Help printing to a Cannon MP990 printer?

The "add printer" function indicates the address is valid and complete.ut I can't print or get the supply level status.
I have tried with the printer set for wired LAN connection and wireless LAN connection, different addresses in each case of course.
I have tried both MAC Address and IP Address.
I have download, installed and selected the MP990 drivers for MAC from Cannon website.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Albert

Have you repaired permissions and restarted your computer? Have you contacted Canon tech support or read its user manual?

My printer (Cannon MP990) is not scanning in my new Imac 10.8.3

Prints OK but won't scan?
What have you tried and how is it connected - cable or wifi? Have you checked for any driver updates for the printer? Have you tried Image Capture in the Applications folder?

Need helping printing to networked printers.

I need help setting up network printers that have a code on them for each individual. There is no place to put a code so the printer will know who is printing what. I have installed 3 printers and they will not print, they just go to a paused mode and when you hit resume in reverts back to pause because it is looking for a code. I have tried it another way but it asks for a user name and password and all we have are codes. The workplace is using a windows based server and the copiers are listed as followed.

I need help to be able to print from my mac. I also have parallels running with xp installed and all the printers are installed on that side and printing fine. Hopefully someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In order to provide the user with the ability to input a user code, the respective printer driver would have to provide the facility. If this feature did exist on a previous version of OS X, then you may have to check the vendors web site to see if there is a driver for 10.6.
If you are not sure if the function was supported previously, then go through all the user menus for the driver. The function may be present but located in an unusual location. Or it could require an additional file (aka plugin) that could be missing from the driver installation or not compatible with 10.6.
The other thing to note is that if you have the Mac's printing via a Windows queue, you will have to provide user credentials for SMB print queues. This is typically a Windows user account - not the Mac's account details. If you don't want to create accounts for the Mac users on the Windows server, then you can use LPD rather than SMB to connect to the Windows queues. This does require UNIX Printing Services to be enabled on the server.

HELP- Printing Problem with Photoshop CS4

Hello Everyone,
I just bought the PHOTOSHOP CS4, and I am having problem when it prints. The image is not clear, it has dots (pixels). This computer where I installed this program is brand new. I have previously worked with Photoshop CS2 and never had an issue but was force to buy this new one because the computer that I bought has Windows Vista and CS2 is not compatible. I thought maybe the problem was my printer but is not I have a Brother HL-5140 (black and white). I have connected my old computer with the printer and the images print perfectly fine. I have printed photos and it prints clear. But this only happens with Photoshop CS4. It prints dots, can someone please help me. Is driving me crazy.

Really I'd be willing to bet it's your driver under Vista.
I have the same problem using Vista and a older HP LaserJet, under XP and CS2 it prints well. Under Vista it's a bunch of dithered pixelated dots.
They want you to buy a newer printer.

Hello Highcountryhike,
Thank you for posting your request. You should have no issues updating to 10.10 Yosemite. Below are a couple links that should help.
If you run the Software Updates from the Apple Menu, to check for updates. Some have had issues not seeing updates, so simply click on "Store" from the top menu, and then click on Reload Page". Select to install HP Updates to ensure you have the latest drivers.
In some instances, the printer can be updated in the printer queue to resolve other issues, so check to make sure that the printer is listed with the HP Printer Series driver and not just AirPrint. System Prefernces/Printers & Scanners/ select your printer on the left and check on the right side under "Location:" that Kind: is the printer series. You can also click the "-" symbol to remove and then re-add the printer queue again, choosing the HP Printer series name to install the drivers.

Help printing raw profiling target!!

I know this has been beaten around, but I am looking for help, and the latest information on printing a raw target for printer profiling. I'm having troubles getting a decent target to profile.
First PSCS4, OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), Mac Pro Tower, Epson 1400 inkjet printer with Epson Claria inks. Driver is the Epson SP 1400 Series driver. Nozzle check and print head alignment are fine.
I printed out an untagged RGB test strip file four times on the same sheet of glossy paper. This file has 21 steps of gray, four each of red, green and blue, and three each of cyan, magenta and yellow. I use this file to help me pick the best driver settings when creating RGB printer profiles.In each case, the Epson driver used the exact same settings, with Color Management set to No Color Adjustment. Here are the PS dialog settings I used in each test print:
1. Untagged file, No Color Management in print dialog box
2. Untagged file, Printer Manages Color, RelCol, no BPC (according to Eric Chan, rendering intent is ignored in this mode)
3. File tagged with ARGB, Photoshop Manages Colors, profile set to ARGB destination profile, RelCol, BPC turned off.
4. File tagged with sRGB, Photoshop Manages Colors, profile set to sRGB destination profile, RelCol, BPC turned off.
I've been wary of Photoshop's "No Color Management" for awhile in Snow Leopard due to reported OS override, etc, but I wanted to compare the above four methods. Items 3 & 4 above were reported as workarounds on the Luminous Landscape site.
I found that methods 1 and 2 (NCM and Printer Manages) were very close to each other, within spectro error and usually less than 0.5 Delta E. Item 3 (ARGB to ARGB) should be identical, since it is a null conversion, but it is very different from 1 and 2. Item 4 (sRGB to sRGB) was different from the ARGB to ARGB conversion and also different from 1 & 2 by the widest margin. Holy smokes, folks! So, at least with the PSCS4, OSX 10.6.8 and the Epson 1400, the Luminous Landscape workaround does NOT work. While 1 and 2 seem to be a pretty good match, I have no idea whether they are both accurate RAW output, or whether they are both the same and both similarly flawed.
I just want to build a damn profile. I've been studying and using color management for 15 years, so I am not exactly new to this stuff.
HELP!!!
Thanks,
Lou Dina

