Have new Canon MG 8120...won't scan to iPhoto

Anyone know how to scan photos from a Canon MG 8120 directly to iPhoto?

As a rule, you can't scan directly to iPhoto. You scan to somehwre else, for instance, a folder on the desktop, then import the images to iPhoto.

Canon Pixma 8120 won't print after new hard drive + TC install

I have a great Pixma 8120 which was previously successfully networked wirelessly to an intel imac SL 10.6.8 and
a Macbook Pro running Lion. Our internet connection is Fios via router and the imac had been connected via
ethernet to the Fios router.
Last week, the imac's hard drive needed to be replaced - Apple Geniuses
installed the new hard drive at the apple store and restored all of the data. I bought a new Time Capsule
and backed up the new hard drive as soon as I got it home (yes I got religion).
I now have the TC connected via ethernet
to the router and set up a new network -- connected both the imac and the macbook via airport no problem. Nice
fast internet (safari).
The problem is the Canon printer. I configured the printer to recognize the new network over the TC and was able to
connect it via wi-fi to the access point. When printing however, the printer icon pops up in the dock and looks like its starting
to process the job but then the job disappears fromt the print queue screen. poof. nothing.
I suspect I may have a problem with the TC's security settings not being compatible with the canon - the canon manual does say something about the canon not supporting "enterprise" and I did see that in the TC settings.
I have a huge work project due tomorrow so I decided to forego the wireless thing for now and just hook the printer up
via USB to the imac. I reinstalled the Canon software following the all directions for when to plug in the USB in the process.
It didn't work. Then I went to the Canon support page and downloaded/installed an updated driver. Now I have
a nice new looking printer icon but when I try to print it starts and then gives me a "communication error has occured"
message -- error 306.
Does anyone have advice for me?

Never mind. I realized that I needed to ethernet the imac to the TC.
I just got the Canon to print. Sorry to bother.

Help! Have new Canon MP500 and can't install with 10.4.6

My new printer/scanner is supposed to be compatible with Tiger, but it sure doesn't seem to be. Have visited Canon website, scraped the web, getting nowhere. Does this thing worth with Tiger or not???

My pictures print with furrows, like the printer is hesitating
getting the paper through, on photo paper, but the
pictures are fine on regular paper. Anybody ever
experience anything like that?
Just a guess, but before you print make sure you've selected "photo paper" in the print dialog box.

Canon Pixma MX700 won't scan

Last week my scanner on the Canon Pixma MX700 worked perfectly, easily. Today it won't work at all. I've got the new update for printers and scanners, no go. I've tried deleting printer and MP Navigator and finding software to reinstall from the Canon site. I've even followed instructions on a uTube video that suggests identifying Lion 10.7 as the software I'm using that included deleting and reinstalling the software and scanner/printer drivers. Nothing works.
Anyone got a fix for this. I use my scanner often (both for work and for home).
BTW my OS X is Version 10.9.1 (Mavericks)

rkaufmann87, thanks for the suggesstion. Went throught the process but no luck.
The printer is connected via USB. I have checked the connections (and the cabling to see if there is a break of some kind) but they are all good both ends. The printer works perfectly. The problem is the scanner (thus I thought it was the drivers) MP Navigator looks for the scanner, cannot find it and give the error message says it cannot communicate with the scanner.

New HP Officejet 6600 won't scan to MacBook Air

I bought new HP 6600, downloaded all the drivers set it up and it worked perfectly - for one week. I've now uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. My MacBook Air sees the printer and I watch it scan and see the text on my computer screen, but not saved in folder or in my Finder window?
Thanks to anyone who can help. My first time ever on this site.

Hello @dbvancouver and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing scan issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer - H711a/H711g Drivers.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Canon mp 600 won't scan.

I can not seem to scan in the Leopard OS on my Canon MP 600. I was able to scan in the Virtual xp os I'm using VM fusion. Printer is disconnected and is shutdown.
Fusion is closed, I've rebooted, I can print but can't scan.

