Is Canon ip5200 compatible with Intel Tiger or isn't it?

I have a Canon Pixma ip5200 and a (fairly) new Intel iMac with OSX Tiger. I am getting fed up with being unable to access the full range of settings - even such mundane things as print quality - when using certain applications. Photoshop and Acrobat are fine, I can select whaever I want, but apparently everything else is a problem. For example, I'm now using Firefox, I select File > Print, and find half the printing options in the dialogue box are scored out. If I try to select one, I get (for example), "This panel is not compatible with your computer. Contact the printer manufacturer for the latest version of your printer software. QualityMedia380 version 3.8.0, Copyright CANON INC. 2001-2005 All Rights Reserved.
Link to a screenshot here:

What's going on here? I have a new computer and, apparently, the latest driver (the newest version on the Canon website was issued last February). The dialogue box in 'About ip5200' says the driver is v4.4 (161.6), copyright Apple. The dialogue box above says the incompatible bits are copyright Canon. I'm confused.
One further piece to the puzzle - I found that if I set Comic Life to run through Rosetta, all printing options became avaiable. Most of them weren't by default. Sadly I can't choose Rosetta for all my apps (and I'm not sure that's supposed to be a good idea anyway).
Please, someone, save me from this insanity!
Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Aside from emailing Canon UK to ask them (which I'm
going to do now) is there anything else I can try to
make this work better?
I downloaded the driver pack from Canon's UK site and took a look at it. Everything in that pacakge is indeed a Universay Binary, so the driver should run natively on your Intel Mac.
A couple of observations. The screen shot you posted showed "QualityMedia380". That may be clue. In the package I downloaded from Canon, there is a PDE called "QualityMedia416.pde". This might indicate that you have some older stuff installed that is conflicting with the proper operation of your drivers.
Additionally, I see that the Canon drivers that are reported to be installed on Intel Macs is version 4.1.5. Again, this is older that the current drivers.
It might be worth your while to go to /Library/Printers and delete the "Canon" folder and any printer queues you have created for the Canon printer. For good measure, I would recommend you restart your computer. This shouldn't be necessary, but it will ensure a clean start of the printing services. Now reinstall the Canon 4.1.6 drivers that are on the Canon UK site and set up your printer.
If there was some old stuff interfering, this may solve the problem. If the problem persists, at least you can report that you have a clean install of the Canon drivers when you contact them.
Hope this helps.

  • Is MAC Pro (late 2013) compatible with Intel E5 or E7 Series 10 core CPU

    Is MAC Pro (late 2013) compatible with Intel E5 or E7 series 10 core CPU?

    http://macperformanceguide.com/MacPro2013-CPU-upgrade.html
    Someone did some testing and these Xeon processors scale differently, turbo-boost means it can put a core to sleep when it isn't needed and give more to the cores that are.
    But, the number of apps that do use more than 8-core are in short supply.
    Then there is the contention between cooling and whether the cpu or the twin GPUs get preference, OS X won't allow both to ask for full 100%.
    We assume you know all there is about cpu scaling and usage and just need to see which ones are on Intel's list that are pin compatible and have the right thermal requirements and such.

  • IMovie plug ins not compatible with Intel Macs

    I need a page turn transition for an iMovie 6 project I'm working on. I downloaded one from cfx, but apparently a lot of the plug ins are not compatible with Intel Macs. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

    Any GeeThree plug-in that uses flash will no longer work, which include all the WildFX plug-ins. Apple did away with flash support in Quicktime 7.3.1 or newer! Now iMovie is basically unusable without the very cool & professional GeeThree plug-ins. If Apple keeps this up iMovie will probably go the way of the dinosaur. I've talked to Apple about this and they responded "why don't you buy Finalcut Pro". It's what Apple does best, Farm the base.....

    Steve,
    Don't worry about it... and a warm welcome to Apple Discussions
    Unfortunately, there isn't a way, currently, to remove posts although you do have a 15 minute window to make any modifications.
    I suspect the 205 that you received and did not work was either faulty or was not set up properly.
    Your recommendation of the 210 is a good one and if they are priced similarly then, as I said, the 210 would be a better investment.

