I can't print to my Canon MP830

I can't print to my Canon MP830 all-in-one printer unless I use weprint which causes me to leave my PC logged in at all times in order to see the printer. The cannon is the printer I use at home and if I open my laptop and log into our server at work (I have had to add my home printer to the list of printers on the work server in order to see it). Why won't my Ipad 2 see my Canon. I know that it works well with most HP printers however, there is absolutely no reason for me to purchase another printer when mine is perfectly fine and well-suited for our home office. What can I do to remedy this issue?
Thanks,
Bart

HT4356 Can I print to a canon pix a mx410 from my iPad 2 and my iPhone4s? It is a wireless printer

Can I print to a Canon Pixma MX410 from my iPad2 and from my iPhone 4s? It is a wireless printer.

It does not appear to be Airprint-compatible.

Can't print to my Canon Pro-100. Get error message:There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be availableuntil you have selected a printerm and reopened any documants.

Your printer driver is having problems.
Resetting Photoshop's preferences sometimes clears it up (by removing previous print settings that the driver is supposed to read, but sometimes fails at).
Otherwise you'll have to work with Canon to figure out why the driver is misbehaving.

Can't print to my Canon LBP5050

Hi, I can't print to my Canon LBP5050. I already installed Canon CAPT Driver ver. 3.40 (UK), uninstalled it again, deleted the printer, restarted, re installed driver and re added the printer but still no joy. Please advise?

Only a thought. Have you tried downloading the software from the Canon website?

Can't print to a Canon MF 4690 wirelessly through Airport Extreme

I cannot seem to figure out why this isn't working. I just replaced a Brother printer (7 years old) that worked great wirelessly through my Airport Extreme with a Canon imageCLASS MF 4690. I found, downloaded and installed the drivers for it (10.6), but when I set up the printer, I can only print using a generic PCL driver. When I choose the Canon UFR driver, I get an error every time, when printing wirelessly or when directly connected via USB. I can see the Canon in the Airport Utility, but it won't print.
What can I do?

Welcome to the discussions, Joe P.!
+What can I do?+
You might try Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide to see it that provides some help.
Keep in mind that not all printers are compatible with the USB port on the AirPorts, so that may possibly be the case here if the troubleshooting steps don't provide a solution. Apple does not furnish a list of compatible printers, so unfortunately it's a process of experimentation to see your device will work with the AirPort Extreme.

Can I print to a canon ir c3220 from an iPad? If so, how?

I'm a newbie to the iPad and a bit of a Luddite when it comes to tech... I have a canon ir c3220 at home and want to print to it. The printer does not have wireless, it connects to a wireless router/modem via cable. all other computers print ok.

iOS devices can only print directly to AirPrint printers. All AirPrint printers are wireless but not all wireless printers are capable of using AirPrint.
To print directly from an iPad / iPhone you will need an AirPrint - enabled printer or another device to act as a print server. That can be a Mac running handyPrint (donation - supported). The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
You can also buy this standalone print server:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
These options enable you to use any printer available to your network, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades.
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device.

Can't print tabloid on Canon iR C2620 printer...

Here are my specs:
I have a 24" iMac (purchased about a month ago) running the latest version of Leopard and the Adobe CS3 Suite.
I am printing to a Cannon iR C2620 ImageRunner networked printer.
I can no longer print tabloid sheets on this printer from the CS3 Suite (Acrobat, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop)
I can, however, print tabloids to a Phaser 7300 color printer from CS3.
Makes no sense. I could print everywhere fine when I was on 10.4, so I assume this is a Leopard issue, but I wanted to post here to see if this had been encountered by anyone else. It's a huge inconvenience and I have no idea how else to troubleshoot.
The Canon drivers all stop at OSX 10.4, and Leopard has a new way of handling printers (supposed to be easier...) so again, I'm stuck.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok, I do have the imagePASS. I downloaded drivers for it (I think) but now I don't see them in the list of available drivers to choose from. Do I need to set it up as an Apple Talk printer?
You don't have to use AppleTalk. In a mixed environment I would recommend you use IP. The imagePASS support LPR and Port 9100, which the Windows machines will use as a default. To create the printer, select IP Printer and change the menu to HP JetDirect. Then enter the ip address of the copier, the queue will be disabled, and then for Print Using, change this to "Select a driver..." and in the search menu type 'Canon iR'. You could see the iR C3220/2620-C2 v1.x. Select this and click Add.
When I create the Apple Talk queue it selects Generic PostScript Printer for me.
Sometimes this can occur even when the driver is installed. But it could also indicate that the driver you installed doesn't match the printer/RIP you are connecting to. You can either print a config from the imagePASS to check what you actually have or opens its web page by typing its ip address into your browser.

