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?

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.

    photos on screen saver gone after update of apple tv

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
    See This
    If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
    When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.

  • Apps gone after update

    Apps gone after update iPot toch touch to 5.0.1

    My guess is that the apps were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you did the update.  Apps )and ther items like music)are nt in the backu that iTunes makes as the first step of the backup.
    To redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • TV, Movie, and Podcast Favorites Gone after Update?

    Has anyone else noticed their "Favorites" gone after updating to the latest software? I did also unplug and do some traveling over the weekend so I'm not sure what exactly caused it but I had to add all my favorites again. I suspect the update did it. Did this happen to anyone else?

    same problem here!!!!!

  • 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!

  • All music gone after update

    After updating yesterday I clicked on iTunes and all my music is gone. No playlist. This happened a few weeks ago while using the old version. I took the laptop into the Geeks and they were able to find my music on my backup drive. They said they could not help me today because of the new update. I don't understand why this keeps happening. I have had iTunes for a while now and never had a proble.

    You know, I had the same exact problem. Updated my phone to 4.2 and left the house went to play music and it was all gone!!! I was so upset! Turned it off and on, Reset it, re-synced, and still the same problem. All the music showed up while synced but not with iPhone alone. Until!!! While it was synced I played a couple of the songs that appeared to be still in my iphone library. I then gave up thinking i would just have to restore to factory settings and just start over. but one last try and shock of all shocks my music reappeared! Dont know if it was just a fluke but I wanted to share the info in case there is something more to it. Good luck Iphone users! I hope you find some relief from your problems as I have

  • Facebook and Twitter tap to post gone after updating to ios 7

    Hey guys,
    I noticed that the tap to post widget has gone from the notification center after updating to iOS 7. Anyone else noticed this? And if so, will it be available in the future?

    You're not alone, I'm missing them too. It's a shame, I used the share widget to update my Facebook status more frequently than I used the Facebook app. I'm hoping it's just a burried setting somewhere that I'm missing.

  • 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.

  • Pictures gone after update to 925

    Some of my pictures are completely gone after the latest update. They are not found from my pictures nor from onedrive even though all photos have been uploaded automatically. Is there any way to restore the photos?

    Hi jane222222222,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    Aside from the photos, are there any other files affected by this issue (like videos, music, apps, etc.)? Was it the Lumia Black SW update that has just been installed in the phone?
    If you're able to sync the phone's files to a PC via Windows Phone app for desktop prior to this issue, you can just sync them back to your Lumia 925. You can also directly transfer the photos back to the phone via Windows Explorer.
    Unless a backup via OneDrive or Windows Phone app for desktop is created, the deleted photos can no longer be restored. I suggest that you enable all Backup options under Settings to prevent data loss in the future.
    Let us know if you need further help.
