HT4356 app for canon mx870 wireless printer to convert to air printer

Is there an app to enable a Canon MX870 Wireless Printer to be used as an Airprinter for IPad2

Val85-
I suggest you look for a Canon App at the iTunes App store. It will have limitations, but should get you printing.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share or PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option. These include their own mail, browser, photo and text programs. In other words, they do not provide true AirPrint capability.
Depending on your situation, a better option may be to run a program on your computer that will share its printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs such as Printopia and FingerPrint can do that, and are reported to work well. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

How do I connect my HP 7 1800 (Mesquite) Tablet to my Canon MP495 wireless printer?

I have a new HP 7 1800 tablet and want to print to my Canon MP495 wireless printer. I already have other
PC's and laptops using the wireless printing, but don't know how to get my Tablet set up for the wireless printing.
Should I direct connect from my printer to the tablet to make the initial set up? Or, is there an app I'm not finding on the Canon site for this purpose? I'd appreciate any help.

Hi JAC63!
Welcome to the Canon Forums! If your tablet is an Android device, you should be able to find the app by going to http://bit.ly/CanonMobileApps
That's where we keep all of our mobile apps. Depending on your needs and printer model will determine the app you'll download! If you have other questions, just let us know!

Canon MX340 wireless printer no longer connecting over wireless and coming up with "a communications error has occured"

I have a Canon MX340 wireless printer and have only recently started having trouble printing over the wireless connection. No settings have changed on my MacBook Pro, the printer, the router or the wifi connection and it is strange how it has just stopped working. I have tried things like restarting the laptop and removing the printer from the laptop and re-adding it. It sometimes seems to work for maybe one print but then it goes back to saying "a communications error has occured", when I try to print again.
Any help would be great. Thanks

I had the same MX340 problem. My printer was working fine over WiFi connection to my Airport Extreme for years and then suddenly, about a month ago, it stopped printing after the first print job. I can print once and then I have to power-cycle the printer to get it to print another time and then I have to repeat the power-cycle.
The printer seems to be "forgotten" by the network or lose its connection after the first print job.
On my MacBookPro 10.6.8 I get the error code 300...yadayadayad... On my iMac 10.5.8 it just says :communications error".
HERE IS THE FIX - I got it off this link - http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=24681
You have to connect to the MX340 using the printer cable that came with the printer (or any USB printer cable) and set up a hardwired USB printer queue. Then print a couple of print jobs - I use TextEdit and type in "1234". Then try the same thing but select your WiFi print queue - I just type another line on the same sheet of paper with TextEdit.
The WiFi connection should work again. I did this a few more times and then disconnected the USB cable and now it continues to work without the USB print queue being used. I can also print to the WiFi queue with my iMac.
If you still have problems I suggest you set up the printer again on the WiFi router using the "print cable connection" method. Here's a link to a webpage someone kindly provided instructions for the process:

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. Help?

Since purchasing my Mac Pro with retina display, I can no longer change the preferences on MP Navigator for Canon MX870. I can change them on my old Mac Pro with Lion, but not the new one. I can scan but I can't save it to a folder on my hard drive. I can only let it default to a back up date folder. Tried all sorts of things to change the preferences and folders, nothing worked. Ideas?

To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

Canon MX870 will print wirelessly but will not scan and can't launch EX navigator

My laptop recently crapped out on me the hard drive failed. It's an old Macbook pro vintage with 4gig memory and running OS X maverics. After I got a new hard drive put in and restored my computer using a time machine backup I noticed the Tech had gone ahead and installed a newer operating system 10.9.2 and now I cannot get my Canon pixma MX870's software to work. After going to the Canon site and downloading newer drivers and wrangling with it for three hours I finally was able to get it to print wirelessly somehow, don't ask me how. But it will print wireless however it still will not scan even if I use image capture it sees no printer available and the ex navigator software keeps showing an error message it cannot launch! How bogus! Macs have always just worked period. No problem but now even when I go back to my old install disc for the Canon pixma MX870 it says that the software is not supported by this operating system .....REALLY... this printer is only about three years old! I'm shocked that apple could actually go ahead and make new versions of maverics that don't support printer software from two years ago..... REALLY you're kidding right! Whats next you won't support software from two months ago! I guess we have to just buy a new printer every month.
This machine is starting to remind me of a Windows laptop what a nightmare. Jobs must be rolling in his grave. This is just utterly pathetic. This is the beginning of the end for Apple. I've always been impressed with how easy it is to use apple stuff but this is the second time I've updated my operating system only to find I have to go through **** just to get the freakin' printer to work. Come on guys somebody show me an easy fix here and if any body says it's the printer companies responsibility to update their drivers and software I think I'm going to puke. I have already downloaded the newest Canon software for the MX870 and it can't launch I was able to get the printer to print but can't get the scanner to work and the solutions menu is now useless.

