Canon PIXMA MP640

I have MP640 on wired/wireless network under 10.6.1. I have installed the latest (10.26.1) Canon drivers and get devices/queues for USB and Network. I can print and scan via USB without issue. I can scan via network without issue, and I can print to my HP CP4005 over the same network and from a Windows7 laptop to the MP640, but if I print via the network from my MacBook Pro the job remains in the queue.
Canon support are at a loss.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

In order to print via the wired or wireless network, you do not need the Canon IJ Network mentioned in the other post. This is only needed to use the MP Navigator software.
As long as you have the v10.26 driver installed on the Mac, you should be able to add it as a network printer. However, unlike the scanner portion of the MP640 that appears very quickly in Add printer Default view as a Bonjour device, the printer can take up several seconds before it appears, with its Kind showing as canonijnetwork as mentioned in the other post. If you select this entry, a new network printer queue will be created. If you already have the USB printer queue, which you may have used when trying to print to the networked printer - hence the job remaining in the queue, you will now have two queues under the Printer heading and another queue under the Scanner heading.

  • 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.

  • Help with Canon Pixma MP640

    Hi all,
    Okay let me run down the steps I've done so far and what I've learned. Apparently the newest version of cups does not work with Canon printers it seems, because of an issue with usblp.
    First I got a version of Cups from the AUR with usblp enabled. The package is cups-usblp 1.4.3-2.
    Next I followed a guide about Arch and the MP640 here.
    The good news is that now my printer is recognized and it appears that all is well. However, when I try to print a test page (as Root) or try to print something from Kword I get the error:
    "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij failed"
    The pstocannonij file exists and I have the correct ppd installed. I'm running Arch64 and I have all of the 32bit libraries installed. I have the cups and usblp daemons active in my rc.conf.
    Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!

    I've recently bought a Canon PIXMA MP640 multifunction device and it's working perfectly on my Vista 32-bit system. Now it's time to make it work on Arch 64-bit. Is it possible to make this device work without using any 32-bit libraries? I would like my system stay clean off any 32-bit software. Unfortunately on Canon website drivers for this model are still signed as TBD, although I've found this and this.

  • Wifi canon pixma mp640 goes offline

    why does my canon pixma mp640 go offline every time my mac goes into standby mode? the only resolution i have found is to reboot the printer, but sometimes i have to do that eight to ten times a day.

    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.

  • Any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pixma mp640 printer connection?

    Anyone have any ideas how to fix my mac book pro to canon pimxa mp640 printer link? The two are connected manually yet the ! remains on the 'print' page next to the printer name. it was working fine until i changed the ink cartridges. Without the wireless password - which I've never had and don't supposedly need as it's not a wireless connection, I am being prevented from resuming printing.

    If it's on a windows network you have to enter your (windows) log in (name/password) credentials.
    This should be a 1 time event. It will remember it thereafter.

  • Canon Pixma MP640 Error B200

    Hi,
    When I turn on my printer it give me B200 error. A week ago I disconnected supply cable for 12 hours and it go well.
    Now I tried to disconnected already for 12 hours but this time it don't go.
    I I replaced all cartridges, clean printer head with water and dry it, but it don't go.
    I tried to go in service mode and green and orange led  flashing alternatively. If I try to press resume 4 times in service mode to reset ink waste, nothing happens.
    Advice???

    *** DISCLAIMER *** You'll try the following advices solely on your own responsibility!  
    After B200 error in my MP640 (Europe version) I firstly carried out a print head cleaning method with alcohol and distilled water (6 + 6 min) proposed at [link removed per forum guidelines] (see down on the page and use Google translate if needed).
    Well, cleaning alone didn't help.
    After that I found from another forum an 'open print head bay boot' (like I'm calling it...) trick which I combined with an idea of nozzle cleaning. So I managed to solve my B200 problem as follows:
    1. Turn OFF the printer and make sure there is plenty of ink left in every tank.
    2. From "Devices and Printers" open MP640 properties and further the "Maintenance" window.
    3. From Maintenance section select nozzle cleaning (all colors), preferably the 'deeper' one. And then STOP! Don't start any cycle yet.
    4. Open the print head bay (as though you were about to change inks).
    5. Turn ON power.
    6. Wait for print carriage to start moving to the left and let it go past half way.
    7. Before print carriage reaches left hand side (but after going halfway across) shut the cover.
    8. Printer's display turns now into dark color and shows text "Canon" above the 'running balls'. During that time start the cleaning cycle but don't do anything else, i.e. don't try to print the test page yet.
    9. Nozzle cleaning should start right after printer initializing.
    10. After the cleaning cycle is finished run another one without printing anything. Make sure you don't run out of any ink.
    11. Print the test page to check if additional cleaning is still needed.
    I had to do the print bay boot + nozzle cleaning another time because B200 error returned quite soon after the first try. But after some more cleaning cycles and printing everything seems to be ok now. Hope this helps with your printer!

