Don't see a new printer that I added in the printer list

I have an iMAC running Mac OS X.
I have a Canon i950 printer. I've added the print driver using either the version from Canon or from the OS X disc #1 optional install for print driver.
If I use USB connection, then my printer works fine.
I wanted to use a network print server. My same setup for a HP Laserjet 1200 works just fine because I can see the printer in the printers list.
However, I cannot find the Canon i950 printer driver in the printers list. What am I doing wrong? For an optional printer driver, how do I adder to the list of available printers or is there way to add it manually.

Your printer doesn't show up when trying to add because the driver doesn't support network printing. The print system in OS X is CUPS. The network protocols require CUPS drivers (as opposed to Carbon drivers). Canon doesn't provide CUPS drivers, and recent Canon models aren't supported by Gimp-Print (CUPS drivers). The only CUPS driver I know of for your printer is from www.printfab.net.

  • Hp C310 e all in one. Print that is stuck in the print queue, cancel does not remove

    hp C310 e all in one. I have a print that is stuck in the print queue, cancel does not remove says deleting. I have tried shutting down printer, closing word doc, multiple canel all prints. Any Ideas

    Hello mackice,
    Try these steps below to clear the print queue. The steps are listed for Vista and Windows 7 and would be slightly different for XP. If you are using a Mac then the steps below would not work. Please advise what OS you are using.
    Option 1)
    1. Click on start orb
    2. Type in search window: "services.msc" (without the quotes)
    3. click ok
    4. Scroll down to Printer spooler service and click on it in the right side window.
    5. On the left side click stop the service and wait forthe process to stop
    (Do not close the window yet. You will have to restart it here later.)
    6. next delete the print job in the printer queue
    7. then restart the spooler service
    8. Resubmit your new print job.
    Option 2)
    If that doesn't clear it, the next step would be to stop the spooler
    service as stated above
    Go into windows explorer
    (Print job data is collected and stored in a spool file in the spooler
    folder.)
    It is located in:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
    Your print job will show 2 files there Example below:
    00002.SHD
    00002.SPL
    Delete the files located in there. There may be several of them
    depending apon how many print jobs you submitted. You will have to
    resubmit your print jobs all over again.
    Next go back to services window and restart the spooler service

  • Why does my pc not see my new HP 6520 unless I reconnect the printer each time I need to use it?

    New HP 6520 is driving me mad.  It remains connected to my wi-fi solidly all the time, but my HP notebook (Windows 7) cannot see it unless and until I go through the wireless setup on the printer using the same IP etc. 
    I have added the HP printer software to the firewall (Norton) traffic rules and added its IP address to my router, to no avail.  Otherwise it remains invisible to the rest of the network, which is a huge, huge pain.
    Bottom line - I cannot print or scan or use the printer, despite the fact that it remains solidly connected to my network unless I reconnect it from the printer control panel. Seldom have I come across a more user unfiendly piece of kit and would much appreciate someone giving me a steer as to making the darned thing work as it should.

    And that, dear cns518, is exactly what I am going to do and never again think of HP when it comes to buying a printer.  My son, very experienced, runs his own internet business and he had a go and got it working for a while and then, without reason it stopped again and has reverted to 'you want to print matey?,  ,Then best you turn off Wi-FI and then back on again and I might think about it'.
    The printer mechanics seem good, but what is the point of such a useless software setup that none seem able to get right.  Am off to the store from whence it came tomorrow, so bye-bye HP 6520 and over to something that will work out of the box.

  • HT5622 Hello! I change my ID Apple and now when I try to make an update, Iphone show me my old ID and ask the password. Why is that? Why the phone don't see my new ID Apple?

    Hello! I change my ID Apple and now when I try to make an update, Iphone show me my old ID and ask the password. Why is that? Why the phone don't see my new ID Apple? I can not make any update because the old Apple ID don't work any more. I check and I have my new user all over in my phone. Help me please!

    All apps are tied to the Apple ID that downloaded them.
    They can not be transferred to a new Apple ID.
    You will have to use the Apple ID and password used to download them.
    If you do not wish to do so, erase them and download them under the new ID. This will wipe any data in the app and you will have to pay for them again.