Well you are right Steve my complaint is with Canon for not making it easier to install their necessary updates if you upgrade your OS system but it seems that when Apple is constantly making new upgrades available they might want to add in the heads up "OH by the way, if you install this new OS it's likely your printer won't work any more if it's more than three years old." along side the constant "Updates are available for your computer" they should really have it read "Updates are available for your computer, proceed at your own risk" No I'm sorry the whole system is geared towards making people get so frustrated that they eventually give up and buy a new printer. I'm not sure what 5 hours of my time is worth but I am sure that if were getting paid by the hour it would be enough to buy a new Canon comparable to the MX870. So by the way if other people are having this same problem, which of course thousands of them are, the solution is first download the newer driver, then download the new wireless setup assistant and then figure out how to use it (good luck with that), it took me about two hours just to find the access points on the printer and to be honest I just got lucky eventually. Then you must download the newer "Scan Gear" software if you want to scan. But it seems that the new "Scan Gear" software got my whole solutions menu to start working again so there you go, you can be a white night for somebody else who is having this same problem. I must admit that after wrangling for hours I continued to go back to the forums and eventually found a link to the canon software update page provide by some very nice girl who was very helpful for some other guy and the link took me to the same page I had been to several times already but I then downloaded the "Scan Gear" software and was up and running again. So thank you to that nice girl and in the spirit of her helpfulness I offer this to the thousands of other poor bastards that cannot get their MX870 to scan

Go there and download the "Scan Gear" software that is for OS 10.9

HT4356 Can I use a wireless printer that is not AirPrint, but is WiFi capable?

I'm trying to enable my iPhone 4 to a wireless enabled printer but, the printer isn't on the AirPrint list for Canon (PIXMA-MP495).
My laptop is connected to the printer wirelessly.
So I guess my question is; Can I enable the printer wirelessly to my phone?

iOS devices use AirPrint to perform wireless printing, your User Guide will explain how to set it up. But you need an AirPrint enabled printer or app to provide the right interface.

Canon MX870 network printer works sometimes

OK so I am in need of some help with printing over a wifi network.
I am using a Canon MX870 as a network printer with a Macbook Pro, and iMac that are connected to it via wifi. I also had it connected via ethernet and I still had the same issues. The printer does print but not consistently. It will randomly say that there is a communication error in the canon print status. I had the same issues with another HP officejet.
I am running the verizon wireless router and Mac OSX 10.6. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Given the current situation with the MX870 and the previous issue with the HP then I suggest you try changing the channel used by the Verizon router. Sometimes this can be done automatically by the router - simply restarting the device can be enough for it to obtain another channel. The other way would be to connect to the internal web page of the Verizon, by typing its IP address as the URL in Safari, and then manually changing the channel currently being used.
As to what channel to use, I suggest you get an application that can scan your immediate area to show what other wireless access points are close and could be conflicting with yours. There is a nice widget called Airlock that will show all wireless access points the Mac can 'see' and show what channels they are using. With this knowledge you can then select a channel that is not being used, or at least reply with what the utility finds and report this back.
The other thing you can check is the measured signal strength of the MX870. This can be found on the internal web page of the printer, which you access by typing its IP address into your browser. If you don't know the IP address you can use Safari to find the device, by opening the Bookmarks link in the toolbar and then selecting Bonjour in the left pane of Safari. The MX870 should be listed in the right pane. Selecting it will show the MX870 home page and here will be the quality and strength of the wireless signal. If these values are low then this will explain why you have been losing connection with the device.