Thanks, Dave.
That worked. I just created a glossy profile and got a great print from my new profile.
Best, Lou

Need help - Print Menue in Acrobat Pro and Standard

Hello,
at first, i have to apologize for my bad englisch because I'm german.
I downloaded a Trial of Acrobat pro and there I hava an extended Print menue where I can choose individual Color Profiles.
There is an image attached.
But I don't really need the Acobat pro Features, because I need Acrobat only for Color Printing on my Printer. And it ist expensive.
So my Question to you is: Is this extended Print menue also in Acobat 9 Standard?
There is no Trial, so that I hope, that someone can help me.
Can I also set this settings in Acrobat 9 Standard?
Thank you very much for helping me with my buying decision.
Greetings from Munich
Sebastian

The Advanced Print menu in 9 Standard does not have all of the options that are in your screen shot.
Checked with a coworker who has 9 Standard, and the options are much more limited. (I have 8 Pro).
Bad news is you would need 9 Pro.
Saw this the other day; sorry for the slow answer, good luck.

Need help printing in Classic to HP 1510

I'm helping a person with an early 2001 iMac (500 MHz, 384 MB RAM) who's running 10.2.8 and 9.2.2. She got an HP 1510 all-in-one printer/scanner, and I'm trying to get it set up. I installed the printer software for OS X and for 9.2.2 (while running under 9.2.2) I can print from a 9.2.2 application (like Word for Office 2001) while running under 9.2.2, and I can print from an OS X application, but I can't print from a Classic application under OS X!
When she tries to print from Office 2001 under Classic, the HP 1510 printer is found under "Page Setup" and "Print" in the Office 2001 application, the print job spools, but the Print Manager under Classic claims no printer is installed, and the Chooser under Classic can't find a USB-based printer under "HP Inkjet v6.6.1". This is where I found the USB-based printer when she was running 9.2.2. She has tried running the Desktop Printer Setup utility under Classic, but it doesn't see the USB-based HP 1510.
What do I need to do to enable printing under Classic?

gave up.

HELP - Print to Video

I so frustrated. I'm trying to print to Video to Archive my old footage. Final Cut reconizes my camera that I'm Printing to but when I go to print all I get is blue screen. I Printed to Video before and it worked fine. I'm connecting with Firewire. It's on the VCR setting. Am I missing something.
Please help
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

As I recall, Canon's need some funny business with record-pause in VCR mode. I used to have to do this sequence with my GL2 and I think that while the XL2 is a far better instrument, the software for this is probably related. I always had to use the remote to make it work easily with the GL2. Search your manual for instructions around this record pause thing and I think you may find the solution.

PDF help. printing PDFs make acrobat or reader go not responding.

Whenever i try to print or go to print setup in either Acrobat or Reader it cause the program to not respond and i will have to exit the program and it will not print. But if i right-click a .pdf file (like saved on my desktop) and click print it will print just fine.... I am using Acrobat 8.2.6....i think. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

As Michael said, it is probably a conflict between the two. You may be able to uninstall Reader (assume you have Reader 9) and repair Acrobat. Uninstalling one will usually break the other and the repair should fix it.

HELP - Print PDF to iPhoto Workflow Failure

Hi folks - I am trying to export to iPhoto from Pages by following these steps...
File > Print > PDF > Save PDF to iPhoto
iPhoto then launches and I'm asked to select an album. No matter what option I select at this point, once I hit "Continue" I receive a "Workflow Failed" error in the upper right of my screen.
Anyone have a fix or work-around for getting Pages documents into iPhoto?
Thanks!
Tom

Hello Tom,
welcome to the Pages Discussions. I can't help you to solve your problem, but for other members, it would be helpful, when you post a few details about your software versions (Pages, iPhoto, Mac OS X) and about your hardware. As more infos you post as quicker the answers can arrive without reposts of questions.
