Canon printer setup query

(Please keep any responses as non-techie as possible please!)  At present I have a Pixma ip4200 printer connected to my PC by a USB cable.  I also have a laptop connected to the printer via a router ( no WPS button)  I'm in the process of buying a Pixma MG6650 .  Having downloaded the manual for this, I'm not finding the instructions very clear. 
My question is, will I be able to have both printers working using the same arrangement ( MG6650 connected to my PC by USB and to the laptop wirelessly, through the router? Or is there another way?
Regards, and thanks in advance

Thanks John,
But that is the site I downloaded latest driver
installed same, but when I try to add the printer it thinks for a while,
then I get the message that there is no software in apple update
and all I can do is cancel the install
Seems like Canon provided a driver but Apple can't deal with it
I also went to apple to look at supported printers and the 9500 is listed
on the 10.8 list
What gives???

  • My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printer can no longer find my wireless network. My MAC is, Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and Canon LAN printer setup routine many time. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printercan no longer find my wireless network. (It worked fine until recently) I have a Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and the Canon LAN printer setup routine many times. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.

  • Canon Wireless Printer Setup on MacBook Air without Super Drive access

    I just bought a Canon Pixma MX 920 Printer and can't figure out how to install the wireless setup and the printer drivers without using the startup CD as I don't have access to a Super Drive.  I have a 3 month old Mac Air using Mountain Lion and I'm also trying to set this up on an older Mac Air. The Canon website has been no help at all.  I'm installing this for a family member while visiting from out of state so I'd like to do this before I leave Monday.  Suggestions?

    You can download Apple's drivers:
    Apple Canon Laser Printer Drivers 2.0
    Apple Canon Printer Drivers 2.11
    You can also go to Canon's support site to locate and download drivers for specific printers.

  • How to setup airprint with my canon printer

    How to setup airprint with my canon printer asnd ipad 3

    Is your printer on the list of Airprint enabled printers?  If it is, you set it up through your home computer and your iPad should recognize it.  If it is not, you can not make a non-Airprint printer Airprint enabled.

  • Where is the "setup" button on a canon printer MX 452

    Where is the "setup" button on a canon printer MX 452. Does anybody know? I'm supposed to push it to align the print head.

    What OS are you running?
    There is no hardware WPS button on the TC.. you can use it via the airport uitlity.
    The latest utility has added it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1628
    It is also possible also in 5.6 utility.
    Start the manual setup.. go to the top menu.. it is not in the main box. Add wireless clients.
    That brings up a hidden page in the AU
    Personally I have always done it manually via the printer wizard and simply setup wireless in the printer as infrastructure mode with the correct wireless name and password/security settings..
    WPS is a security risk.. apple only initialise it when you bring up this menu.

  • Canon IP4300 Printer setup

    Greetings,
    I realize that printer setup settings have to be done while the printer is conected via USB and that seems to work fine except...
    I have 2 logical printers pointing to my one physical printer. One for USB and one for wireless. The settings seem to only take place for the USB printer - i.e. I have an auto shutoff setting set - it seems to be ignored when I do wireless printing but works fine when the printer is connected via USB - is there anyway that the "usb" settings can be used by the "wireless" printer
    Thanks,

  • TS3938 Can no longer scan with my MP800 Canon printer

    I've seen lots of posts on this, and it is extremely frustrating that I'm starting to think it's just assumed that the owners of MP800 Canon printer/scanners will just toss out a perfectly good, little-used piece of hardware and buy something new. I've tried going to the HP site, loading the new drivers, etc.  I've also tried changing from MP Navigator to Image Capture, but nothing happens when I open the Scanner, except for an empty screen that turns completely white when I click on Show Details.
    I am REALLY disappointed in Apple OS update.  In the PC world (which I bought a mac to get away from) I would just uninstall the entire printer, then re-install it and count on the correct drivers etc. to be loaded.  I've tried to find a way to do this on the forums, but no luck.  Is there any way to un-install the printer/scanner completely?  And then re-install it to pick up the new drivers/software or whatever, that would work?

    Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers should resolve this issue.  Please perform the following to remove the currently installed drivers:  (If any items are not listed, move on to the next step.)
    1. Open Finder
    2. Open the 'Library' folder.
    3. Open the 'Printers' folder.
    4. Open the 'Canon' folder.
    5. Send the 'BJ Printer' folder to the trash.
    6. Return to the 'Library' folder.
    7. Open the 'Receipts' folder.
    8. Locate any items related to your printer and send them to the trash.
    Leave the 'Canon Printer Drivers.pkg' file in the folder if it happens to be listed.
    9. Return to the 'Library' folder.
    10. Open 'Image Capture'.
    11. Open the 'Twain Data Sources' folder.
    12. Send any Canon files related to your printer to the trash.
    13. Open the Applications folder.
    14. Open the Canon Utilities folder.
    15. Send the MP Navigator to the trash.
    16. Restart your computer.
    To get your MP800 Canon printer operating , please follow these steps:
    Download  the following  drivers:
    mcpd-mac-mp800-10_51_2-ea11.dmg
    msd_-mac-mp800-12_13_3-ej7.dmg
    mpnosx207ej7.dmg
    Once the downloads are completed,   open each installer package to begin setup.
    Once this process is completed, try scanning and printing with your MP800 Canon printer.

