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.

  • Will not down load some music cd onto macbook air using super drive

    I can not down load some music from my cds onto macbook air via super drive. These cds can be down loaded onto other computers but they are rejected by my computer.

    I'm sorry to hear that .  I was lucky that mine was under warranty.  It was a bad drive and the replacement drive that was sent by HP works perfectly.  My experience with HP support was very good.  It took a bit of time to work through all the questions, but once we determined that it was bad, they promptly sent a new one out.
    Since Geek squad gave you bad information, i.e., the DVD/CD drive really was bad, can you speak to them?  They may be able to help with a good drive in the interest of good customer service.   The only other option that I can think of that  might work is to try to find an inexpensive used drive from one of the local computer shops in your area or on the net.

  • HP Deskjet 3050A wireless printing problem with Macbook Air

    Hello, I have a HP Deskjet 3050A printer that I have been using with my MacBook Air (2012 OS X 10.8.3) until a few weeks ago when it seemed to hang when trying to print and then say no printer found (even though it showed and was selected in the Printer options). So after a few weeks of this I decided to to remedy this issue once and for all by deleting the printer and 'refinding' it.
    However, upon 'refinding' printer by adding it through System Preferences no printer is found - I have updated all Macbook air software.
    All this time I have been able to continue printing wirelessly using my iPhone 4S and have changed no settings to the iPhone or 3050A which leads me to believe the proble the problem may lie with the Macbook Air?
    Can you help resolving this please? Thanks

    What router are you using?  Have you restarted it by pulling its power plug momentarily?
    If that does not work, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Restart your Mac.
    Finally, reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • Can I use my epson sx425w stylus wireless printer with my macbook air?? if so how do I link it as Im struggling to get it connected wirelessly

    Ive recently bought a macbook air and have an epson sx425w wireless printer which has been excellent
    when used with my previous laptop and im reluctant to purchase another when its in perfect
    working order, I just cant seem to link it to my macbook for some reason, I cant find my instruction
    manual for the printer but do remember it was fairly straight forward linking it to my lap top
    before?!
    hoping someones had similiar problem and has a resoloution !! help please

    I checked the Epson (U.S.)  website, and found nothing at all about this model printer - no support, drivers, etc.
    I also checked Apple's websites, and found they do offer support for the SX420W.
    Maybe this will solve it:

  • Installing photoshop elements and premiere elements on a MacBook Air without disk drive.

    I recently purchased a computer bundle form my school and I receive the Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12 with the bundle.  It came with two DVD-ROMs and activation codes, however my MacBook Air does not have a disk drive.  Is there another way to download the program with only the activation codes instead of using the DVDs. 

    Yes, download and install the trial version.
    Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe
    Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Premiere Elements 12 | Adobe
    Enter your serial number when prompted and the software will be fully licensed on your MacBook Air. The 30 day time limited trial restriction will be removed.

  • Loading Jam Packs on Macbook Air without CD drive

    Since my Macbook Air (with Lion) doesn't have a cd drive, I recreated the Jam Pack directories in my Macbook Air exactly as they appear on my iMac (with Lion), and copied and pasted the Jam Pack folders/files from my iMac to my MacBook Air using an external hard drive to do the transfer.  Here is where I put the Jam Pack folders/files on my MacBook Air:
    Jam Pack - 4 Symphony Orchestra and Jam Pack World Music:
    Library>Audio>Apple Loops>Apple> (for the Jam Pack sounds)
    Library>Audio>>Apple Loops Index> (for the Index files)
    Jam Packs 2 and 3:
    Library>Application Support>Garage Band>Apple Loops (for the Jam Pack sounds)
    Library>Application Support>Garage Band>Apple Loops Index (for the Index files)
    However, when I fire up Garage Band, it still doesn't see the Jam Packs.  Can anyone tell me why, and what I might do about it?
    Thanks,
    tkaba

    You also do need the Instruments Library; otherwise the instruments to play the loops will be missing:
    The Instruments Library is located in
    /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/
    Ssee what else from  /Library/Application Support/GarageBand you may need, also from the corresponding files in your user library.
    To reindex your loops properly, reveal the Library>Application Support>Garage Band>Apple Loops files in the Finder, launch GarageBand,  and drag the loops  into your GarageBand Window, directly onto the Lopp Browser. Do that for all Loop Folders in your User Library.

    Simply trash everything. You screwed yourself and made a mess, anyway. You need to install the program properly from scratch.

  • 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.

  • I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air

    Hello, I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air.  I purchased this printer in late Dec 2013 and it HAS worked before & continues to "make noise" when it is turned on.  This is Very Frustrating and Inconvient since I have a Business from my home.  Please Help asap! Thank you,  Tracey

    traceyss--this might work on mac air:  on google cloud print i went to the cloud site http://w.x.y.z(put in your numbers) and then menu-utilities-energy saving settings, where i turned off "auto off" (clicking on it leads you to this choice) and turned on "auto on."  then i turned off printer and restarted in 5 seconds to get the changes into the mg3520's little brain:  so far, so good(on a chromebook). hope this works for you!--ceaisland55

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

    Hi,
    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.

    Hello boojoo1tw,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
    If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

  • Trouble setting up wireless printing between my Macbook Pro w. Mountain Lion 10.8.1 and my HP C4780 Printer

    Hi all,
    I'm having a frustrating problem trying to set up the wireless printing between my Macbook Pro 13" to my HP C4780 printer. I had no problem installing and configuring this before on my previous computer, a Macbook. However, when I got my new computer (the Macbook Pro), my wireless network wont show up when I try and install the wireless capability during the printer setup. I had to buy a new router and set up a new network around the time I got my new computer, so I wonder if this has something to do with it. My wireless network is a WPA/WPA2 personal, but so was my old wireless network with the old router and I didn't have a problem installing the wireless. I thought I might not have had the most up-to-date driver for the printer software, but I do. So, i'm stuck! Any thoughts??

    Go here and download all the manuals and read them on how to set up your printer.

  • Problems printing from my Macbook Air to my HP Envy 120

    Hi,
    I am really getting very frustrated as trying to print from my Macbook Air to my HP Envy 120.
    I have downloaded from the HP website the software which is compatible with OS X 10.9.4 and installed it.  My printer is also connected to my Wifi router and prints off a test report and also I can print from my ipad.
    When I install the software and it goes to look for the printer - nothing is found.
    Any ideas as I am pulling my hair out now.

  • 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,

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
