Is it possible with a Canon MP 270 to print wirelessly?

Do I need an AirPort System or is my Router sufficient?

Canon i550 won't print wirelessly from iBook

I have a desktop PC and a new iBook which I believe should be able to print wirelessly through my Linksys router. [The iBook replaced a laptop PC which was able to print wirelessly. Of course they both were XP 2 systems.] I think I have set things up properly but perhaps not. When asked to print the system accepts the command and a light blinks on the printer but nothing happens. Any suggestions welcome.
iBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Canon (and all non-postscript printer manufacturers except Brother) does not provide drivers that can use all the comm protocols that OS X and CUPS can use, because it was easier for them to use the legacy OS-9 style single-comm (USB-only) driver. I think it's fair to say Apple didn't help, because they didn't remove that option. In addition, Canon doesn't help the open source community, so no one has come up with free CUPS drivers (like Gimp-Print) for Canons newer than 6 years old. Gutenprint (new name for Gimp-Print) is working on it.
You can buy an excellent CUPS driver from www.printfab.net. Then you can use all the OS X network protocols.
When you set up your IP printing, don't forget to enter the linksys-specific queue name in the setup - it's a part of the address that gets data to the printer.

My Canon MX922 will not print wireless or wired.

My CANON MX922 printer will not print wireless or wired. I used suggestions in Community such as "MX922 not connecting wirelessly, 7-6-15, post 1362, 10-17-15". (No solution). I worked with a great rep., by phone,for one hour. (No solution). My MG6220 has worked wirelessly, for two years, on the same Lenovo computer with Windows 7. THANKING YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP ME.

I tried that and the computer still can not recognize the printer. I used the CD that came with it to reinstall it and all goes well until the very end when the last window pops up and says it can not find the printer.I went and bought a new printer last night Canon MG5622 since it uses the same ink cartridges and I have a lot of of inkI didn't want to waste. This printer installed easily and works great.Not sure what happened with the other one but perhaps I'll pass it to my sister with the CD and see if it will install onher computer.thank you for your help, you're awesome for trying!Diane

HT1338 problems with Mac Book 10.7.5 printing wirelessly with HP Photosmart 6510e. I must turn off then turn back on for Mac to print.

HP Photosmart prints with PC, Droid phone but will only print wirelessly with MacBook OX 10.7.5 if I turn off printer and turn it back on. HP has tried, Belkin (router) has opened all ports, the problem persists.

That is great, but I recommend channel 11 instead of 10.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

I am struggling to connect my macbook pro to a wireless network. Works fine with USB and my Toshiba can print wirelessly but not the MAC. Any ideas?

Hi
I cant print wirelessly on my Mac pro but can via usb. the Toshiba does work wirelessly..any ideas?

If you can use the wireless network properly (surf the web, check email, etc.) then there is probably nothing wrong with your network settings.
When you print from your Mac Pro, does the printer show up in the Printer list at all (in the Print dialog box)?
If not, have you already tried to Add Printer from the bottom of the Printer list?
If you click Add Printer and it can't see the printer, the next thing to do is probably go to the Toshiba printer web site and see if there is a Mac printer driver to download and install so that it shows up in the Printer list.

I am using Aperture 3 to edit RAW and JPEG photo images on my Macbook. I am having color printing issues with my Canon MP640 Pixma color printer. The image I see on my macbook is not reciprocated in printing from my printer?

My issue is that I am not getting print quality compared to the image I see on my screen. Just recently it has been very wishie washie. My printer is supposed to be excellent for producing color prints
I have contacted Canon support but they told me that the signals that are sent to the printer originate from an Apple product, therefore, it is an Apple mac problem not there's. I am wondering if my on screen proofing and/or printing profiles are correctly set. I notice that in 'print profiles' there are nine different options for printing from my particular printer. How confusing is that?
I have also found that when I choose a high standard print option my photo print comes out very red.
Can some kind person please help me? I don't seem to be getting any help from anyone else! Thanks in anticipation.

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:
Calibrating Your Aperture System

Problems with a Canon i-sensys LBP6000 printer!!! Help me please!!!

Hello!
I just bought aprinter Canon i-sensys LBP6000 and I can make it work on my MacBook Pro(version 10.7.1). I downloaded the driver from the Canon website and I have installed it on my laptop very easyly.
http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010907.asp
But the problem is that when I want to configurate the printer I go to: System Preferences/Print andScan/ I don’t have the option of Add “Moreprinters”, so I don’t know what to do!!!
Does anybody have the aome problem??? Can anybody help me please????
Thank you very much!!!

