Changed ink on Canon MP620 and no longer prints

MP620. No longer prints after ink change

Hi Lruthday,
If the printer was printing fine prior to the ink change, please remove the recently installed ink tanks and print head from the printer, then reseat them in the printer, ensuring that all tape has been removed from the bottom of the ink tanks. Once this has been performed, if the ink still does not print, please follow the steps located at the link below to perform at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings on the printer to try and get the ink to print:
Print Head Cleaning
Print Head Deep Cleaning
If the ink still does not print after performing the cleanings, the printer will require servicing. Please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page to obtain your servicing options.

Canon LBP 6200d No longer printing on 10.9.5

I have a Canon LBP 6200d compact laser printer and it was working fine with the UK CAPT driver. I must have installed an update form Apple or something and now it no longer works. I removed the driver, added it again, deleted this and that in the /library/ folder and re-installed the CAPT software 3.67 and still nothing. It shows up in the USB discovery. I can add it and choose the LBP6200 UK CAPT selection and then it shown a green light idle online but when I send anything to it the light goes yellow and the job spools indefinitely.
So did Apple "seal" up this loophole of being able to print to a printer that is officially not supported by Mac in the US (It seems to be supported everywhere else).
Thanks!

HP 7280 all-in-one says ink cartridges are empty and will not print from PC, but it copies fine.

Replaced 2 ink cartridges in hp 7280 but still says both cartridges are empty and will not print from PC, but it will copy fine. When I try to print I get a error box that says "Ink cartridges empty - replace black and yellow ink cartridges to continue." They are brand new - just bought them - expiration date Sep 2015. Have tried rebooting and disconnecting and reconnecting everything. Same error, but it still will do color copies fine - all cartridges are working. Help?!

Hi tfmartin,
I understand you have a Photosmart C7280 that you are unable to print to from your computer. I'm sorry to hear about this, but I will certainly do my best to assist you in resolving this issue.
Before I can offer any suggestions I do need to know which version of Windows or Mac that you're using and how the printer is connected (wireless or USB). Once I have that information I should be able to help you better. In the meantime, if you're using Windows, please download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if it can assist with the issue at hand
Hope to hear back from you soon! Have a great day

HT204053 I changed my internet service provider and no longer have the email that is the user name for my apple id. Is this just anecdotal, or is it going to cause me problems in the future? I no longer receive any of the mail sent to that address.

At first I thought I had to change the user name on my apple id, but I guess that is not possible. If I want my apple id to be linked to my current email address which is a gmail, I guess I am basically creating a new apple id, with all the complications that brings, right?
I have the same issue with my iCloud.
Should I do anything about this?

Roger, thank you. I wish I had sent out this question a month ago, when I committed the folly of creating another apple id with my alternate email address. Since then, I had realized that I didn't seem to need it, hence today's post.
So now what do I do? Is there anyway to delete that unecessary apple id?
And it is even worse than that...the secondary address listed currently in our apple id is a mobile me one that my husband created, but never uses, never checks, and probably doesn't even remember the password for.

Canon MP500 and two-sided printing

Hi all,
I have bought a Canon MP500, when I try to print something, Two-Sided options (off, long-edged binding, short-edged binding) in the Layout menu, aren't selectable.
Googling I found this is a "common" problem, tried some workarounds (like configure 2-sided printing in CUPS panel at http://127.0.0.1:631) but nothing works.. any suggestion ?

According to Canon support, their printers use Duplex Printing & Margin rather than Layout in the Print dialog. It is lower down in the list.

How to change the font on headers and footers for printer HP Photosmart 6510

How can I change the size and font style of the headers and footers on my HP Photosmart 6510 e-All-in-One Printer series - B211

Hi friend,
it's a really really strange tip... May be it's a Forms bug? I've tried with set_item_property..and.. you're right, it doesn't work..
So.. you can try making this:
- create a visual attribute with an specific font size....
- use the
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('block.item',CURRENT_RECORD,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'you_visual_attribute');
and call it from psot-change....
It works
Hope it helps,
Jose.

Pages streaks on my canon mp620

When I try to print something in Pages on my 10.7.5 Mac to my Canon MP620 by wireless, it prints streaky and voided and is unreadable. If I convert the Pages to a pdf, it prints fine. I cannot figure out why Pages causes the printer to behave this way. Any ideas?

Not sure why Pages would be behaving like this. With any printing the streaks would suggest an issue with ink supply. This could be from the ink tanks or due to clogging in the print head. So to check the operation of the tanks and print head, open Print & Scan and select the MP620. Then click on Options & Supplies then the Utility tab. Then click on Open Printer Utility. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility and via the Test Print menu you can print a nozzle check. This will print small boxes using each colour in the MP620. If there is missing lines in the vertical or horizontal then change the menu to Cleaning and perform some of the cleaning actions available until you get all lines printing in the nozzle test print.

