I can no longer print to my MX870 from my desktop. The MX870 is on my network, not connected direct

I can still print from my laptop and my wife's computer.
The MX870 is not showing as a printer on my desktop, and when I try to add it, it doesn't show. Even though it shows as a scanner and fax. It works as a scanner, but not as a printer.
I tried reinstalling the software with no luck.

Anyone trying to connect to a Pixma MX### over a network has my sympathy.
This was a toughie.
The Pixma worked fine for Mac and over USB, but threw the error: "Printer Canon Pixma MX882 cannot be contacted over the network." when trying to print over the cabled network.
I got this Pixma MX880 series (MX882 specifically) to connect to Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit PC's using this method:
1) Install Apple's Bonjour networking protocol which is recognized by many printers including the Pixma. (you may need to install the Pixma driver if you haven't already. You can download it from Canon's drivers pages.)
2) Once installed, launch the Bonjour printer wizard to add the Pixma.
3) In the printer list, right click teh Pixma and open "Printer Properties"
4) In the "Advanced" tab, switch the printer driver to "Pixma MX880 fax printer" drver and click the "Apply" button.
(The fax driver should load)
5) Switch BACK to the "Pixma 880 Printer" driver and click the "Apply" button. Then click "OK"
Try your print job again.
This got the Pixma MX882 working on 5 different Windows boxes in no time by using the special Bonjour port created by the Bonjour Printer wizard (you can ee it in Printer Properties, "Ports" tab), but without the fax driver portion installed, it would not work. Both parts are needed and the driver installer does not appear to add the fax capabilities by default in all circumstances.
This solution may also work for numerous 2nd tier printer brands: Brother, Epson, Kodak that Win 7 struggles to connect to over a network.

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

When printing to Adobe PDF from Microsoft Publisher, the text on page 2 is not 100% black

Hi there
I'm using Microsoft Publisher 2013 to print to an Adobe PDF file (I have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.)
I sent the PDF to my printing house but they can't print it because the text on page 2 is not 100% black. In Publisher, the text colour on both pages is CMYK 0/0/0/100.
I created a test file in which I copied the text from page 1 onto page 2 so both pages are identical. However, the PDF created from that file, when I click Print Production, Output Preview and de-select Process Black, all the text on page 1 disappears (as expected) but none of the text on page 2 disappears! It seems that Publisher and/or Acrobat is printing the text on page 1 correctly but not page 2. Does anyone know why? Am I doing something wrong?
Here's a link to the two files: Dropbox - ShareAdobeComm
Would much appreciate some help if anybody can please point me in the right direction. Thank you.
(I'm seriously evaluating upgrading from my current 3rd party PDF writer to Adobe.)

Do not use the PDF Maker, but print to the Adobe PDF printer and see if that meets you need. If you need some of the tools of PDF Maker, then turn on only those you need, not them all. Check to be sure that the graphics are indeed being downsampled and possibly go back and reduce the graphics you have in the WORD file so that you are at least not using millions of colors, 256 max. Also consider using straight B&W if color is not needed, or at least gray-scale.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I can no longer print head shot photos from CONTACTS. Please assist.

Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I was able to print head shots - in ALPHABETICAL order, mind you - from Contacts. Why do we not have this feature any more? Please bring back the way it was! Thank you!
Issue printing from Contacts: can't print head shots and it's no longer in alphabetical order.
Please don't tell me I can do this from iCloud, because it only prints one contact at a time.

Click GO from Finder and hold down the Option key. You'll see the Library folder in the list. Or you can click GO and select Go To Folder and type ~/Library. This will open the user\Library folder.

I can no longer print web site pages from my Firefox browser. I can still print web site pages from Internet Explorer.

I tried the steps in the Firefox support area of resetting Print.Print_printer but that did not work. Whenever I try tp print a webpage the print preview page is blank and it freezes up. I then have to close the browser and start over. I can print webpages from Internet Explorer.

Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can no longer print to my Kodak AiO. The fix on Kodak site does not work.

Since upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite 10, I can no longer print to my Kodak AiO 5250. The fix on Kodak site with Terminal does not prompt to password like it says it will. Macbook has all available upgrades completed. Printer works with a PC.

This is where I found the Kodak fix: http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/49247/selected/true
I'm not really comfortable in 'Terminal' but tried it. Nothing happened after pasting in the first command. The fix says it will ask for password.
I see now this seems to be a pretty common problem, I would have thought Apple would fix it with an update for the number of complaints I've found. Since Kodak is in receivership or bankruptcy, I would think it's unlikely they will have any more solutions. I feel like Yosemite stole my printer.

I can no longer print using wifi. I have to connect a USB cable to print. Setup and pref show that I should be able to print wireless but I keep getting printer not found msg when trying.

I can no longer print via wifi. I could at one time but now I have to connect to printer with USB. All settings appear correct in printer and macbook. Sys pref shows printer with green light next to idle. Sending a print prompt results in "searching for printer, printer not found, ensure printer is turned on". I have reinstalled printer in my print list and reinstalled printer software on macbook. Kodak 5250 AiO printer shows it's configured for and on wifi channel. I go online with laptop using wireless but cannot print. Help!

If you know the IP address of the printer, then you can check if there is a working path between the Mac and printer. This can be done using Network Utility or a web browser.
If you open Network Utility and select the Ping tab, you can enter the IP address of the Kodak and then press the Ping button. If there is a working connection then you should get a reply to each packet sent.
With the web browser, many devices have a built-in web server so you can type the IP address of the printer into the browser and if there is a working connection then you will open the printers web page.
So, are you able to confirm you have a working connection between the Mac and printer?

With the new updates for iTunes, I can no longer print a CD case playlist when I burn a CD. It prints in a jumbled mess. I have reinstalled, updated, run diagnostics on my NEW printer, I am out of ideas!

It appears to be a bug with the current build. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.

Can no longer print to shared printer on mac running 10.5

We have an old G5 that we use to share a printer between various macs all running 10.9. I recently upgraded the G5 to 10.5 to see if that helped with some issues we had, but now that we can no longer print to the printer.
What I have done so far:
#1 Updated the printer drivers on both 10.5 & 10.9 macs.
#2 Reset printing System on both 10.5 & 10.9 macs.
#3 Readded the printer to the 10.5 Sys Pref > Print & Fax using actual driver
#4 Readded the printer to the 10.9 Sys Pref > Print & Fax
If I do the last step by using "Add printer or scanner" option...
...but use the Generic Postscript Driver I get: Looking for Printer > Connected to Printer > then the error "Stopped on server [G5's name] - No pages Found!". The job does appear on the G5 in the printer queue.
...but use the actual driver I get: Looking for Printer > Connected to Printer > then the error "Stopped on server [G5's name] - Unable to write uncompressed document data: Operati...". The job does appear on the G5 in the printer queue.
If I do the last step by selecting the printer under "Nearby Printers" I get "Unable to download the software from the server at his time".

There are some differences in sharing but it will work. I have a G4 that I use as a server, too.
First, tell me what printer model. There are driver differences, too.
At the heart, CUPS (the print control subsystem) uses IPP as the print sharing protocol. That part hasn't changed. So I recommend, for troubleshooting, setting up the printer on the client using IP printer > IPP protocol.
Here's a guide:
1) On the 10.5 print server, use a browser and point it at the CUPS admin web page athttp://localhost:631
Go to Printers list and find the queue name from the left side of the page next to the printer you want. Also note the IP address of the server Mac.
2) On a client, Add the printer as an IP printer > IPP protocol, and enter the IP address and queue name you noted above.
3) Select the generic postscript driver (on client Mac)
(after reading your second post, I want to remind you to set the server to use the correct driver.)
Finish and try it.
