Canon Printer stops working (software issue?)

have my Canon iP4200 printer hooked up to my iMac and have been using it for years with out any problems until today. When i try to print something nothing happens. In the Printer queue application thing in the dock, it shows the document in queue and its status is "printing". On top of the window it shows this message: 'GenericClass: waiting for device' whatever that means i assume thats the issue but have no clue what it means. I have so many things to print for uni and need to get this working again, how do i get it back to working order again??

I did all of that and didn't seem to work. However i think the issue is with VM ware Fusion, because everytime i have that open it displays that printer error msg (regardless whether im printing on Mac OS X or XP), but when VMF is not running it prints fine...

  • Canon Selphy stopped working...

    Hi. My Canon Selphy 510 photo printer stopped working with my macbook. It worked before, but now stopped. I was able to connect it to my g4 tower and get it to print from there (so we know it's not a hardware or cable issue), I was also able to print directly from my camera. I also have another printer on the network that is working 100% with this mac.
    On the macbook, I uninstalled, then reinstalled the canon drivers. reboot, etc. no dice.
    Here's the problem:
    When you print, it fails. And the printer queue status goes back to Stopped. The normally lit green light blinks red just once.
    At the end of this post is a clip from the error log (I set cups to debug loglevel for this). Notice how it thinks that it's out of paper and or ink, but it's not! I even tried to print without the paper in, to force it into a REAL no-paper-state, and this didn't help.
    Let me add, the Canon Printmonitor application always just says Ready, and doesn't indicate any error state.
    Do you guys have any ideas? Could there have been a software update I installed between now and when the printer worked that broke something? Thanks.

    MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    Hi there,
    We have a Selphy 810 and I was going to test this on an Intel Mini, as I'm concerned it may be an issue with the PPC drivers on the Intel Mac, but unfortunately the power supply for the printer is missing so I cannot check this for you just yet. I'll keep on the hunt and hopefully have a reply soon.
    In the meantime, what application are you trying to print from? If its a Universal app, then you could try setting the app to open using Rosetta. This would help to identify if its an Intel issue. Also, have you tried setting the Page Setup > Format for to the Selphy rather than 'Any Printer'?

  • Printer Stopped Working

    We are running OS X Server 10.3.9. We connect VPNs to our office and have a mix of Mac & WinXP Computers. We setup an HP Bus Inkjet 2800 off of the USB port of the Server. We then started Print Services on the OS X Server. For the Queue we used all of the protocols to share (AT/LPR/SMB). All went well to start, winXP over the VPN and in the office printed ok. Out of the blue we can no longer print from WinXP machines. Coincidentally perhaps, the first time a Mac printed over the VPN, with success, we could no longer print from WinXP. Have not been able to get it going again. Restarted print services and the server itself w/no luck. Deleted and re-added printer...still no luck.
    The Log reflects a couple of "Issues". The errors shown are:
    "No Printcap File Name configured!"
    "registermessage_flags:tdbfetch failed"
    I'm hoping someone can provide some insight, I'm dying here! :o)
    Acktom

    Acktom -
    A few questions... Our printer stopped working out of the blue. We completely reloaded the server tonight and they still do not work.
    My question to you: Did they stop working after you applied a system update. Ours did.
    Lastly, do you get a message like lpr: clientconnectionfailure in the Windows service log, Print Services ( I think I have it right)? We get this error. then we check /etc/cups/printers.conf and find the name of the printer is spelled differently. HP LaserJet 5Si vs HPLaserjet5Si
    I think our problem stems from spacing. But our server worked for about 2 years without any real changes. We have traced it back to that system update. For this reason, we completely reloaded the server to try to resolve it. We applied updates after the server was reloaded thinking this was a positive thing. But really, we have the same problem -- no printing from Windows XP clients.
    Our next step is to rename the Appletalk name of the HP Laserjet so there are no spaces in the name.
    I also have found that when we add a printer with an address of 192.168.0.51, that is now the queue name for the printer. Where we have a queue specified as HPLaserJet5Si. I think apple has created some problems here. But we have no support contact and cannot afford their support arrangments. So we are trying and not having much luck.

  • Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working after update to Acrobat DC

    Hello, I have installed Acrobat DC yesterday. Since then, Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working. It always gets stuck at Checking Fonts and any software the print originated from just hangs and I have to force it closed.
    I tried uninstalling the printer and installing it manually, repairing Acrobat installation but nothing changed.
    So, can somebody help me? Thanks.

