Canon printer MP620 and Mac OSX 10.7.5 not communicating

After having to reset my Airport Extreme because it was not communicating over WiFI with my ios devices (iPad and iPhone), it has apparently knocked off the printer communication capabilities.  Got a "communication error" message.  Per some of the forums,  I went into preferences/(print and scan) and deleted the printer hoping to add it back in and am now stuck.  The add printer dialog box is greyed out and will not add a printer.  I added all the current driver updates. Before I just tether the computer to the back of the Mac via USB to print that way, I was hoping there might be a solution to restore wireless communication.  Anyone have any solutions?

If you tried to print using the MP620 printer that was created for the USB connection, then you will get this "printer not connected" message because the printer USB cable is not physically connected to the Mac.
If you only have the one MP620 printer in Print & Scan then you will need to create another printer for when the MP620 is connected to your wireless. To do this, with Print & Scan open, click the plus button and with the Default view selected you should see the MP620. Note that it may first show with Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. This is for the scanner component. If you wait a bit longer, a second MP620 should appear showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. Select this one and the Print Using menu should change to Canon MP620 series. Click Add to complete and then try a print to this MP620.
Another thing to note. With 2 MP620's appearing in the printers list, you want to make sure you know which is the correct one. By selecting say the USB connected printer (which will show your computers name in the Location field when you select it in Print & Scan) you can change its name by selecting Options & Supplies then the General tab. In the Name field you may want to change this to MP620 USB. Or change the wireless connection to MP620 WiFi.

  • Problem with HP Printer Utility and Mac OSX 10.5.4

    I have a problem with HP printer Utility. When a standard user adds a new paper profile HP Printer Utility asks to type an administrator's name and password to allow HP printer Utility to make changes. Is it possible to avoid this? Otherwise I have to give admin rights to every user because they have to be able to add new papers. HP printer Utility sharing and permisssions are set to read and write to everyone.

  • LR5 version 5.3 abends when selecting media type in the print module; on Mac OSX 10.9.1. Why?

    LR5 version 5.3 abends when selecting media type in the print module; on Mac OSX 10.9.1. Why? The printer is an Epson 4900.

    I contacted Epson and the following steps resolved the problem.
    Please close all of your programs to Repair Permissions:
    1. Go to your Mac Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities and open the Disk Utility.
    2. Click on and highlight your main Mac Hard Drive in the list on the left.
    3. Select Repair Disk Permissions and once this is finished, restart your computer.
    Once restarted, please do the following:
    1. Open your System Preferences
    2. Open Print & Fax (10.7/10.8/10.9 is Print & Scan)
    3. Highlight your Epson printer in the Printer List on the left hand side of the window if it is showing in the list. If it is not  showing up, continue to step 5
    4. Click on the MINUS sign below the Printer List and confirm deletion of the printer
    5. Click on the PLUS below the Printer List to re-add the printer
    6. Click on and Highlight the Epson Printer in the window and confirm that in the USE field it reads for "EPSON XXXXXX"
    7. If it does, click ADD and the printer should show up again in the Printer List and you can try to print again
    If you are still having issue, try printing from Apples Preview and see if it print fine. If so, the issue would be PS and/or LR and you would need to troubleshoot the program installation.
    We take your satisfaction seriously and hope that we have helped resolve your issue. If you receive a survey from us, we would greatly appreciate if you could take a few minutes to provide us with feedback about your support experience. Your ratings and comments are extremely important to us.
    If this did not resolve your issue, please reply to this email for further assistance. If you have a different support issue, submit a request via our U.S. or Canada Support Site and we will respond in a timely manner.
    Thank you again for contacting Epson.

    You posted in the OS 9 & below forum. What OS X version are you using? What model Canon printer? Canon printers have a test print capability (open the Printer Utility). What happens when you do a test print? Are all the printer cartridges in their proper location? Sometimes when you print "black", the printer uses a mixture of the colors to get "black". In the Printer Utility, check the levels of the other cartridges. There may be one color that is clogged.

    my mac mini build is 11G56 and mac osx is 10.7.5 how can i install latest mac 10.8 and above

    Simply purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store and it will begin installation after the download is complete. Note that it's a large download, about 4.5GB, so you should have a good Internet connection..
    However... if I were you, I would just wait another month or so until Apple releases Mavericks - the 'latest' announced version of OS X -> http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/.
    No need to pay for two upgrades in a months (or so) time...

  • Printing pdf with Adobe 10 and Mac OSX

    After downloading Adobe Reader 10.0.0 I cannot print pdf files on my Canon MP620 printer. Snow Leopard Mac OSX 10.6.6 is my operating system Error message comes up "pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err. number 13". Can anyone help please?

    After dealing with this problem for a whole day, this finally solved the problem.  Not sure if it will work for everyone or if I just got lucky.  Either way...
    I threw out all Acrobat preferences (8 and 9).  I uninstalled Acrobat Pro 9.  Opened Acrobat Pro 8 and printed the files.  I then re-installed Pro 9 and with both 8 and 9 open, I was able to print. Now Pro 9 works fine (without having 8 open) Not sure why this worked, since re-installing Acrobat Pro 9 alone didn't fix the problem.
    Hopefully this might work for someone else too.

  • Anyone having problems with AirPrint HP 5520 and Mac OSX 10.8.2

    Hi guys,
    I just bought my new Mini and my second HP Wireless printer.
    For some reason it does not connect to any of my devices. I have installed all updates, added the printer many times to my network etc.
    When I start my HP laptop is does work perfect to print wireless - but I am unable to find the printer with my iPhone, iPad or Mac Mini. Anyone having an idea what to do?
    I also configured the printer on Mac OSx many times..

  • Photosmart D110a Wireless Troubleshooting with D-Link DIR-655 and Mac OSX 10.8

    Good evening all,
    Apologizes if this has already been posted. I've googled this issue a couple of times, but I still haven't found a solution for this problem.
    I have the Photosmart D110a and I'm running Mac OSX Mountain Lion, and my router is a D-Link DIR-655 and my security is WPA-Personal and the router is running in 802.11gn mode. My ISP is Optimum Online.
    The issue that I've been having is that the printer works wireless when everything has been recently booted up. As does the scanner. However, if it hasnt been used for a while, the printer shows up in the OSX Print & Scan settings page as idle, but when I try to print, the dialog just says "looking for printer" and never finds it, and just says "The printer is not connected" under the item in the OSX Print Queue. Because of this, I have to restart the computer or restart the printer for them to find each other again. 
    I've seen other solutions on here, such as giving the printer a static IP address, and this hasn't worked either. The printer is still accessible with the static IP address, which means it's still got a connection to my network, but for some reason the OS isn't recognizing it or something. 
    It's obvious that the printer works when everything is freshly rebooted, but I still haven't been able to figure out this issue once it's been idle for a while.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi,
    Try following my post below, I believe it might be relevant as the router drops the Bonjour connection:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/losing-connection-to-airprint-a-few-min...
    I would also suggest updating your router's firmware and check if that may help:
