Epson and Canon printers not working with 10.7.5

Anyone know if there is a fix for Epson and Canon printers for 10.7.5? Did Apple intentionally switch off printer drivers to force us to upgrade to Mountain Lion? I called Epson technical support and they mentioned it's a well-known issue and they said to "wait for an Apple update". I doubt that will fix the issue. My Canon printer stopped working for months already and there is still no fix.

Hey there zoneinfinite!
I have an article here that can help you find and manually install the most updated printer drivers for your specific printers:

    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

    2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store?  Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?

    Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
    The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
    If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one.

  • I started to download Maverick but then read that Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick.  I hit pause on the download. How do I stop the download.  In non technical terms please!

    How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro?  I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work  with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time.  I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.

    I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade".  So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it?  I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download.  I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
    I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system.

  • Canon Pixma MP-540 (and other) does not work with Cups 1.4

    Since Cups 1.4 my printer does not work
    its 100% about Cups 1.4 beceause after an downgrade to 1.3 it worked perfect. After upgrade to 1.4 again nothing worked.
    So my question, could there be maybe a package called cups-legacy. I heard about other Canon printers + non canon printers which not work with Cups 1.4 in case of binary distributed drivers

    I had a similar problem with my MP780 and solved it by adding a custom udev rule. See http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cup … ermissions. This is my udev rule:
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTR{idProduct}=="1707", GROUP:="lp", MODE:="0660"
    and lsusb output:
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:1707 Canon, Inc. PIXMA MP780 Scanner
    . Hopefully this will be fixed by hal/devicekit/udev upstream but it all seems a bit of a jumble atm, to me anyway.

  • Canon Selphys not working with Gutenprint

    Is there anybody who can confirm that a Canon Selphy (any model) printer (sublimation) is really working with Guteprint drivers (comes with Snow Leopard)? Because there is reports everywhere that they are not working:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10078893&#10078893
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10028860&#10028860

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10163518&#10163518
    Mine is not working with Gutenprint either. I have Canon Selphy CP-740. I downloaded even the newest gutenprint drivers (5.2.4) but no.
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    I have the exact same symptoms as in the first three post in the first thread above: The driver reports that it's 100% ready, but nothing happens. With the updated 5.2.4 it takes the paper inside the printer and then stops there!
    Of course I got it working with the original (old) Canon drivers from Canon's homepage, like some other people on those threads. But the Canon driver is not nearly as good, because there is so darn few adjustments. Gutenprint would have been much better.
    So - Is there any Sephys out there actually working with Snow Leopard's Gutenprint drivers?

    Hi Experts,
    Crystal report version 8.5 hangs and eventually crash when i export my report to csv or rtf format on windows 7 with office 2013 installed, code is written in VB 6 although the same scenario is working with office 2010 installed.

    Hi Mohit
    CR 8.5, being about 15 years old, does not support Windows 7. I am surprised this works for you with MS Office 2010 and to be honest, I'd consider my self lucky there. The fact that is does not work with office 2013... well, like I said, lucky with Office 2010 and your luck ran out with Office 2013.
    Your option; rewrite the app in VS 2010 / 2012 / 2013 and use the CR Assemblies for VS .NET from SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET. The CR Java SDK would be another option.

  • Canon UFRII not working with IR C5180

    Sadly I spent hours on this issue at a client yesterday with no resolution.
    Not using UFR but just the Canon PPD I can print fine from all stations (both 10.5 and 10.6). The client needs to be sending department ID's along with the print jobs for accounting purposes and so I began my (not)love affair with UFRII.
    1) The IR C 5180 is listed as a supported model and I can can add (LPD, per Canon's instructions as well as suggestions here) the printer without issue.
    2) From both the print queue dialog (via System Prefs) and the print dialog from various applications I've confirmed successful bidirectional communication with the printer.
    3) I can send a print job with a department code but then UFR immediately pops up an error saying something like "Cannot communicate with the printer..." obviously leading to no job showing up at the printer.
    4) I can load the web interface for the C5180 but I don't admin the printer so I'm not going to make changes there as i don't know who I might hurt in the process. (I'm there to help 4-5 Mac users in an otherwise Windows environment.)
    I've reset the printing system, restarted the computer, attempted this on two different computers and also followed suggestions found here for manually removing some files after attempting an uninstall before reinstalling UFR. I'm sure I tried more than that yesterday but suffice it to say I did a lot of troubleshooting all of which boils down to the four points above.
    I opted for trying the UFR because that seems to be the way Canon intends for this to be working. Unfortunately at some point in the past this all worked fine and my digging up of old machines at the client seems to show that it was working using a PS driver. The latest version of this I see on the C5180 download page is 1.81 from February of 2008.
    The client needs this working ASAP so my question is do I keep banging my head against UFR or simply try to recreate the goodness of the past using a PS driver from over two years ago? Any input/insight is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately you may need to keep banging your head with the UFR2 driver. The current PS drivers (the v2.11 'CUPS' and v1.81) do not work on Snow. And according to my Canon contact the PS driver for SL is not due till the middle of May.
    With reference to Point 2, can you confirm that you are able to open the UFR II Printmonitor and get information about the iRC5180 configuration. If this is working okay then it does confirm you have a bidirectional path to the printer and would suggest that the printing problem lies elsewhere.
    If the above is working, then the machine firmware could be the fault. To use the v2.06 UFR2 driver, you need the firmware to be relatively recent. The latest system version for the iRC5180 series is v92.06. If the machine is running a system that is considerably older, such as v80 or earlier, then a Canon tech should be called to update the machine. The firmware version can be found by opening the iRC5180 web page and select Device then Device Information. The entry Controller Version will list three numbers separated by full stops. The first number is the main board firmware version.
    If the firmware is later than v80, then would you be able to post back here the cups error log information pertaining to one of the failed print jobs for the UFR2 driver? I would like to look at what the log says before the 'Cannot communicate' message appears.