  • HT1557 where do i find Universal Binary Component compatible with Intel-based Macintosh that allows quicktime to show video?

    where do i find the link to the Universal Binary Component compatible with Intel-based Macintosh that allows quicktime to show video?

    I think your question is too vague to get an answer.
    You're asking for a 'Universal Binary component' for your 'Intel-based Macintosh'. Why universal binary?
    universal binaries are designed to work on both PowerPC and Intel machines. If you're using an Intel machine why do you need PowerPC support?
    Also, you want something that 'allows QuickTime to show video'. Well, not to be glib, but QuickTIme does video - that's it's raison d'etre. Therefore I think your question is more about how to get QuickTime to show a specific (non-standard?) video format. Without knowing what that format is, it's impossible to answer your question directly.
    That said, maybe the place to start is Apple's QuickTime Components index.

  • Latest Firefox update compatible with Mac Tiger OSX 10.4.11

    Firefox notifies me that I'm not running the latest version (I have 3.6.24 GTB7.1) and to download the version compatible with my older system (Mac Tiger 10.4.11). I click on that link and can find nothing that states what systems the version(s) there are compatible with. I have in the past downloaded and installed an incompatible version, a situation to avoid for obvious reasons.
    Bob Hunt

    Thanks for the fast responses, I am particularly happy to have found the floodgap.com website. Didn't think that I was the only one muttering about the abandonment of two decades of pre-Intel software and tech files that my work depends on, and am glad to see some action in that direction. Surely a cottage industry will spring up to keep hardware available. I love what Apple has brought us but not their ability to turn their back on what brought them up, and millions of users in the process.

  • Is Flash CS4 not compatible with Intel Graphics (laptop)? Really?

    Hi!
    I'm graphic and animation designer. My company buys CS4 suite
    including Photoshop & Flash. And I'm buying a laptop and now
    choosing between one having Intel Graphics and another with ATI
    Radeon. Intel has some features I need, but after googling, finding
    and reading this topic:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?14@@.59b6c473/0
    till the end, I see it does not fully support Photoshop
    CS4!!! I also need Flash CS4 working, so does it support Flash?
    So can you still recommend me buying intel integrated-laptop
    or should I take an ATI Radeon powered one? I need Flash working
    without annoying compatibilites problems. I don't want to buy an
    Intel one, if it is not Photoshop- and Flash- compatible....
    Thank you!

    It's important you understand what "fully support" means in
    this
    context. According to Eric Palmer's Dec 4 reply (12:11pm),
    Photoshop CS4
    does, in fact, run reliably on systems with Intel graphics.
    Eric purports
    to be an Intel employee, but obviously there's no proof of
    that.
    Regardless, his assertion jibes with with I hear from
    colleagues with Intel
    graphics chips.
    It's not as if Photoshop suddenly fails if you happen to
    choose, say,
    red from the color swatches. It's not as if Photoshop fails
    to export GIFs
    on Intel machines. The only thing you're missing -- and this
    is true for me
    too, even though I don't have Intel equipment -- is
    functionality that
    relies on OpenGL. One of these features, for example, lets
    you rotate the
    canvas while you work on a file. I don't mean rotate the
    image itself ... I
    mean rotate the actual work space without resampling the
    image, just as if
    you were rotating the piece of paper on which you were
    drawing. Granted,
    that sounds like a neat feature (I'd like to experiment with
    it, myself!),
    but it's not a deal-breaker.
    As far as I've seen, the Flash CS4 authoring tool doesn't
    rely on any
    OpenGL-accelerated features.

  • Need Sound Card Compatible With Intel D975XBX Mobo and Windows 7

    Did a search and no joy. I built a home theater computer about 5 years ago around the D975XBX,? I was using the Sigmatel integrated sound via toslink to my receiver without any problems. I installed W7 yesterday only to find that there are no Intel mobo drivers for W7. So before I go throught he hassle and expense of replacing the mobo and processor, are there any sound cards that are compatible with this mobo and W7? I don't do gaming on this machine, or 3D, mainly 5. out to my receiver. Thanks.
    Tim?

