Canon Pixma MP610 - Not recognised

Just bought a Canon Pixma MP610 multifunction printer but despite loading the driver that came with it, my Macbook does not recognize it.
I downloaded the latest drivers from the Canon website - but still no joy. When I go into printers and faxes it does not even appear. Any suggestions ?

When you add a Canon inkjet printer queue there is no ability to browse for the printer driver via the Print Using menu. The driver software needs to see the printer on the end of the USB cable to work.
The usual procedure to add the printer is to run the driver software installer first without the printer being connected. Then once the installer has finished and you have restarted the Mac, you can connect the USB cable. When you do this the software often finds the Canon printer and automatically adds it to the printer list. If it doesn't automatically add straight away, you can try to add it via Print & Fax > Add. When you do this I have often found that the printer, after selecting the printer via the Default view, has already been added.
Before attempting to print, you should be adding the printer via Print & Fax. After selecting Add ( + ) the printer should appear in the Default view as a USB device. If after selecting the printer name, the Print Using menu does not automatically change to Canon IJ Printer, then something is wrong with the driver software and generally needs to be reinstalled. Following is my procedure to reinstall the Canon driver software.
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Highlight the Canon printer in the Printer list and click the minus ( - ) button. [Since your printer is not installed then you don't have to do this step]
2. Hold Control key and click in the empty Printers list. Click on Reset Printing System.
3. Close Print & Fax
4. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinter folder.
5. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the Canon driver package file, if one exists. The file name will show Canon MP610 693.pkg. If you are not using the MP210 on this machine, you can delete its package file if it is here also.
6. Go to Library > Preferences and delete the Canon folder.
7. Go to HD > Users > Shared > Canon and delete the BJPrinter folder.
8. Empty the Trash
9. Unplug the Canon USB cable and restart the Mac
10. Install the latest version of the Canon driver. Check the Canon web site to ensure you have the latest version.
11. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
12. Reconnect the Canon USB cable. Then open Print & Fax and see if the Canon printer is listed. If it is, try a test print.
13. If the printer is not listed, click the plus ( + ) button.
14. Select the Default view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
15. Click Add to add the printer.

Canon Pixma MP610 fails to print and returns a " Stopped - 'Filter' failed" error message.

Hi, I have updated to latest OS and now my Canon Pixma MP610 fails to print and returns a " Stopped - 'Filter' failed" error message.
I am running OS X 10.9.3 (13D65) on a 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac with 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I've done a complete system re-install and also performed a targetted install of just the Canon Drivers - but all to no avail.
The printer is OK with regard ink-levels and is/was working fine. It will print out 'photocopies' independantly of the iMac. Additionally, from within the Print Queue I can view the ink-levels so there are comms between the iMac and the Canon - it's just that 'Print' seems to be off topic.
Can anyone help as I have to get a document out tonight
Many thanks in advance
S

Is that device desSystem Preferences - Print & Scan - Right click the printer and select Reset Printing System. DO NOT use any Canon software.
You did not advise how it is connected (USB- Wi-Fi- etc..) so it's a little difficult to assist with so little information.

Airport Extreme and Canon Pixma MP610

I recently got a MacBook Pro. I wanted to print wirelessly so I also purchased a new Airport Extreme and Canon Pixma MP610 printer all from the Apple Store. I told the salesperson what I wanted to do and he did not indicate there would be a problem, he said make sure I had the most current printer drivers, which I have done. I tried everything but I am unable to print wirelessly using the USB connection between the Airport and the printer. Can anyone help me? Is this printer compatible with the Airport? This is very frustrating and expensive. I could have just kept my old base station and printer.

I am having the same problem with my MP610... I have connected the printer to the usb port on the AirPort Express and have tried installing various drivers to try and fix the issue but have had no success so far.
My Airport Express is setup correctly (green light) and is found in AirPort Utility... additionally, when I go to System Preferences -> Print & Fax, the printer is there and found wirelessly... yet whenever I try to print I receive a "error number : 306..." in my print queue... also, depending on which driver I use, I receive a "Unable to send 1 bytes of print data! (USB write error)" error message on top of the "error number : 306"... sometimes I also manage to avoid any error messages where the status shows it is 'Printing' but there is nothing being printed...
Now, obviously this is a wireless issue, as the printer works when connected via usb directly to my MacBook Pro...
I contacted Canon Support, and was told that I would not be able to print via any AirPort connection as the printer itself is a "Host Based Printer" and was not designed to support networking and that my only other alternative/option to wireless printing would be to purchase a "USB printer server" that supports IP Address forwarding... (on a side note: does the AirPort Express not support this?)
The whole reason why I purchased AirPort Express was so I could print wirelessly from a regular printer by connecting it to its usb port... and looking at the Airport support page on Apple's website, it clearly doesn't mention anywhere that the printer needs to be network capable or that there would be any compatibility issues with regular printers... After-all, it revolves around the idea that all you need to do is connect the printer to the AirPort via USB and that it will take care of the rest when setup correctly...
So ultimately my question is, has anyone had any success in setting up a wireless connection with their 'Host Based Printer'/ordinary usb printer...? if so, how?!! please describe in detail :P lol
Also is that doesn't work, is there any way I can use the AirPort Express to wirelessly print using an IP Address without having to buy a 'USB print server'?
Sorry about the very long description... any help would be really appreciated!