    A method which is written here not working - because if you start to remove the fonts one by other you will see that the list does not end there.
    I did so
    1. i copied the folder with the fonts from the other clean system and replace with fonts in my system
    2. then i restore the registry tree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
    3. i check system with sfc /scannow
    after these procedures Distiller DC continue to crash...
    In this time distiller crashed when it cheking their fonts in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Resources\Font
    after i rename the folder from Font to Font_ in order to he did not check this folder
    at next run Distiller crashed at the font wingding.ttf after remowing that font he crash at Vrinda.ttf (this is a oficial font of Win7 and come with him) after removing that font distiller crash at the next font name of Vani.ttf (this is a Win7 font too) - when i saw it goes on forever i back my system to normal status and uninstal Acrobat DC and back to Acrobat XI...this version work with out any problems.
    We are waiting a hotfix to resolving this problem with Acrobat DC

  • My Mac desktop went offline and printer stopped working

    My Mac desktop went offline and printer stopped working.  I have attempted everything I can do, without luck. When I attempt to reset my belkin router, the mac will not accept my password. My PC, set up 3" away, is online. HELP

    It means, tentatively, that system files are missing or damaged and you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard. See the following:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • Acrobat printer stops working

    I am seeing a problem where the Acrobat virtual printer stops working after my system has been running for a while.  The symptom is that when printing to the virtual printer, the file appears in the queue, then disappears as if it was successfully printed, but Acrobat never starts up and no PDF is produced.  I've tried killing the Acrobat background processes and restarting them but this does not solve the problem.  The only solution I've found to work is a system reboot, after which the virtual printer functions correctly for a while but eventually stops working again.
    System: Win7Pro 64; core i7 930; 12GB memory; lots of free disk space

    I did the following
    Ctrl-P to print a page in Firefox
    Click Properties...
    Select the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab
    Change the output from "Prompt for Adobe PDF Filename..." to a specific output folder
    At which point the file is printed correctly to the designated folder.
    I didn't have to invoke distiller separately
    Does this still indicate a problem with Acrotray?

  • How to get Canon Printer to work wired?

    I have a canon wireless printer. I just got a cable for it as i want to not use wifi to print from my computer.
    How do i get my Canon printer to work with the cable in it.
    computer is a IMAc
    printer canon MP560 colour
    I have cable in it now. How do i get it to work wired to computer? thanks

    System Preferences - Printing & Scanning highlight your printer and right click and choose Reset Printing System. Next turn off the printer, then restart the computer in Safe Mode which will clear some caches. To restart in Safe Mode, simply hold down the Shift Key when you hear the startup tone until a progress bar appears. Then shut down the computer, connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer and start the compute normally, then turn on the printer and your iMac should find it. If your computer does not find the printer follow Apple's instructions for doing so.

  • Printer Stopped Working - Driver Won't Install

    My printer stopped working, and I have been trying to reinstall the printer driver, but the computer keeps saying that I need "Administrator privileges" to install it, though I AM the administrator for this computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Go to Disk Utility and repair the permissions for the computer. Takes a while though, so go get a cup of coffee or something.

  • Upgraded to firefor for android mobile 8.0 and cloud printing stopped working?

    After upgrading to firefox 8.0 on my android devices (phone and tablet) and intalling cloud printer 1.0.2 addon the cloud printing stopped working. When I try to cloud print I see my printers select the one I want and it says Print job added,but no printing occurs. I go to cloud printer manager and it says no print jobs. Cloud printing used to work on old version of firefox the on preceding 8.0. I know google cloud printing works because I can go to gmail webmail in a browser (not firefox) and print a gmail message via the cloud and it works. How can I get old version of firefox back on my mobile and why does'nt new version work?

    Also Cloud Printer 1.0.2 is an addon

  • Yosemite - Canon printers stopped working 'filter failed'

    This is a curious tale. I have a MBP Retina Late 2013 and connect to a Windows network. I have two Canon Image Runner printers on the network. To install them, I downloaded the drivers, then in ADD PRINTER, chose 'Windows' and chose the printers from the list presented. All good so far.
    The printers have worked fine for 8 months.
    Two weeks ago all MS Office programs started crashing whenever I tried printing from them. I've had issues with Office on a Mac before so, because I was very busy, I put dealing with this issue into the 'eventually' basket.
    Last week Adobe Reader crashed when printing a pdf. Illustrator and InDesign printed fine, however, for a couple more days, but then they too failed to print (but the programs didn't crash). When I looked at the print queue I had the message 'Printing Stopped - 'filter failed'. This happened every time, whether I printed from any program (Word, Pages, InDesign, Illustrator, Reader, Acrobat Pro) or to either Canon printer. A search online threw up all sorts of reasons, mostly having to do with upgrading to Yosemite and the drivers being Sandboxed. But I had been printing successfully for months on Yosemite, and there had been no recent updates to the OS.
    After contacting the firm's IT support (Windows, with few clues about Mac), they suggested uninstalling the printers and reinstalling them. Which is where things got really curious. I deleted all the printers, rebooted, and went to ADD PRINTER, but where the network had earlier given me a list of available printers, there was nothing. Also curious, I suddenly had an Oki laser printer installed (Bonjour). To satisfy my curiosity I printed something to the Oki printer, and it went through. I then searched through the building for an Oki printer, found it out in despatch, and sure enough there was my print job.
    I tried to delete the Oki printer, but whenever I reboot it comes back!
    At home I have several printers (all deleted when I purged the printers at IT Support's request) and I reinstalled them successfully. A Fuji-Xerox and 2 Brothers all print fine.
    The problem, therefore, has to lie with either Canon printers specifically, the Windows network or ghosts. Nobody else uses my MBP and the IT Support denied any recent upgrade to the server or software.
    I really, really, really would like to be able to print at work, and the guy out at despatch is getting annoyed whenever I send something his way. Has anyone had a similar issue, or does anyone know what the heck is going on?

