Canon PIXMA MX860 Error 311
Hi,
I recently bought a Canon PIXMA MX860. I want to print wirelessly via bluetooth from my computer, but an error message keeps on popping up "Error Number : 311 Printer is in use or an error has occurred. If an error has occurred eliminate the cause of the error."
I updated to all the newest drivers. I tried looking at the gutenprint drivers, but I couldn't find one that works with the Canon PIXMA MX860. Any help would be much appreciated!

Canon PIXMA MX860 error message ScanGear
When I click on my Scanner (I put MP Navigator EX in my Dock), the application opens, but then a window opens that states:
ScanGear Searching for Scanners
Do you want the application "MP Navigator EX 2.1 app" to accept incoming connections?
I have to then click "Allow"
Setting can be changed in the Firewall panel of Security & Privacy preferences.
I have gone into the Firewall panel of Security & Privacy and added the scanner and the MP Navigator EX 2.1 app to allow incoming connections; I have also updated all software I could find relative to the Canon PIXMA MX860 on the Canon website.
But every time I try to use my scanner, I have to click on the "Allow" button, as if I never changed the settings int he Firewall panel.
It's not a big deal, just a nuisance to have to keep on clicking the Allow button every time I want to use the scanner. Any thoughts?These threads may help:

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. -
How can I repair Canon Pixma MP550 Error B200?
How can I repair a Canon Pixma MP550 error 200?
Hi dlp1962uva,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand you are trying to install your Canon printer after replacing your hard drive on your MacBook Pro. It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting by trying to install the drivers. I did some research on your printer, the Canon PIXMA iP6000D and it appears that this printer software is no longer available through software update.
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
Additional Information
Printer software no longer available through Software Update
The third-party vendor no longer provides software for the following models to download and install through Software Update. Contact the vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
The The Additional Information section where I found this information is at the very bottom of this article. This printer specifically is listed as a printer that is no longer supported by software update is the list under Additional Information. I would suggest contacting Canon to see if the printer drivers are still available through them.
I hope this helps,

Canon PIXMA MX860 printer on Snow Leopard
After upgrading from OS 10.4.11 Tiger to OS 10.6.4 Snow Leopard, my Ethernet connected MX860 stopped working. The original "PIXMA MX860 series Setup CD-ROM" returned an "unsupported" s/w error when started. After working with a Canon tech for a while and downloading the items below from the Canon web site, the MX860 is back in service and all appears fine. Note: some of the items were only downloaded for completeness and are not needed to drive the MX860 printer & scanner.
DRIVERS:
mx860sosxns10ea7-3.dmg (MX860 series MP driver ver 1.0 for network)

SOFTWARE:
eppexosx322ea8-2.dmg (Easy-PhotoPrint EX ver 3.2.2)

On OS X Server, you need to use the Server Admin utility (Applications > Server ) to share the local print queue. This requires the Print service to be added/started and then a queue created for the local printer.
Seems unusual that you would want to share a wireless printer from the server. The MacBook 'clients' would still be able to connect directly to this printer without having to connect via the server share so without knowing all the details of your setup it just seems an odd requirement. -
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 MX882 error message b200
I just received an error message b200 and a message saying I should disconnect the power cord and contact a service center. I did what some others did and removed the printhead and flushed it with water to clean it and put it back. Didn't make a difference. Also, when I turn on the printer, it makes a nasty scraping noise. Does anyone know how serious this problem is? Can it be fixed, or do I need to retire this one and get a new one. If I get a new one, any recommendations. I need the print, scan and fax functions and am willing to spend up to $200. We usually don't print photos from the printer. I need a working printer very badly since I use it for work.
Hello,
Please try unplugging the printer for at least 10 minutes. If the issue persists at that point, the best thing to do would be to get in touch with our technical support team at http://bit.ly/Phone_Support for further assistance. They will let you know of all the options you have.
Thanks!

Awesome printer. Really, it does a great job. But I want to throw it, and my iMac out the freakin' window.
Before Snow Leopard I was always able to print wirelessly, after I downloaded Snow Leopard, the two just wont talk to each other. I can print wired, but my printer needs to be across the room, not sitting here on the floor where the cable can reach.
This problem is driving me bananas. I put the Canon in the closet for a while and just let it be. But I need it WIRELESS again and I just cannot solve the problem.
I have tried everything possible, I have googled the problem, and have posted this question here before, followed the suggestions, and nothing. I have also tried the Canon website and have done what they have suggested.
HELP!That device does not support duplexing according to it's system specifications.

