Canon printer only printing a partial page.

I updated to 10.10.1 and my Canon MG5522 will only print part of the page and then it faults for lost of communication. I've tried deleting the Canon folders in the Library and emptying the trash. Restart the computer and installed the new printer driver from Canon for my printer. Added the printer but it would still only print a partial page. Any ideas on what to try to fix the problem. Thanks!!

Just to be sure it is not an OS or driver fault, connect the MG to the Mac via USB. This will either create a new printer automatically or you will have to open Printers & Scanners and add the printer. Then see if you can print a full page.
If that works, disconnect the USB cable to the MG and reconnect to the wireless access point. Then open Safari and enter the IP address of the MG as the URL. This will connect to the internal web page of the MG and here you will see the strength and quality of the wireless signal. If either is below half then try restarting your wireless router so that it picks up another channel, working on the assumption that the current channel being used is crowded.
Also, if your wireless router provides 2.5Ghz and 5GHz channels, try disabling the 5GHz channel and restarting the Mac and MG to see if that improves the wireless stability.

  • Printing only odd/even numbered pages does not work

    I've got following problem: Printing only odd/even numbered pages does not work. Not in Preview, nor Adobe Reader. I Don't know why. i'm using a hp Color LaserJet 2550L. I just worked fine, but I cannot remember the time this failing first occured. I really hope the problem will be solved quick and easy.
    Thanks so far
    Bastian.

    Mine does not work either. I have trashed prefs, rewrote permissions, ran Disk Utility from a separate HD, etc. and I cannot get this feature to work.
    I got 45 odd pages to print last night and now it won't print odd or even pages. I am reduced to printing every backside page one at a time. If I would have known about this problem before I could have saved myself an hour and just printed them all on single sided sheets. I tried to save paper and now I'm screwed (timewise)......
    Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You,

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What operating system? Are there any error messages on the computer screen or blinking lights on the printer?  What program are you using to print?

  • Printer only printing two pages, any application

    I have a Samsung ml-4600 laser printer connected via USB to an Ibook. It worked great for years, but now, no matter which application I'm using (TextEdit, Word, Powerpoint, Safari), the printer only prints two pages. Even if I print using the printer as a shared device, it'll only print TWO pages!
    I've tried:
    - printing ranges instead of just selecting 'all'
    - tried different applications
    - switched USB ports and cable
    - uninstall and reinstalled driver from Samsung
    - removed and re-added printer to printer list
    - removed the printpref preference files from library/prefs
    - repair disk permissions
    - update all OS X software
    Now, I can print from a different powerbook using a direct cable connection and it'll print no problem, so the problem is limited to this 800 mhz g4 ibook.
    This just started happening, any ideas?
    thanks

    Make sure you are using the 1.2.0.224 version of the driver. If you already are, you can try using the gutenprint driver.

  • HP printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages

    My HP all in one printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages documents, prints ok from anything else.  Any ideas? Have deleted and readded printer removed HP software reinstalled software from Apple etc. Help please!

    If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict.  If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this.  To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac.  Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer.  Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well.  I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac.  Let me know if this works or not.

  • My 4630 printer only prints the first page and then cancels

    My 4630 printer only prints the first page and then cancels the rest of the document. I have to manually choose to print one page at a time. If I try to print a document, it prints the first page and then cancels printing the rest of it. It's driving me crazy. I just bought this printer and, other than that, it works fine. I tried the HOTFIX link that was attached to a previous link as well as other microsoft updates, however, am still having no luck.

  • '' Prints only print'' never map directions on PC.

    I have both a picture of printer on my bookmark bar.  When I want to print the whole page exactly like it is......but the printer only printer the wording not the picture directions.  I have printed receipes very good with both pic & directions.  I have a Tosiba Chromebook laptop.  I have changed all ink so that is not the problem.  Also have not figured out how to get the HP appt??  thanks so much for your help.