Do you have the scanner driver installed? There are separate printer and scanner drivers; visit the canon website and check out the downloads for your printer (if it is not already installed)

New Canon Pixma ip4600 won't show on my Airport Express printer list

Hi,
I've just had to replace my old Pixma ip4000 printer with a new ip4600 printer. The printer has set-up on my iMac and Macbook but it does not show in Airport Utility in the printers section. I've tried unplugging the printer from the USB and unplugging the AE but whichever combination I try it does no good. All ok on the usb direct to the computer.
I've followed many of the support articles to no avail. Can somebody help please? Until the printer shows on the AE I'm unable to print wirelessly.
Regards,
Colin Ashworth

Hi Colin,
As you have said in your post, until you can get the Express to recognise the iP4600 as being connected via USB, you will not be able to add the printer. And note that you cannot use the More Printers > Canon IJ Network facility - this is for Canon's that are connected via Ethernet or wireless to the network.
Are you using the same USB cable to connect the iP4600 to the Express as you are for connecting directly to the Mac's USB? If not, then try another USB cable.
If you are using the same cable, then has the Express got a reset button? I know the Extreme's do and I'm thinking that possibly the Express is still expecting the iP4000 on the USB. If there is no button then you could a factory reset via the Airport utility. You could also check if there are any updates for the Express.

Using CS5: CR2 Files from my new Canon Rebel T4i won't open, but CR2 from Rebel XSi will?

I can't find the correct RAW plug-in for use with Photoshop CS5 on my iMac running OSX 10.8.2. I've downloaded several version but no luck so far.
RAW and CS5 worked perfectly together when images came from my Rebel XSi, but won't open now when they come from my new Rebel T4i??? Chating with Tec Support and searching the database he recommended was fruitless. Any ideas anyone???

New HP Officejet 8600 won't scan??

I just installed my #8600 pro into my wireless network, and the printer is working fine from the computer, but when I attempt to scan to my computer I get a message in the printer window (to scan to computer, make sure the feature is enabled)! When I ran the printer disc, I skipped the fax setup, but don't remember seeing a seperate procedure for setting up the scan feature. Did I miss something on setup?? Can I rerun the software disc??
This question was solved.

How do you clear Error Message 3100? After installing the New inks, On NEW 'Canon MX432' Printer

Have NEW ‘Canon MX432’, (1)-followed the instructions to set language without problem, next step, checked for the Set ink cartridge Message, (2)-and then opened the Paper Output Tray and the Paper Output Cover.
On the second try; (3)-the Head Cover opened automatically, (4)-then lowered the Color Ink Cartridge Lever, (5)-Unpacked the FINE Cartridge and remove the protective tape, (6)-then Inserted the FINE Cartridge straight in until it stopped, (7)-and lifted the Color Ink Cartridge Lever.
Next did the same steps (8) - (9) - (10)- (11)-to the Black Cartridge, next (12)-Closed the Paper Output Cover.
*** Should I have waited and lifted both Levers at the same time? ***
(13)-Waited for printer, (14)-got error Message; ”Printer Error occurred”, then the numbers; “5100”.
Have tried unplugging the printer a few minutes and repeating the steps from the start to no avail.
Next will go buy new Ink and try again or return this Canon MX432 Printer, for a different Model.
Do not want to install new Ink Color and Black Cartridges until I understand the problem solution.
Have used Canon products for over 30 years never had this problem or any problems with their products which could not be resolved by me.
Steps Followed:
*** Do you see a problem with these steps taken? ***
(1)- Set language
Waited for the “Set ink cartridge” Message
(2)- Opened the Paper Output Tray and the Paper Output Cover
(3)-The Head Cover opened automatically
(4)-Lowered the Color Ink Cartridge Lever
(5)-Unpacked the Color FINE Cartridge and remove the protective tape
(6)-Inserted the FINE Cartridge straight in until it stopped
(7)-Lifted the Color Ink Cartridge Lever
(8)-Lowered the Black Ink Cartridge Lever on the left
(9)-Unpacked the Black FINE Cartridge and remove the protective tape
(10)-Inserted the Black FINE Cartridge straight in until it stopped
(11)-Lifted the Color Ink Cartridge Lever
(13)-Closed the Paper Output Cover
*** Should I have waited and lifted both Levers at the same time? ***
(13)-Waited for printer
(14)-Got error Message: ”Printer Error occurred”, then the numbers; “5100”