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~

Canon Pixma IP8500 not visible in printer list

When trying to install my Canon Pixma IP8500 printer (wireless connected) for the first time on my new iMac I found this particular printer was missing from the printer list, although in the OS X documentation it was stated that this printer would be supported. Although somewhat surprised I downloaded the latest driver from Canon. Surprise, surprise, after installing this driver (an action which was 'succesfully completed') it still was not visible in the printer list !?
Has anyone had a similar experience and/or does anyone know how to tackle this problem ?

Hi Greg,

I downloaded a trial from the PrintFab site and installed the driver, unfortunately with the following results:

Canon cr2 files not recognised in LR4.1

I have Lightroom 4.1 running on a MacBook Air with 10.8.1 OS
It is not recognising the files from my Canon 7D with v 2.00 firmware
The files are recognised however in Bridge v 6
Any solutions?

What is your general work flow? Are you pulling the files directly from the camera? I was having an issue with my new 7D last night where Lightroom insists that it doesn't know what to do with the cr2 files when I was attempting to import them from the camera (Something it happily does with my T3 and has for ages)
However, if I manually dragged the RAW files to their holding directory on the drive myself, and then imported them to Lightroom, everything was just fine.

Canon Pixma MP450 not known

I want to use a Canon Pixma MP450 networked for my macBook.
Since I do not find this type of printer in the default list of printers. I download the installation package from Canon website and install it.
However, even after installing the package, I do not see Canon printer in the list of printer when I am adding a new printer.
Thanks for your help,

If your network consists of the MP450 being shared from a Windows computer, then you will not be able to use the Canon driver. This is because the driver has been written to work on a direct USB connection only, and that is why it doesn't appear in the Canon list of printers.
What you will need to do is look at using a driver that will work across your network and that is the most compatible with the MP450. You have the option of the free drivers from Gutenprint, which you can get from Sourceforge, or buying the PrintFab software. Note that the MP450 is not listed as a supported printer with Gutenprint, so you will have to try a few options to get the best output, whereas it is listed as a supported printer by PrintFab.

Canon PIXMA MP600R - not working in wireless mode since installing 10.6.1

I have a Canon PIXMA MP600R which was set up to use over a wireless network and was working completely 100%.
However I installed Snow Leopard two weeks ago and now the printer wont work wirelessly. I have reinstalled the printer three times now, downloaded the printer updates from Apple and still no joy. I have trawled through the help file and the Canon PIXMA MP600R manual and have still not managed to connect wirelessly even though all the criteria's are met - access point, network configuration etc. The printer does not display in the Utility Printer Network List only in the USB list. When trying to connect to the printer to the router the message 'Printer cannot be found' pop up comes up even though all MAC, IP address, network access are met... any ideas?

Not sure why this is giving you so much trouble but I believe the MP600R will work fine on Snow Leopard once we get the machine correctly configured. I think I made an assumption that you were printing fine via wireless with another version of Mac OS X. But given that the printer does not appear to have/had an IP address set, then it would suggest that you were not printing previously via wireless. Is this correct?
To configure the IP address in the MP600R you have to connect the printer to the Mac via USB. Then you select the USB attached MP600R in the Printers list and open the Options & Supplies > Printer Utility. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility. Here you select the MP600R and now the Network Settings button should appear. If the button is still not present then you may have to download and install the Canon IJ Network Utility v2.70. In testing 10.6, my printers have already been configured for the network so I have never needed to do this setup step and therefore I am not certain if the facility exists to configure the network settings without this tool being installed. Apologies if this has been the stumbling block.
Once you have the Network Settings button present, select it and go through the procedures to configure the network settings. Once this process has completed, the setup will prompt you to turn off the MP600R and then disconnect the USB cable. Then when you power the MP600R back on, the machine should be connected to your wireless access point. At this stage you can check that the MP600R has an IP address via the Device Settings menu on the printer (refer back to my third reply to check how this is done).
Once the printer has an IP address and shows that it is active, you can now add another printer queue, this time for the wireless connected MP600R. Open Print & Fax, select to Add and choose the Default view. As I said in the first reply, you will probably see the MP600R immediately as a Bonjour Scanner, but we need to wait until the MP600R appears with its Kind column showing 'canonijnetwork'. When this does appear, select it and the Print Using menu will automatically find the correct driver. Click Add to finish adding the network printer queue.
Hope this stops the hair reduction....

