How to get canon 4400f scanner work under os 10.10.1

canon does not offer a driver or s/w for os 10.10.1
is there a 3rd party driver or an older driver that can be made to work?

i have contacted canon - even written their ceo and they will not update the driver.
i bit the bullet and got vue-scan  driver  for the 4400f  for multi year at $79.   i works ok, but the interface is a bit clumsy at the beginning - e.g. multi page pdf process is a bit convoluted.

  • How to get Canon Printer to work wired?

    I have a canon wireless printer. I just got a cable for it as i want to not use wifi to print from my computer.
    How do i get my Canon printer to work with the cable in it.
    computer is a IMAc
    printer canon MP560 colour
    I have cable in it now. How do i get it to work wired to computer? thanks

    System Preferences - Printing & Scanning highlight your printer and right click and choose Reset Printing System. Next turn off the printer, then restart the computer in Safe Mode which will clear some caches. To restart in Safe Mode, simply hold down the Shift Key when you hear the startup tone until a progress bar appears. Then shut down the computer, connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer and start the compute normally, then turn on the printer and your iMac should find it. If your computer does not find the printer follow Apple's instructions for doing so.

  • I recently install Lion OS on my iMac and just found out that my Canon 4400F scanner won't work with Lion, what can I do to get it working again?

    I am having trouble with some of my previously installed software before installing the New Lion OS. I just found this evening that my Canon 4400F Scanner will no longer work with the new OS. I need to know if there is a solution for this short of buying a new scanner? I am also upset that my Microsoft Office Professional will no longer boot as well. Anyone know why this took place?

    If it will not longer work due to Lion, it's most likely becasuse no drivers for Lion have been released.  No way to get aroud it other than going back to Snow Leopard.  MS Office wont work if it is '04 or earlier becasue it is a PPC application.  Mac switched from PPC to Intel in 2006 and created the Rosetta emulator to allow companies to make their software compatable or allow users to buy new software.  After 5 years, Rosetta support was dropped, with the release of Lion.  No way to get this software to work with Lion.

  • How do I get the m3g package working under wtk2.2?

    How do I get the m3g package working under wtk2.2? When I try to build applications which use the package, the toolkit can't find it, although the .jar file is in WTK2.2/lib (jsr184.jar). But none of the scripts in WTK2.2/bin reference the file. I have tried adding classpath references to the jar file in all of the bin sripts, but I still get 'package does not exist' messages when I try to build, e.g., Redikod's M3GMIDlet. i have of course tried putting the jar file in the 'res' directory for the application.

    Routers: Any configurable device that sits between your computer and the internet link you have. This includes Modems that Route as well as "routers"
    Routers seem to fall into two categories
    Those that work straight from the box. See Apple Article HT1787
    NOTE :This Article has not been updated in content since Jan 04 Only being changed to an Article from the Previous Doc listing
    Even then some list that they need tweaks.
    and those that do not.
    This post will deal with what you may need to look at.
    First off make sure your device is acting as a DHCP server. (if you are already on the internet you may not have to bother with this.)
    Check in the Tiger System Preferences > Network Preference Pane, in the "Built in Ethernet" option from the "Show" drop down list.
    In Leopard the Networks are listed on the left with icons. The Airport Option will need you to access the Advance Button for the Next bit.
    Make sure the TCP/IP tab is the 'front' one. You should be able to see Configure IPv4 and it most likely reads Using DCHP. Make a note of your IP address. It will start 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 192.168.xxx.xxx (the 'x' s will stand for any number between 1 and 255). The range 172.16.xxx.xxx is also a possible value at this point. Rarely used, but it is part of the RFC for Address Allocation for Private Internets.
    Your router is most likely to be configurable from your browser. You will need to find the IP address to type into the browser from any Readme or PDF files that came on the install disk or visit the makers website and download a manual.
    The Port Forward.com site lists many devices and clicking on one will take you to a list of Applications. This iChat will open an page that will start by telling you the defaults to access the device
    Opening or Allowing ports. Several Methods not all devices have all of them.
    DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
    This is a less secure setting that basically opens all ports and points the incoming data to your computer. (not helpful if you have more than one computer on your LAN). It can be considered as an extreme form of Port Forwarding
    Port Forwarding (also Virtual Server or Pin Holes)
    These settings are usually found in an Advanced setting.
    You may need to set an incoming IP address (Usually 0.0.0.0 to any outside server), a port that data will arrive on, the Inside computer's IP address (your computer) and the port it will deal with the data on and the protocol it will use.
    See this pic for an example of the description above.
    In this example shows that on some Port AND Protocols need to be listed.
    iChat uses TCP and UDP so some devices will need the ports listed one by one and some settings done twice, once for each protocol. The example above has a "Both" setting
    See Apple Article HT1507 Previously Doc 93208 for more information. This is the Tiger iChat 3 list. The same ports are needed for Leopard except for these changes
    My Note 2:
    On the first link Note 1 under tables in that link would be better if it read:
    " 1. All iChat AV traffic is UDP -
    except for ports 5190 and 5298, which need to be open for both TCP as well;
    and 5220, 5222, which need to be open for TCP only. "
    Note 2
    GoggleTalk needs port 5223 on TCP. Also note the Server name for iChat 3 set ups
    UPnP Universal Plug n Play.
    This is a simple Plug and Play type of setting. iChat can find it's own way through a router if the device has this capability.
    By Not doing Port Forwarding, Triggering or DMZ and enabling UPnP the application is allowed to control the modem and the ports that are open.
    They close after the application has finished with them on a timed basis.
    On some devices the number of "hops" (how far away the UPnP can be "seen") can be reduced from a default of 4)
    Trigger Ports
    Some devices offer a security measure that works by a first or trigger port receiving a data packet and then opening further ports when accepted.
    The first port for incoming Video or Audio invites is port 5678.
    Pre iChat 4
    When you click on the invite window the process moves in to port 5060 (so these will need to be opened by the trigger port) for negotiating the final group of ports from the group of 20 (16384-16403 These will need to open when the trigger says so as well). Therefore port 5678 triggers ports 5678, 5060, 16384-16403. All on UDP. Port 5190 neeeds to trigger port 5190 for both TCP and UDP.
    See this variation where only the ports listed above are completed.
    The other single ports need to be set one by one in addition. (5220,5222, 5223 5297, 5298, 5353)Replace
    iChat 4
    The port used in IChat 4 is port 16402 instead of port 5060. The group of 20 ports is reduced to 10 (16393-16402). This is because all the In and Out Audio and Video data is on one port. Other that than the settings are the same.
    At this time there is no Info on the ports the Screen Sharing in iChat 4 uses.
    Wireless
    Here you will have to read around but this Apple Article TA25949 Previously Doc 58514 might be a good starting place.
    Essentially whether you are wireless or Ethernet to your routing device makes very little difference to the way you do things.
    Your computer will get two IPs from a DHCP server if you are connected by both methods. (iChat does not like this)
    Multiple devices
    Make sure only one is acting as a DHCP server. Make sure wireless devices are bridged properly.

