Canon PIXMA MX850 fax and FiOS - "No Dial Tone"

I have a new multi-function printer and FiOS Internet, Phone and TV. My old analog phones work just fine and get a dial tone through all the phone jacks, but the fax doesn't recognize the dial tone. I've read about micro-filter and splitting devices for DSL connections; will they help with my problem?
Hope someone has advice!
Thanks!

On your vioce phones, do you get a dial tone the exact second you pick up the phone, or is there a delay, like a incoming voicemail msg that needs to be listened to?  I'm willing to bet that your phone system tells you you have unheard voicemail messages by adding a delay before voicemail, and that will affect your fax machine.  Clear your voicemail and try again.

  • Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

    Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

    The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
    To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
    If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.

  • Canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print

    canon pixma mx850 printer not reading my computer - will not print 
    I unplugged the cord that went from the printer to the computer to another canon printer to see if I could remediate a problem with a wireless printer.
    When I plugged the computer cord back into the usual computer, the printer is no longer talking to the computer even though I have gone in and changed back the settings, and it has been the default printer - that was not changed.
    I've tried all the trouble-shooting suggestions to no avail.

  • Canon PIXMA MX850 networking w/o a router

    I have a MacBook Pro connected via ethernet directly to a cable modem, and a PowerBook G4 connected via shared airport wireless.
    My intention is to I have a Canon PIXMA MX850 connected via ethernet to the PowerBook G4, and be able to print from both laptops.
    I am unable to get either laptops to recognize the printer when connected via ethernet... the printer appears to get an valid IP address (192.168.1.123), but it is not useful, for both laptops choose 192.168.2.1... any ideas?
    I currently have no router, or USB cable. I realize either of these items would solve my problems, and more, but I want to know if it is possible to directly connect the printer and laptop via ethernet and have stuff work.

    What you want to do with Ethernet is possible. The key is ensuring you have the correct IP address subnets in all devices.
    If your PowerBook has an IP address of 192.168.2.1, then its subnet is determined by the subnet mask. If you currently have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then this would mean your Mac has a subnet of 192.168.2 and a network address of 1.
    If the printer has 192.168.1.123 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, then it has a subnet of 192.168.1, which means it is a different network to the Mac's and would therefore require a router to connect the two networks (subnets).
    So, without getting a router, all you need to do is change the IP address of the printer to the same subnet as the Mac's, ie 192.168.2. This would then allow the Canon driver software to 'see' the printer. Note that to add this network printer, you have to select More Printers > Canon IJ Network. This should show the MX850 with its MAC address displayed in brackets. Select this and the print using menu to automatically change to Canon IJ Printer. Click Add to finish and now try a print.

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

    hi ehnco,
    It sounds like the Read/Write attribute on the printer needs to be changed.  Use the following steps to change the read/write attribute:
    Make sure that the machine is turned on
    Press the <Setup> button.
    Use the   button to select  [ Device settings], then press the <OK> button.
    The Device settings screen is displayed.
    Use the  button to select [Device user settings], then press the <OK> button.
    Use the  button to select [Read / write attribute], then press the <OK> button.
    Use the  button to select [Writable from LAN PC], then press the <OK> button.

  • I have a Canon Pixma i4700 printer and since buying my iMac I'm finding it difficult to print photographs without a severe warm (red) tone.

    I have a Canon Pixma i4700 printer and since buying my iMac I'm finding it difficult to print photographs without a severe warm (red) tone.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I can't give you detailed instructions, but there should be a way to print a built-in test page. If the color is off on that, the printer has an internal problem such as a clogged head.

  • Cannot make Canon PIXMA MX922 fax to work with "Windows Fax And Scan" on Windows 7, 8.1

    I have Canon PIXMA MX922 multifunction printer installed wireless on iMac OS X Mavericks. It works great but there is no fax drivers for Mac. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed on Parallel Desktop. I am able to print and scan on these machines. I can scan using "Windows Fax and Scan" and other programs including My Image Gardens but no luck with faxing. I can send faxes using print function and chosing a Cannon MX920 series fax driver. The problem is to recieve faxes. I've connected MX922 wireless and wired with no help.
    Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