Canon pixma mp600R not working after security update

Hi,
yesterday apple software update installed the last updates for my intel imac with 10.4.11. After that my canon printer is not working via airport. USB works fine. the networking utility sends and receive pings to the printer.
Tried to reinstall with the canon network tool. after checking of the airport signal (good) the printer utility open but I cannot add my printer, because its not shown.

Canon MP 620 not recognised since new airport extreme

I've been successfully using a Canon MP620 printer and scanner wirelessly for about six months but then my old Buffalo AirStation gave up the ghost and I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme. It was a joy to get something out of the box, plug it in and have everything work from the moment I switched it on. The only problem is the Canon has disappeared and I cannot get it to appear either wirelessly or as a USB device. I have tried just connecting it to one computer by a USB cable but it's just not being detected.
We have three MacBook Pro's in the family on airport, a MacPro and an old G4 that connect by cable, oh, and er...a Dell PC. We are running a mix of 10.5.8 and 10.6.1. The main MacBook Pro that was used originally to set up the wireless system is still on 10.5.8.
The Canon still has the same settings in it that it had before. I have downloaded the latest driver from Canon but when I get to the point where it scans for printers nothing comes up whether I set it to USB or Network.
I am so frustrated as it was working so well before.
Any ideas anyone?

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
To add the MP620 on Mac OS X 10.5 as a networked wired or wireless printer, you need to select More Printers > Canon IJ Network. For Mac OS X 10.6, you add the network printer via the Default browser view. But there is every chance that the MP620 is not connected to your new Airport, so you will need to run the network setup tool again.
To configure the network settings in the printer, you will have to connect the MP620 to your Mac or PC via USB. This will let you open the Canon IJ Printer Utility, which lets you configure the network settings. Since this is a Mac forum, I will detail the Mac procedure.
With the printer connected via USB, open Print & Fax and select the MP620 in the list. If you haven't had the MP620 connected to this Mac previously via USB, then it may take a while for the printer to appear in this list. If it hasn't appeared after 30 seconds, then click + to add the printer. Select the MP620 shown as a USB device. At the point when you select to Add, you may be prompted that the printer is already installed. If so, just cancel the install. If not, continue the procedure.
With the USB printer queue selected, open the print queue and click the Utility icon. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility. This will show you the USB attached MP620. Select it and press the Network Settings button. This will open the Canon IJ Network Tool that will guide you through adding the MP620 to your new network.
Once the network setup process has completed, you can turn the MP620 off and disconnect the USB cable. Then when you turn the power back on, the printer should now be connected to your wireless network allowing you to add it as a network printer.
On 10.5, with Print & Fax open, click to Add and then select More Printers > Canon IJ Network.
On 10.6, open Print & Fax and click to Add. Select the Default browser view.
In both cases the MP620 should be visible, allowing you to select it and add it as a network printer.
Hopefully this gets you printing again. Please reply if you need more help.

Canon MP600 Scanner not recognised

OSX 10.8.4 does not recognize my scanner in the Canon MP600 anymore plase advise why this is and how to correct it

Look in the HD/Library/Applications Support/Canon folder. That's where the driver for my Canon printer is located. If you install it for only the current user and not all users it might be in the Users/Home/LIbrary/Application Support/Canon folder.
For other files for the printer look in the HD/Library/Printers folder.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Canon MG6250 does not recognise Macbook, why?

When we bought the Canon MG6250 earlier this year we had installed and set up it up for Windows first as we mainly use it from a Windows PC.
I have now installed everything on the MacBook Pro also and wireless printing works fine, however the scanning process works only when initialised on the MacBook throught the scannint software.
When I select Scan on the MG6250 and want to select the laptop only the Windows shows up and not the MacBook.
Anyone any ideas of why this is?
Many thanks

Canon A-DEP not recognised in LR

Has anyone else noticed this? Select an image file shot with a Canon DSLR in A-DEP mode in the Library module, and the Exposure Program field vanishes from the EXIF Metadata panel. Other Exposure Programs show up much as you'd expect (M= Manual, Av = Aperture Priority, Tv = Shutter Priority, P = "Normal"), but A-DEP just doesn't show.
I don't use A-DEP much, and never use any of the others on the Canon dial, so maybe I'll just have to live with the knowledge that A-DEP is represented in LR by the absence of the Exp Prog field, but wonder if there's a reason for this anomalous behaviour.
Jim
PS: Just checked and the same happens in Bridge. Am I missing something here?

What is your general work flow? Are you pulling the files directly from the camera? I was having an issue with my new 7D last night where Lightroom insists that it doesn't know what to do with the cr2 files when I was attempting to import them from the camera (Something it happily does with my T3 and has for ages)

Canon Pixma MG6150 not printing

I am very happy with Arch Linux, everything works, thanks to the clear wiki's!
But printing is a problem with my Canon MG6150. Cups is installed and works: i can select the printer
The drivers (cnijfilter-mg6100 3.40-4 and scangearmp-mg6100 1.60-3 from AUR) seems to work: I see the message (in KDE printer applet) 'Job completed. But no print.
