Installing Canon MP 560

Fairly new to the Mac World and looking for help for installing and setting up my new printer/scanner from (Canon PIXMA MP560). The printer/scanner is connected to my iMac via USB Port.
I tried to install it via CD-ROM though did not work.
I uploaded from the Canon website the newest driver version (thought maybe the CD would be older than the latest Snow Leopard update). So far no success.
My Mac keeps telling me that the USB Port(s) is consuming to much energy for the system! I do not understand at all - the printer is connected with its own power line (which works - I tested it).
It does not show up in the printer menu BUT it was possible to set it up via Bluetooth (which I did not prefer though the printer at least appeared). However it is even then not printing (did not yet try the scanning part at all).
Can please help anybody.
Thanks a lot

Refer to Mac OS X v10.6: Printer and scanner software for the list of printers & scanners that Snow Leopard supports & the drivers required. Note that the PIXMA MP 560 is not on the list. You can contact Canon support to confirm this & to see if they have any suggestions for you but it is unlikely you will find a driver compatible with Snow Leopard for the printer.
Regarding the USB issue, if you unplug the cable from the computer or printer (leaving one end free & unconnected to anything) do you still get a warning?

    thanks for the reply. I followed ur steps to check the printer queue. I could only copy the URI link (which is:

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Installing Canon MP600 printer

    Cannot install Canon MP600 printer. I've cleared out all the old Canon software, then downloaded all latest drivers form Canon, but when I try to add the printer I get message
    "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer.
    successful-ok-conflicting-attributes"
    Any ideas how to resolve this?

    My mp600 installed perfect. If you have the cd that came with it, I just installed the included drivers and all went fine. Try trashing all the canon software again. Search with spotlight to see if any other canon programs are in folders elsewhere and trash them too. Then try reinstalling again. Even without installing the drivers, your mac should recognize and make usable the mp600 (it just has less print settings than the actual canon driver).

    Thanks for telling us the printer model. You are right - it isn't in the software available for auto-download from Apple servers.
    Are you using the version 3.66 CAPT driver released in Jun 2014?
    Get it from:
    http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i- SENSYS_LBP5000.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:13-920158&os=OS%20X%20v10 .9&language=
    It is a disk image (.dmg) file. You must double-click to "mount" the disk image, then install using the installer inside that.
    Please let us know if that helps. There are more thing to try.

  • I installed Canon Pixma MG5520, since, always get "canon quick menu has stopped working" how do I fi

    I installed Canon Pixma MG5520 on win 7, since, always get "canon quick menu has stopped working" how do I fix please?

    Hi thaluza,
    We can see if there are files in a folder called TWAIN_32 other than those related to the printer that may be causing a conflict with the Quick Menu. If there are, we can temporarily remove the files to see if this will resolve the issue.
    To move the non-Canon Twain files from the Twain_32 folder, please follow these steps:
    1. Go to Computer / My Computer and locate the C: drive, then double-click on it to open.
    2. Locate the WINDOWS folder, then double-click to open it.
    3. Locate the TWAIN_32 folder, then double-click to open it.
    4. Inside of the TWAIN_32 folder, you will see a folder for your printer as well as a WIATWAIN.DS file. If there are other files in that folder, you will want to move them to another location, preferably your Desktop by doing the following:
        4-1. Click on each of the other items in the folder other than the the WIATWAIN.DS file and the folder for your printer to select them. You will want to hold the the CTRL key on your keyboard while selecting each of the items until all of the items except for the two referenced above are selected. Please be sure to leave the WIATWAIN.DS file and folder related to your printer inside of the TWAIN_32 folder.
        4-2. With all of the items you want to move selected, please go to the EDIT menu and select the CUT option.
        4-3. Go to your Desktop (main window that comes up when you start Windows with all of the icons on it) and right-click your mouse in any blank area, then choose the PASTE option. The items you selected from the TWAIN_32 folder should appear on the Desktop.
    5. Try to launch the Quick Menu again.
    Hope this helps!

  • Installing Canon photo software

    I am tring to install Canon's photo software that came with the Canon SLR I bought. I can't load the software on my 10.3.9 OSX Mac. When I click the Canon EOS Digital Installer icon, it says it's preparing to install the ImageBrowser (I guess that's the first program in its list) and comes back and says Not Authorized to Write to this folder. So I can't load any of the software.
    Canon support says I have to disable security (not the most helpful help). I didn't know I could do that. Any ideas?

    You probably don't need to install any software from Canon to use your camera with your computer unless you want to. When you plug the camera into the Mac, does it see it? Likely it will offer you some options on what to use to access the photos on the camera.
    My personal preference is to use Image Capture and not iPhoto since I don't like programs controlling my photos. Instead I use Image Capture to download the photos to my hard drive and I use my own folder system to sort them.
    But anyway, back to your question. Is the account you are using on your Mac the administator account? Do you have multiple accounts on the computer? If not, try restarting the computer and hold down the SHIFT key until you see the SAFE BOOT screen. After it boots up try installing. Safe Mode simply loads the operating system and not any of the auto loading applications that might be starting up with your computer.

