Canon software update 2.4.1 - canon mp830

when i installed the driver update onto my printer, it suddenly stopped wanting to print word documents... if this is the right forum, has anyone else had this problem?

Using System Preferences>Print & Fax delete the printer and then add it back. FWIW you should post here: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard > Printing, faxing and scanning

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port. However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." And then I have to click cancel.
The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series, and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network', and USE: MX870 series. But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
"Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Marty,
It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences. I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:
Resolution
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

"Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the software update server." Running Mavericks, Canon printer. What do I do?

We have a canon printer and it connects fine to my boyfriend's HP. I can't get it to connect to my macbook though--when I plug it in with USB it asks me if I want to install the software, has me agree ot the user terms and conditions, and then I get the error message. I've installed all updates, tried turning my computer on and off. Where do I go from here?

Did you install the Software Update beforehand? I believe you need this so that your Mac's database will update on your newly connected devices. Try the solutions here. I just did what it says there and then restart my computer and my router after all the process and it works for me. Goodluck!

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.

My Canon MX310 Series Printer failed as the software "is currently not available from the Software Update Server"? What is the matter with Apple OSX Mountain Lion?

Mountain Lion stopped working with our Canon MX310 Printer? Why is the software not available from the Software Update Server?

The printer and ICA scanner driver is available from Apple. There is probably some other reason why you cannot get the drivers.
You can also get the drivers from Canon.
But reading your post it sounds like you were printing to the MX310 and recently it has stopped printing. Is this the case?

Canon EOS Rebel XSi Software update won't install in Snow Leopard

I tried to install an update to Canon's EOS Rebel XSi camera software using downloaded images from the Canon website. Image loads, but when I start the installer I receive the error message "Don't have enough privileges to install. Log in as administrator and try again." I am logged in as the administrator and have no issues loading other programs or program updates. I tried installing the same software from DVD with the same results. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry for the confusion. I'm new to the discussion thing and didn't update the entire profile from my last visit. I'm using a Mac Pro and am more concerned about not being able to install/update software because the program doesn't think I have admin privileges. I found the privilege thread in this section so that's where I posted the question.
I know the Canon software works in Snow Leopard because it's running on my laptop.
I'll try the Picasa software option you suggest.

Canon MG5220 driver not available on Software update server

I'm receiving the following error everytime I attempt to add the Multifunction Canon MG5220 printer ... Connected via USB and WiFi both modes fail to install the printer driver.
"Can't install the software for the canon MG5220 series becasue it is not currently available from the software update server"
I've downloaded drivers from the Canon site, however the Mac continues to attempt to reach the update server to get the driver without success. So I've not been able to print.
Strangley enough, the scanner driver portion is seen, but not the printer.

Resolved after downloading and running the setup file for this multifunction printer from Canon site.

I did the canon driver update but now my printer no longer works

As part of Software Update, my Canon inject printer driver was updated to Version 3.0. The printer had worked under Maverick but after the update, it said it wasn't online. I did all the various "solutions" such as resetting the printer, so now I when I try to add the printer back, no printers are "seen" even when directly attached via USB. I downloaded and reinstalled the Lion Canon Driver but nothing works. I have a Canon MP530.
I'm on a 2011 27-inch iMac running 10.9.3.

Had a similar situation and this is what I ended up doing:
1 - go to the HD/Library/Printers folder and select the Canon folder
2 - enter Time Machine and go back in time to before you ran the Canon printer driver update.
3 - select the Canon folder and restore.
That got my Canon printer working again for me.

Canon printer update not available

Software update appears to find new Canon mfp (MX870) software but when it asks to install it, I get a dialog box saying the "software is not available at this time". This hase been happening for the last 2-months or so. Running 27" iMac with OS 10.8.2.
Thanks for any insight!
Chris

Thanks for the response. I found another thread that didn't come up in a search for my problem, but recommended try to delete the Canon folder from the Library. i did that and it seems like that worked. I've bookmarked your link though for future reference.

IPhoto doesn't recognize my canon after update to Yosemite

iPhoto doesn't recognize my Canon any more after my update to Yosemite

Have you run Software Update since installing Snow Leopard?
If so and all available updates have been installed, try re-downloading the current iTunes version and re-install it over the existing. No need to delete iTunes first.

Printer Driver Updates, How Often? (Canon MP560 is 3 months behind)

I have a new iMac 27" with Snow Leopard and a new Canon MP560 printer hooked up via Wifi.
I didn't use the Canon install disk because it didn't have Snow Leopard compatible drivers on it...instead I went to print & Fax and did an "add printer" (it detected just the MP560 scanner). Then I did an apple "software update" which grabbed the new Canon driver package, after that the printer showed up and all was well.
HOWEVER, I noticed that the driver from apple is version 10.26.0 while Canon's latest is 10.26.1 (as of October 2). I don't mind downloading drivers from Canon and installing them but I'm wondering about a few things.
1. How long does it usually take for manufacturers drivers to get to Apple's update server? 3 months seems like a long time.
2. If I manually install drivers from Canon now, will future driver updates from Apple's server still be detected and install properly?
3. In "print & fax" under "options and supplies" I can see the driver version for the printer. However there doesn't seem to be any way to see the version for the scanner driver. According to the Canon site the scanner driver has a different version than the printer driver. How can I see the version number for the scanner driver to check if it's up to date?
I'm mainly interested in an answer to #3 above. Canon has a CUPS printer driver, a scanner driver, an ICA driver and an "MP driver" all for OSX 10.6 I'd like to know how to find out which ones are already installed before I install new ones.
System profiler only seems to show the CUPS driver version.
Thanks!

Printer manufacturers must deliver drivers to Apple if they are to be included with an OS X distribution. As for Canon's version branding you would need to ask them since Apple does not produce printer drivers except for Apple-made printers, and Apple doesn't make printers anymore.
If newer drivers become available for an installed printer then Software Update will download them only if they are available through an Apple update.
Since scanner drivers are not the same as printer drivers and a manufacturer may have more updates for one than the other, don't expect to find version numbers to be the same.
Scanner modules may be in many different locations. Download Easy Find - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and use it to locate the scanner software files for your model.

Lost admin rights - install Canon software

I've been trying to install a Canon Digital Solutions disc, and keep receiving the same error - I don't have the necessary access privileges, please log out and log in as an administrator.
The account that I am using has full admin rights, and I have not made any changes to the computer since purchasing it, except for uploading software updates. The computer already came with v10 of the Mac OS, which appears to be a cause of a lot of the faults that I can find.
Can anyone help, I'm new to Mac's and don't want to start messing around with the back end if this can be helped. Of course, to make it better, I am not in my home country, and therefore don't have access any of my software discs for a couple of weeks.

All three show that I do have admin rights, in terms that I have the short name, then underneath have 'Admin' in the line underneath.
I have another account that is called Guest, which has the text 'Login, Sharing' so I assume that this is the access for each account. My apologies, all Mac terminologies are new to me.
I can 'print screen' (to use a windows terminology) if you can inform me of how this function works on a MacBook.
