MacBook Air cannot print on Canon MF8450

We bought a Canon MF8550 for a printer in a small local network which contains a new MacBook Pro and a new MacBook Air. Boths Macs run under OS X 10.6.7. Installing the printer on the Pro worked perfectly fine. We could use every feature and have no problems at all. So we installed the printer in the same manner on the MacBook Air: The installation ran without any problems. I used the Line Printer Daemon with the correct IP adress. For the driver I chosed the MF8400 series and everything during the installation worked fine.
After that I tried to print but the job is stopped immediately and remains in the local printer queue. The printer is set to pause and does nothing at all.
Accessing the printer by its IP adress can be done successfully. So I see it in the network and can get access to it by the user interface of Canon. So I checked the printer queue on the Canon directly but I could not see my job and the printer status is displaying no problems.
What I did so far:
I uninstalled the whole printer driver (according to the manual of Canon so I deleted
+ jp.co.canon.UFR2.BG.plist
+ the whole Canon folder and
+ CNTDMF8400ZDE.ppd.gz
After uninstalling I emptied the trash and restarted the Mac..
I installed the actual 2.24 version of the Canon URF printer driver from the Canon site which is of mid of April and nothing changed at all - the perfectly same behavior.
With that I checked possible hardware issues especially the obvious single difference to the MacBook Pro environment:
For all tests above I used the printer with the USB ethernet adapter. So to check if here is the origin I installed the printer using Airport - but with the same result - the printer is set to pause by the URFII
When the printer is connected directly to the MacBook AIr by USB it works without any problems.
The support of Canon cannot reproduce this problem so they blame the OS.
Does anybody have an idea
thx

To all who'll face the same problem:
Sometimes it is easier than one can imagine:
With a right mouse click on the printer dialog box one can reset the whole printer system. After that I reinstalled the printer and...
it works!!
Thx to all who had a view.

Problem - new MacBook Air cannot see external HD

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help, as I have seen similar questions in the forums, but not with an answer that helps me solve my problem.
Ok, I have a new MacBook Air running Lion (bought last year), a MacBook Pro running Leopard which is approx 4 years old and a Windows Laptop. I use the MacBook Air for Work and when travelling (weekly with work), the MacBook Pro for home and managing my other apple devices (iPad/iPhone etc..). I no longer use the PC, but there are loads of files both work and home, I wish to keep on an external HD for use with both Apple Laptops.
So, the external HD used to work with the MacBook Air when I first bought it (a couple of weeks ago) and formatted it with the MacBook Air, but it couldn't be seen or used with the Windows PC. When I formatted it with the Windows PC, I could use it with the MacBook Air but could not write to the disk.
So I have now partitioned and formatted it with the MacBook Pro running Lion, but now the MacBook Air cannot even see the disk in Disk Utility.
My MacBook Air otherwise runs absolutely fine with no problems, and the MacBook Air is a critical piece of kit that I use on a daily basis to do my job. As such, I have no appetite for deleting any drivers etc... from the MacBook Air as it could originally see the disk and I do not want to make a mistake and cause myself problems.
So the question is, how on earth do I get the MacBook Air to see the drive again in Disk Utility? So I can do the partitioning and formatting there, this drive is of no use if can only be seen by the MacBook Pro. The drive is a portable USB powered Toshiba 1TB disk Part Number: HDTB110EK3BA.
Am going to wait for some suggestions, my next thought is to erase everything using the windows PC assuming it can see it, and then see if the Mac Book Air laptop can see it in Disk Utility... no other options left really.
I hope someone can help, otherwise I may be off to buy a new disk and could hit the same problems again!
Thanks
Alex.

