Canon Pixma MP800 driver posted -- a question

Yesterday I saw that Canon has posted the updated drivers for my Pixma MP800 all-in-one. It is a CUPS driver, version 10.26.0.0. The scanner driver is version 12.13.1.
Has anyone successfully used these drivers at this point? I'm waiting to upgrade to SL until I'm sure I won't be out of luck. <G>
Thanks!

Regarding the scanning via Airport, this will not function due to driver constraints. The Canon scanning software only supports direct USB connections.
As for the printer, the following details the procedure for repairing faulty installations of the Canon PIXMA drivers.
1. Open Printer Setup Utility, click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the file/s Canon MP800 xxx.pkg
5. Empty the Trash
6. Restart the Mac
7. Install the latest version of the Canon driver. Check the Canon web site to ensure you have the latest version.
8. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
9. Open Printer Setup Utility and click Add.
10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
11. Click Add to add the printer.

Canon Pixma MP800 suddenly invisible to my OS 10.6.4 mac

I am a (usually) technically proficient longtime mac user, and I have spent 4 hours trying everything to solve this but can't.
A month ago or so I set up this new imac, and dowloaded the canon website drivers for printing and scanning - and set up and used printing and scanning sucessfully for a while.
The Canon PIXMA MP800 is hooked up via a USB cable directly to iMac.
Recently I tried to scan and couldnt - tried to print aqnd couldnt. Got errors that talked about being offline. So I deleted the printers, but when I tried to re-add the printer - there were no printers to add on the list.
I have tried reinatalling everything I can, incuding the canon printer drivers file on the apple website. I have done the "hold control while assing printer" thing to reset things. no help.
One thing in my attempts that I found odd...throughout this process, I have found my Library/Printers/ folder completely empty. Is that right? Or is my new mac set somehow that I just cant see the files that are there?
Can it be that an OS update has screwed up printing communication?
Never been so upset and frustrated at a mac before. What the heck is going on!?!
Help!! thanks in advance.

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669?viewlocale=en_US, the driver for this printer doesn't support scanning.

Use Software Update to download the latest drivers to get printing working again.

Which Library/Printers/ folder is empty? The one in your home directory? Or the one on your hard drive? The one on your hard drive should have the installed drivers, but the one in your home directory will be empty until you launch the proxy for the added printer.
Hope this helps.

Canon PIXMA MG6320 driver - Print problem

Canon PIXMA MG6320 driver - New printer, Windows XP Pro and Excel 2000 - printing 4 into 1 only prints the first page and preview print prints all of the pages while displaying the preview. Tried it with administrative rights and had the same problems.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
Tried reinstalling driver from the Canon website, the problem remains.

Hi Rhinomopolis,
The actual page that is printed should appear just like the print preview. If there is a mismatch between the print preview and the final output, it could be related to a setting on the printer or some other type of issue (out of ink, for example). If the page does not appear properly in the print preview, review the settings in your printing application and try again.

Canon Pixma MP800 gone after update driver

After speaking to Apple yesterday about a separate matter, I was talking to the tech support guy about not being able to scan wireless on my Canon MP800 but that I can print wirelessly. The printer not technically a wireless printer, but is found on network anyway when plugged into airport, the tech guy said I should be able to scan too. He suggested that I go on canon site and download latest print driver for my printer for OS X. I did this today as well as updated the other software it had available for updating. I installed as suggested, simple install, restarted computer as required, then tried to print and I cannot find my Canon MP800 anymore! Not in the printer menu. Can't find it by "add printer". Nowhere to be found! Any suggestions?

Canon PIXMA MX860 driver problems with OSX 10.7.5

Somewhere along the road of updates, I have lost the ability to have my Canon PIXMA MX860 recognize the envelope feeder. Does anyone have a suggestion what I need to do to get all of my printer's functions working again? I am on OSX 10.7.5 with a 17" MacBook Pro. I have also loaded the latest drivers that came from Apple updates.

Tested the Envelope facility in Word 2011 and I was able to print on the envelope loaded in the rear tray.
After I created my envelope I selected the Print button.
This made the normal print dialog appear. I clicked on the Copies & Pages menu and selected Quality & Media.
And from this pane I selected Envelope and Rear Tray. I then pressed Print and the address printed on the envelope.
This test was using the v10.72.1.0 driver for the MX860.

Canon Pixma MP800?

Has anyone with the above all-in-one printer installed SL yet? I'm planning to upgrade to SL soon, and I'm wondering if my MP800 will continue to work (I use it via USB in my Airport base station). I called Canon today, and they said that the new drivers would be available -- probably -- in 2-3 weeks. However, until then I don't want to be without printing and scanning capability. I'll postpone upgrading, if necessary, but if someone else has already done the upgrade and can enlighten me, I'd appreciate knowing.
Thanks!