  • Printing to Canon Printer IR c2880 - Problem

    Printer appears to be online and functioning (IP address works fine and html access shows the printer operational)
    attempted to connect via printer setup (sees the printer, added the printer using the IPP, selected the Canon driver v4.0 for the printer
    looks like I can see all the functionality for the printer, but it never prints.  Just goes into "PAUSE" mode every time.
    It's 2013 and I really don't want to delve into the bowels of print driver diagnostics.  What options / solutions can folks offer ?
    thanks
    SH-Admin

    Yep...tried several settings.  I don't see any error messages.  I still get the same response when trying to send to the printer.  All print jobs go into pause mode on the computer.  Never seems to make it into the print queue on the printer.  Worked with dozens of printers in other organizations.  Not seen this one before.
    where can I find diagnostics to figure this out (all the config tools from Canon are built for Windows...nc)
    thanks

  • How do I set up a Canon printer that is asking for a WPS button?

    I am trying to set up a Canon printer and cannot figure out how to do it with Airport Extreme as they are asking for a WPS button to be pushed....Please Help!

    What operating system is being used on the computer that is configuring the printer and AirPort Extreme?
    Apple has not supported the WPS type of setup for some time, so it may likely be necessary to use the manual setup option to configure the printer. Check the printer documentation for that procedure.
    In this type of setup, the printer connects just like a laptop. You search for the wireless network, select it and enter the password to connect.

  • CAN'T GET PRINTER TO ADD IN PRINTER SETUP UTILITY

    I've recently purchased a Epson DX4850 printer for use on a Mac using 10.3.9. I installed without problem and it worked fine for first 4 days. Then the driver seemed to disappear. I tried to readd through printer setup utility but it came up with message "SERVER ERROR SERVICE UNAVAILABLE". I tried reinstalling, redownloading driver from Epson website, deleting prefernces and reinstalling but it wouldn't work.
    I don't get the message anymore but when I try to add printer it says its found printer driver do I want to refresh the screen but then when I click ok nothing happens.
    Under Epson USB it's blank and under USB it has Stylus driver with a ? and not installed.
    I've had the printer checked and that works fine.
    CAN ANYBODY PLEASE HELP ?

    Sorry Hirsty I can't help but just to go on the list that I"m having similiar problems with my Canon ip4200. I'm running 10.3.7 and can't even find the drivers even though I've installed them from the disc and then from a download. Still won't show up.

  • Printer Setup Utility will not allow new driver to be added

    I just bought a Canon Pixma MP960, installed the drivers and then downloaded the driver from their website. When I go to add a new driver in Printer Setup Utility--i highlight the MP960 connected thru USB, but the 'add' feature is not lit up. When i have it search for new drivers, it detects a new driver, but when I hit 'add'--Printer Setup Utility "unexpectedly quits" every time. The only drivers in there are beta thingies that do not work w/ my printer.
    The Canon tech guy says that there is a problem with my Printer Setup Utility--but i can't seem to find a solution online. I don't know much about macs, but can I update the Printer Utility program or something? help!

    Part of the problem might be if you actually have more than one version of the driver for the printer installed on the computer. Check the drivers at Mac OS X disk/Library/Printers/Canon/ and make sure there is only one plugin for the printer. If you have more than one, trash both and download and install only the driver from Canon that is compatible for Mac OS X 10.4.x. After you install the driver, run Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility. If you have only one correct printer driver plugin installed, it should work.

  • How to get a newHP driver to appear in the Printer Setup Dropdown box?

    I asked this question in a slightly different way in another thread, but I think it was too specific. The problem is that I installed the new driver for an HP OfficeJet 6110 and it works fine via USB, but it is ultimately a remote printer. The wireless Print server works fine with another windows PC and I can ping it via the Mac and get it to spool with the generic driver (gibberish). HP mounts the driver like an application and it doesn't appear in the Printer Setup as one of the options, and I don't know how to get it to appear there. I've searched the forums and Gimp appears to work on Epson/Canon, etc., but not HP, so I'm at a bit of a loss.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I have the same problem. Attempting to add a printer, Stylus Photo R200 (USB OS 10.4.11) to the Printer List I get the same error message, "client=error-request-value-too-long". I've reinstalled drivers multiple times to no avail.
    Somebody out there know what to do?

    What if you change the driver name to something else, does it work?
    - Login to System Administrator Responsibility
    - Navigate to Install > Printer > Types
    - Query "--PASTA Universal Printer Type"
    - For Style DYNAMICPORTRAIT, change the driver to PASTA_PORTRAIT (or any other driver name)
    - Bounce the CM
    - Check then