Can't print using a Canon MF4370dn/ OS 10.6.8

Am running a quad core with 10.6.8, with the printer USB hardwired, and have done the following:
Repaced the USB cable;
Deleted and re-installed UFR2 v 2.2, including the .plist;
run repair disk permissions;
deleted and re installed the printer
The printer has worked in the past, though I have had to delete/install it a couple of times. Now all I get is beachballing and then error messages.
Arrg.

I don't believe there is a specific order, although a repair disk permissions is usually only needed after applications or drivers have been installed. So in a sense that is some order.
The reset of the printing system can be done at any time and if this doesn't get the printing to function again then it would suggest that the issue is not with the core printing system but with the driver and application it is working with.
You mention using the v2.2 driver. I would be inclined to remove that driver and install the v2.30 driver, which was released to support 10.7 but also supports 10.6. Here is a link to the UK English version of the latest UFR2 driver. If you are in a US English region, in that you use Letter size instead of A4, then get the same version driver from Canon USA.
Before installing this driver you need to remove the existing UFR2 files.
HD > Library > Printers > Canon > UFR2
HD > Library > Launch Agents > jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist
HD > Library > Printers > PPDs > Contents > Resources > CNTD***Z*2*.ppd.gz
(Where *** indicates a character string that represents the printer model and *2* indicates a character string that represents the corresponding language).

Can I print on a Canon MP480 using only a black ink cartridge?

Hi BKJen, Both ink cartridges are required to be installed in the printer in order to print, even if one of the ink cartridges are low or out of ink. If you are receiving a low/out of ink warning and need to continue printing, you can disable the ink level detection function of the printer by pressing and holding down the Stop/Reset or Resume/Cancel button on the printer for at least 5 seconds, then releasing it. Once the low/out of ink cartridge is replaced with a Canon genuine ink cartridge, the ink level detection function of the printer will be re-enabled. You can also set the printer to print using only the black ink cartridge from within the printer driver on your computer. If you would like instruction for doing this, please reply with what operating system is on your computer (version of Windows or Mac OS X), and we'll be happy to assist you.

Hello @downeyke , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you are looking into black ink options. I would love to try and help you, but I do need a little information first. I am linking an HP Support document below that will show you how to find which version of the Mac operating system you are using. With this information we can provide you with accurate information.

In can't print with my Canon printer

My Canon MP620 printer will not print using OS 10.7.2. I updated driver and Printer is "offline" Suggestions?

The offline indicates that there is no path between the Mac and the printer. Try removing the printer from Print & Scan and adding the printer again.

Can't print Canon Pixma via Airport Express

I am at my wits end. I can't print to my Canon Pixma 830 when the usb is connected to the aiport express (I can print when plugged directly into my ibook). I upgraded my base station to v6.3 from 6.2, and did all basic troubleshooting (restart, unplug/replug, etc.) and still no luck.
Any suggestions?

The Canon UFR2 and CAPT printer drivers for OS X do not work when the printer is connected to the USB port of an Airport device, or even a 3rd party print server. This has always been a limitation of the Canon UFR2 and CAPT for OS X.
FWIF - The Canon inkjets work fine with the printer connected to the Airport USB port.