Toshiba Acknowledges MacBook Woes in Canvio USB 3.0 Hard Drives
By Christopher Price on December 27, 2011
Following tests conducted by PhoneNews.com, Toshiba has acknowledged an issue affecting their Canvio USB 3.0 hard drives. The issue prevents current-generation MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models from properly connecting and powering up the drives.
Read more to see our findings, and the resulting (ongoing) investigation by Toshiba.
We began our tests based on tips from readers like you, and went out and purchased five (yes, five) Canvio USB 3.0 drives, along with a brand new 2011 MacBook Air.
Drive problems happened immediately, and were relatively isolated to the MacBook Air. Of all the systems we tested on, we were only able to reproduce issues on a Sony VAIO laptop late in our testing, as well as a current-gen MacBook Pro.
Essentially, the drives failed to mount, and in most tests never even spun up on these systems.
The Canvio USB 3.0 hard drives have sat under many people’s Christmas trees, as they were hot sellers during Black Friday. Retailers like Office Depot slashed prices on the slim, 2.5-inch drives down to $79 for a 1TB hard drive. With coupons, Radio Shack was selling the 500GB model for a mere $39.
Canvio USB 3.0 drives tout on the box compatibility with USB 2.0 systems, including both Mac and PC. The advantage of a Canvio USB 3.0 hard drive for a MacBook owner lies in Thunderbolt. Purchasing such a drive today can achieve USB 3.0 speeds with upcoming Thunderbolt-to-USB 3.0 adapters. USB 3.0 mass storage was designed to be fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0.
To get to the bottom of the problem, we probed the five Canvio drives purchased, in an effort to better understand the issue. And, we were able to isolate the problem; the Canvio USB 3.0 drives draw more power than the USB standard permits. The drives were drawing, upon connection, slightly more than the five watts that the spec allows. And, the new MacBooks appear to promptly shut the device down because of this.
Why? Well, Apple can assert that this is to protect the MacBook Air/Pro from a malfunctioning USB device. However, the answer really lies in tablets. Apple allows iPad and MacBook to perform a hardware handshake, which then allows Apple devices to draw 10 watts from the USB port. This is why you can charge an iPad directly on a Mac, but not on a PC.
Apple does not want to allow rival tablet manufacturers (Android) to have the same access to Apple’s USB port. Hence, any device (like a tablet) that wants to draw even slightly more than five watts, is shut off from communicating with the Mac. We affirmed this by testing a powered USB hub. With a powered hub connected to the hard drive, and the hub connected to the MacBook, the drive instantly came to life, and worked without issue.
This creates a bit of an odd situation; Toshiba is technically in the wrong for making drives that technically breach USB specifications… but Apple seems to be the only manufacturer to enforce this aspect (as well as breach it with their own devices).
Toshiba, to its credit, has owned up to our issue, right down to our suggestion to them that a powered hub works around the issue. Quoting an official statement in response to our research:
Toshiba DPD has identified an isolated USB connectivity issue between the Canvio USB 3.0 drive and currently shipping MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops. The issue involves the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air being unable to recognize the Canvio USB 3.0 drive when connected directly to the laptop USB 2.0 port. Toshiba is actively working to remedy this USB connectivity issue. In the interim, Toshiba recommends MacBook Pro and MacBook Air users employ a powered USB hub to connect their Canvio USB 3.0 drives.
We have asked Toshiba if they intend to inform retailers to accept returns for affected drives, or if they will offer some form of refund program in the interim. Retailers such as Office Depot do not permit refunds on opened technology items, including Canvio drives. Toshiba has said are looking into that aspect of this problem, and will get back to us shortly.
In all, we spent a few hundred on hard drives, and confirmed the issue. Unfortunately, because it is a power drain concern, Toshiba will likely have to offer an exchange program to fix it. We seriously doubt that this can be fixed at the firmware level. Theoretically, it’s possible a USB cable replacement might be able to mitigate this issue however, so there is hope that Toshiba won’t have to recall a bazillion hard drives.
Update: As a follow-up, Toshiba has informed us that they have completed their investigation, and will replace affected drives.

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server

My macbook air cannot sync with my office microsoft exchange 2010 mail server.
It used to work perfectly, and then I lost connection and was never able to establish one. I re-istalled my e-mail account several times, no success.