    Is it necessary for you to print via the Windows share? If not, then I would suggest you look at printing directly to the imageRUNNERs. To do so you will need to determine their IPv4 addresses, as the imageRUNNER series does not currently support Bonjour, so you will not see them in the Default view of the Add printer window. Once you have the IPv4 address for each imageRUNNER, you can add them by selecting the IP icon (instead of Default or Windows) and entering the IPv4 address. You then set the Protocol to HP Jetdirect-Socket and leave the Queue field blank. You can then change the Name from the IPv4 address to something more meaningful to you and you can enter a Location if so desired. Then the last step is to select the supporting Canon driver in the Use menu.
    If IT says you must use the Windows share then the ability to see a shared printer has nothing to do with an installed printer driver. So when you select to add the printer and select Windows, you should see the list of Workgroups and Domain names. Assuming you do and select the appropriate one the Windows print server belongs to, then you should get a prompt to authenticate to the server. Here you can enter your Windows domain account and this should result in you seeing the shared print queue. Does this happen?

  • Hp Photosmart printer stopped working

    Ok this has now happend to me a couple of times with HP printers on my Imac - thought it was a printer issue first but there is something i cant work out
    I have bought a wireless HP Photosmart Plus printer B210 - for about one month I had no issues whatsover yet one day it suddenly stopped working. (The same thing happened with my last printer too). I have run a wireless network test directly from the printer and everything is fine with no problems found. I opened print and scan on the preferences and the printer is listed with a green dot saying idle, last used. Yet when I try to print the print queue comes up and it starts searching for the printer, Same with HP utility. Tried reinstalling and still exactly the same issue. I have no other printers listed
    Driver version is 3.5.2
    Please help - it is driving me insane
    Thanks

    You could try 'resetting the printing system': System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on your printer listed on the left and select 'Reset printing system...'. All your printers will need to be added again.
    I've read on here people having problems with the HP software and uninstalling it using the HP uninstaller app and re-installing using the Apple provided drivers may help: HP Printer Drivers v.2.8 OS X
    When I've had trouble with wifi printing I've sometimes managed to sort it by changing to IP printing - you'll need to get the IP address of your printer, probably via its Control Panel.

  • Why has my Kodak all in one printer stopped working properly since downloading Yosemite?

    Printer feeds paper and ink carriage passes twice and then stops.  Eventually the paper is spat out with no ink on it.  Bizarrely the printer works fine if you request a test print or printer head alignment test.  Is this a software issue?

    Yup this truly *****!!! My Kodak all in one printer also won't work either since I updated my Mac Just have to say Apple that it is really disappointing when you are running a small business and you have to spend extra expenses that shouldn't be necessary in buying a whole new printer. I checked your printer updates and sure enough there was every update for every other printer except Kodak. Ah well.. while am going to spend money on a new printer I might as well spend money on a new computer too.

  • Canon 3000 stopped working, can't install drivers.

    So, I've been using a canon 3000 directly attached through usb to my G4 for about two years now. Last week, all of a sudden, whenever I tried to print i would get a message on my print window that the jobs were stopped. The job would appear on the printer window but there would be a "job stopped" on the status. Whenever I tried starting the job from the menu, it would go into the progress bar for a few seconds and then go back to "job stopped". So i decided to delete the printer which i did through the printing prefrences panel and tried to reinstall the driver to see if that would help. When I tried reinstalling the driver the installer shows me the eula and then just gets stuck on "select destination" part, you know, where u select on what hd to install the driver. I get a little progress wheel that never stops and doesn't let me choose which hd to install the driver in. Yesterday I left my installer on in the morning, went to work and came back in the afternoon... roughly about 10 hours, and the progress wheel was still spinning as if the computer was still searching for a suitable place to put the driver. Any suggestions? btw, I've been reading that 10.4.11, the os I have, has a lot of problems with printers... wondering if that might be the case?

    Your problem may be related to the .11 update but I don't believe that 10.4.11 has any particular problem with printers, most of my office Mac's are running this version and it has been one of the more stable releases (we had more trouble with .10). Your problem could be related to a number of things, most likely the disc permissions, so I would use the following steps to see if this can resolve your installation issue.
    1. Open the Printer Setup Utility and delete the iP3000 from the printer list (if you see it). Then click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
    2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
    3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
    4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the file Canon iP3000 xxx.pkg
    5. Empty the Trash
    6. Unplug the Canon USB printer cable and restart the Mac
    7. Install the latest version of the Canon driver. Looking at the Canon Au web site the latest version is 4.8.3.
    8. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
    9. When the Repair Disk is complete, open the Printer Setup Utility again and click Add.
    10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
    11. Click Add to add the printer.