  • CANON PIXMA MP640 - Communication error after a print or two

    I've been very happy with this wireless machine until the last couple of weeks, when I've begun getting "a communication error has occurred" in the print window.
    I re-run the Canon setup CD, download the latest driver for Snow Leopard (10.26.2.0) and all is well - for one or two operations. Then the communication error returns....
    I can't think of any particular new application or programme I've installed to provoke the issue.
    It's become exasperating and I've resorted to using the USB connection, which defeats the purpose.
    Any suggestions most welcome!

    I had one "USB printer" set up, it worked like a charm.
    I tried various "LAN printers", scanning worked fine, I could manage the printer, I could even print test pages (to check if the print nozzles where fine) from the management tool. But I could not print to the printer via LAN using the Print menu command.
    I tried installing new driver software, it did not help. I tried reconfiguring the printer via the web interface. It did not help. I then tried deleting the "printers" I had created, except for the USB printer. I did the following:
    1. Opened System Preferences, Print & Fax
    2. Deleted all printers except the USB printer
    3. Clicked the + to add a new printer
    4. Selected the Default tab, and could then see the printer there.
    5. I added that printer, and could then see the printer with the canonijnetwork added to it.
    6. I added that, and now I can print using that "printer"!
    Thanks a lot for the help. Please notice that, at least for me, it was essential to go to the Default tab and ad the printer from there, and that it was a two-step process (add the printer without canonijnetwork, then add it with canonijnetwork).
    I wonder if anyone gets their MP640 printer to work via LAN or wireless without any problem (on OS X 10.6).
    Anyhow, I can now also print successfully using LAN (the printer is connected to the router via LAN, my MacBook Pro is connected to the router wirelessly).

  • Communication error has occurred - Canon PIXMA printer

    This was driving me nuts! I tried many of the other ideas offered in these discussions, but nothing worked. Sometimes my Canon PIXMA MP640 WiFi printer would work, usually it wouldn't.  I would get "A communication error has occurred" message on my MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and the print job would just stay in the queue until I deleted it. Most of the time I needed  to re-enter the network password at the printer BEFORE EVERY PRINT JOB which was a pain because the password was 10 characters long and I could only dial in each letter one at a time.
    If you are having similar trouble, before you do anything CHECK THE WIFI SIGNAL STRENGTH USING THE PRINTER MENUS!  On my model, this was done by going from the Home menu to Settings->Device Settings->LAN Settings->Confirm LAN settings->Print LAN Details.  If the signal strength on the printout shows less than 50%, there is too much interference from other electronics in the area (or the printer is too far from the router).  In my case, the printer was in the next room, i.e., not too far from the router so I knew it had to be EM interference.
    At first, my signal strength was showing 36%.  Then I moved the printer into the same room as the wifi router, within 7ft and directly in line of sight of it and it went to 62%. I thought it should be much higher, so I moved the printer to within 4ft and it went to 80%.  Then I unplugged the LCD TV (which was NOT turned on at any time) that was on the counter nearby, and it jumped to 90%.
    After months of poking at this problem and finally resigning to the idea that the printer was broken, I tried this and now it works perfectly as long as the TV is unplugged.  I plan on moving the router away from the TV so I won't have to unplug it whenever I print.
    Hope this helps!

    I've wrestled with this off and on with this printer ever since I got it. Just checked and my signal was at 44%. Guess that could be it!... guess I'll do some relocating of the router, boost the signal or run an ethernet line. Never though the signal being that low would cause this many print errors.
    I thought is was just happening when the printer would go to sleep... or not used for a few days.
    Thanks!

  • Clearing error code C0000 on Pixma MP640

    Is there a secret to clearing my printer of this error code C0000? I have Pixma MP640.
    I tried powering down and also unplugging for 15 minutes. Thanks for your input

    Hi cdeviney,
    The C000 error is a generic internal error code.  Unfortunately, it could mean one of many things.  To try to resolve the C000 error, please follow the following steps:
     1.  Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord and USB cable.
     2.  Remove paper from the automatic sheet feeder (in the back).
     3.  Gently pull jammed paper out, if any.
         3-1.  If paper is visible from the ASF, use both hands to pull the paper out slowly.
         3-2.  If paper is visible from the paper output slot, use both hands to pull the paper out slowly.
     4.  If the paper tears and a piece of that remains inside the printer, open the printer cover and remove the paper from inside the printer.
     5.  Check ASF with a bright light to check for obstructions.  Remove any if found.  Please view attached image for an example of pacing material.
     6.  Open the rear cover to check if the paper is jammed.
     7.  Pull out the cassette and check if the paper is jammed inside the cassette area.
     8.  Load paper back into the ASF or cassette.
     9.  Reconnect the power cord, turn on the printer and confirm that the Alarm light is off. (If there was any jammed paper remaining in the printer, the paper may be automatically ejected.)
    If the above procedure does not resolve the C000 error, please contact our support group using the following link:

  • 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.
    Barry
    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.
