Canon printer software for iMac

Hello,
The support software, drivers etc., for the Canon S900 and S9000 printers that I use with layout software such as Pages or Quark is, in my opinion, inadequate compared with how the same print machines used to function (dare I say, it) with a custom built Microsoft PC. Have we been sold a dud set because we don't favour Uncle Bill's PC's...
For instance, when I try to configure the PDP's with Canon data, nothing happens; it's as if Canon just doesn't belong to that elite lot that includes names like Epson, HP et al.
Or am I imagining all this?

iMac 17 inch flat screen Mac OS X (10.4.5) also PowerBook G4 400.

I did exactly as you recommended below, but all that appears in the select window when highlighting S900 is "Canon ij Printer" (which presumably stands for ink jet printer).
Open System Preferences>Print & Fax>Printing and on the left side delete your printer. Then add a new printer to the now empty left side with . When the Printer Setup Utility window then descends and your printer is on the new list, select (highlight) it, then verify that "Print Using:" shows 4.1.5 rather than 3.9, and then click the "Add" button. After a few seconds, quit Printer Setup Utility, and quit System Preferences. You should then be all set.
Meanwhile I think the problem is really related to the Quark5 which uses OS9 via Classic in this computer. I found that it is using a Laser Writer 8 driver for reasons unknown to me! Perhaps I should invest in Adobe InDesign after all. But first I must sell a few pictures:-)
So thanks again for your detailed help,

You do not say which of the four families of iMacs you own nor the Mac OS version, so that about as far as I can point you.

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 Printer Software 2.3 from Apple: now lists two printers

ISSUE:
I recently ran Apple Software Update, and it installed *Canon Printer software update 2.3*. I now have 2 Canon iP4300 printers in my printer list (System Prefs/Print & Fax) and in all print dialogs.
Is it OK to delete one?
These are listed:
Canon iP4300 (original)
Canon iP4300-1 (newly added and now shown as the "default" printer)
*_2nd QUESTION: EVERYTHING THE SAME EXCEPT..._*
Everything prints as usual without problems (regardless of which printer I choose), and the options and features of both listed printers appear to be the same. But there is one minor difference I want to check. In System Preference/Print & Fax, I click the "Options & Supplies" button to give me more info about the selected printer.
Canon iP4300 (the original) shows this:
Queue name: Canon_iP4300
*URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?serial=A2BD20*
Canon iP4300-1 (the newly added printer) shows this:
Queue name: CanoniP43001
*URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?location=26200000*
Does anyone know what these URLs signify and why are they different?
Thanks so much.
+P.S. I had installed all the latest drivers for my printer from the Canon web site BEFORE installing Canon update 2.3 from Apple.+

The previous driver version was 10.26.0.0, which I had downloaded from Canon. (The Canon Canada Downloads site does not show a 10.26.1 for this model; the most recent is 10.26.0 -- honest; I just double-checked it today.)
The 10.26.1 driver was included with the 10.6.3 (build 10D575). Canon Australia is also only showing 10.26.0 also so I'm not sure where the .1 update came from. The vendor supplies the files to Apple so it seems that Canon has not updated their driver links to show even the latest 10.30.3.0 driver they have supplied to Apple for this model, although they have done so for other models.
Anyway, let me remedy my omission by showing all that is listed for each printer's info (System Prefs > Print & Fax > Options & Supplies > "General Tab"):
*Canon iP4300 (the original) shows this:*
Name: Canon iP4300
Location: LAB's Computer
Queue name: Canon_iP4300
Driver version: 10.30.3.0
URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?serial=A2BD20
*Canon iP4300-1 (the newly added printer) shows this:*
Name: Canon iP4300-1
Location: LAB's Computer
Queue name: CanoniP43001
Driver version: 10.30.3.0
URL: usb://Canon/iP4300?location=26200000
Thanks for the extra information. I would say now that due to the different URL of iP4300-1, the Mac believes that it is connecting to two physically different printers, hence both printer queues being present. However I have never seen a USB connected device show its URL with "location=". I have always seen it as serial for USB connections. Do you have some other device connecting between the Mac and the iP4300, such as a USB hub?
Given that both queues work and are both using the latest driver, then I suggest it would be safe to delete the iP4300-1 print queue. Although there is every chance that it may return automatically after a restart of the Mac or printer.

Canon Printer Software 2.3

On Monday I installed my new Canon Pixma MX870 all-in-one, and it's working beautifully on the wireless network.
Today Software Update tells me that I need Canon Printer Software Update 2.3. What exactly will this replace? I can't figure it out, and I'm not sure what would need replacing so quickly — especially since the Canon site doesn't show a newer download.
Thanks!

Hello Sandra,
The Canon Australia web site is showing the v10.30.3 driver, which appears to be the primary reason for the v2.3 update. According to the information provided by Canon, the v10.30.3 driver was released for the following reason.
"The problem found in rare cases that printing cannot be performed when displaying the ink level in the network environment has been rectified."
So unless you are having the problem above, then I don't think you must have this update. And if your printing is working fine, then sometimes you are better off not doing the update as it can stop you from printing.