I am sure all of you got your email issues sorted out by now but i was having trouble settings up exchange email on my Iphone 5S, and the problem i found was to go to settings, icloud, then log into icloud with your apple id first (before setting up the exchange email). Once i logged into my icloud account on my Phone 5S, the exchange server email starting working and synching right away.
to confirm this worked, i even deleted my email account and deleted my Icloud accounts both from my iphone was able to simulated the same exact problem (exchange server would not sync with my Iphone 5S) until i logged back into my Icloud account on my 5S.
Again once i logged into Icloud, the exchange server issues went completely away.
Just wanted to post this so anyone else having the issue could see.

Do other computers read it? Have you tried both ports? Have you looked inside the plug of the drive to see if there is any lint or other foreign matter?

HT204135 I have a MacBook Air and bought a Canon MP495 printer scanner with WiFI. Since the Mac gas no disk drive and had to down load the printer, scanner drivers and a navigation and network software from Canon's website. How do I get the software to wo

I have down loaded printer,scanner drivers and 2 applications Navigator and Network from Canon's website. I cannot seem to get these to run althought the printer works when connected to the Mac with a LAN cable Canon's documentation is useless because it relies on downloading a disc which you cannot do without a CD drive that MacBook Air does not have. Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks

MacBook Air can not find canon f8500 series printer on network.

MacBook Air running OS X Yosemite can not find Canon MF8500 series printer on wireless network. AirPrint is turned on at printer. iPhone iOS 8.2 can not AirPrint to printer as well. Recently switched from Verizon to Comcast for internet service, no issues before switch. Tried to add printer via IP address, it was located but could not print to printer.

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system also Yosemite
Try setting it up as something other than AirPrint. I have seen several posts where that was the problem.

Trying to connect new MacBook Air to printer (Canon MF4570dn)attached to my PC

I have a new MacBook Air and I am trying to set it up to print to a Canon MF4570dn hooked up via USB to my PC. I have file and printer sharing turned on. The MacBook can see the workgroup --> computer --> printer name. I have tried using Canon's print drivers and generic PCL to no avail. With the former, I get "filter' failed and with the latter, everything seems to work when I look in the printer status (shows that it is waiting to print and then just disappears (as if it has finished printing) - but no printout.
Network is avilable.

Cannot print to Canon iR3380i after Mavericks update

We have a small office network. All machines print to our Canon iR3380i copier. The iR3380i has a static IP address in our internal network. All machines currently use OS X Lion.
I updated my machine (2011 MacBook Air 13") to OS X Mavericks last night and can no longer print. Here are the error messages and steps I've taken:
1) First I got "Error 16801"
To solve this I visited the Canon site to download the latest UFRII driver (v10.2.0) for the iR3380i
I removed the current printer, updated my driver with the new UFRII driver
I re-added the printer
2) Next I got "The printed output may be incorrect because the printer information has not been acquired. Start Printer Utility to get the printer information."
The only option at this point is to hit "OK".
3) Next dialog box says "Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information."
Again, the only option I got was to hit "OK".
The printer icon appears in the Dock with a PAUSE symbol and the 1 Job Pending alert.
Opening the Printer Queue box shows one job in the queue.
Hitting "Resume" generates the dialog box "Cannot communicate..." again.
And that's it. I cannot figure out what else to do. Help please!

I think your issue is that even though you have the latest 10.2.0 driver for 10.9, you added the printer using the previous v2.43 PPD. So open Print & Scan, remove the current printer for the iRC3380 and click the plus button to add again. After selecting IP > LPD and entering the IP address, ensure you select "Canon iR C2880/C3380" in the Use menu. Note that there is no mention of UFRII in the model name, as is the case with the previous UFR2 v2.43 driver.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did that this morning (see Step 1) and deleted the existing printer before re-adding a new printer and using the newly updated driver and printer description. Here's what I get:
You can see my model number is listed in there as is the the proprietary Canon UFRII language.
Once added, here's what happens next:
So it would appear, at this point, that the printer is installed and communicating and that I should be good to print.
Alas, I get the same error message I've been getting. back to square one.