When using your link it shows that the Canon Europe web site only has the v3.30 driver for the LBP6000. This driver does not support Lion.
So if you download this v3.36 CAPT driver from the Canon Australia web site, you will have the correct driver for Lion, and if you refer to the document "Registering_OS_X_Lion_en-uk_R.pdf", which is included with the driver download, it shows that you do not use More Printers but the IP > LPD protocol instead.

I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer. What exactly is OEM. Is it a full version? Can I transfer files between different computers?

@

OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

Canon mp495 won't print wireless from macbook

I've set it up, it will print the test page, and on word if I go to File>Print, it will print, however when I hit the icon on the word document, it says printer is offline. Any cures?

Ok I have the updated driver, deleted and reinstalled and still no change. The exact wording from click the shortcut is:Word could not communicate with the printer.
There are several possible reasons:
-Your printer or its driver may not be set up correctly or there may be a problem with the network connection. You may need to adjust your printer settings.
-There may be a bad connection between your computer and printer.
I don't see how it could be a network issue since it stil prints from the "file" selection.

Printing wirelessly to MacBook Pro with Airport Extreme Base Station

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station that I used to use wirelessly until I got Verizon Fios. The Fios technicians said the base station couldn't be used and so it's been sitting unused for a few months. However, I really, really miss printing wirelessly, and was wondering if it was possible to use the Airport Extreme Base Station ONLY to print wirelessly, and not connect it any way to my internet (I don't want to mess with any of the fios stuff at all).
If it's not possible, is there any other way to print wirelessly without purchasing another product or special printer. I have a HP c4480 printer.
Thanks!

If your printer has a USB cable the easy way to go about this in my opinion is to plug that USB cable into your Extreme base station. I have the Extreme ABS that looks like a flying saucer. I plug the usb cable into the port that has the symbol that doe NOT look like this <--> rather it looks like a Saguaro cactus.
My computer then sends print documents to the Extreme via WiFi and then Extreme sends them to the printer via the USB cable.
If your Airport status is not showing in the Mac's menubar go to system Prefs/Network/Airport and check a little box so it will show up in the menu bar.
Now if your Extreme is plugged in the wall and powered up your Mac should be able to find it. Click on that menubar item for Airport and scroll down and select your Airport Extreme. I don't know for sure what its name will be. It should still be the same as it used to be when you used it last.
Now try printing a simple document. In the print dialog window you should be able to select what printer you want to use. If your new Extreme printer is listed select it. You may need to click on Print & Fax and figure out how to select it from there, and choose it to be the new default printer.
I think this info will do the job. Whenever you want to print you have to go to the Airport icon in the menubar and change your airport connection from your Verizon stuff to your Extreme. Then of course you have to change back when you are done. That is why it would be great to toss the Verizon WiFi radio out the window and just plug your Verizon modem into your Extreme WiFi radio transceiver (router). But I understand you cannot deal with that at this time.
If this does not do the job, if I have missed something, I will bet you 5 bucks that you can still figure it out if you just look at any error messages and/or look at the Print&Fax prefs and the Print dialog windows etc. and see what I may have missed. Maybe you have to go to SystemPrefs/Sharing and allow your printer to be shared. I don't think so. The way I figure any of this stuff out is to just look at stuff and think and try things and see what happens.
Your Verizon setup should be something like this.... a cable comes into your house and goes to a 'modem'. From there and ethernet cable (CAT-5 cable) goes from that modem to your Verizon router (WiFi radio transceiver).
As for getting rid of the Verizon router, when you are ready to give it a go, simply unplug the ethernet cable (it has a plug on the end that looks like the kind of plug that telephones use to plug into the wall, except it is a bit wider, but still has that same kind of snap-lock tab) that comes from the Verizon modem (the modem has the heavy round cable and probably many blinking lights) and plug it into the Extreme. Mine has an icon on the Extreme that is many dots in a circular pattern.
At this point you may have to unplug the Verizon modem form the wall AC power and the Extreme also. Then plug them back in, wait a minute, go to your Airport icon on your Mac menubar, Select Extreme and start surfing the web.
It really is that simple with a Mac. Maybe Verizon has found a way to make things difficult but my guess is no. Any password should be taken care of in your Airport Setup Utility program. It should be the same password(s) as you used before when you used your Extreme.