  • I have an Imac using the old Classic operating system.  The printer I was using died and I need a new printer that will work on the OS 9.1/9.2 operating system.  Does the install disk that comes with the printer allow the computer to communicate with the

    My printer died and I need a printer that is compatable with OS 9.1/9.2.  Some printers say they are compatible with OS 9.1/9.2 but do they need a driver or is it included with the install disk that comes with the printer?

    As long as the printer is accurately described as being compatible with OS 9.1/9.2, if it needs to have software (such as drivers) installed that software should either be included (usual) or downloadable from the net(usually from the manufacyrer's website).
    Not all non-Apple printers need drivers installed. Some, such as many Postscript ones that connect via ethernet, are quite comfortable using the LaserWriter 8 printware that's part of OS 9. Some of those, though, may need to have a model-specific PPD (Postscript Printer Description) installed, a small document that informs the printware of the capabilities of the printer.

  • Check if in Word document (Word 2013) advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the printer" is set

    Is it possible in a VBA macro to check whether an opened word document has the advanced option "Use fonts that are stored on the Printer" is set.
    I have a word macro that opens and processes thousands of word documents.  The processing needs to be different based on whether this option is set or not.
    Thanks,

    Hi Harry,
    I'm afraid that we're not able to retrieve this option value. The Advanced Options are actually stored as application level. Some of the options can be accessed with the Word.Application.Options property. But there're also many options that are not
    exposed in the Word Object Model. As you can see in this figure, there's no property corresponding to "Use fonts that are stored on the printer":

  • HT201209 The computer insnt letting me update the new itunes. So i deleted it all and now it ses when i try to download a new one that it cant delet the old itunes ... what could i do

    The computer insnt letting me update the new itunes. So i deleted it all and now it ses when i try to download a new one that it cant delet the old itunes ... what could i do

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    If you're really trying to use Windows 2000, then that's the problem. As you'll see on the box, you need at least XP/SP3.

  • I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box

    '''I cannot and never have been, able to open a file that has been previously saved to hard disk by choosing the print to file option in the print dialogue box. Firefox displays gooblygook even though the file name is an html, Windows Notepad crashes, MS Excel does not recognise the file type. MS Word displays goobblys also when the file has no filename extension.'''

    If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
    Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

  • I have a Photosmart 5514 printer that won't update e-print, can you help?

    I don't need a proxy, just need a connection to my server to get going to my wireless.

    I understand you are getting unable to connect to server error message on your printer. I would first unplug router and printer for about 1 minute. I would plug router up first then printer. I would then try to enable web services. If not successful and you get same error message. I would follow these steps.
    1. Obtain your printer's IP address
    a. This can be done by pressing the wireless icon on printer.
    2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser.
    3. Select the network tab at the top of the page.
    4. On the left select networking.
    5. Select Network Address (IP)
    6. Select Manual DNS Server
    a. Manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8
    b. Alternate DNS Server should read. 8.8.4.4
    7. Select apply you might get a warning just select okay.
    8. Try to enable web services.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • HP Office Jet 6700-Wirel​ess Printer-Ho​w to change the Printer IP Address to the new ISP's IP Address

    Greetings All,
    I have been using ATT DSL with my HP 6700 wireless printer. I have had no problems with wireless printing (save the replacement ad nauseum of the ink cartridges-another issue I posted some time ago).
    Today I had Comcast cable installed.  (So far I am not impressed with the speed-Note to self-post on Comcast site re this).
    I still have access to the ATT DSL. The HP 6700 stores the IP Address and SSID for the ATT. network.  As long as I am logged into the ATT Network,  the HP 6700 prints fine.
    When I switch to the Comcast network,  it does not print. The IP Address that is stored in the printer is the ATT IP address.
    I have tried the UPDATE IP Address option from the Start menu. It does not work.
    How do I get the HP 6700 to print from the Comcast network? 
    Perhaps the printer cannot be accessed on two networks and must be removed from the ATT network before it can be used on the Comcast network?
    If anyone has encountered this problem and solved it please respond.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Having similiar problem with HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer - G510g-m. Lost connection to printer when disconnecting ATT DSL and moving to Comcast cable internet service. Comcast technician attempted to assist without success. HP instructions ASSUME that the printer is connected directly to the computer. We have a laptop that connects via wireless from modem, works great. Have the printer connected via Ethernet to Comcast modem. Tried to find Comcast IP address (where is that>), but also could not get the function on the printer itself to allow any change to the existing IP address that I assume is from ATT. Just learned that to get help by phone from HP will cost and was directed to the forum. If you have since solved your issue, perhaps you have some pointers for me. I've also had the laptop cleaned recently and found the HP software disk and have proceeded through the installation process up to not getting a solution. Help please.