How to get a canon mp620 to work with mac wifi on os 10.5.6

Hi y'all
This is simply a summary of the steps outlined by PAHU and Kappy on the tiger print & fax page who are the big brains here that explained the steps that worked for me on Mac OS 10.5.6. Thanks and respect to those guys.
First thing to understand is the printer doesnt create its own wifi signal for the mac to pick up ( which is what I was expecting) it hooks up via your home wifi set up for which you need a wireless router. If you don't have that you are in a no go situation and will probably want to kill someone.
So here goes (this may take a while!!)
1) Got to System Preferences>Internet&Network>Sharing
check internet sharing
2) Open Network Utilities in Applications when you are attached to your WiFi network, choose Info (the left most pane) and check what the IP address assigned to your wireless router for your home network. mine came up under Network Interface (en1) and was 192.168.0.1 for the router. You can also check this in System Preferences>Network>Airport>Advanced>TCP/IP. Check the subnet mask there too.
3) Install the drivers for the Canon MP620 (i tried at first having used the Cd and then downloaded ones from he canon website. Now it works - this is probably relevant. PAHU says you need the Canon IJ Network tool v 2.66 to work!!
4) Connect the switched on printer via USB.
5) Go to System Preferences>Print & Fax
and if no Canon MP620 shows up add the printer (click +) and choose Canon MP620 and then click on Open Print Queue. Click Utility in the top right hand quadrant.
6) Choose the USB pane and the printer should show up in the window. Click on it and click Network Settings button. Now you are in Canon IJ Network Tool - whether you realised it or not.
7) It should ask you to set up the printer for the network. Choose your home wifi name (SSID) from options and enter the password you normally use. I have a WPA and used TKIP (Basic Encryption).
8) Now you need to manually set the IP address for the router and the printer. In the TCP /IP section of Canon IJ Network Tool set the Router address to be the same as you found in Network Utility - in my case 192.168.0.1. Set the subnet mask to be 255.255.255.0 (you can double check this by looking in System Preferences>Network>Airport>Advanced>TCP/IP). Still in the TCP /IP section of Canon IJ Network Tool set IP Address to something that is the same as your router address except change the last digit eg I put 192.168.0.10 instead of 192.168.0.1. This will be the IP address allocated to your printer. Click OK and it will tell you it is sending these settings to your printer.
9) If you have been struggling with this for a while you may need to enter the printer Settings section choose Device Settings and then LAN settings and choose reset LAN settings to start again.
10) You know you are winning when you chooses Wireless LAN settings list and things look similar to what you entered on the mac. So unplug the USB and on the printer choose change wireless/wired to wireless.
11) Now go back to System Preferences>Print & Fax and delete the Canon MP620 entry by pressing -. Then press + choose More Printers, wait a while and select MP620 in Canon IJ Network when it shows up or choose Canon IJ Network if you get the option . The printer should be there as MP620 with a numerical address next to it. Choose that. You should be off. (NB Repeat step 11 for any other macs on the network after downloading and installing the printer driver to that mac)
12) Now when you chooses Wireless LAN settings list on the printer it should say active.
Print away.
BTW Canon support had absolutely no idea at all to do this although endearingkly the guy admitted that the manual wasnt very helpful........they escalated me to a higher level enquiry and said someone should phone me back. When or if they do I will email them this post!!

OK
Scenario 1
(assumes Mobile Me membership)
Set up Apple Mail in your Mac Pro, iMac, ... and set preferences in Mobile Me to include email stuff
Login to MacBook Pro, Air, ... other iMac, other Mac Pro > enter mobile me stuff there and Bongo! Apple Mail on the second machine synchronizes with stuff set in Apple Mail on first machine.
Turn on the iPhone > Bongo! iPhone Mail will show the same email accounts as on the other two machines described above.
One does not need to re-enter stuff for the sake of it. Mobile Me makes it easy.
On the second machine create a new email account or add an existing one to Apple Mail > Bongo! Details updated on the first machine and also on iPhone.
Scenario 2
(assumes preferences set in Mobile Me for calendars and contacts)
Create new contacts in each of the three machines (that is the first machine, the second machine and the iPhone) > Bongo! Details will be synched across all three machines (okay, iPhone calls them contacts and the other machines call it Address Book but ... )
Create appointments in Calendar or iCal in ... well, they are synched as well.
Scenario 3
On a PC, away from each of the three machines detailed above. Need contacts and calendars (yes, iCal and iPhone calendar support multiple calendars with an overview summary of all, yep, ALL calendars.
Fire up Safari on the PC (Safari 4 seems sweet) > go to www.me.com > enter username and password of Mobile Me account > Bongo!
I suppose it may also be a time thing in sense that many people, self included, might recall a time when every calendar needed every detail keying in (other computer operating systems running different applications). Sure there were import/export utilities or thunks bet these tended to be at variance with each other regarding ordering of data fields, field parameters and in my own experience a bad import though swift was less reliable than re-keying in the details.