  • How to install Canon MG3170 printer to Macbook Air (mid 2012), both USB & wifi

    I have been trying to install the Canon MG3170 to my Macbook Air (mid 2012 version) using OS X Version 10.8.4. I followed the paper manual that came with the box & used the CD provided. In the midst of the installation, "AN ERROR OCCURRED WHILE TRYING TO ADD THE SELECTED PRINTER: UNABLE TO FIND THE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE ON YOUR SYSTEM AFTER RUNNING SOFTWARE UPDATE."
    Problems:
    1) Cannot connect on Network because there is no WPS button on my Airport Extreme and Airport Express.
    2) Cannot print, both via USB or wifi network.
    When I bought the printer, I specifically selected this because it has Airprint and wireless printing and was one of the few printers in the Apple Online store. However, I have been having a lot of issues getting the printer installed to be used on  my Macbook Air.
    Please help!!

    Thank you John Galt!
    After running SOFTWARE UPDATE, I restarted the Macbook. (DO NOT CONNECT THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK YET!)
    Then I connected the Canon Printer MG3170 to my MacBook Air via the USB cable.
    Next, I switched on the printer.
    I am able to print and scan (via USB cable) from;
    SYSTEM PREFERENCES - PRINT & SCAN - select CANON MG3100 series.
    To install applications for printing & scanning, go to http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201148300.html
    However, this solved part of the question above, i.e., printing via USB cable (which is not the whole purpose of using the Airprint Printer) but at least it is a start.
    *NOTE: UNINSTALL any prior Canon softwares and drivers specifically installed for this printer first before attempting the steps above as it may interfere with the installation process.

  • Installing Canon LBP 2900 on Mac OS 10.6.5

    A working solution !! (Works for me on Mac OS 10.6.5 - Not sure of previous versions)
    Copy these instructions onto a text file and place it on your desktop for reference. You will need to follow these instructions 100% as is.
    Step 1: Go to system preferences>print & fax> Click on any printers listed and delete them
    Step 2: Download the file: http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0028785.asp?model=
    Step 3: Install this file and wait for your mac to reboot
    Step 4: Download the file: http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip
    Step 5: Unzip this file onto your desktop. Make sure it is unzipped as file name 'CAPT' - (should happen automatically since the zip file's got the same name)
    Step 6: VERY IMPORTANT - FOLLOW THIS PATH ONLY
    Go to: Finder>Macintosh HD>Library>Printers>Canon
    Step 7: If you find a folder here called CAPT, rename it to something else.
    Step 8: Copy the unzipped CAPT file folder from your desktop into this Canon folder ( Finder>Macintosh HD>Library>Printers>Canon )
    Step 9: Go to system preferences>print & fax> and add a printer by clicking on '+'
    Step 10: Click on 'Default'
    Step 11: Click on 'Canon LBP2900' under the printer list
    Step 12: Click drop down next to 'Print Using' and select 'CAPT Printer' (If it doesn't get selected automatically)
    Step 13: Click Add ( May take some time to add printer. If the busy icon doesn't disappear, switch off the printer and switch it on. The printer should get added automatically)
    Step 14: In the Print & Fax window (system preferences>print & fax), double click on Canon LBP2900 in the printer list on the left
    Step 15: The printer window will open with status as 'Printer Ready', Click on 'Printer' on file menu and click 'Print Test Page'
    Your test page MUST roll out. If it doesn't, you may have missed something. Repeat from Step 1.
    Finally, to see what you have done, go to Users>library>printers where you will see the Canon LBP2900 printer app installed. Do not mess with this!. Close all finder windows and system preferences and you are good to print.

    Great! For 10.6.7 it also works. But i needed to turn the printer off and then on after step 9. Thank you so much.

  • I desperately need help installing Canon Pixma ip6000D printer in Windows 7 64-bit

    My software CD (drivers, etc.) will not work with Windows 7 64-bit. I have tried running it in Windows XP compatibility mode, but it says it is made for 32-bit and will not work with 64-bit. Canon's website says it has an add-on module, but it doesn't have
    the printer driver, and it says "Your printer must be installed via Microsoft Update before you download and use this module." I have tried to find a way to install the printer via Microsoft Update, But I can't find any information
    about how to do this.
    I have also done searches for the canon pixma ip6000d drivers for windows 7 64-bit, but all the results I have seen say that they are an add-on modules.
    I would GREATLY appreciate any help with this.

    After doing some more digging, I found a solution, and hopefully it will help anyone else who is having problems. Go to this page:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Install-a-printer
    You can manually install the printer by following these instructions. If the model of your printer does not show (mine didn't), click the update button. It will take several minutes (maybe longer if you have a slow internet connection), but eventually it
    will bring up a new list of printers. Just choose your printer and follow the instructions. My printer is working fine now.

  • How do I install canon camera software on my macbook air?

    I recently bought a canon dslr, but I can't install the editing software that came along with it because I do not have a cd drive (macbook air). Can it be installed through Remote Disk?

    Good question.  The Remote Disk is used mainly for installing software.  It does not work for watching movies.
    From the document referened:
    Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing:
    DVD movies.
    Audio CDs.
    Copy protected discs such as game discs.
    Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.
    Burn a CD or DVD