  • How to get the webcam to work?

    Hi,
    As I don't have an instruction book for this computer, can anyone tell me how to get the webcam to work please?
    There is supposed to be something that pops up from the side of the screen, but I've left the mouse sit there for ages on all sides and nothing. Please assist me.
    Kit_e

    I refer you back to my original question.
    There used to be a bar at the side that popped up when you left the mouse sit there for a bit. It no longer pops up ... ie: it's disappeared and will not return ... this is what "started" the webcam for use as a webcam.
    I have no idea on how to use the webcam from any other place. There is no icon. There is no mention of it in the programs list. There is nothing. There is a webcam sitting there in the laptops lid, but I can't find where to "access it". Like I said there is no icon, nothing in the programs list.
    I want to be able to use it. You know, like you use a webcam. On the web, as a camera. No particular website or software that I have in mind.
    Thanks.

  • Has anyone managed to make the Canon 8000F Scanner work on this system?

    has anyone managed to make the Canon 8000F Scanner work on this OX system?

    Part of the problem is that this is probably not a "logical" error.  The common cause of this issue is still image files where the pixel size is too large. This suggests that Encore's (and other Adobe apps) ability to handle image size is exceeded without a better error message. The link, which I'm going to post until I find a "new" location (if one exists) is now a bad link:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/encore/kb/error-software-used-decode-media.html
    And in this example where it was not an image issue, the user fixed the problem by re-encoding the problem file.

  • Hi.  I have Snap To Grid and By Kind enabled in Lion but it's not working.  When I trash an icon, instead of snapping the remaining icons to the By Kind grid, a space is left where the trashed icon was.  Any suggestions on how to get Snap To Grid working?

    Where are you talking about the Desktop?
    I don't see where it is possible to set both Snap to Grid and By Kind they seem to be mutually exclusive.
    And then
    If I have Snap to grid set I get the behavior you describe. If I have By Kind set the icons stay together and close up the space from the deleted icon.

    what steps did i miss? Can someone please advise? Thanks
    ps : i'm coding in VB

    Hi,
    i think you have to change the license file attributing the number of licensing for your addon, then download it from https://websmp202.sap-ag.de/smb and then install it on SAP License manager, then I think you should give the license for your addon for individual users (example manager)
    I hope it helps.

  • How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at "Medium" level, not "Low?"

