. I have a relatively new printer - maybe one year old - a Pixma MP500 from Canon that worked fine with the old laptop. I can't seem to get it to work with the new MacBook. I can use it as a scanner no problem with the new laptop, but not as a printer. I installed the software from the original Canon CD, but when I go to "add printer" MP500 shows up in the list as a USB printer but won't add. When I try to add it I get a -9672 error. Anyone out there with any idea what to do?

Hi, I actually did tried doing exactly that (should have mentioned it in my first email) and just tried it once more for good measure, but I still get the error message when I go to add the printer. So, MP500 shows up in my printer name list, with USB as the connection type, and print using shows Canon IJ Printer, but when I go to add I get "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error: -9672". Help!

Canon PIXMA MX712 suddenly won't print or copy anything - no color, no B/W, not even with Deep Clean

Canon PIXMA MX712 worked great, no degradation in print quality (over last 1.5 years). Suddenly won't print or copy anything. Can't print wirelessly (from IPAd or computer) or plugged in with USB directly to laptop. Can't copy. Makes normal print head sounds and "prepares" to print. Sounds like it is working and spits out nothing but blank pages. Tried doing test print and nothing shows up on page. Tried doing a deep clean and still nothing. Tried unplugging and letting it reset and turn back on and still nothing. Tried switching out printer cartridges and still nothing. All lights are on for the print cartridges. The printer says it is ready and never received a print error. Please help me stop getting nothing but blank pages. It would seem normal to start having streaking or blotchy prints, but not just to work great one day and then stop.

I have the exact same problem ... printer is about 18 mths old ... I have done what has been suggested ... any other ideas

Has anyone setup a Canon PIXMA MP500 Photo All-in-One with Airport Extreme

Hi,
This printer is fairly well rated but I don't know if its compatible with Airport Extreme and 10.4, and if so how difficult was the set up.
Also, if you can suggest a multifunction printer that works well with Airport Extreme and 10.4, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
MK

First, Only printing works for multifunctions connected to Airport Extreme/Express.
See this:

And read through the separate Discussions forum here for Airport Extreme/Express-connected printers.

Scanning problems with Canon Pixma 5300 series after upgrading to newest Macbook Pro

Are there drivers available for Canon pixma 5300 series for OS X Mavericks 10.9?
Scanning with my brand new Macbook pro using OS X 10.9 just isn't working like it used to with my old white Macbook.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have an MG53xx? If so, then a scanner driver for this model is available from Apple so that you can scan with Image Capture / Preview. So if you open Printers and Scanners and select the MG53xx, you should have two tabs - Print and Scan.
Canon also has a scanning application called MP Navigator available from their web site. To use this application you will also need to download and install the scanner driver for the MG53xx, which should also be available from the same Canon web site.

PhotoSmart D110 won't scan with Macbook Pro

Over the past few years of upgrades to my Macbook Pro, my ability to scan from the menu on my Photosmart D110 quit working. A message says scan from the computer. That used to work, but now the application to do that has disappeared. I have downloaded new drivers, but nothing has helped. Suggestions? Thanks for any help.

Hi , I see that you are unable to scan from the printer to the computer, using Yosemite. I would be happy to help you.
The drivers for Yosemite are installed by the Apple Updates, HP Printers - Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update. There won't be a option to set in the software to Enable Scan to Computer settings with the Apple Update drivers. It can only be enabled with the Full Software from HP. But it isn't available online for Yosemite. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

IPhone won't sync with MacBook Pro

My iPhone 4s won't sync with my MacBook Pro.
Running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
iPhone 7.1
iTunes 11.1.5
Last time I synced was March 17. Can't remember if there's been updates on the phone. None on the laptop.
I'm so annoyed.
I've done the usual shutdown/on again stuff. Just can't get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Nevermind. After reading through a bunch of fixes, one suggested resetting my modem, duh!!
I certainly know to do that when the laptop is acting up, had no idea that would fix the iPhone too!!
Hope this helps someone else.

Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook. I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected. I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
I've seached the discussions without any success. Advice anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick

Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.

Projector Won't Work with MacBook Pro

I'm trying to plug my projector in my MacBook Pro but for some reason when I plug my projector into my HDMI port on my MacBook it will change resolutions, go black, change resolutions, go black, and so on. It's a cycle and will only stay on each resolution for a few seconds. I would love to get this figured out so I can stream movies on a very large screen but it has left me scratching my head. I have a new MacBook Pro Retina 2.8GHz, 16 GB RAM, and Intel Iris Pro graphics coupled with the NVIDIA graphics if this helps. Also running the latest version of Yosemite.
Thanks,
Tyler

Actatel 871 cellphone won't pair with Macbook Pro using system 10.0/4

I have a 3 month old Macbook Pro that came with Maverick on it (10.9.4) and I am unable to pair it successfully with my Actatel 871 phone which works perfectly with my iMac using system 10.6.8. It will look like it's pairing, then when I send a picture from my Actatel 871, it says "unfinished" And when I try to connect with bluetooth, it says "connection failed". Yet I can send a file from my computer to the phone using bluetooth.
My husband's Pantech Swift would not send a photo either but I figured a way around that which does work on the Actatel 871. If I open my bluetooth file exchange, do to the "file" menu, I can pick "Browse device" and that way I can get photos off his phone. When I try doing that with my phone, it says that my device is not set up for that. Using the iMac with system 10.6.8 is so easy to use, you just send the files from both phones and they arrive on my computer.
Does anyone know if the Maverick is not compatible with some phones that were compatible with 10.6.8? Or perhaps I'm doing it incorrectly? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Thank you, Martha