  • Canon scanner not working with MacBook Pro.

    I wonder if anyone is able to help. I recently bought a Canon MG5550 Printer/Scanner and I am having trouble with scanning. When I press the scan button on the printer nothing happens, not evening a warning message. I have tried using a cable and this hasn't improved the sitation. When I go onto Preview, I can select "Import from Canon MG5550 Series" under "File" but I get a message saying that the software for this device hasn't been downloaded, even though it has. I notice that on this page the MG5550 isn't recognised, and I wonder id this could explain the sitation http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US#canon-inkjet. Anyone know any way around this?

  • Epson Perfection 2450 scanner not working with Mavericks

    My Epson Perfection 2450 scanner stopped working when I upgraded to Mavericks, it is not recognizing the scanner. Tried restarting, using a different USB cable, a different USB port, etc...with no luck. The issue is that my computer no longer seems to recognize that I plugged it in. Tried it with Image Capture, Photoshop, Preview and even the old Epson software.
    I tried downloading the Epson Scan Patch for Mavericks released on Oct 31, 2013. That did not help either.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.3.
    Love this scanner and don't want to have to buy another. Any help to get my Mac to recognize it would be greatly appreciated.

    Syd,
    My wife's iMac with 10.6.6 stopped working with her Epson 2480 Photo scanner. Get the error message "SCANNER reported an error. An error has occurred during scanning" I am trying to use it from the Image Capture App or from the print/fax option in Settings which opens Image Capture. I ran the uninstall program and then reinstalled the ICA 13969 .dmg but get the same error. Not sure what else I can do.

  • Local printers not working with 2504 WLC

                       I have a 2504  WLC with 3 1262 WAPs in lightweight mode.
         Clients connect using WPA2 PSK AES with no problem.  Clients are Windows XP Home SP3.  Test pages end up in print queue and eventually get a error printing status.  Clients are not part of a domain and in a standalone workgroup - techstream.
    Printer can be pinged from wireless client.
    Another 1262N WAP in standalone mode connected to same lan from windows 7 sp1 clients have no problem printing to a local printer.
    What does work on the Windows XP Home client is connecting to a network shared printer authenticating with domain admin id and password and it works.  Reboot and the network shared printer can not connect multiple reasons are "access is denied" and message box says "only security tab will be displayed....."   Another Windows XP Home SP3 client on reboot can't open the network shared printer with message "Can't find printer"
    The local printers do work on these pc's with an old colubris router that has an outside interface on our lan and internal network with clients getting dhcp address from colubris router of 192.168.3.XXX  . 
    What is wrong with the wireless 2504 WLC?
    Thanks
    Broadcast forwarding was enabled.

    Although a cisco tech support was helpful in making sure multicasting was enabled and a multicast server defined, the problem was at the CP2025DN printer. It had old network ip mask and gateway configured on the printer.
    The new devices were part of the new network configuration (Mask and gateway had changed). I didn’t change that printer when I changed all the other printers at the facility because it was still active thru the old wireless network. I forgot to change the printer ip config when I brought the new wap on the new wireless network with the wlc 2504.
    End result was the clients were part of a different subnet and gateway configuration then the printer and this disrupted the communication between clients and the printer. Once I corrected the mask and gateway on the printer to be the same as the dhcp scope of the wireless network, communication and printing worked.
    Problem solved.  User error

  • Adobe and Microsoft Word not working with upgrade 10.10 Yosemite

    I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10.  Now my Mac Microsoft Word 2011 and Adobe keep closing and will not work properly.  I feel like my computer is slower.  It definitely takes way longer to start up.  Any suggestions?  My computer is still under warranty, but it is hard to find time to take it in.  I only upgraded my laptop and not my desktop yet.  This laptop is a Macbook Pro (15-Inch, Late 2011), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory: 16 BG 1067 MHz DDR3, HD: 119.99 GB free of 498.88 GB.  I know I need more HD space.  I emptied trash and took off apps I do not use.  I'm not sure what to buy for my Mac that is compatible to increase speed and HD space, but it is slower after the upgrade.  I use a Lacy External HD for time machine.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Francine, thank you for answering the very simple question I had about whether or not Photoshop Elements 6 was compatible with 10.5.5. I spent hours on the phone today with Adobe, being transferred around and trying to get a straight answer. I never got one from Adobe. The same thing happened when I called Apple. I realize that Apple is not the manufacturer, but hoped they might have an answer because they sell the software and should know if it works with their current OS. Since the system requirements on Adobe's and Apple's websites still say it only works with systems up to 10.5.2, sales and technical support people just read that back. I can read the same specs too, but I realize that 10.5.5 is new and that it is possible that they just may not have updated the info on the web or in their scripts to reflect this. Apparently, actual users like you and several others are saying it works fine with no issues. It's really nice to know how easy it is to find answers here when you can't get the help or answers you need from the manufacturer. It seems like all they do is read a script, and even supervisors just don't want to be bothered. They should realize that 10.5.5 is the current OS since mid-September, and if they don't provide accurate info then people won't know whether or not to purchase the software. I was hesitant because I didn't want to waste the money to find out if it would or would not work. But now that I see others are using PSE 6 without a problem in 10.5.5, I have the answers I need and I feel more confident about buying the software.