MacBook Air - Cannot connect to Ethernet Computers on WiFi Network

I just bought a new MacBook Air (11 inch) less than a week ago. Love it, its great. I am however having an issue with connecting it to computers on the same network, but only if those computers are connected to the network via ethernet (while the Air is on wifi).
I have an older MacBook (2.2Ghz running 10.7.2 also) with no issues connecting to other computers over the wifi if they are on ethernet. My old MacBook and the Air can also communicate no problem over wifi, but if I connect my old MacBook to the ethernet connection I cannot ping it from the Air.
The reason why this is important is because I am trying to hook the Air up to a buffallo linkstation to setup TimeMachine like I have it set up on my old MacBook.
I am using a Buffallo WZR2-G300N Router as my gateway and access point (I also have a D-Link switch, but I have by-passed that to troubleshoot the issue). Firmware is up to date.
The Air also has no problem connecting to the internets.
Any ideas oh Apple Support Community?? Many thanks in advance.

Try using Finder > Go > Connect to Server > smb://ipaddress. If you can connect this way, then good. I'll have more to say later. Just try to get this working for now.
Before trying to connect:
On the XP machine.
1. Right-click on a folder to share (e.g., My Documents), chose Sharing, and select both Sharing Options.
2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
See how this part goes. I can't remember where some things are in XP, but you may have to enable Network Discovery somewhere.
On the Vista machine.
1. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on the User folder, and choose the settings that give Everyone—both Read/Write permissions.
2. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Options > Turn on network discovery, Turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing , and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on).
2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
See how this part goes too. I can't remember some of the detail in Vista.
On the Sno machine,
1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
5. Restart

Cannot print to Canon MF8380Cdw

I've been trying for a couple of weeks to get my Canon MF8380Cdw to print from my workhorse MacBook Pro running Lion. I've installed the latest version of the driver, repaired permissions, uninstalled/reinstallled, etc. but I can't ever seem to get "UFR II BackGrounder" to run. I upgraded to Mountain Lion to see if it would help, but after installing the driver again, nothing changed. Even manually running /Library/Printers/Canon/UFR2/Utilities/UFR%20II%20BackGrounder.app doesn't make it appear in Activity Monitor.
My room mate's iMac and MacBook and my own MacBook Air all are printing fine. Even my work laptop PC is printing fine.
Does anybody have any suggestions for where to look next? I have a terrible feeling I'm going to have to do a clean install of MacOS, but I'd really rather avoid that if I can.

Canon Australia seems to have resolved this issue for all UFR II/UFRII LT printers . Ooof !

Cannot print to Canon MF4380dn

Hi,
We have a Canon MF4380dn (similar to MF4370dn) and we cannot print to it from a MacBook Pro that is running Lion 10.7.3
We have tried connecting via USB and via network and have installed the latest UFR II 2.30 driver from Canon.
We have completely removed the drivers and re-added them with no success.
It can see the printer when it is connected either via USB or via network and it adds the software correctly. However, whenever we try to print a test page it seems to send it to the printer and then it immediately disappears and no page prints.
Any ideas?

Here are the details for both USB and Network.
What is strange is that the files from Canon state that it's driver 2.30, but it always says driver 2.0. We have gone through and manually deleted all tracers of the driver from the Mac, confirmed they were not present, then reloaded the drivers (both US and UK versions) and it clearly is loading from the newly installed 2.30 driver package....so not clear why the version numbers don't match up. I'm guessing it's some problem in the signing of the drivers or how they are read by Lion?

HELP ME (Macbook Air + HP printer)

Im trying to connect a Macbook Air to a HP Deskjet 4480, it seems like its set up ok and it says that everything is working but when I try to print anything, the computer shows that its 'printing' but it doesn't what did I do wrong or what can I do??

First trick to try--try to print something. When the printer appears in your dock, click on that and bring up the printer window. Stop the attempted printing (erase the thing you were trying to print), go to where it you find lists printers that the computer can see and connect to. Now erase the printer--delete it. Then click on the + sign to add a printer. The computer should find the HP printer. Select it. Now that it's back, try again. See if that works.