Hi mflembeck!
Thanks for posting!
I would like for you to check over a few things that will help me determine what is causing this.
What specific version of EOS Utility are you using?
Are you using the old configuration on the camera or have you tried forgetting those settings and starting a completely new setup?
Also, just to be sure, do you have an ethernet connection to the Macbook at the same time as you have the wireless connection?

IPhone 4s won't sync with macbook pro OS 10.7.5

I'm Duane, and I'm frustrated. My wife recently upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and gave me her 4s. It used to sync ical very well until I purchased iCloud space. I've deleted iCloud, but when I try to sync iPhone and ical (onMac Book Pro) I get this prompt: "The iPhone 'Duane…' could not me synced because this computers no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone." Then I am directed to "choose Store > Authorize this computer." Which I have done so at least four times, with no results. Can you help me?

Did you authorize your computer for all the Apple IDs used to purchase apps an other media on your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)?

Pages docs created on iPad won't sync with macbook pro

When I create a Pages document on my iPad version 1... it appears on my MacBook - but remains permanently in 'updating' status - I have some on there that were created several months ago and cannot be downloaded. If I create a doc on my MacBook, upload it to iCloud.. it syncs within seconds to my iPad.... but if I then edit it more on my iPad it appears edited on my MacBook, but again in permanent 'updating' status. Can anyone help...or will I have to make the trek to the Genius bar?

Try saving any documents that you can and then deleting them from each device where possible. Go to System preferences> iCloud> manage and delete any iWork documents that you see there. Then go to each device and turn off iCloud documents & data syncing on each.
Once everything has been removed, you can then re-enable document & data syncing on each device. Add back a couple of documents (do not add any documents that used the same name as any documents previously) and see how it goes. Once it appears to be working correctly, you can then add back all your documents.
Whilst it won't help you recover documents that have already become corrupt, can I suggest you get into the habit of backing up your documents in the cloud regularly.

I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

Thanks, PAHU, for providing the Australian site for the Canon driver. I have an MP500 and it still seemed to print fine after I downloaded Yosemite. However, as others have reported, the MP Navigator no longer performed normally in scanning. The "Save As" keys didn't align and therefore didn't work but one could still scan using an alternative method ("Scan with scanner driver" button).
In any case, my hard drive subsequently failed on this 2010 27" iMac and when it was replaced the tech installed Yosemite 10.10.1. Just tried printing this evening and it wouldn't. Advised I needed undefined "software." Got various error messages. Went to Google and read this and downloaded that to no avail. Tried the Gutenprint driver but it too didn't work. Latest error was "stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter." Had no clue what that meant! System info listing for the printer (under About this Mac, System Info) lacked any reference to permissions or a printer utility version (but I didn't notice or know significance of omissions). Finally I downloaded from the Australian site, just the print driver 10.51.2. The printer then printed!!! (The MP Navigator scanner remains flawed but works by clicking "Scan with scanner driver" rather than the normal way.) I'm holding my breath that things will continue to work.
Thanks again, PAHU, for your help, and Greg and Pam and Andy too!

[SOLVED] CUPS does not list Canon PIXMA MP500 printer in Add Printer

I'm finally getting Arch up on my desktop (second time I've fooled around with Arch seriously) and it's been going smoothly so far. I've hit a roadblock when trying to get my printer (multipurpose Canon PIXMA MP500) set up with CUPS. I've followed the wiki directions on CUPS and "CUPS printer-specific problems" to get it installed. dmesg gives me information saying it's plugged in via USB, and the scanner on the printer works with sane/xsane with no additional configuration. However, CUPS isn't displaying the printer in the Add Printer dialog on the web interface after I've logged in as root; it's giving me Serial Port #1, Serial Port #1, and CUPS-PDF.
I can't find information about an MP500-specific driver, and I don't know if using the MP540 driver is what I need. I'm stumped with this; has anyone tried to install this printer before, or gotten it to work? Thanks!

Success! I got CUPS to recognize my printer by using cups-usblp and removing usblp from the blacklist. The printer now shows in the add printer dialog on the web interface. I originally had an error "Add Printer Canon_MP500 Error (Unable to get list of printer drivers: Unknown)" when adding the printer; however, after installing the most recent cnijfilter-common from the AUR and a good reboot, I was able to add the printer and select a driver "Canon PIXMA MP500 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7", and it works!
Marking this thread as solved.

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?

HT2250 I have an Apple network utility that with the previous printer (Canon PIXMA iP 5000) found the printer on the Network for use on a wi fi system but a newish printer (Canon MG6150) does not show up as Bonjour. Is that correct?

Hi Steve,
No expert, but since nobody else has piped in...
Did you setup the DNS Server IP?