    How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at “Medium” level? Xbox 360 Live, FTP, and the Windows sntp Time checker native to Windows XP WON’T WORK unless the Verizon firewall is first reset down to “Low.” Then all works well, but I then risk low firewall protection. Setup: · Westell 6100 DSL modem (Software Version: VER:4.04.03.00 Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0 Model Name: C90-610015-06), · D-Link DIR-655 wireless router (Hardware Version: A3, Firmware Version: 1.21), For Xbox 360 Live the “canned” port forwarding rule for provided in Verizon’s drop-down list for the Westell 6100 modem forwards ports 88 and 3074 for both TCP and UDP. This does not meet Microsoft’s forwarding recommendations for Xbox 360 Live stated at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874. Instead, for the Verizon modem (Westell) I made a new port forwarding rule to comply with those Microsoft instructions. It forwards ports 53, 80 and 3074 for TCP and ports 53, 88 and 3074 for UDP. These same ports are also forwarded in the D-Link router configuration. For FTP, port 21 is also forwarded for TCP and UDP in both modem and router. But they don’t work until I first cripple the Verizon firewall down to “Low.” How to get them to work with the Verizon firewall up to Medium?

    While I do not know the answer to your question, BUT since you have this modem and another router - you could just follow.

  • Can't get Canon Lide Scanner to work in PSE 10

    I just belatedly upgraded to Snow Leopard... and got my PSE 6 to run without freezing by using a suggestion posted by Barbara B. ("Photoshop Elements for Snow Leopard") - deleting the Adobe Twain Driver.  My Canon Lide 80 scanner always worked smoothly in PSE 6 in Snow Leopard, but PSE 6 was crashing prior to removing the Adobe Twain plug-in.  Since I had not upgraded PSE in a while, I decided to download the trial of PSE 10 and put it through its paces before I purchased. 
    The first thing that I did was move the driver, ScanGear CS 7.2X into the import module as I had done in previous versions of PSE.  The next thing that I did was make sure that Rosetta was loaded onto my operating system.  I believe that with this new system Rosetta is automatically employed without having to put a check in the box as was with the case in Leopard, because there is no box to check, and the Apple care tech told me that it would run as needed.  When I boot up PSE 10, I receive the message, "One or more plug-ins is currently not available on your system...", the system info states that it failed to load and the ScanGear CS 7.2X plug-in does not show up as a choice for inporting. 
    This is a great scanner, so I am unwilling to dump it, PSE 6 works if worse comes to worse, but I would like to upgrade to PSE 10.  I am currently running on OS X 10.6.8.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Barbara B. wrote:
    You must go into Applications>PSE  10>optional plug-ins>ImportModules, and move the TWAIN plugin into Plug-ins>Import Modules before you can scan with any scanner. However, if you must have rosetta to scan, you will not be able to scan into PSE 8,9, or 10, no matter whether Rosetta is installed on your mac or not. There is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8 came out. In that case, you can either use Scan Gear or get a newer scanner, if there's no intel-native plugin on canon's download page for your model.
    Thank you for answering me so quickly, Barbara B.
    It is interesting to note that there is no longer any support for Rosetta in PSE since PSE 8.  That really explains the problem.  The optics of my scanner are really good and the scanner really does work well in the "right' software.  
    I did as you instructed: moved the TWAIN plugin from Optional plug-in>ImportModules to Plug-ins>ImportModules, and restarted the computer.  Then I rebooted PSE 10.  The TWAIN import did not load... does not even show up in as there but unloaded. 
    Any ideas?  Could this be because I am using a trial version?

  • Can't get Canon MX330 to work with Snow Leopard

    Running 10.6.2 on a MacBook.
    Downloaded the "Snow Leopard" driver from Apple's support site and installed it three times. Amazingly or bizarrely, it was not installed in Applications. A search through the Finder and Spotlight both failed to find the installed Canon applications, the Solution Menu and MP Navigator.
    Instead, when I open the old application that I'm either reinstalling or updating*, I get the following message, that I have the correct model, to wit, a Canon MX330 series (I do), that the driver's installed (should be), that it's connected to the Mac and power is on (it is both), and that I "[r]econnect the USB cable when connected with USB". No idea exactly what that means but the USB cable is connected at both ends (does that matter?). (*I hedge on that because when the G5 "died" last fall, I had to reinstall the Canon apps on the laptop which is the computer in question. Note that the problem I indicated above started after upgrading to 10.6, hence the download of the Snow Leopard drivers from Apple.)

    In one of those mysteries.... Problem essentially solved.
    In the old days, with my now-fried G5 (running 10.5.x), I was able to scan and open the necessary Canon application just by putting whatever into the scanner and hitting various buttons on the scanner. That never worked with the MacBook (also 10.5.x). With the MB, had to work through a Canon application, Solution Menu. That is what did not work under 10.6.x.
    Following, indirectly, the instructions for resetting the printers in System Prefs, I found a tab for Scan and using that, all is at least as good as working through the Canon applications. On one hand, there's a slight counter-intuitiveness -- essentially I'll be scanning through System Prefs instead of a dedicated application and of course the interface is a lot different (and elegant in its way of course) but it hasn't proven to be buggy, flaky and occasionally unstable as was Canon's application.
    So: Wish it was as easy as it was with the G5, but it's better than it was.
    Thanks!
