Driver for pixma ip8500

I can't find my disk with the printer driver for my PIXMA iP8500 I changed the computer I'm using it on and can't get it to print on new computer. I'm using Windows 7 Professional 32bit.
I tried the Canon site but they only have an add-on driver not the base driver for the iP8500. I have searched the internet also and can't find anything that works - help please.

Laptop doesn't detect driver for Pixma iP100 printer.

Have Pixma iP 100 installed on Toshiba A665 laptop. Was working fine. Then upgraded to Windows-8 after which computer failed to recognize printer. Have down loaded Wx 8 driver from Canon website to no avail. Have uninstalled and re-installed still to no avail. System can't find driver. Any help? Thanks, DC.

Hi dcjensen,
I would like to see just how much of the printer is or is not being detected by Windows by seeing how it shows up in Device Manager, or even if it shows up at all. Use the following steps to get into Device Manager:
1. Put your mouse in the top right corner to open the Charms Menu, then click Settings.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Click System and Security.
4. Click System.
5. Click Device Manager on the left.
In the Device Manager, are there any entries that have a question mark or exclamation point? Also, is there an entry under Other Devices that eitehr lists the name of the printer or just says Unknown Device? Lastly, under Universal Serial Bus Controllers, do you have one or more entry that says USB Printing Support?

Hi newlife4rich,
Before you go through the effort of reinstalling the drivers, I think this might be an issue on the pritner side. What error are you getting on the computer? Also, do you get any error codes on the printer as well like E 1, E 2, etc..?

Need a printer driver for a PIXMA MG2900 that will work on my MacBook Pro Operating System OSX 10.4.11

I have just purchased a Canon Pixma MG2900 printer and need to find a driver for this printer that will work with my MacBook Pro Operating System OSX Version 10.4.11.
I was directed to iTunes PIXMA/MAXI, but it didn't seem to download for me. It did say that it was for IPads or IPhones, not sure that it's intended for use on a computer.

Probably best to go to a library and submit your resume there.

Cannot find the installed driver for Canon Pixma ip6600D

Hello,
I'm pretty new with Mac and OS X and got one problem to use a previous installed driver.
First, please excuse my bad english, I'll do my very best
I've got a Buffalo Linkstation Live 320GB with implemented USB Ports.
You can take the USB Port to use with a printer.
The Linkstation will be a Windows Printserver.
I've connected a Canon Pixma ip6600D at USB Port one and all works fine with Windows XP and Vista via network.
Printing with this Network device uses Windows Network-printing like -> workgroup\buffalo\lp (lan printer)
With Windows this works very well. But now im using OS X Leopard.
So I've downloaded the Canon Mac OS X 10.5 Driver for the ip6600D (can be used for Network printing) and installed it.
OS X wants to reboot, so I think the extension is installed fine.
After this im going to "System adjustments" -> "Printers and Fax" -> "Windows" -> "Workgroup" -> "buffalo" -> "lp"
The Printer is found and here comes my problem: The ip6600D driver does not appear in the drop down list. Only Gutenprint ip6700.
I'm able to print with this driver, but it doesn't work very well and im not able to use CD printing.
So, wehere ist the ip6600D driver? Lost in nowhere?
If I want to search for the driver, nothing could be found.
Searching with Spotlight for ip6600 doesn't find something to use.
Only the installer image of the driver and some web links.
How do I choose the installed ip6600D driver?
Thank you much for any help.

Since there doesn't appear to be an iP6600 driver within the Gutenprint v5.1.3 list, then you could try one of the other iP models, like the iP5200. The key is to find a model that uses the same ink tanks as your iP6600D (and preferably the same engine but that is not as easy to find). If one of the other IP models doesn't help, then you could try the S800. With older versions of Gutenprint I would recommend this model as it would be good enough for text printing, but not that good for images.
If you are unable to find a compatible printer then you may have to look at changing some things. The Canon printer driver has not been designed to be used on the Mac OS X when the printer is being shared by Windows, hence the need to Gutenprint. If this model is not supported in later versions of Gutenprint, then you could look at using PrintFab (which you will have to pay for) or changing the network setup so that the printer is not connected to Windows, such as getting an Airport Express/Extreme. This would allow both OS's to connect to the printer using the Canon driver. Or you could connect the printer to the Mac and get Windows to connect to the Mac share using Bonjour for Windows.

HOW CAN I FIX MY PIXMA CANON WITH OUT THE CD

Driver for canon pixma mp810

after yosemite update i cannot connect with my printer, canon pima mp 810. canon say it is no longer supported!!!!!!!!

You may be able to install and use the MP810 driver for OS X 10.7. Note that its digital signature is not for Yosemite so Gatekeeper will stop you from installing it. To get past Gatekeeper, right-click (or Control-click if right-click is not enabled) and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. You will now get the option to install the driver.
If you have any trouble printing with the OS X 10.7 MP810 driver then you should install Gutenprint v5.2.10 and select the Canon MP810 Gutenprint driver.

