Installed driver for Canon MP640 printer but when I use comes up with communication error

Hello
I have just purchased a new IMac and have had very little to do with Apple before so everything is foreign. I used the help desk today to download the driver for my printer Canon MP640 which came up as connected with the green light. When I went to print my first document it is now coming up with an error that ther is a "communication error". I am not a techno person and don't have a great deal of patience with technology.
Please helllppp.

HI everybody i want to ask if you come me in help, i want to draw paths but when i use stroke options with pen or brush settings i loose quality when i zoom in , can someone help me with pen settings???

HI everybody i want to ask if you come me in help, i want to draw paths but when i use stroke options with pen or brush settings i loose quality when i zoom in , can someone help me with pen settings???

The work path is a vector object, and infinitely scalable, but when you stroke it, Photoshop lays pixels on a layer that follow the path. These pixels are raster based and can not be scaled without loosing quality. You do have options. If you want to make the raster layer bigger, transform the work path and stroke it again. Or work at a higher resolution in the first place.
Incidentally, you can't stroke a Path with the Pen, because it is a Vector based tool, and stroking is a raster based function.

How to install Windows 7 64 bit driver for Canon i9100 Printer?

When I try to install my Canon i9100 printer on my HP laptop running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, Windows cannot locate a driver. Visiting the Canon website, I find an update module for the Windows driver. Canon says the printer MUST be installed using Windows Updater before their driver update can be installed. I have tried everything, but I cannot get Windows to find a driver. Windows Updater says that my computer is Up To Date.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
David

Hi Honeycutt,
The Windows 7 driver for your i9100 is only available from Microsoft through Windows Update. Please try Microsoft's web page for assistance with troubleshooting this:

How install driver for Canon pixma iP 1200 printer?

I found in AUR driver for pixma iP 1500 (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd)
and install it.
And found driver for printer pixma iP 4200 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd.
Do driver pixma iP 1500 good for my printer, Canon pixma iP 1200? Or maybe need install other driver?

Hi newlife4rich,
Before you go through the effort of reinstalling the drivers, I think this might be an issue on the pritner side. What error are you getting on the computer? Also, do you get any error codes on the printer as well like E 1, E 2, etc..?

Cannot find the installed driver for Canon Pixma ip6600D

Hello,
I'm pretty new with Mac and OS X and got one problem to use a previous installed driver.
First, please excuse my bad english, I'll do my very best
I've got a Buffalo Linkstation Live 320GB with implemented USB Ports.
You can take the USB Port to use with a printer.
The Linkstation will be a Windows Printserver.
I've connected a Canon Pixma ip6600D at USB Port one and all works fine with Windows XP and Vista via network.
Printing with this Network device uses Windows Network-printing like -> workgroup\buffalo\lp (lan printer)
With Windows this works very well. But now im using OS X Leopard.
So I've downloaded the Canon Mac OS X 10.5 Driver for the ip6600D (can be used for Network printing) and installed it.
OS X wants to reboot, so I think the extension is installed fine.
After this im going to "System adjustments" -> "Printers and Fax" -> "Windows" -> "Workgroup" -> "buffalo" -> "lp"
The Printer is found and here comes my problem: The ip6600D driver does not appear in the drop down list. Only Gutenprint ip6700.
I'm able to print with this driver, but it doesn't work very well and im not able to use CD printing.
So, wehere ist the ip6600D driver? Lost in nowhere?
If I want to search for the driver, nothing could be found.
Searching with Spotlight for ip6600 doesn't find something to use.
Only the installer image of the driver and some web links.
How do I choose the installed ip6600D driver?
Thank you much for any help.

Since there doesn't appear to be an iP6600 driver within the Gutenprint v5.1.3 list, then you could try one of the other iP models, like the iP5200. The key is to find a model that uses the same ink tanks as your iP6600D (and preferably the same engine but that is not as easy to find). If one of the other IP models doesn't help, then you could try the S800. With older versions of Gutenprint I would recommend this model as it would be good enough for text printing, but not that good for images.
If you are unable to find a compatible printer then you may have to look at changing some things. The Canon printer driver has not been designed to be used on the Mac OS X when the printer is being shared by Windows, hence the need to Gutenprint. If this model is not supported in later versions of Gutenprint, then you could look at using PrintFab (which you will have to pay for) or changing the network setup so that the printer is not connected to Windows, such as getting an Airport Express/Extreme. This would allow both OS's to connect to the printer using the Canon driver. Or you could connect the printer to the Mac and get Windows to connect to the Mac share using Bonjour for Windows.

No Driver for Canon MP610 printer

Hello! I recently updated to Leopard. When I went to print using my Canon Pixma MP610 printer I received a message that “no printer was selected.” I then selected to add my printer but then a follow up request asked to select a driver or printer model. The drop down listed the Canon Pixma MP500 & MP 700 but not the required MP610. What should I do? Please help. Mike

Hi
Get your printer software from the Canon website direct and install. I live in the uk so make sure you select your country correctly. For uk drivers and software go-to http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010488.asp

Has anyone found the correct driver for Canon MF4018 printer?

I have tried installing all of the available drivers including MF4010 which other users have reported works- I keep getting Error-50 and cannot print anything. If anyone has used any driver for this printer that is compatible with my macbook pro - that could help me out a lot.

Since it's a 10.8 issue, why not place a new post in the 10.8 usage forum?

Hp psc 950 printer only prints black and white, no driver for Canon lpb 5000

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install my two printers on mac book pro.
Problem 1.
My HP psc 950 printer is only printing in a bad black and white quality - no color at all?? - any idea where I can download a printerdriver that is actually up to date? The one mac book has preinstalled seems not to be the right one?
Problem 2.
My may can´t find a driver for my other printer Canon LPB 5000 at all. I´ve already downloaded the canon drivers for Mac book - so I see a long list of Canon drivers but the LPB 5000 is not there and I don´t find any download of it in the web. I work with os x 10.7 and there is just an old mac driver for 10.6 to be found on the Canon website. I downloaded it but still does not work.
Hope someone can help. Both printers used to work fine on Windows but I am changing to Mac now and need to get them work.
Thanks,
K.
