Experience with Canon MP600R printer

I bought a Canon MP600R multipurpose printer from Apple Store UK and installed the drivers on my iMac (connected through ethernet cable via a SpeedTouch router/modem) and PowerBook (connected wirelessly). All seemed ok but I used disk utility and found screenfuls of permission corrections and, more importantly, disk verify revealed errors that I had to correct using an external drive. This was on both machines. Apart from that, I am very impressed with the MP600R.
Anyone else had this problem?
Geoff.

Paul,
Thanks for your reply. In running DU verify disk reported an error on exit (I can't remember the point it failed but it was almost complete according to the progress bar). As I said, DU couldn't repair it itself so I used a separate start-up disk. I check my disks probably once a week on average with DU and very occasionally see volume header errors etc but because this happened on both iMac and PB I can't believe that it wasn't the installation of the Canon software. I wasn't having trouble with the Macs - it was just something I stumbled on in my routine DU tidying.
Permissions repair was just screenfuls of printer-related stuff.
I've sent a note to Canon but no response yet. Generally I'm a fan of Canon and have had no trouble in the past so this was a bit surprising.
Did you install MP600R software? I'm never sure that it's necessary as Macs tend to have a lot of drivers pre-installed. However, mine didn't seem to have the Canon IJ network kit so I used the CD provided.
Cheers,
Geoff.

Can't get my iphone4 AirPrint to work with Canon mx712 printer

Can't get my iphone4 AirPrint to work with canon mx712 printer
I've reviewed all network, printer, phone settings

airprint basic http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356 see if that printer is compatible.

If it is not compatible then you will need to look at the appstore to find something compatible to be able to print.

Please can anyone help. I am trying to reconect wirelessly my Macbook pro laptop to a canon mp600r printer ?

HI.Can anyone help please. I'm trying to wirelessly reconect my Mac book pro laptop to my canon mp600r wireless printer. I had it working once but after having secured my linksys router ( set a password ) it no longer conects wirelessly but it works with a cable.

You need to run through the wireless network connection wizard on the printer. Try looking under Menu or Setup choices on the printer's LCD. It should be no different than what you did initially with it, except this time when you pick your WIFI network from the available list, it'll ask you for a password, at which point you type in what you set it up when you secured your network. Once you've done that, your laptop will see it again... you shouldn't have to reload any drivers or add it back on, it'll just see it again since it's just the network connection that's broken.
BTW, I hope you chose to secure your WIFI network with WPA2/AES encryption. If not, you might as well take the time now and just reconfigure it again to secure it with that and then fix your printer connection. It's the most secure.

Photoshop Elements 9 Printer Driver Problems with Canon MP600 printer

I'm having problems using my Canon MP600 printer with Photoshop Elements 9 with regard to the paper allocation. The MP600 has 2 paper trays and for some reason when using Elements it prefers you to use the top loading (auto sheet feeder) method all the time. For space reasons I need to use the bottom cassette. When you initially go into the settings for the printer within elements you can choose the cassette and paper type etc no problem and make a print. When you go back in to do another print it changes the setting back to auto sheet feeder so you have to change it back again which is winding me up! I have got the latest drivers for the printer and they are set up to how I would like the printer to work but Elements changes some of those settings for some reason. Does anyone know a way of fixing this please ?? When I'm not in Photoshop if I go to print something from the web it performs perfectly so I can only assume its Elements thats changing the settings.
Also when I print small thumbnail sized pictures on an A4 sheet of paper to test what the photo colour will look like when I go back into the print menu it puts the thumnail picture back in the center of the sheet of A4 rather than leaving it where it was, so then you have to put in the top and sideways measurements again to carry on ! The last version of Photoshop I had never did that. Does anyone know had to solve that problem ?? Any thoughts on the above problems would be gratefully recieved !

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

I can't connect OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 version with Canon LBP2900 Printer, Please help how to connect...