Canon Pixma IP8500 not visible in printer list

When trying to install my Canon Pixma IP8500 printer (wireless connected) for the first time on my new iMac I found this particular printer was missing from the printer list, although in the OS X documentation it was stated that this printer would be supported. Although somewhat surprised I downloaded the latest driver from Canon. Surprise, surprise, after installing this driver (an action which was 'succesfully completed') it still was not visible in the printer list !?
Has anyone had a similar experience and/or does anyone know how to tackle this problem ?

Hi Greg,

I downloaded a trial from the PrintFab site and installed the driver, unfortunately with the following results:

Win 8.1 driver for my MX870 printer

Just got a new Dell with Windows 8.1. When I plugged in my MX870, Windows installed a driver. The driver for printing seems similar to the Canon original driver I got 2-3 years ago and installed on my old Dell running Vista.
But, I don't see a Canon driver for scanning with the MX870. I do see the lame Windows Fax and Scanner applet, but that really is lame.
I see that the Canon web page has a Windows 8 driver for the printer. So, always cautious about installing anything- I presume I should uninstall the driver that Windows 8.1 installed, then install the driver on the Canon web site?
If so, should I install the driver with the printer NOT connected to the computer?
thanks,
Joe
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi JoeZ,
You don't have to uninstall the drivers that were already installed by Windows; you can just download and install the latest drivers for the printer from the Canon USA website. Please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX870. Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click the MP drivers file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once you have downloaded the MP drivers file, please follow the steps above to also download the rest of the software for the printer, except in Step 2 you will want to click on the red arrow next to the word SOFTWARE to display and download the software.
Hope this helps!

ICA driver for Canon MX512 scanner?

I've exhausted Canon Support, trying to get a Canon PIXMA MX512 multifunction printer/scanner/fax machine to work on my father-in-law's dual 2.0 GHz processorr PowerMac C5. They do have a printer driver, downliaded from their website, that allows it to work as a printer but the only driver for the scanner function is the TWAIN driver which only works on Intel processors. They suggested that I try the scanner using Image Capture, but Image Capture doesn't recognize the scanner. Canon does not have an ICA driver, and no plans to create one. The frustration is that both the Box and the Specification sheet says that the Minimum System Requirements for the MX512 on Mac is "Mac OS 10,5,8, Intel Processor, PowerPC G5, PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) 512MB." Unfortunately on their website ONLY there is an "additional disclamer" footnote 18 which reads "System requirements vary by application"... a "cop-out" which really means that all the functions may not work on your computer, which means if it doesn't work, you're stuck with it! Even the Canon support tech was frustrated after an hour working with me and consulting his co-workers and reference sources. So.... does anyone out there know of an ICA scanner driver, canon or 3rd party that might work for this Canon MX512? The frustration level is high.....

I'd see if the older version of VueScan works for the MX512, it mentions the MX510...

Free to try it...

Hmmm, I have ViewScan 5.2.19 on my G5/10.5.8 & I don't see that version there!?

Printer Driver for Canon MX310

Hi everyone,
Just made the switch to Mac on the weekend, and everything is running smoothly on my new SR Macbook so far. The only thing I'm having trouble with is getting the right printer driver set up.
I got the Canon MX310 with the rebate that came with my macbook, and it's connected to a PC running Windows XP. I have everything shared properly, and I installed the printer driver (onto my Macbook as well) that came on the CD with the printer. The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out where this printer driver is saved to on my Macbook!
I tried looking at all those drivers that come preinstalled on Leopard, but the MX310 is not one of them, and it doesn't seem that my newly installed driver shows up on that list.
I just can't find it, so I have selected the Generic Postscript Printer driver. Could someone please help me set this up so that I am using the correct driver for my printer?
Many thanks!!

I USE THIS DRIVER WHEN PRINTING FROM A MAC TO A WINDOWS XP OVER A NETWORK FOR THE CANON MX310. CANON PIXMA MP150 - GUTENPRINT V5.0.2 FIRST YOU NEED TO GO DOWN LOAD THIS FILE http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-print/gutenprint-5.0.2-ub.dmg?download INSTALL AND THEN WHEN INSTALLING THE PRINTER CHOOSE THE DRIVER I METION ABOVE.

Hi CynthiaAvey,
Thanks for your reply! We suspect you may have the PIXMA MG2120 printer, which often appears with the the phasing "2100 Series" on the manual and packaging. However, the official model number can be found on the unit itself, typically on or near the control panel. If the PIXMA MG2120 is indeed your printer, you can download the driver from the following page:
http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/photo_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/...
However, if you do have a different printer, or the link above did not allow your PIXMA MG2120 to continue printing, please visit the link below for further assistance. Thanks so much!