    DWell, I'll answer my own question. Finding it very hard to belei've that a driver wasn't available for the Sigmatel, I upgraded the Bios, then did another seach. Cha-ching, money!
    I really like SB cards, but I don't like spending money when I don't have to.
    Even though Intel said it stopped supporting?the mono?in '08, the bios was an '09 version. This may be helpful to others who are using this mobo.

  • Is the Canon MF3010 compatible with the Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.3)?

    A recently bought Canon MF3010 laser printer does not seem to be compatible with my Macbook Pro (10.8.3). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get it to work? It's not listed in supported software on the site and I tried downloading and intalling some software recently available on the Canon site, but that's not working either.

    The MF v10.0.0 driver available from Canon works fine on OS X 10.8.
    As for it not being listed in the supported software, if you are referring to the Apple KB article then that is just a list of what drivers are available from Apple. It's not a "only these drivers are supported" list.
    So assuming you downloaded and installed the MF v10.0.0 driver, what exactly is not working? Have been able to add the printer but it does not print? Or are you not even able to add the printer?

  • MSI P55 GD80 compatible with Intel COre i7 Extreme 965

    hye there, i just wanted to know is the new p55 GD80 fits with intel core i7 extreme 965??..
    as far as i concern, p55 mobo compatible with any i5 or i7 board, is that true.?

    The p55 stands for the chipset , so it's a p55 chipset and no x58 chipset ,.
    The p55 is only compatible with cori i5 and core i7 starting with 8... ( 860 , 870) it support only dual channel memory and not triple like the core i7 9... (920 , 940 , 950 965 ,975).
    The core i5 and core i7 860 ,870 has the pci-e controller integrated so you have only 1x16 or 2x 8x8  or 1x8 and 2x4 for triple sli in sli or crossfire. The core i7 9.... with x58 chipset have 2x 16 pci-e or 1x16 and 2x8 for triple sli , so for highend multi gpu's the x58 has a advantage and it has triple channel memory , but it is a small advantage.
    See here the socket  it support and if it has hyper-treathing or not.
    The core i5 750 has no hyper-treathing the core i 7 does, no matter what socket ( 1156 or 1366)

  • MSI-7293 compatible with Intel Core 2 duo E7600 proessor?

    Hi, I'm trying to revive an old tower system and a mate of mine gave me one of these mobo's with a Celeron Dual Core E1200 installed.
    This processor is a bit too anaemic for my purposes and was hoping to install the E7600 Core 2 Duo but I'm not entirely sure the CPU is compatible with the board.
    The CPU is an LGA 775 and this board is supposed to support Core 2 Duo and also 1066FSB so all looks good from that point of view. But as this seems to be an "early" 775 mobo and the E7600 a much later CPU I wanted to be sure before buying one.
    The board has BIOS version VF1120 if that helps.
    Also if the 7600 is compatible any opinions on whether the heatsink/fan combo from the celeron would be sufficient for the 7600 as both CPU's have the same max TDP (65W)?
    Any advice gratefully received   

    There is no MS-7293 retail board: http://www.msi.com/service/search/?kw=MS-7293&type=product
    What you have is an oem board made for Fujitsu (http://download.ts.fujitsu.com/WDB/FAQContentstart.asp?ID=23388551&Info=SA&Todo=Fullsearch&Sprache=en&LNG=COM&RN_FAQ=Search%20result)
    This forum only covers retail MSI products not oem ones. For question concerning cpu support ask the pc manufacturer because he determines what cpu is supported. As your board is an old VIA PT890 chipset board chances are slim anyway.

  • Canon imageRunner 3200 with Intel Mac

    Hi,
    I got my MacBook Pro in late October. Before that I had a iMac G5 and had it connected via TCP/IP to a Canon ir3200. Worked great.
    However, it has never worked on my MBP. Not before or after Leopard. Canon's support for this machine is terrible - they simply send you to their dealer, which, in my case, has absolutely no knowledge of software issues. I have downloaded multiple drivers from the Canon site (none of which are explicitly made for Intel Macs or Leopard OS), and none of them work. I have tried downloading drivers and printing via IP, no luck there, either.
    I have even tried leaving my G5 turned on and sharing the printer through it. No luck, I get an error message that after research is a result of the Fiery RIP on the Canon not meshing properly with the Intel chipset. (that is a topic for another day, just telling everyone to keep that option from being suggested).
    Does anyone have any ideas, or had any luck working with a similar Canon IR series printer on their Intel or Leopard Mac? I am in desperate need of a resolution...saving files to PDF and sending them to the G5 then printing is a hassle.
    Thanks for your time and help.