    Hi Anton,
    thank you for your advice.
    In case this is going to fix itself in 25 hours I will check for the issue then. I'm gonna let you know whether the issues has disappeared.
    But it sounds to me a little bit, like you have been expecting that behaviour? Have you? Especially within a Lab it is very confusing to have test clients which appear fully functional 25 hours after the setup has been succeeded.
    I've followed your annotation and posted the log files on the Connect portal.
    Thx
    Peter

  • Canon Pixma MX850 problems

    I am trying to connect my Pixma MX850 to my macbookPRO 10.5.5. I went through the installation process. I did the test printing from the printer and the test print fine. Every time I try to print from a doc on my macbook, nothing is printed on the paper i send through the printer. It just goes in blank, comes out same.
    The MX850 icon is showing up in my dock and system preferences. Is this a driver issue? And now I can't seem to locate the CD-ROM that came with printer. Thoughts? Opinions?

    I'm also having issues getting my MX850to work as well with my MBP. It used to work but I think when I did the last update on OS X something went wrong. The update also erased all my workgroup settings for some reason. I can access the printer via my other PC running XP Pro and can access it if I use Boot Camp to get into Vista on my MBP (printer does not work through Vista in a VM though). I spent a couple hours on the phone with Canon yesterday and they couldn't figure it out either. I've pretty much exhausted all the options I can think of. For some reason I just cannot get the printer to show up as a selection. IP subnet all that is fine. I can ping the printer from OS X with no issues.
    At this point, I think it must be some sort of driver issue related to last update with Leopard as that is the only thing I can think of now.
    Anyone have any more recent thoughts? My next step is to wipe my whole system and reinstall everything and see how that goes; just don't have time to do that.

  • 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.

  • HI, I have a Canon Pixma MG5250 printer and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto. All my photos are in iPhoto but I can't access them when the printer's 'photo print' box comes up.  Any suggestions? thanks

    Hi,
    I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8
    I now have a Canon Pixma Printer MG 5250 and it doesn't seem to recognize iPhoto, where all my folders of photos are in the computer.
    All other aspects of the printer such as scanning and printing documents are working.  When I open the printer's
    'photo print' box on my Mac, it cannot access iPhoto. 
    I would really appreciate any feedback and suggestions as to what to do.
    thanks.

    If you want to print a photo that's in your library you should do so from iPhoto.  Select the photo, crop to the size you want to print and type Command+P to start the print process.  In the Print window select the paper size and print size, printer and then click on the Print button.

  • Problem: Canon Pixma MG 3550 and OS X Yosemite

    Hi
    I have recently updated to Yosemite 10.10 and I can't reinstall my Canon Pixma MG 3550 Printer. I have tried downloading all software from the Canon website, but my Macbook can never find the printer when trying to install it. I printed the printer settings and it is on the Network, but status is inactive.
    The error messages I receive while trying to install is either that the Driver is not installed, or that no printers can be found.
    Any help for a not-so-technical person?
    Many thanks,

  • Canon Pixma ip 1600 and Pixma ip 4200 and AE

    Does anyonw have either of these (Pixma ip 1600 and Pixma ip 4200) printers that work with the AE as a wireless printer server? I was thinking about buying one of them, but these printers with AE are so finnicky.
    thx roger

    What time frame are you thinking about? The Canon web site also lists the iP5200r, which, like the iP4000r, will have networking built in. From various shopping sites it looks like it will be out late Sept.
    Iterestingly Best Buy already has the ink tanks for the new Canon printers at about $2 more than the ink tanks used by the iP4000. So you might want to get the iP4000r.

  • SPA509G appears registered and online, no dial tone & cannot make calls.

    UC560 with PRI
    SPA509G phone just stopped working one day.  No dial tone, appears to be online and registered.  Tried a brand new phone with no luck.  Updated phone firmware to 7.5.6a with no change.  I checked several areas with no luck.  Deleted user and re-created with no change.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I must be missing something here but why do you think its on the "E" side ? . It takes 2 wires for a landline phone to work properly why cant it be "dis" a leg on the "D" side ? I await to be enlightened. For every 1 "E" side I fixed           there was about 50 "D" sides faulty. The ratio is large . While "E" side cables get updated occasionaly . That isnt true of "D" sides due to the vaying locations and pole/wallboxes.direct feeds etc. Many "D" side cable has been in the ground since the 50s and are paper insulated.