Hi Anselmo_MSW!
It looks as though you have followed the correct steps and no, you do not need to lift up both levers at the same time.
The error code 5100 indicates that an internal error has occurred which may be resolved by resetting the printer. Please follow these steps for isolating and resetting the printer:
1. Open the printer's front cover, and then open and close the print head lock lever (do not remove the print head).
2. Make sure all ink tanks are seated properly.
3. Make sure all packing materials have been removed.
4. Make sure no paper is jammed in the printer.
5. Disconnect the printer cable from the printer.
6. Close the front cover and turn the printer off.
7. Unplug the printer from the power source, and then plug it back in after five minutes.
8. Power on the printer.
If the error returns, the printer will require service options. I realize you have just purchased this and wanted to let you know that this is not the normal operation of our printers. What I would recommend is contacting a Canon Representative using the following link to learn of your service options. Contact Us.

I have a new Canon MX432 printer the ipad recognizes it but it won't print. Any advice?

Patti-
Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers? See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue. Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

New iMac w/ Lion: MP Navigator software won't scan on my PIXMA MP780

Bought the iMac w/ Lion, and now my MP Navigator 2.0 software won't scan on my PIXMA MP780. Tried installing MP Navigator 3.0, but it gives me the "The scanner driver supported by this software is not installed. Install it and retry". Any help?
I know that there have been similar answers (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15333807#15333807), but I'm curious to know if these answers will work with Lion.
Many thanks!
Dave
P.S. For those of you with similar issues, I did find a workaround; I found I could use the printer driver from within system prefs as a scanner. Here's what you might try to do if you're having the same trouble I am:
Open system preferences
Select "Hardware -> Print and Scan"
Click on the icon for your installed printer on the left side of the screen
After doing so, you might see buttons for Print and Scan above the data that then shows on the right side of that window.
Click on "Scan" and see if this particualr utility works.
It worked for my MP780. Not ideal (I'm used to the MP Navigator software), but it'll do.
Dave

Be sure to do some homework before trying again. There is plenty of advice on the internet, for example:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1161087/install_lion_over_leopard.html
As gumsie says, it is important atleast to backup your own data, photos, music etc on another disk. I would get Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) and make a bootable clone of your existing Snow Leopard. Then copy the new Lion installer to this clone as well. With this, you can keep functional (and ask for help here) while you get the Lion installation working and your apps updated.

New pc running on Windows 8.1 and OfficejetPro L7480 but the printer won't scan.

Have new pc running on Windows 8.1 and OfficejetPro L7480 but the printer won't scan. It will print via usb and I've downloaded the full drivers Full_win_WW_140_408 but won't install. I've also tried to install the original drivers but they were for windows XP. The printer is approx 7 years old but still works (or did!)

Hello RevPhil,
Welcome to the forums!
I noticed your post about your printer not installing properly for you on your Windows 8.1.
I would suggest trying to use the HP Print and Scan Doctor to install the printer.
If that doesn't work, please let me know what exactly happens when you try to install, for example, do you see an error message or code? Does the installation stop?
Have you tried installing both USB and wireless methods?
Hope to hear back from you shorly!
Enjoy your weekend,

After installing Mac OSX Snow Leopart 10.6.3 my HP Photosmart C5500 won't scan to computer. The printer is working. What do I have to do to be able to scan again?

Often, you have to download updated vendor software drivers when you switch operating systems. HP doesn't list a C5500 on their web site, however, here's the link to the OS X 10.6 C5540 software. If you have one of the other C55xx models, look for the updated driver/scan software on their software/driver download section of HP.Com.