Airport extreme and Canon Pixma IP5000 printing wireless

Has anybody been succesfull in using a Canon Pixma IP5000 to print wirelessly with Aiport extreme (n)? From what I read, my printer is too old? can some one confirm?
Thanks

I have the set up you mention and I can print wirelessly.
Before you try anything else, reset the printer in preferences. (Right click the printer and select reset printing system.)
Make sure you have the latest driver installed from Canon 4.8.3 (comes with Leopard normally) before hand.
Then turn off your airport. Turn on the printer. Then turn on the airport Extreme n.
Once up and running click add printer.
Your printer should appear in the window as a Bonjour type.
It will search for the latest driver (which you'll have downloaded if necessary).
Then it should be installed.

Printing wirelessly with Airport Extreme

Hi, I have an Airport Extreme (not newest model) that I used to use with a PC and I could print wirelessly. Although one day it just stopped and I was never able to fix it. I've since given up on PC's and bought a new MacBook Pro (yea!). Unfortunately, I'm still having problems printing wirelessly. Its prints fine when connected. Can someone tell me how to first see if the laptop can "see" the the printer over the network and secondly how to fix it so that I can print wirelessly? Thanks.
Printer is: HP Photosmart 8150 and I'm using the latest drivers.

The setup manual for the AirPort Extreme suggests.....
Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme and make sure that everything is powered up
On your Mac...
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Print & Fax
Click the small + button at the bottom of the printer list to add the new AirPort Extreme location
Hopefully, your printer will appear in the next window. If not, it may not likely be supported.
If yes, click the name of the printer to highlight it
Click Add at the lower right
Try to print.
Remember to choose the correct printer location in the print dialog box as you now have the printer installed in two different locations....one at your Mac and the other at the AirPort Extreme.

I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to allow wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to enable wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

I’ve used several wireless printers with a 4510 and 5510 Jetpack and they all print just fine. The MHS890L does not support WPS. The WPS Wikipedia article briefly addresses the reason why you should not use WPS. If you’re having trouble setting up your printer the manufacturer has a toll free support line to help you. Your Jetpack has the Wi-Fi Password on the bottom, under the battery, and or in the LED display.

Would a Tamron 18-270 mm lens work with a Canon T51

This forum has been a blessing to me, and I am asking YET another question.
I just purchased a Canon T5i and two lenses, 18-135mm and 55-250mm, thanks to the direction of this wonderful forum.
I am also looking for a lens that would work as an "all-in-one" lens for my travel photography, as changing lenses is not something I like to do on my travels.
Has anyone had any experience using theTamrom 18-270mm with the Canon T5i? Is it compatible with this camera? I read some great reviews about the lens, but do need some information.
Thank you so much!!!!

Yes it will "fit" your T5i. Now will it work?
You already know my answer. I don't like off-brand lenses and this Tammy is no exception to that statement.
You might consider one review:
Slow and occasionally indecisive autofocus
Geometric distortion across much of the zoom range
Significant chromatic aberration at wideangle and telephoto (especially 270mm)
Macro performance rather compromised (very soft at F6.3, focus shifts on stopping down)
Uneven zoom action, zoom creep when not locked
Slightly sub-par build quality
What you already have is better than most of the off-brand lenses out there. That first concern on the list should turn you off on this Tamron.
EOS 1Ds Mk III, EOS 1D Mk IV EF 50mm f1.2 L, EF 24-70mm f2.8 L,
EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II, Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 EX APO
Photoshop CS6, ACR 8.7, Lightroom 5.7

Borderless printing with iPhoto/Canon iP8600?

Does anyone know if it is possible to print borderless photos with iPhoto? I have a new Canon iP8600 that features borderless printing, but I've not been able to get it to work with iPhoto. The paper options for borderless printing are there, but the borderless popup dialog brings up a single greyed out option.
Any ideas from someone who has this printer (or the 8500)?

The post must have expired. Here's a step by step process that works fine with my Canon i850 and Epson R200. It's pretty generic.
<blockquote?<i>Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
1 - crop the photo to 4 x 6 beforehand in iPhoto.
2 - in Page Setup select your printer, proper page orientation and paper size as 4x6 or 4x6 borderless
3 - click once on the picture you want to print to make sure it's selected.
4 - now click on the Print button in iPhoto.
5 - in the iPhoto print window, select your printer again, select Style = "Standard Prints", Size= 4x6 and click on One photo per page.
6 - click on the Print button.</block