Can't Print to Canon MF8350

After I upgraded to Lion I can't print to my Canon MF8350. The error I am getting is Printer is Not Responding, check to make sure the printer is on. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, deleted and added the printer, but nothing is working. I am able to print using a USB connection, which will work for a little bit, but I really need wireless printing. I did download the new drivers listed on Canon's website, but that didn't work either.
Would it be wise to delete /Library/Printers/Canon - looking at the folder doesn't seem like this is going to help me, since they contain bubble jet printer, fax and scan drivers for various Canon equipment, just nothing for my specific MFP printer.

The MF8350 has only built-in ethernet, which I run through an Airport hub on my wireless network without any problem - in Snow Leopard.
With Lion using the latest drivers from July 2011, I have had nothing but problems that appear to be related to the driver no longer recognizing the default paper type for the setting. There are numerous paper types available. You can set the printer to one type in the settings (such as Heavy 1) but with almost each print from the comptuer, I will ger an eoor "No Paper" on the printer itself because it does not match the paper types. I was told by Canon support that I have to go into the print settings every time I print and go to Paper Source, manually select the top Paper Source button then select the mathcing paper. The Canon tech guy mumbled something derogatory about Macs and said final drives are due in October. He called the current drivers Betas as to excuse it's lameness. At least I can print sort of reliably again. I do get crashed when trying to print, directly linked to the Canon driver.

How do I go back to version 4? I can't print

I am pulling my hair out, I can not print in Firefox. Can print in any other program. Firefox tells me my printer is not activated. Never happened until I upgrades. Will never upgrade again if I can get bbavk to working My computer is a Dell studio. Printer is a canon MP830. I have had to go back to internet explorer to print things I needed. I have also copied some files to a word processor & then printed but all this is a LOT of unnecessary work.

Regarding the printer reset, you use the about:config preferences page to make that change. For future reference:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''printer''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''print.print_printer''' and choose Reset. You can reset your other printer settings as well, which may take many clicks.
Firefox 5 is a security (and features) update for Firefox 4. Due to security vulnerabilities, rolling back to Firefox 4.0.1 is not recommended. Firefox 3.6.18 would be the safer choice.
Here's the process to roll back:
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 to your desktop for future installation. http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
Close Firefox 5.
You could install Firefox 3.6 over it (many have reported success) or you could uninstall Firefox first. If you uninstall, do not remove your personal data and settings, just the program.
Unless you have installed an incompatible add-on, Firefox 3.6 should pick up where you left off. If there are serious issues, please post back with details.
One other thought: if you don't already have a print-to-PDF program, you may want to get one for those times where you have problems printing to a physical printer. Free ones include: [http://www.primopdf.com/index.aspx PrimoPDF], [http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp CutePDF Writer] (requires two downloads), and [http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator PDFCreator] (uncheck the bonus toolbar box during installation to avoid extra add-ons).

Can not print nor scan since Tiger upgrade

Since I've upgraded to Tiger I can not print using my Canon i9900 (driver version 2.5.1) or scan using my Epson perfection 3200. Both use firewire. My Sandisk card reader which is USB is fine. When I try to print using Photoshop, Photoshop says I need an "acquistion module interface" (some plug-in). In system profiler, under firewire it doesn't list either my printer or scanner.... it just gives the maxium speed of the firewire bus.
I've tried reinstalling the printer & scanner, I tried downloading the latest Epson scanner driver from their website, I've checked all the connections, I reset the printing system and I've tried everything I could think of with adding, deleting and reconfiguring the printer. In the printer set up menu, I couldn't find my printer so I manually typed it in, the location was unknown. Does anyone know what the choices should be for location? I only use one printer and it's plugged directly into the computer.
imac g4 1ghz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

you might try to re-import them (from the iP library 4) into the iP library 5, (while iP5 is running).
Drag pics from old library4 onto the iP5 window while it's in operation. It will import your pics into the new IP5 library.
Else, when you upgraded to iP5, and opened iP5 for the first time, you should have gotten a message that the old iP4 library needed to be updated. If you said yes, then the old/newly converted iP library, will not open with iP4 anymore. You can move up, but not down!
So if you are not sure, always make a backup of your ip4 library, before upgrading to ip5!
hope it helps!
