Ipad3 - canon mg6150

Hello
I am absolutely new to this community.
Is it possible to use the iPad3 together with a Canon Pixma MG6150 (which is a non airprint printer). I have already tried something like airprint activator; unfortunately without any success. The iPad is still not able to find the printer.
If it is possible at all I really could need a step-by-step instruction.
Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.

There are some apps that allow you to print to non AirPrint printers that are connected to your network. Most require that your computer be up and running as well. I've tried a couple of these but didn't find them useful for my older Mac system.
There is also a device called the XPrintServer. It plugs into your Ethernet network. Your iPad will then find the XPrintServer and allow printing through that device to any printer on the network. Search Google for it. Sorry but I've not used it so can't comment on how well it actually work.

How do I print images from Aperture to the Canon MG6150?

I have recently installed (i think correctly) a Canon MG6150 printer on my iMac but am having difficulty making it work correctly when photo printing (the wireless connection seems OK). When printing from Aperture I can cause a print to be made but the printer prints very quickly and the colour balance is incorrect (it's too pale and not saturated). I think maybe this is due to the wrong paper selection but i can find no way via the Aperture menu of selecting the paper type being used. According to my 1:1 trainer i should see a "Quality and Media" sub menu in Aperture when i print and from there i can select paper type etc. However this "Quality and Media" sub menu is not present on my machine when printing from Aperture. As an alternative i've tried printing from the Canon Easy Photo Print EX utility but each time i try this i have to go through a lengthy process of identifying my region and country before reaching the select images screen. Once there i am unable to find my Aperture files and hence cannot select any images, nor go onto the next stage which seems to be selecting the paper type. All this would be very arduous to use (lots of keystrokes) - am i missiing something?
Also when installing my Canon software from the supplied disc i was referred to the Canon website which said that there were driver updates coming along to sort out some bugs associated with Lion OS (which i'm using). As i understand it these new drivers are not available until sometime during October and hence i haven't been able to download any as yet.
Any help greatfully appreciated as i'm fast running out of hair. Thanks a lot.

The same way you would export to any file system:
Connect the flash drive and once it is mounted you can export to it in the regular manner.

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?

Hi Steve,
No expert, but since nobody else has piped in...
Did you setup the DNS Server IP?

Duplex printing on Canon MG6150

Hey everyone,
I recently bought a Canon Pixma MG6150 printer which comes with automatic duplex printing. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I want to use it in InDesign to create a booklet however, whenever I go into Print Settings>Printer>Duplex Printing & Margin everything is greyed out.
I've tried all the drivers I can find on the Canon website and the CD that came with the printer. I've heard about using older drivers, does this mean to download older OS drivers (I tried 10.5 and my Mac said it was not possible to install) or older drivers from Canon?
Any ideas? Thanks!

I fixed the problem, however I've seen a lot of questions about the Canon duplex printing issues with some Mac users so I thought I'd put my solution up to help anyone else.
Going through the On-Screen Manual that comes with the CD I found out that:
When a media type other than Plain Paper, Hagaki A or Hagaki is selected from Media Type menu of Quality & Media, Automatic Duplex Printing appears grayed out and is unavailable.
When Borderless Printing is set, Automatic Duplex Printing appears grayed out and is unavailable.
Automatic Duplex Printing can be performed only when one of the following paper sizes is selected from Paper Size.US Letter, A5, A4, B5 JIS (JB5), Hagaki
After printing the front page, there is an ink drying wait time before starting to print the back page (Operation stops temporarily). Do not touch the paper during the time. You can change the ink drying wait time from Custom Settings in the Canon IJ Printer Utility.
After going through the printing settings and following these regulations, Duplex Printing was no longer grey!

Problem Printing onto CDs from Photoshop CS5 - Canon MG6150 printer

I cannot find a solution to this problem anywhere!! I have a Canon Pixma MG6150 printer and have designed a CD/DVD label using Photoshop CS5. The proportions are all correct, when printed on paper from within Photoshop I can cut out the label and it fits my printable media perfectly.
The problem is printing directly onto the CD or DVD using the printer's CD print tray. I cannot get the alignement correct -- the label will only print halfway off the media or more, so only a small section of my label appears on the CD. I have tried various settings from within Photoshop's print options and none work.
How can I get my label design to print onto the DVD or CD? Any help is HUGELY appreciated.
I am running Mac OSX 10.6.5.

I was testing other Imacs running the same photoshop CS5.1 with the new printer drivers from canon and it prints. They are running OSX10.6.8. My new computer is running 10.9.2 and it will not print from photoshop. Is the driver not compatible with the operating system? Is there something to try other than saying the driver is at fault. Do I complain to Canon to update their driver to work? What is a work around?
Thanks,

Canon mg6150 printer won't print with word on my macbook air

Hi
I have a Macbook air and my printer is a canon 6150.
When I go to print it doesn't always print out properly when I am using word and adobe pdf files. It seems to print ok when I open documents in preview.
I have been on the phone to canon and reinstalled the printer drivers and tested the printer by doing a colour copy and printing on my phone. Both of these work. As these work the cannon dude says its something to do with the setting in my computer rather than an issue with the printer.
What do I do now?
Thanks

Canon Pixma MG6150 not printing

I am very happy with Arch Linux, everything works, thanks to the clear wiki's!
But printing is a problem with my Canon MG6150. Cups is installed and works: i can select the printer
The drivers (cnijfilter-mg6100 3.40-4 and scangearmp-mg6100 1.60-3 from AUR) seems to work: I see the message (in KDE printer applet) 'Job completed. But no print.
edit: who can help me?