Faxing with the Canon Pixma MX860?
I just bought this printer,mostly so I could network print with my tablet PC, but partly so I could fax directly from my Mac. My old Canon couldn't do it: I had to print the document, and then put it on the platen of the printer, and fax from there (kinda defeats the purpose, no?!). So when I read all the specs on the Apple Store website (http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A) that included specs on Faxing, I figurered, why would they make all that fuss if it couldn't fax from the Mac? But it now appears that I'm back in the 20th century. I called Canon, and was told that I'd be able to fax directly from the (Vista) laptop, but not my Mac! How can this be true?!?! (I have a Mac V 10.5.7). My new Mac does not have a built-in modem. Why can't it use the one in the Canon? Does anybody have a work-around????? Thanks.
Checking the Canon web site, there is no fax driver for OS X for this model, so you are out of luck. In fact, looking at several other models of the MX series, there is no fax driver for Mac OS X. So it seems that Canon has once again shown its usual support for Mac owners.
With the machines that can fax from the OS X desktop, like my MF4680, when you connect the machine to the Mac and select to add a printer queue, you see two printer names - one of which has the word fax. To add this queue you need to install the fax driver, which is a separate driver to the printer driver.

Canon Pixma mx452 error code 5011
Hi,
I bought my printer a couple of months ago and it worked fine. Until a few days ago it just broke down with a code error 5011...I came home turned it on and 'beep beep beep'. I am unsure what happened. I know I was running low on ink so I bought ink and was going to change it but the error occured whenever i turned it on. Now I'm unsure if I should return the ink if the printer is really broken...
Please help...Hello admirenkiwi.
To try and resolve this issue, please turn the printer off and back on. If the error still persists, feel free to call us at 1-800-OKCANON for additional assistance.

Snow Leopard Upgrade Canon Pixma iP6000D Error 603 won't connect
Tried everything I know how - downloaded the proprietary and open source drivers, power cycled, restarted, etc.
Can't get my airport base station shared printer to connect. Ideas?Before I updated the driver and firmware, I would see the printer as a Bonjour device but when I selected it, a sheet would drop down and then disappear quickly. After the updates this window then took more time to display, showing Determining Installable Options. Is this occurring for you?
I also found that when I selected the Gutenprint offering, even after the update, the print job took ages to spool.

Buying new all-in-one printer- canon pixma series?
hi!
i really wanna replace my hp 5610 with a better, faster printer.
* fax
* duplex (feeder ofc) scanner
* duplex printing
* five ink cartridges (not combined)
* network access: ethernet OR wifi. which will connect to the router; wireless or wired.
**cheap black ink**
well, i checked out canon pixma series. the real problem is that i dont know what "mac support" mean. at my hp 5610, hp say the printer is mac cimpatible. but as i worked with windows and mac, i can honestly say the mac support is as good as nothing... just to add "mac supported" at the features.
i am a student so i will print much @ black. plus i always scan my papers so i really need duplex scaning too.
what do you say about the canon pixma mx860 model?
if you can recommend other models (*not HP!!!!*) i will love to know.
thanks!PAHU wrote:

I would actually recommend the [PIXMA MX870|http://www.canon.com.au/en-AU/For-You/Printers/PIXMA-InkJet-Printers/MX870].
It has 5 individual tanks with a high volume black tank for text printing.
Duplex document feeder
Wireless or Ethernet support
Mac OS X printer and scanner driver included as part of Apple Software Update
well my hp (which *****) also have "mac support" via apple software update. the peoblem is that its features lacking and even the simplest operations like increasing brightness/contrast are missing.
i would prefer the manufacturer's software is its full featured + ofc mac supported.

I am very happy with my MX 850, a predecessor. I use it for most of my printing, except that I have a color laser printer for really big jobs. I suspect that the cost of consumables is comparable on both printers, as 5-8 ink cartridges print about the same as a laser cartridge, and cost about the same as well. Maybe the laser is a bit more expensive, when the other consumables are taken into account.
Scanning is very convenient. I also use the printer as a card reader, although the computer cannot write to them.
do you use canons software or the apple built-in? can you set a new profile with higher brightness+higher contrast?
what about the duplex feature? for scanning? works well? fast? those kind of details usually arent taking into consideration either at specs nor reviews
