Error 13 message when trying to addd Canon printer

We have a Canon IP2000 USB printer, which we have been using with our Imac for about 8 months. Suddenly we got a failed communication message and it would not print anything. The printer still works when connected to my ibook and it did still print test sheets. We have tried numerous things without success.
We have now uninstalled it and tried to reinstall but Printer setup utility now locates the printer but then comes up with a message saying unable to add printer error 13.
It is very frustrating being unable to print.

Generic print fixes - do these one at a time. Restart and try adding after.
Delete and re-ADD the printer(s) in Printer Setup.
Repair permissions (Disk Utility).
Delete Print Prefs - search for (File>Find) files that start with com.apple.print and delete them all and reboot.
Reset Printing System (new in Tiger) - In Printer Setup, click this menu item found just above Quit Printer Setup.
If there is a downloadable Combination Updater from Apple, use it to re-Update OS X.
Try Printer Setup Repair from www.fixamac.net.
Use a Disk Utility like Disk Warrior to repair the HD.

    I continue to get an error 37 message when trying to restore my iphone 3GS which crashed after trying to upload the last update. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Did you manage to fix the issue?
    I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
    This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
    I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

    Running iPhoto 9.4.3 under OS 10.8.4 "being updated" message when try to open the Application
    Sounds like iPhoto is trying to update the library or thumbnails. Do the following: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Error message when trying to add a printer  -50?

    I'm using an HP LaserJet 2100M, connected to my iMac G5 with a JetDirect 610 networking card through the ethernet port.
    Usually it works, but now when I've tried to reset the printing preferences (often necessary to get it to work) and go to choose a printer, I get an error message: "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer.....error -50."
    I've tried restarting, and using the disk utility, but it says nothing needs to be repaired. Anybody have any suggestions? Do I have to reinstall, or will any updates help? I'm using 10.4.3
    thanks

    Hello there, sheilahan.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great step-by-step walkthrough for troubleshooting issues with installing iTunes. Make sure you are downloading the install file from Apple directly, as you want to be installing the latest version of the installer, not a dated one. The proper link is provided in Step 3:

    Is anyone else having this problem when trying to log into the app store or hitting the "install button" of the app and trying to log in?  Is there anyway to fix it?? I haven't been able to download any apps on this macbook pro.

    Also, I am able to log into itunes just fine.  It is only when trying to log in the app store that I seem to be unable to proceed any further than typing my password.  All the input information is correct.

  • Unexpected error message when trying to download the printer software

    Hi I have just bought a hp deskjet all in one printer and i am unable to download the software installation for the printer.
    I have tried doing this on my hp chromebook and Iphone 6 but i keep receiving the same message:
    It seems that there was an unexpected error downloading the software for your printer. Please check back later or you can insert the CD and choose the option No thanks, i prefer the base CD installation when the first screen appears.
    The problem is i dont have a CD drive on my chromebook to complete this. Can you advise me what else i can do to complete installation and set up the wifi on my printer?
    Kind Regards
    Caroline

    Hi Caroline,
    For the Chromebook, you will not be able to print via an iOS device, that will require a computer.
    For the iPhone and iPad devices You may print by connecting the printer to the wireless network.
    As there is no standard computer available, there are two options to connect the printer to your wireless router.
    Option one is to use WPS if your router support a such, the steps can be found below:
    Method one: Push button
    Follow these instructions to connect using the Push button method on your printer control panel.
    On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button () for more than three seconds. The Wireless Status light starts blinking.
    Press the WPS button on your router. The printer begins a timer for approximately two minutes while a wireless connection is established.
    Method two: PIN
    Follow these instructions to connect using the PIN method on your printer control panel.
    On the printer's control panel, press the Wireless button () and the Start Copy Black button ( ) at the same time. The Network Configuration page prints.
    Find the WPS PIN printed at the top of the page.
    On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button () for more than three seconds. The Wireless Status light starts blinking.
    Open the configuration utility or software for the wireless router or wireless access point, and then enter the WPS PIN.
     note:For more information about using the configuration utility, see the documentation provided with the router or wireless access point.
    Wait about 2 minutes. If the printer connects successfully, the wireless light stops blinking but remains lit.
    If your router does not support WPS, temporary connect the Chromebook to yoru printer and use the EWS page to connect the printer to your router:
    On the printer's control panel, press and hold the Wireless Direct button () for 3 seconds. The Wireless Direct setup instructions print.
    From your Chromebook connect to the printer, the network name and the password are listed in the printed sheet.
    Open Google Chrome and browse to http://192.168.223.1/
    Open the Network / Wireless tab and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard by selecting your router and providing the password.
    Once you are done reconnet the Chromebook to your router to have internet access again.
    That WILL NOT allow printing from the Chromebook as another computer is required or an ePrint enabled printer, however you should now be able to print from the iPhone or iPad.
