Drivers for Canon S400 Printer HELP!!!

Hello,
I'm trying to get my old Canon S400 printing, but I am having no luck. I have downloaded drivers 4.1.5 and 4.8.3 however when it came to printing, my printer was recognized as a "Canon FJ360" and when I tried to print, blank sheets came out even though I have topped up all of the ink cartridges. Does anybody know any fixes or other drivers that I could use in this case? I have the printer connected through an AirPort Express N.

I "think" the included Gimp-Print drivers include the S400 - you should try that for troubleshooting. (I say "think" because I have updated my Gimp-Print to Gutenprint:)

Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked. However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.

I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column. Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan. You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.
Good luck.

Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620. Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620. Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

Assuming the MP620 is connected to your wireless network, then there are two components to this device - the printer and the scanner. The printer uses Canon proprietary software while the scanner is supported by Apple's Bonjour service. So in many cases, you will at least see the scanner, shown as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column, while the printer can take longer to appear and is shown as canonijnetwork in the Kind column. If you cannot see either then you have a network issue. Try turning off the MP620 for a minute and then turning back on. Then see if the scanner / printer component appears in the Add Printer window. If you still don't see either, then confirm the MP and the Mac are using the same network. If you know the MP's IP address you can use Network Utility to Ping the address. You can also enable Bonjour Bookmarks in Safari preferences and when selected, the MP620 should appear.

Apple 's new drivers for Canon printers

Apple has just released new drivers for Canon printers. I have an i9900 inkjet printer which is not listed in the supported printers. Will the driver work for me or am I out of luck?
Thanks.

The driver update is supplied to Apple from Canon, who has made the decision to end support for the i9900. They actually ended support several versions previously.
So to print from Mavericks to the i9900 you can download and install Gutenprint v5.2.9 which lists the i9900 as a supported device.

Need to download drivers for canon MP 280 for macbook pro

I need to download drivers for canon MP 280 for macbook pro how do i go ...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As you can see, that printer is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3669
To get the drivers for that printer, you just have to add the printer to OS X, following these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11145 OS X will download automatically the driver for your printer after adding it to the printer list. Or you can download the Canon drivers from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899
You don't need to get drivers from the Canon website. The Apple drivers are sufficient to make the printer work, although you may find software in the Canon website that you may want

HOW CAN I FIX MY PIXMA CANON WITH OUT THE CD

Do the drivers for HP Universal Printing PCL 6 allow printing in color?

Recently I acquired a computer with a Windows 7 64-bit SP1 OS. Since the computer had no LPT1 Port, I connected my computer to my beloved HP Color LaserJet 4550 via USB using a mini-centronics adapter. I installed the Universal Printer PCL 6 in the "traditional" (not "dynamic") mode. Everything works fine, except for the fact that the Univeral Printer will not print in color. (I double-checked my 4550 to make sure the problem did not lie with this machine. I connected it back to its really old computer (Windows 2000 Professional OS), and the 4550 printed color documents with no problem.)
If the drivers for the Univeral Printer PCL 6 do allow for color printing, how do I turn that feature on? I have looked at the color management menu, supposing that therein lies the solution to my problem. But I am completely mystified and intimidated by this menu and have not the slightest idea what to do with it.
Someone please tell me there's a simple solution to my problem.
Thanks!

Any help will be much appreciated...

"will it work?"
Try it and find out.

Snow Leopard : print drivers for Canon PM620

I have just installed Mac OSX Snow Leopard and cannot now use my Canon MP620 printer. I have tried reinstalling it but it continues to tell me that I need to install the print driver software or contact Canon. I have tried to contact Canon and download any print driver for the MP620 that is compatible with Snow Leopard. Their is not a new print driver available from Canon or Apple !!!!! Apple state in their literature that Snow leopard will make sure that the most up to date software is available. Unfortunately the most up to date software is not compatible with Snow Leopard. Considering this particular printer is available on the apple store with a 3.5 star rating I wonder what apple intend to do about this problem? Which printers do work ? I need a printer urgently. Any suggestions out their .cm

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Sorry to hear you are having problems with your printer.
Just so you are aware. It is not Apple's responsibility to update 3rd party software such as printer drivers. This holds true for the hardware sold at the online Apple store. That is up to Canon to update their drivers to be compatible with 10.6.
Also, if you have any 3rd party software, not just drivers for printers that you have on your Mac, Apple is not responsible for updating their software either.