IPrint app for iOS fails to print photos in colour

We are running the latest build of the iPrint Appliance (Version: 1.0.1.69 Patch 1) and cannot get the iPrint app for iOS to print photos in colour. I suspect that this is a problem with the internal renderer and JPG files. Printing a PDF, DOC or DOCX file which uses the External windows renderer prints in colour without any issues. Anyone know whether this is a known bug or how I can enable colour printing for a JPG file?
Thanks
Chris

Driver for Canon LBP-3000 printer

to all,
i could imagine tha there would be no driver of the LBP-3000 available for mac...
i found a site, saying that there is a CAPT driver from a japanese canon's site. the problem is... the dirver fits only up to Mac OS X 10.4.4... the OS in my macbook is tiger...
what should i do???
thanks!

10.4.4 is Tiger. Current build is 10.4.6. Next one coming up is 10.4.7, so this driver is supported in Tiger.
From MacOSHints:
After months of frustration of having to use Virtual PC running Windows XP in order to print to the Canon LBP 3000, I've finally discovered that Canon has indeed (albeit silently to the whole world) released a CAPT printer driver that works without the ridiculous requirement of having to have the Japanese version of OS X installed. This is not the Linux CUPS version, it is the full LBP CAPT driver made by Canon themselves. Software support: 10.2.8 thru to 10.4.4 (in English)
http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/lasershot/captusbmacx.html
It apparently works with:
LBP-2410 / 1210 / 1120 / 1110 / 1110, Premium / 1110SE, LBP5200 / 5000 / 3600 / 3500 / 3300 / 3210 / 3200 / 3000.
I've tested it with LBP3000 on 10.4.5 (directly and via Printer Sharing). The installer is in Japanese, and it quits all applications and requires a restart, and requires you to manually setup the printer using the System Preferences. After this mild digression, you have full printer functionality and setup options (including toner usage), all in English, and it's nice and fast.
My insanity has now gone, and I can now terminate that unnecessary relationship with Virtual PC for good!
PS: Japanese language skills are not required, just press the default button(s) when installing. If you're looking for an excellently cheap printer, I can now seriously recommend the LBP-3000.

Best Storage Practice for Canon PIXMA MG5420 Printer?

Hello,
My Canon PIXMA MG5420 Printer will be inactive for several weeks. What is the recommended best practice for preventing the ink cartridges and printhead from drying out and clogging due to inactivity?
Thanks,
Bill

Hello BSquared18,
The printer can be stored with the ink tanks and print head installed, make sure the printer is powered off properly so that the print head is capped. If you have print quality issue once the printer is out of storage, follow the steps listed HERE to perform a print head cleaning.

Just upgraded my Cannon MP Navigator App for my multi-purpose printer/scanner not working correctlly

After upgrading to Yosemite MP Navigator App for my Cannon scanner not working properly, Buttons are not active and do not respond .... it works on my laptop with Mavericks ... I will be reverting back to Mavericks .. I use my Scanner a lot . Apple please fix this problem.

I have the same problem with a Canon MP530 under Yosemite. I'm not sure why Canon can't get their act together to have updated drivers and software. Very aggravating.
I can confirm that pmt513's workaround works. That's fine for single pages. But what about batch scanning?
Here's another partial workaround. The main MP Navigator interface still allows you to do the scanning, both single pages and batches. You just can't save, send, or export those scans. But the temporary files are on your disk in TIF format. If you don't mind taking those and converting them to PDF or JPG (which you can do in Preview), then just look in the following folder to the files:
~/Library/Caches/Temporaryitems/MP Navigator 2.2/SCN_MFP
I have put an alias to it on my desktop so that I can easily access the scans. Be sure to copy the TIF files out before you close (and thus clear) the MP Navigator window as that also clears the files from that cache folder.
I hope this helps some of you.

What's the best app for a reader type program on the mac air

looking to use my mac air to read ebooks - any suggestions to the best type application for that
Thanks

That would depend on the source of the ebooks you're trying to read. If the ebooks have any kind of DRM, you would need to use the appropriate app (e.g. the Kindle app for ebooks purchased from Amazon). I actually like the Kindle app generally.