Canon MP620 simply wont go WiFi

Hey
I've been googling like a mad and reading through all MP620 topics in the Apple Discussions forum without any luck. I'm beginning to wonder if my Canon MP620 is defect.
The printer works when plugged directly to my MacBook via USB. The printer does not work via WiFi after I've put in the info for my Airport Express (802.11n & WPA/WPA2 Personal security) via the print utility tool - I can enter the info but when I try to establish the connection afterwards via the Setup tool I get a "Could not connect to access point".
Since the printer is close to my Airport I figured that I'd give up on the wireless function and just plug it in to the USB on my Airport - but that doesn't work either!! The Airport registers it, I can find the printer when I search for it on my Macbook, but when I try to connect I get an unkown error (-XXXX).
The firewall is disabled on my MacBook and after running through several setup guides I'm getting close to just returning the printer. I haven't had this much trouble with any software or hardware since I was on PC
Any suggestions or guides are welcomened and I'm of course ready to feed you with any information about my system that you might need, please - help!
(btw, how come you make a printer that can't connect to WiFi through a guide on the printer itself, stupid!)

Canon printer MP620 and Mac OSX 10.7.5 not communicating

After having to reset my Airport Extreme because it was not communicating over WiFI with my ios devices (iPad and iPhone), it has apparently knocked off the printer communication capabilities. Got a "communication error" message. Per some of the forums, I went into preferences/(print and scan) and deleted the printer hoping to add it back in and am now stuck. The add printer dialog box is greyed out and will not add a printer. I added all the current driver updates. Before I just tether the computer to the back of the Mac via USB to print that way, I was hoping there might be a solution to restore wireless communication. Anyone have any solutions?

But when I tried to print wirelessly, it gave the message "printer not connected" with a yellow lightning bolt.
If you tried to print using the MP620 printer that was created for the USB connection, then you will get this "printer not connected" message because the printer USB cable is not physically connected to the Mac.
If you only have the one MP620 printer in Print & Scan then you will need to create another printer for when the MP620 is connected to your wireless. To do this, with Print & Scan open, click the plus button and with the Default view selected you should see the MP620. Note that it may first show with Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. This is for the scanner component. If you wait a bit longer, a second MP620 should appear showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. Select this one and the Print Using menu should change to Canon MP620 series. Click Add to complete and then try a print to this MP620.
Another thing to note. With 2 MP620's appearing in the printers list, you want to make sure you know which is the correct one. By selecting say the USB connected printer (which will show your computers name in the Location field when you select it in Print & Scan) you can change its name by selecting Options & Supplies then the General tab. In the Name field you may want to change this to MP620 USB. Or change the wireless connection to MP620 WiFi.

Canon MP620 poor signal and slow printing

Hi, I have a Mac Pro which is hooked directly up to my Time Capsule. I also have a Canon MP620 which is in another room. It communicates with my Time Capsule wireless and allows all my computers to print to it. My Canon MP620 has been working perfectly for a couple of months without any issues.
recently my wireless computers (3 PC's) which are upstairs were having slower then normal internet. It wasn't that much slower but I noticed that when I went to youtube to watch a video, the video continuously stopped.
My mom's computer was the worst though. The internet was very slow, pages took a very long time to load, similar to being on a 56k modem. Sometimes it was getting 1 mbps.
This would be intermittent though, sometimes the internet would be fast and other times it wouldn't be slow and sometimes my mom wouldn't be able to get on the internet.
I was having no problems printing to my Canon MP620 from any computer, it was instantaneous. To try to fix the internet for my mom's computer I tried changing the network password. So I had to go on each of my PC's and reconnect with the new Network Password.
But I couldn't print to my Canon MP620. It was labeled as inactive. I believe that changing the network password caused the printer to not be recognized by my Time Capsule. I unplugged my Printer and hooked it directly up to my Mac Pro like I did months ago.
I then put the Setup CD in, followed the onscreen instructions, It then asked me for my Network password which I gave it, it then asked me to unplug the printer and place it where it's going to stay. It then took 2 minutes to check the signal connection.
When it was done it said the signal was poor, it said that it could print but it may be slow. I'm confused why it was getting a poor signal. The printer is located in the same place that it's been for a couple of months.
When I first setup the Canon MP620 it had an excellent signal. I can print to the printer but it's very slow. Printing takes a long time for each page. I'm really frustrated, please help.

This is more of an Airport issue than a printing issue. Printers require a good connection because a lot of data is being sent, so it's to be expected that a poor connection will result in slower printing.
The reason for the sudden drop in connection quality could be radio interference. Perhaps someone in your neighborhood is using a wireless phone that interferes, or a microwave could interfere. Try to change the Time Capsule to a different channel (from within Airport Utility).