HP Print Software for MacBook Pro and Windows 7 gone awry on HP OfficeJet Pro 8600

Almost one year ago today I wrote a post about my first problem with HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911. Today I write my last.
I have an HP OJP 8600, with option Tray 2 included, and auto feed included. My system test computers are:
1. Apple MacBook Pro, OS X 9.5, HP software is the only 3rd party software.
2. HP Laptop, Windows 7.
The OJP wireless radio gave up, so I cannot run it wirelessly. It is connected by ethernet to my router. All five of my computers can use. All of the functions of the printer are usable. For example: it prints, it scans, it copies, it faxes. All functions working. My problem is with the HP software download to the Apple and to the HP Laptop.
I would like to be able to use all of the feature settings when I print. But alas, I cannot. Both the Apple and the HP Laptop have a similar appearing window that opens when you choose to print something. In theory, you are supposed to be able to control a range of paper types and quality, print type and quality, and (in my case with the two trays) what tray to use to select the paper.
I regret neither of the computers perform these functions. And all of the mistakes that I find on the Apple computer I find on the HP Laptop Windows 7 computer.
I don't have the time to test every combination. But I think the table below will help you get an idea of what the problem is with the software that HP sends offshore for maintenance.
The results of the paper quality selection, the print quality selection, and the tray availability are as follows:
PAPER PRINT QUALITY TRAY AVAILABILITY
Plain Paper
Plain Paper DRAFT/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2
Thick Paper DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
HP Bright DRAFT/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2
InkJet
Other DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
HP Bright DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray   Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
Specialty
Other DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray   Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
Card   DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
Brochure
HP Brochure DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray   Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
Other DRAFT gray/NORMAL/BEST/MAX DPI gray   Auto/Tray 1/Tray 2 gray
In summary the new HP Print software for Apple and Windows 7 computers has identical programming mistakes on both operating systems. Under no circumstances can I use the MAX DPI setting.
The user cannot use the features that are built in to the HP software because the paper selections override the locked tray, the print quality, and the unusually small list of HP selection of papers.
It is time to invoke my warrenty rights. There are too many systemic problems with the software and the device. I don't have any more time to act as an unpaid system test analyst for HP.
Who do I contact to use my warrenty before it runs out in a few weeks?

Hi,
Those are not programming mistakes, but those are limitations of the product, please check the printer specifications below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02858465&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
As you may find under Paper-handling specifications > Paper tray capacities, Tray 2 only support Plain Paper.
Maximum DPI is only only supported on Photo Paper, therefore those limitations are applicable.. these limitations are also listed on the Printing Specifications section above, Maximum DPI is listed as 4800 by 1200 dpi:
Color print resolution: HP enhanced photo quality with Vivera inks (up to 4800 by 1200 dpi Optimized on HP Premium Plus photo papers with 1200 x 1200 input dpi)
As well that can be find listed within the Print photos on photo paper or the Print borderless documents sections, you may simply search for Maximum DPI within the user guide as a reference:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03026243.pdf
Those are not an issues with the printer but those expected limitations fully meet the product specification.

How can I set up the canon printer mf4380dn for macbook pro MD318

I can not set up the canon printer mf4380dn for macbook pro MD318 even thought I set up the printing driver already. The printer usually work good for printing via windows laptop.
I tried some way but error appear "unable to verify the printer on your network". I printing IP is available

Upgrade your RAM to at least 4GB's. Your machine can support 6GB's, but upgrade to 4GB's first. Regardless of what Apple says, you need at least 4GB's to run Lion properly.

It is should be installed an antivirus software for iMac product?

Hi dear Apple..
I would like to ask about an antivirus software for iMac product. It is should be installed for virus protection, for example Kaspersky Antivirus?
Thanks..

OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Upgrade to a newer version of OS X as soon as you can.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

Reasonably priced animation software for iMac

I am retired and while not at all well off, I am appreciative of being in the position of not having to earn money any more.
I am currently absorbed in putting together several generations of family photos, movies and keepsakes in as interesting and historically as possible, using iMovie. Unfortunately, iMovie is ok for fairly mundane taskes, If you can overcome it's restrictive/protective baises and malfunctions.
Anyway, I am looking for a reasonably priced animation software to use as a general purpose interfacer for movies and stills and explanations were necessary.
I have spent hours searching and testing softwares but found most lacking in facilities of one sort or another. Enough to make them not worth taking up room on my computer. I have deliberately avoided high end stuff costing many hundreds of £/$. Especially Adobe. I find their software very difficult to even get started with.
Xara exteem pro 5 was my first choice but their animation software will not run on a Mach and in any case you cannot convert their Pro 5 animations to anything usefull format so I am stuck and pleeding for help.
Can anyone recommend a animation software for iMac with broard facilities, similar to Xara Extreme Pro 5. up to, say $200 ?

What kind of animation do you want to do?
For animated humans is Poser Pro quite nice:
Poser 3D Animation & Character Creation Software - Official ...
A professional application would be Cinema 4D CINEMA 4D Studio - Everything You Need for High ... - Maxon
or Maya: http://www.autodesk.com/products/autodesk-maya/free-trial

I need Printer Software for Canon PIXMA MP600

I have just replaced my startup hard drive. I installed OS X 10.10.2 and then migrated everything from Time Machine that I had backed up from my failed start up disk. Now I get an alert that software is not available for this printer. Canon says me that they do not provide the driver, but when I try to set this printer up in system preferences, I get an Alert message "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the pritner's manufacturer for the latest software." The available Gutenprint software does not implement all the features of this printer.
This printer is available on my network through my Airport Extreme Base Station. My other iMac, also running Yosemite, prints apparently has the correct software and prints as expected.