  • Hi, Might I know that how to setup the printer setting at InDesign CS6 for the Lable print?

    Hi, Might I know that how to setup the printer setting at InDesign CS6 for the Lable print?

    Label printing isn't something you set up in the print dialog in ID. If your print driver has an n-up feature that might work, but in general you need to create pages of labels to fit your sheets in ID, then print. If you are talking about doing a merge of an address list, read about Data Merge in thehelp files.

  • Error #2057: The page could not be added to the print job.

    I've been making myself crazy over this one.  I'm trying to print a complex multi-page "report" in Flex, but I keep getting this error every time I try to call FlexPrintJob.addObject(page):
    Error #2057: The page could not be added to the print job.
    Here is the basic scenario...  I have created a new control I call a PrintVBox that extends the normal VBox control.  After adding all of the children properly to the component, I wait for an update event (so that the heights of all the components are calculated) and then I call a custom method I have added to PrintVBox that "paginates" the control.
    This pagination method essentially decides how many of the items in the VBox can fix on each page, and splits them up into separate pages.  Here's a somewhat graphic example of what happens:
    (before paginate)
    ***** PrintVBox ********
         [ Item 1 ]
         [ Item 2 ]
         [ Item 3 ]
         [ Item 4 ]
         [ Item 5 ]
    This single VBox with 5 items, after calling the paginate method becomes something like this:
    (after paginate)
    ****** PrintVBox ********
         **** VBox (page1) ******
                   [ Item 1 ]
                   [ Item 2 ]
         **** VBox (page 2) ******
                   [ Item 3 ]
                   [ Item 4 ]
                   [ Item 5 ]
    So, what was once a single VBox with 5 UIComponents on it is now a VBox that contains two VBoxes, each the exact size of a printable page, one containing the first two items, the other containing the second two items.
    In my example that I am working on, my PrintVBox that I have created uses a Repeater to create about 20 HBoxes on the page.  I then call
    myFlexPrintJob.start()
    to show the print dialog and get the user's parameters.  I then pass the chosen print height and width to the PrintVBox control and call the paginate method, which creates pages of the desired width/height.  I have tested this part thoroughly and displayed the resulting PrintVBox on the screen and it paginates successfully and all is well.  After paginate, it has created 3 page VBoxes each holding some of those 20 items.
    I then iterate thru PrintVBox.getChildren() array, in this case which is the three VBox pages, and I call:
    myFlexPrintJob.addObject(page);
    for each one.  Each one errors out with the above error.  The error is down in the PrintJob code, which is part of the Flash framework and I cannot step through it.  I have no indication of why the page can't be added to the print job.  Is there a reason this is happening??  Does it have to do with the Repeater that originally created the 20 HBoxes, even though I have now moved those HBoxes down onto separate pages?  I'm just so confused here.
    I can probably post the entire code chunk if someone really wanted it.  I'm currently testing it as an AIR application using a big tester XML data object on the repeater, so that I didn't need a database and such to create the control and test printing.  If someone really wants to see what I'm doing, let me know.
    HELP! PLEASE!!
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Were you able to solve this problem?
    I am currently having the same problem as yours... I created my own printing classes that do all crazy calculation to figure out page breaks and stuff... everything goes well until the point I want to add these pages to the printJob. I get same error?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
