Install printer canon pixma mg2220

trying to install Canon Pixma MG2220 multifunction.  says not supported by my OS 10.4.11.  Is there any way to install this printer?

Hi, I doubt it'll work in 10.4.11, but might try an older Canon driver...

  • HELP!! Canon Pixma MG2220 has no response when I select print or try a test page

    I recently bought a Canon Pixma MG2220 printer for my home. When I installed the software and hooked it up to my laptop (toshiba with windows 7) and selected 'print' to try it out, nothing happens. The display just keeps flashing oddly like in a circle and nothing prints. When i tried a test print to diagnose the problem, nothing also. I tried several times yesterday and when I turned the printer on today it spit out the test page from yesterday. Am I missing something? I don't really know much about printers or drivers... Is it something simple that I keep overlooking?

    Hi Tiffany11x,
    The spinning symbol you see is the printer processing your data from the computer.  Since it is taking a long time to print a test page, we could be dealing with a communication issue.  Have you tried a different USB cable?  A shorter good quality cable around 4 feet is ideal.  Also, try connecting the printer to different USB ports on your computer to see if that helps.
    Finally, to ensure that the hardware is functioning properly, make a basic black and white copy with your PIXMA MG2220.  Keep an eye out for the spinning symbol again.  A normal copy should only take a few minutes to process.

  • How can i connect my printer canon pixma mg7150

    Hello,
    I don't find the good driver for my printer CANON PIXMA MG7150, and i use a usb cable.
    Is it good ?
    Thanks

    I have been setting up the same printer this week, with a USB cable  to my iMac. I have taken Mac printer drivers from the Canon site.   Here is a link that I used.
    http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/ InkJet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG7150.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:14-1 091005&os=OS%20X%20v10.9&language=EN
    Apple have notified that they have newly updated printer drivers for this printer, which you can download if you have the other drivers in place.
    Hope this helps.

    please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

    You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

  • HT2250 I have an Apple network utility that with the previous printer (Canon PIXMA iP 5000) found the printer on the Network for use on a wi fi system but a newish printer (Canon MG6150) does not show up as Bonjour.  Is that correct?

  • Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170' - however, I get Error during installation

    Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170'  -
    I followed the following steps mentioned on some site:
    "Follow below steps to setup Canon MG3100 printer to wifi using WPS function (by a button push on the wireless router/access point)
    Press and hold maintenance button on printer. (button with screw driver and cutting pair symbol)
    Now the LED should flash as '_'
    Press and hold 'Fit to Page" button, now LED should flash as single dash moving vertically.
    Once the LED flash is confirmed, press and hold WPS button on router/access point for about five seconds.
    Printer should stop the flashing and LED should be back to normal displaying '1'.
    This completes the setup and you are ready to use your printer wireless ".
    However,
    1.LED on my printer flashes 1-2-3-E instead of a steady 1.
    2. Error message during installation : "An error occurred while communicating with the printer"
    3. Im using a netgear router - and I don't know what is an access point and how to configure it for the printer.
    4. I think I pressed the right button - (WPS button) - button with symbol  having a tower emitting waves.
    My installation as a result - failed. Need your help.

  • New Canon Pixma MG2220 printer - install problems on Windows XP

    I bought a new Pixma MG2220 printer and received it 2 days ago. I followed the instructions and installed it from the provided CD on my 10 year old Compaq S4020WM desktop computer upgraded with 1GB RAM and 1TB hard drive running Windows XP SP3.
    The CD installation took a very long time to complete (maybe an hour or so) and things did not work right. In particular the My Image Garden software was very slow and sluggish to respond. So I downloaded and installed the latest drivers and software from the Canon website on top of the existing installation, which did not help. The My Image Garden software began crashing completely with an error message about a bad .dll file. After talking to Canon tech support on the telephone, the support tech admitted that this software CD was probably not compatible with my old XP computer. The My Image Garden software uses like 500MB RAM which is too much resources for my machine. So the rep had me uninstall My Image Garden.
    At that point I decided to uninstall everything and start over from scratch because something was obviously not right. For example, the Canon MP drivers were using 755 MB RAM, which seemed much too large. Obviously things had not installed properly from the setup CD, in general. The date on the setup CD was 2011, so apparently it was 2 years old, and long out of date!?
    So I uninstalled everything except the Canon registration and onscreen user manual. I also kept Windows Adobe RGB 1998 because I didn't see any way to uninstall it. I also uninstalled .NET 4 which the setup CD had said was necessary, as well as Microsoft XPS EP which My Image Garden had also told me was needed. Then I cleaned up my computer as well as possible with help of Revouninstaller and Ccleaner, which was necessary because things were very messy with many uninstalled remnants and incorrect registry entries. I feel lucky to have survived those tasks without having to reinstall my op system. It wasn't easy.
    Then I installed the following 2 modules (only) downloaded from the Canon website:
    MG2200 series MP Drivers Ver. 1.01 (Windows 8/8...         01/31/13     14.07 MB
    File Name: mp68-win-mg2200-1_01-ejs.exe
    This file is a driver for Canon IJ multifunction printers. You can install the following items of the software: MP Drivers: The driver for Canon IJ multifunction printer. IJ Scan Utility: The software that allows you to easily scan photos, documents, etc.
    *My Printer Ver. 3.1.0 (Windows 8/8 x64/7/7 x64/...         01/07/13     5.12 MB
    File Name: mypr-win-3_1_0-ea11_2.exe
    This file allows you to easily change the settings such as the paper source settings and provides you with information on how to solve problems such as ink smudging.
    I believe that's everything required to access all of the print, copy, and scan operations of this MG2220 printer. Based on my current understanding, I would classify everything else as optional. I use free Irfanview for editing and manipulation of images, which seems a satisfactory substitute for the other software.
    I did not reinstall .NET 4 or Microsoft XPS EP, because apparently they're only required if you install the My Image Garden and/or Quick Menu modules. I also did not reinstall the Easy-WebPrint EX module which apparently only applies to printing with the Internet Explorer browser, while I primarily use Firefox, Chrome, or Opera browsers. And of course I did not reinstall My Image Garden nor the Quick Menu, which were so problematical originally.
    On the bright side, the Canon MP drivers appeared to install correctly this time, using only 35 MB RAM (vs 755 MB previously). Also the Canon IJ Scan utility was reinstalled automatically as a part of that driver installation process. Those items have their own shortcuts. I found it useful to make one additional shortcut via Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes > "Canon MG2220 series printer", to allow easy access to all of the internal printer settings and variables. Like I said, I believe this is all that's required, in addition to some image manipulation software such as Irfanview. I deal mostly with documents and never print photos nor use cameras. Those who have large photo collections and/or cameras may need something like My Image Garden or Easy-PhotoPrint EX.
    I previously used Lexmark printers for the prior 10+ years, where everything is controlled by software from the computer. I never had to use the buttons on the printer. That's obviously different with this Canon printer, which will take some getting used to.
    I'm disappointed that there's apparently no way to enlarge or reduce the % copy size with this model. Is there? I also don't find any setting for lighter/darker when making copies. Is there? There are apparently no other enhancements or filters available when copying. Are there? Similarly, scanning seems remarkably unversatile with this model and I can't find any way to set a scan for ligher/darker or apply various enhancements/filters. Are there?
    The printing seems OK, but I must still decide whether the very limited copy and scan options will be sufficient to my needs. I'm not sure yet. I might take it back for a refund and get something better, if I knew what was better. That's another research project. Suggestions?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Thanks for your info but the MG5420 is more than twice the cost at my local Walmart and Staples stores.
    I thought I was being smart to buy the MG2220 as a later model(?), but it looks like the prior model MG2120 has more copier and scanner features according to the online specs at the Canon website (see copies below).
    For example the MG2120 allows 25%-400% reduction/enlargement when copying, while the MG2220 does not. Can you verify this?
    Also does the MG2120 allow for setting copying to lighter/darker? (I don't understand that complicated technical lingo in the specs.)
    Thanks.