Here's what I found there, Niel:
+Canon uses their own network protocol often referred to as BJNP. This will be updated from Canon for a few models on Sept. 12th. The Canon Printers will still work if:+
+1) They were already installed and configured under Leopard before the upgrade.+
+2) Deleting them and trying to add them back will not work.+
+3) The ONLY Canon AIO and Multifunction inkjet printers that will eventually supported under Snow Leopard are:+
+MX300, MX310, MX320, MX330, MX700, MX850, MX860, MX7600.+
Also
+MP Series:+
+MP130, MP140, MP150, MP160, MP170, MP180, MP190, MP210, MP240, MP250, MP450, MP460, MP470, MP480, MP490, MP500, MP510, MP520, MP530, MP560, MP600, MP610, MP620, MP750, MP760, MP780, MP800, MP800R, MP810, MP830, MP950, MP960, MP970, MP980.+
+Strangely the scanner portion of the above Canon machines works out of the box fully and is recognized by bonjour with no additional software required.+
This seems to be sort of different from what I was told by the Canon tech today. He said scanning would not work right away! I think I'll make sure that my Canon MP 800 is installed both as a wired printer and with a USB-to-Airport printer before I do the upgrade to SL. That should -- I hope -- take care of things for me. It may not, however, for my husband, who relies on the wireless connection to access the printer. :S
Thanks for that link!

PIXMA MP800 scanner driver error

Hi
My Canon PIXMA MP800 was working perfectly until today, when I tried to use the scanner software MP Navigator. Instead of starting up the program, I got this dialog: "The scanner driver supported by this software is not installed. Install it and then retry."
I downloaded all relevant drivers & software from the Canon website, deleted all the old software, restarted and reinstalled, but still I get the same message. The printer works fine, it's only the scanner software that won't start up.
These are the current drivers & software:
ScanGear MP800 12.23.0
MP Navigator 2.1.2
Canon MP800 4.8.3
I wonder if it is the 10.5.7 update that has glitched things, because I haven't scanned since that update. Nor have I installed any other scanner or printer software.
Any ideas?

One thing I noticed after running the 10.5.7 update was that all my USB connected printers were no longer listed in my Printers list. Only the network printers and the Adobe PDF writer were still present. Maybe this has also reset the scanner setup.
I check that the MP800 data source file is still present on your Mac. This will be located in Mac HD > Library > Image Capture > TWAIN Data Sources and will probably be displayed as Canon MP800 Series.ds.
If the file is present then I would check that you can scan via the Image Capture application, located in Applications. This will indicate if the the Mac can still see recognise the MP800 via some other software compared to Navigator. With Image Capture running, you should be able to select Devices and then Browse Devices. The MP800 should appear in the list and when you select it you should be able to scan.
If the above works then you have narrowed down the symptom to it being related to Navigator, although I'm not sure why the update would have stopped it from working. You could try running a repair disk permissions via Disk Utility. This is always a good thing to do after any software install or update.

Scanning on a Canon Pixma MP810 via an Airport Express

Can I scan from a Canon Pixma MP800/MP810 that is connected to a Airport Express? Printing works fine, but when I open Canons supplied program, it won't connect to the printer for scanning.

No scanning is not possible.
Can I scan using my all-in-one when it is connected to the USB port of an Airport Express or Airport Extreme Base Station?

My Macbook Pro will not find or use the downloaded driver for my new Canon Pixma MX479 wireless printer

I have been fussing for hours with a Canon Pixma MX479 printer I received as a gift. The printer was obviously designed for PC control, and has terrible instructions for setting up the wireless capability, but I finally found a few hints online about how to add a WPS printer to my Airport Extreme, so I can finally detect the printer. However, when I try to add the printer, either under System Preferences or while just doing a print, my MacBook requires that I download a driver from Apple to use it. When I attempt to do that, I get a message the driver software is unavailable from Apple and that I should contact the manufacturer for the driver. I have already downloaded and installed the Mac OS driver from Canon twice, but my MacBook apparently can't find it. So I am forced to use Airprint in order to communicate with the printer. I would like to use the proper software to make sure I am accessing all of the features the printer offers. Can anyone tell me how to associate the downloaded driver with my printer when I am attempting to add it?

Hi Dwntso!
Welcome to the Canon Forums and thanks for posting!
So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know any error messages you're seeing either on your computer or the printer, and the version of OS X you've got on your MacBook as well as the way you intend to connect to your printer (USB or networked via WiFi or Ethernet).
Any other details you'd like to give will only help the Community better understand your issue!

Yosemite printer driver for Canon Pixma IP3000

This is not so much a question as a solution to getting my old Canon Pixma IP3000 working again after upgrading to Yosemite.
Although the printer is listed, when I wanted to add it I found no software for it from Apple. Phoning Canon they also said they have no software for the IP3000 and Yosemite. To make a long story short, after much trial and error trying out other drivers which were listed on "choose driver" I found that the IP4500 driver can be configured for cassette feed AND duplex and works on Yosemite. Hope this helps someone else to keep some of the older products going in our throw away society!

I just installed that driver on a 10.10 VM and also found that there is no Duplex Print & Margin menu - just Margin.
I then installed it on a 10.8 VM to be sure the lack of the menu was not due to using the 10.8 driver on 10.10. However I found that even on 10.8, there was no Duplex Print & Margin. So it would seem that duplex printing was not an option for the iP3500.
I then checked an alternate driver suite called Gutenprint and added the iP3500 Gutenprint printer. It also did not support the ability to print duplex.
But when I added another printer, this time using the Gutenprint iP3000 driver, there was the ability to print two sided from the Layout menu. So then I thought it might be worth checking if the Canon iP3000 driver also provides a duplex setting, but the last supported OS for this model was 10.6 so I did not even try to install that old driver on 10.10.
Here is a link to the Gutenprint driver if you would like to try that.

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?