Hi.... Apple Support Communities...
I used Apple MacBook Air 2014 (13 inch) series with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 version...
And I have a printer of Canon LBP2900...
My problem is that, I can't connect my Canon LBP2900 printer with my new OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 version.
My previous OS X Mavericks is working well with my Canon LBP2900 printer...
But when I upgrade it to OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 version, my printer is not working...
Anybody please help me how can i connect OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 version with my Canon LBP2900 printer....
Thanking you.... Your suggestion in this regards is highly appriciate...

Your first step would be to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6). To do that, you would need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD. Following that you could determine how much further you could upgrade.

MP Navigator 3.0 scanner isn't working with Canon mp510 printer

Hello,
I'm using a Canon mp510 printer/scanner, using the MP Navigator software 3.0 and whenever I click on the scanner, the program shuts down completely. I have already tried to uninstall, reinstall, search for updates (and 3.0 is the latest one I have found), etc...and nothing is fixing the problem. I just recently updated to Snow Leopard and only started having the problems at that time. I know the problem is not the printer, as the computer recognizes it when I used Image Capture, but I would prefer to stick to MP Navigator and am frustrated nothing is working. Any help or suggestions?!?!

Canon Australia has [MP Navigator v3.04|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900172801.html]. If you don't already have this version (assuming your 3.0 could be 3.04) then install this latest one.
To use MP Navigator you also need to have the [Canon MP510 Scanner Driver v12.13.12|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900218401.html]
Note that Image Capture uses a different scanner driver that is included with Snow Leopard.

Printing problems with Canon MP600R (and zathura)

Hi, I've been trying to get my printer working properly. I've installed cups according to the wiki article, and adding the printer worked as expected. This is where I'm at: When printing from zathura, the resulting page is really low resolution. When printing to cups-pdf from zathura, the resulting PDF is of very low resolution. However, when using
lp -d Virtual_PDF_Printer test.pdf
the resulting PDF is just fine. When printing with
lp -d Canon_MP600R test.pdf
the page is much better in resolution, but still not ideal. Also, it seems that the font comes out too bold?!
However, the cups test page I've printed looks fine to me.
Not sure if this is related, but sometimes the printer does not react to a print job, and /var/log/cups/error_log contains lines like this:
Got USB transaction timeout during write.
Thanks in advance

Any experience with Canon MF7470?

Related to my previous question, does anyone have any experience to share with this printer/copier:
Canon MF7470
Thank you.

The problem is that HDV, like DV is coming to the end of its life-span.
The overwhelming number of cameras sold are to the point and shoot photographers who are not usually interested in any form of editing.
As such, 95% of all new cameras are DVD, Hard Disk or Flash Memory. In another couple of years there will be no consumer DV/HDV cameras produced.
It is unlikely that the HV40 will ever be reviewed as there is no future in it. Furthermore, when the HV30 was introduced, it was a laughing stock amongst reviewers as it was the same as the HV20 apart from the colour scheme and an enlarged zoom lever. Reviewers don't want to spend time testing yet another virtually identical model.
If you want the web it will be fine, but many people who wanted to produce hi-def DVDs discovered that it was a complex and very expensive process and generally not worth the effort.
With regard to adverse comments from users, I would suggest that many people do not read the manuals, they often do not treat cameras properly and some downright misuse them, so I would view criticisms with a large amount of scepticism.
It wouldn't be the first time that I had heard people complaining of cameras not working properly after they have been lying around on a sandy beach and liberally splashed with sea water! (They don't usually mention the sand and the briny).

Help with Canon iR2016 printer please...

I use the Canon iR2016 monochrome laser printer in my office, as I need the large A3 format for sheet music purposes.
Alas for Mountain Lion, the Canon website says
There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver. Refer to our FAQ section for connectivity issues.
First of all, I can't even find their FAQ section...
Secondly, Canon being always behind when it comes to Mac OS support at least for office machines, what if I upgraded to Mountain Lion only to find that the iR2016 isn't supported? i.e., should I or shouldn't I take that chance at this point?
Many thanks in advance for any and all pointers.