  • Printing to Windows Printer (Canon Pixma iP1500)

    I have a Canon Pixma iP1500 connected to my Windows PC, shared on my home network. On my MacBook I can see the Windows PC and can even see the printer but when I add it the model doesn't show up in the list of printer types.
    If I plug in the printer directly to the MacBook it works fine but not across the network.
    I have searched the forums and found some suggestions, none of which work. I even tried something called "PrintFab" and it doesn't work either.
    This is so frustrating. I'm a new Mac user and I want to be able to print from my MacBook without having to plug it into the printer.
    Any suggestions?

    Greg
    I too am new to Mac. I downloaded and installed the printfab trial version and followed the instructions included. This problem has been driving me nuts for several days now... My MBP now see's and PRINTS great so far, thanks for your post and help!!

  • Printer Canon Pixma MP620, Wifi problem

    I have a new Canon Pixma printer mp620 (USB / LAN / wifi)
    I can not get the printer with the wifi ?
    It works well with USB cable directly on the iMac!
    This printer is used in a wireless network with a Windows XP computer with a wireless modem router USRobotics
    What is wrong with the iMac ?
    Tips: the printer works well in wireless with the PC WinXP
    Canon doesn't propose new driver on www.canon.com !
    Thank you in advance ...

    If you want to connect to the MP620 via wireless, then the instructions are stating that you need to have your wireless access point (the wireless router) ready and you need to know some information about the router, such as its SSID (its name) and any password you will need to connect to it.
    The setup is pretty easy. It's just the manual tries to cover too many options.
    First you must have the printer driver installed and be connected to it via USB. This is so you can communicate with the printer to configure the network (LAN) settings.
    With the printer appearing in the Printer list, you can open the printer queue and select Utility. From the new window, select the Printer shown as a USB device and click the Network tab. This will guide you through connecting it to your wireless network. This is where you need to know your access point information. Once the printer is connected to your wireless network, you will be prompted to turn off the machine and then unplug the USB cable. When you turn the printer back on, you can then add the printer queue again, this time for the network connection. As others have said above, select to Add then select More Printers > Canon IJ Network. The MP620 should appear in the list, which you select and then click Add. Now you are ready to print...

  • Problem using a shared printer Canon PIXMA MG5140

    Hi
    I have a Canon PIXMA MG5140 Multifunction Printer Which is shared on my XP machine.
    I have installed the drivers on my XP and my MBP also Printer is working fine when it's connected to each one of these machines via USB.
    I have also added my printer on my Mac as a shared printer, but when I try to print something on my shared printer it's staying there with the status Printing on my mac and on the other side on my XP machine the job is added to my printer with the status spooling and it's not going to do anything, even waiting for 20 minutes doesn't help, it's not printing.
    I have another printer shared on my XP machine and it's working fine with my MBP.
    I also have another XP client which can work with both of my printers on my XP machine so I think there is something wrong on the mac side.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you have the printer shared by Windows you cannot use the driver supplied by Canon. Instead you need to look at an alternate driver, such as those offered by [Gutenprint|http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php] or [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net>.
    Gutenprint is preferred because it is free while PrintFab costs €49. However the MG series is not yet listed as a supported model of printer with the latest version of Gutenprint so you may be forced to look at using PrintFab, which does list the MG series as a supported printer - although they don't list an 5140 but have the 5120 and 5150.
    With PrintFab installed you can then add the printer via the Windows browser of Add Printer. And then for the Print Using menu you can select the MG PrintFab driver.

Maybe you are looking for