Printer Dialog for Canon S9000 Printer

I dug out my large format Canon S9000 printer and am having trouble color correcting the photographic prints. Part of the trouble seems to be that in OS 10.6 I don't seem to be able to get the printer dialog box from the printer utility. When you go into the printer driver all you get is Canon S9000 in the box and I don't seem to be able to get into change any of the driver settings. Can anyone help? Thanks.

The driver update is for 10.6. If you have v10.36.2.0 installed then at least there should be some level of comparison between my setup and yours.
I talked to Canon support and they told me that Apple writes the printer drivers for the OS systems and not them.
This is not true. Canon creates the drivers and provides them to Apple so that it they are available via Software Update.
Since you are using the same driver from Canon, maybe you could answer some of the following questions: What color space do you use for importing your photograph, sRGB, AdobeRGB, ProRGB, etc.? What color space do you use for viewing your photograph? Do use any ICC print profiles to print?
For the photo that I used to test, it was taken on my Canon EOS7D and imported using Image Capture. The Get Info for the photo shows the colour space as RGB and the colour profile as sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
For printing I selected the Canon profile to match the Canon Photo Plus Glossy, which is shown as GL3/SG3 in ColorSync. When PS was managing the colour this was selected via the PS print dialog > printer profile. When I selected the printer to manage, I used the Quality & Media tab to select the paper which in turn sets the profile, as seen in the Color Options menu.

How to install Windows 7 64 bit driver for Canon i9100 Printer?

When I try to install my Canon i9100 printer on my HP laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Windows cannot locate a driver. Visiting the Canon website, I find an update module for the Windows driver. Canon says the printer MUST be installed using Windows Updater before their driver update can be installed. I have tried everything, but I cannot get Windows to find a driver. Windows Updater says that my computer is Up To Date.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
David

Hi Honeycutt,
The Windows 7 driver for your i9100 is only available from Microsoft through Windows Update. Please try Microsoft's web page for assistance with troubleshooting this:

Drivers for Canon MF4150 and Epson SPR320 won't load (used to be there)

I recently reinstalled my system software for other reasons. Now, I can not print to the above mentioned printers because there are no drivers associated with them. I have downloaded and installed the drivers for both printers three times but the computer does not recognize them. Any ideas?

With regards to the Canon MF4150, the driver installer will add the files to ./Library/Printers/Canon/UFR2. If the printer is connected to the Mac via USB then the software should automatically select the correct printer model when you select to add it via the Default browser view. If the printer is connected to your Mac via some other means, then the UFR2 driver software can have problems with determining the printer model and will either add a generic UFR2 model or not create a printer queue at all.
Could you explain how you have the printers connected to your Mac?

Firewire drivers for Canon i9900???

I had firewire drivers for my Canon i9900 for Leopard (10.5) but upon upgrading to Snow Leopard (10.6) the Mac wouldn't see the printer anymore. I read someone mentioning to try a USB cord for someone in the same situation and, presto, the Mac saw it -- but I prefer using the firewire port (if only to free up a USB port).
Isn't that standard to include firewire support in the drivers? Do I need a special driver?

Update: 10/08/09
FW driver causes printer to hang endlessly without apparent reason. Print cue will show "printing" but nothing happens. Turning the printer off and on again, sometimes several times will usually get it to finally print.
Neither the FW or USB drivers seem to support edge to edge printing anymore, a feature Canon bragged about on this printer and one I depend upon; Letter Extra and Tabloid Extra have disappeared from the dialog box and choosing borderless printing has no affect and the extent slider is grayed out. Furthermore the non-print area around the paper edge seems to have gotten wider with these new drivers, all and all making this printer next to useless to me. Is this Canon's way of telling us they don't really support this printer anymore?
I'm back to the USB driver, which at least prints, after I watch the spinning beachball for 20 seconds. Anyone figured out how to get edge to edge to work?

Still no joy for Canon i450 printer

paranoid pat smells an abode rat
anybody get their i450 to print

I was just about to tell you the black tank was ok
when it sunk in that maybe all that was being printed was color.
So tried test page, nothing to compare to, but something printed, looked black.
Tried to clean nozzle, no joy.
Pages printed nothing but a blank sheet of paper.
Tried to deep clean nozzle. no joy.
So I thought maybe go back to basics and put a few lines in textedit
and throw in a line of red font just for fun.
I saw red and nothing else.
I had a black cartridge at hand
so I thought I would try.
And, as you diagnosed, the old cartridge was dead
Long live the new cartridge.
and thank you very much