    The Canon Au web site does have the UB for the Canon printer board. This is the PS Printer Driver Installer v1.80. This is the link;
    http://www.canon.com.au/products/multifunctionals/multifunctionaldigital_devices/irc3100drivers.aspx
    As for the W7250, you will have to wait for an update. Our iPF is working but the W series is older and that is the likely issue with the drivers on Leopard. I would expect there to be a newer driver that will work on Leopard, but my experience with Canon (and this is probably the case with other vendors also) is that the current models get priority while the older models can take some time to get updates. Given that Canon doesn't provide direct service/sales on their wide format I am not sure who you could talk to. Maybe try ringing the Sydney office (02 9805 2000) and ask for the National Marketing manager for wide format printers?

  • Pc laptops Compatible with Intel Wireless Display (WiDi)

    I am perplexed and am in need of information/understanding/a reality check.
    I recently bought a Lenovo Z570 laptop that was explicitly advertised as supporting Intel Wireless Display (WiDi). I also bought a Belkin Screencast adaptor. 
    The computer arrived and there was the WiDi shortcut on the desktop. I plugged the Screencast adaptor to my tv through an HDMI cable and set the tv to the correct channel for the input. Great so far! 
    Per Intel's list of updates (http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-033375.htm), I went through and updated the wireless driver and then the Graphics driver. When I tried to update the Intel Wireless Display software, the process was aborted. And my screencast said that the monitor display could not be sent to tv. 
    After a lot of searching, I realized that my i5-2450M processor does not appear on Intel's list of compatible processors. System requirements can be found at http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031059.htm which says that the processor must be:
    ONE of the following:
    Intel® Core™ i7: 640M; 660LM; 640LM; 620LM; 620M; 610E; 690UM; 680UM; 660UM; 640UM; 620UM; 660UE; 2710QE; 2820QM; 2720QM; 2635QM; 2630QM; 2657M; 2649M; 2629M; 2620M; 2617M; 2540M; 2520M; 2510E; 2640LM; 2620LM; 2630UM; 2610UM; 2530UM; 2920XM
    Intel® Core™ i5: 580M; 560M; 540M; 520M; 480M; 460M; 450M; 430M; 580UM; 560UM; 540UM; 520UM; 470UM; 430UM; 2540M; 2520M; 2410M; 2537M
    Intel® Core™ i3: 390M; 380M; 370M; 350M; 330M; 330E; 2310M
    Strange, but at that point I was just angry that the store and/or Lenovo had made a whopping mistake. After all, the WiDi shortcut and program was on my laptop; there has to be a reason for that, right?
    After a lot of searching, I haven't come up with any answers, only more questions. Here on Best Buy, I searched for pc laptops that support WiDi. A list of 36 or 37 machines came up as qualifying. However, in going through them one by one, only a handful have processors that appear on Intel's list for the System Requirements. 
    I am very confused. Is Intel's list out of date? But if that's so, why didn't my attempt to update and use the software work? Are bestbuy and costco and multiple laptop makers mistaken when they say a machine is capable of supporting Wireless Display? What the heck is going on? Can anyone help me figure this out?
    The Lenovo is on it's way back, but I need a new laptop as my old one is literally falling apart. A new one with WiDi would be extremely useful for a disabled family member. I'm also stuck with the Screencast I bought now too. Beyond all that, I'm really curious what is going on. Am I just stupid or befuddled or . . .is there something I'm missing? Any help would be so, so appreciated. Thank you.

    The notebook does fully support WiDi but for some unknown reason, yours simply did not work. The CPU specs from Intel list WiDi as a capability of the CPU and the notebook has the appropriate hardware. I couldn't say why it didn't work but Lenovo does not advertise WiDi as a function of that model on their website so something is obviously off.