While it is true that Canon does take some time to release official driver for the new OS, the reality with ML is that the current 10.7 drivers do install and function on 10.8.
For the iR2016, here is a link to the UFR2 v2.41 driver from Canon Australia.
Also, with the iR2016 supporting the PCL printer language, you could use the Generic PCL Laser driver included with ML. Although I am not sure about this Generic driver supporting A3 printing, so I would have to confirm this.

Pages for iPad (2) does not link with bluetooth with Canon airprint printer

I am using apple Pages appi on iPad2. I cannot get iPad to find Canon PIXMA airprint capable printer to print documents. Any suggestions? Thanks

According to the keyboards user guide, the keyboard is discoverable when the indicator light is flashing. Are you trying to pair the two while both are discoverable?
Try resetting the iPad before trying to pair with the BT keyboard. Press and hold simultaneously the Home and Power buttons for 10+ seconds, ignoring the power off slider, until the Apple logo appears.
Dah•veed
I did all of that but not sure that any of it did as much as simply turning off the computer to make sure that the keyboard was not being used by it. I now find that I could have turned off the bluetooth on the computer or made the keyboard 'unselected' by bluetooth to allow the keyboard to be free to be selected and paired by the iPad.
Thanks for you help on this.

How to print from ipad2 to pc with canon mx340 printer? Please anyone?!

I use my ipad2 for everything! But i cant print from it! We have a pc with a canon mx340 which does allow airprint. I have bought and downloaded print n share, the canon app, and printopia, but i cant get the ipad 2 to find our wireless printer. As a mom, i want to print out coupobs from sites, but i cant from the ipad 2. Any help would be very appreciated!! Thank you!!

Hi. Below is a link to the list of airprint supported printers. Unfortunately, the mx340 is not on it. The pad will not find the printer unless itis airprint enabled.
Print and share and printopia will let you print through a pc or mac that is only the same net work and connected to the printer.
I am not sure why they would have told you that the mx is a supported airprint device, if it is not on the list. (current as of an hour ago). If it is new, take it back.
If it is airpritnt compatible, go to the control panel on the printer, and see if there is a way to update the firmware. Many of the hp airprint printers need this step before they will work.

Problems with Canon MF4450 printer...

I have a Canon MF4450. I have all the updated drivers from Apple and from Canon, but when I seek to 'add' it on as a printer, there is no entry for it - it is not recognized by the machine. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks for trying the new cable. At least now it can be ruled out as a cause. This result would then suggest the printer at fault but with it working on Windows then it would also rule it out.
So like you I don't know why the MF is not appearing in System Information. For your reference I have taken a screen grab of my System Information view showing the MF4580 connected to the USB High-Speed Bus.
Was 10.8 a new installation on this Mac or was it an upgrade from 10.7/10.6?
Do you know anyone with a Mac? It would be interesting to check what happens with that Mac. You would not need to install the driver. Just connect it via USB and then open System Information.

Problem with canon mx870 printer in Word insists on using inkjet Hagaki media type

My MX870 insists on using inkjet Hagaki media type in Word and printing with standard quality, no matter how many times I change it back to plain paper and fast quality. I have tried everyhting I can think of short uninstalling and reinstalling the printer software. I have chnaged documents, closed and reopened word, change printer setting in Control Panel (Windows 7), powering off and restarting the printer, restarting my laptop, etc.
Even more annoying is that in Word my cursor now is a constantly blinking hourglass which has slowed down Word's speed.

Canon MP980 Printer Settings - Photo Rag Paper

Not sure that this is an Aperture problem as such but, using Aperture 2.1.4, I am having difficulty with Canon MP980 printer settings to print on Canon 'Photo Rag' paper. Printer driver gives me a code 88 error re margins.
Has anyone any ideas?

In case anyone sees this, the problem seems to have been solved - but I have no idea how this happened. Suddenly Quality and Media, Colour options, etc became available, but no idea what I did to produce this. As a PC user of 20 years experience, I thought this only happened with Microsoft, clearly I was wrong.