Try installing libpng12 from AUR. Canon software requires libpng version 12.

Canon MX870 duplex printing problem

I usually have letterhead paper in my printer tray. And everything used to work fine: if I were printing single-sided or duplex, the printer always printed the first page properly, on the side with the letterhead.
But ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, it will print single-sided on one side, and page one of duplex printing on the other.
If I load the paper face up, duplex printing puts page one properly on the letterhead side. But if keep the paper face up and print single-sided, it will print page one on the back of the page.
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any dieas how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Roger,
I just tested your symptom on a Canon MG6150 and it appears to be working fine for me.
I loaded a letterhead sheet face-up into the printers cassette. I then selected to print a single page from TextEdit. The text printed on the correct side.
I then created a second page in TextEdit document and selected to print. From the print dialog I enabled the duplex setting in the Duplex Print & Margin menu of the Canon driver. With the letterhead sheet loaded as face-up, page 2 printed on the blank reverse side first, and then paper was pulled back into the printer and page 1 was printed on the letterhead side.
So can you reply with what application you are having the issue with.
Can you also reply what driver version you are using. I am using v10.89.1.0 which was a recent update. You can check this by opening Printers & Scanners, selecting the MX870 and clicking on Options & Supplies. The General tab will show the version.

I have recently installed Aperture 3.1 and my Canon MG 6150 is unable to print good quality photos from it I have to use iPhoto to produce good quality prints. o

I have recently installed Aperture 3.1, but my Canon MG6150 has been unable to print photos of good quality from the Aperture print engine
and I have to return to iPhoto to obtain prints I am happy with.

I have now to reply to my own question having later found a thread over another canon printer with the answer. In the second print dialog box you click on "show details" and then on "layout". The following schreen shots make this clear. The settings can then be saved as a preset.
It's a pity the Canon helpdesk was not able to give me this information. I hope that this will help others with similar problems.

How to remove printer drivers and associated software?

I'm fairly new to Apple, so please bear with me... I recently upgraded to an Airprint-compatible all-in-one (HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus) and have given my previous Canon MG6150 all-in-one to my daughter. Now I want to remove the Canon software and the printer driver. There's no uninstall routines, I've searched the Internet extensively but despite looking carefully in Cannon and Apple sites, haven't found anything that documents my circumstances..
The software includes
- Canon IJ Network scanner (currently in menu bar at top left of screen)
- Easy-Photo Print
- Canon Solution Menu EX
- Canon OnScreen Manual
- MP Navigator EX
- MP Navigator EX Opener
Most of these seem to be in the Applications folder. Is it just a case of deleting these from the Applications folder or is there something else to do?
Then there's two drivers (printer and scanner) for the MG6150 all-in-one. There a *massive pile* of files within Library/Printers/Canon within folders called BJPrinter and IJScanner. One of these is the Canon IJ Network software referred to above.
Would appreciate advice...
Tim

First, resetting your printing system is a good start: right-click on any printer in the System Preferences and click on the command.
Next, while in System Prefs, remove anything printer/scanner related from your Login Items list, e.g. the IJ network scanner.
Log out and back in, the menu item should be gone now.
Now you can go and delete all apps manually, as well as anything Canon related from all Libraries, or get the free "AppCleaner" and drag and drop each app onto it - what's eventually left you can live with.
Restart, then install the new software.

How to print a pdf @ 100% 10cm on screen = 10cm on print

I cannot seem to print pdfs to any printer wireless or wired at 100%.
If i put 100% and choose boarderless paper the print out is one size if i choose with boarder it prints out a different size.
furthermore in both cases the print is not even 100% 10cm measured on screen will not be on either print outs.
This has been driving me mad! i've played around with a few of the preview settings ie switching between 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel and size on screen equals size on printout.
help

In testing your symptom to a Canon MG6150 I get exact reproduction. I created a 10cm x 2cm box in InDesign and printed that at 100%. That measued correctly.
I then exported the document to PDF and opened in Acrobat. With the ruler enabled I could see the box was 10cm x 2cm. And when I printed it with page scaling set to 100% the box was the correct measurement.
As for the borderless vs border, my understanding of borderless is that it will enlarge the document to fill. Often in the driver settings you can adjust the amount of extension so this would impact your image reproduction.

Pink colour cast when printing from iphoto

When I try printing from iPhoto to a Canon MG6150 I get a pink colour cast. The preview shows correct colour and I'm running out of paper with my attempts to sort it!
What has gone wrong as everything else seems fine?

Do you get the same results if you print the same photos from Preview? If not then it's definitely an iPhoto issue. If you get the same it's possibly more of a system issue or printer adjustment.
Check the Color Options (Printer) and Color Matching (iPhoto) settings in the print window. You might try tweeking some of them.
Your print window should have something similar.

Bluetooth mouse stops working when adding a printer: 10.10.2

Hi,
I'm using a MacBook Pro 2012 Retina, upgraded to 10.10.2. Since upgrading to 10.10.2 I have been unable to connect to my Canon MG6150 that is plugged into the USB port of the Time Capsule (3TB). Those problems will be detailed in a separate post.
I have tried deleting the printer and creating a new printer and when I click on the + and get the window to select a printer, the bluetooth mouse stops working - the message comes up to show "Connection Lost". I have to select the printer manually and only when I have returned to the main Printer window in Settings & Preferences does the mouse connection work again.
Weird. Between this and not being able to set up the scanning features again (that used to work), I'm feeling underwhelmed...

sounds like an IRQ conflict. See if disabling plug and play in the bios solves it. Arch's kernel provides this already.