    Hello @mattesmom1,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are having problems printing map directions from your Chromebook.
    I would like to help.
    A lot of map/direction sites are designed differently then a recipe site.
    With a recipe, the images are on teh web page.
    With the directions/map sites, the image is not static.
    That is why often you can zoom in or out on the map.
    On the Web page that you are trying to print from, there should be a print option.
    This will be separate from the ones you normally use.
    This will bring up a printer friendly version of the directions.
    This should then print the image along with the written direction.
    If I may, what site are you trying to print the map directions from?

  • Printer only prints half the words, HP6200

    Printer only prints half the text.  In other words,  the text is shown only half the size.

    No one could possibly help you with that little detail.
    How about - what printer, what operating system, how is it connected.....

    Hi vicky611,
    Does it print in landscape orientation exclusively from one program, or one device?

  • Printer only prints partial page

    I have all new ink cartridges but when I try to print a page, I only get the top half and then it fades away or I get nothing but a few streaks.  I ran clean printhead, clean ink smear and align printer but that didn't help.

    Hi kay567, Can you print a quality report. Make sure that plain white U.S. letter or A4 size paper is loaded in the tray.From the control panel home screen, touch the Right Arrow (), and then touch the Setup icon ().Touch Tools, and then touch Clean Printhead. The printer cleans the printhead, and then prints a test page.Review the print quality on the test page.Are all of the colours present on the report? Is there streaking, missing colour or text? If so some of the additaionl steps in this document here may help resolve your issue. Please let me know how you get on. Many Thanks,Francheska

  • Sapscript bottom text in Main, just for the last page, but printing only in the last page

    I need to print a text but only for the last page in the main window.
    I have tried with IF.
    IF &PAGE& = &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES&
    BOTTOM
    ....TEXT
    ENDBOTTOM
    ENDIF
    But it prints in all pages in every main window.
    Can someone point me what I am doing wrong or how can I do this?
    Regards,
    Carlos

    Hello Carlos,
    the problem with this condition is the following.
    The Sapscript composer cannot know during the processing of e.g. the first page,
    how many pages will follow. So &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES& still contains the same
    value like& PAGE& and is filled with the correct values only at the very end of the processing.
    (when the total number of pages is known).
    So I suggest you to use the BOTTOM command in the print program,
    when the processing of all item of the MAIN window is ended.
    There is an other variable &NEXTPAGE&.  &NEXTPAGE& will always be 0
    when it reaches to last page to print. The problem with this variable that
    it can not be used in a condition in MAIN window too, only in a separate page window.
    Regards,
    Hedvig

  • Hp psc 950 printer only prints black and white, no driver for Canon lpb 5000

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to install my two printers on mac book pro.
    Problem 1.
    My HP psc 950 printer is only printing in a bad black and white quality - no color at all?? - any idea where I can download a printerdriver that is actually up to date? The one mac book has preinstalled seems not to be the right one?
    Problem 2.
    My may can´t find a driver for my other printer Canon LPB 5000 at all. I´ve already downloaded the canon drivers for Mac book  - so I see a long list of Canon drivers but the LPB 5000 is not there and I don´t find any download of it in the web. I work with os x 10.7 and there is just an old mac driver for 10.6 to be found on the Canon website. I downloaded it but still does not work.
    Hope someone can help. Both printers used to work fine on Windows but I am changing to Mac now and need to get them work.
    Thanks,
    K.

    Canon LPB5000 driver for 10.7 is at http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=LASER+SHOT+LBP5000&menu=download&f ilter=0&tagname=g_os&g_os=Mac%20OS%20X%20v10%2E7
    There is also this note: When using with OS X Lion, install this printer driver, and then register the printer. For information on how to register ... support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100359005.html

  • Printer only prints test page

    After replacing the ink cartridge, my printer does not print any documents, just keeps reprinting the test page.

    Hello @Tuulikki,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Deskjet 1050 is only printing a test page. I will do my best to assist you! What type of test page is it printing? Is this printer printing an alignment page?
    Is this page missing colors or stating failed alignment?
    I would follow this entire HP document on 'Alignment Failed' Error Message Displays on the Computer. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
