MacBook Pro won't detect network printer Canon MF4150

I have a multifunction printer, Canon MF4150, hooked upto a PC Desktop and I have enabled printer sharing. The printer is detected and works fine on my PC Laptop. However, when I try installing it on my 13" MacBook Pro, the **** thing won't show up. It doesn't show up under the Windows category of Print and Fax so I tried to set it up the way Apple has suggested in their support section. It asks you to go to advance and input the IP address and location of the printer and then select the printer driver. I would post the link but I conveniently can't find it right now. The printer driver is obviously not listed on the list, so I go to the Canon website and download a mac version of the driver and install it. When I check to see if it's on the list now, it says MF4360-MF4390, but not MF4150. I thought I had installed the wrong one but I downloaded and installed it again, and I got the same problem. Anyone have this printer or have a similar problem? Another way to hookup this printer would be much more convenient, is there anyway that the Window tab could detect it? Any help is appreciated!

The warranty must be close to running out. Take it ASAP to the Apple Store or AASP and have it checked.

My macbook pro won't recognize network printer

Macbook pro is late 2011 running OSX 10.7.5 - Lion, connected wirelessly to home network with airport express.
Have an HP deskjet connected with a cable to a MacMini mid 2011 - Yosemite.
macbook always has problems printing to this printer on home network. "printer not found" or "printer not connected"
Normally I turn off the printer and back on and it will print. Now I just get message "printer not connected"
I deleted the printer and tried to add it back and it will not find the printer.
Is it possible to reset the airport express? Will it benefit me? Is the issue that yosemite and lion do not get along?
I really would like to be able to print from the macbook without having to unplug printer and plug it directly to the macbook.
Frustrating to say the least!!!

I had almost the same thing happen the other day - kept getting a message that my printer was not connected. I went to the printer setup on the printer's panel and the IP address was correct, everything looked as if it should be working. So I just reset my router - figuring that would fix the problem. No go. What I finally ended up doing was resetting my router to factory settings and setting it up anew.
And that's what worked for me.

no not at all..it was just tested if it was being detected on a windows os..it did..i am doubting either it is a problem with the router or the macbook pro....but earlier it did connect well to a hp officejet pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer over a different network(at someone else's house)...

Macbook pro won't detect VGA display

My MacBook Pro (15-inch i7 Early 2011) won't detect an external display using an apple mini displayport -> VGA connector using 10.7.3.
All cables and the monitor are fine because my white macbook detects the LG monitor without any problem.
I have read and tried every 'sollution' suggested on the internet, but all fail. Since my MBPro can't even detect my Sony LCD TV (my white macbook does) i suspect it's a firmware/hardware issue.
I want to buy a thunderbolt display, but am not sure if i can spend all this money when even this simple VGA connection won't work.
Has anyone the same VGA detection problem but with a working thunderbolt display connection?

Macbook Pro won't detect internal drive.

So Last night my macbook pro fell off a desk about 2 feet high. At the time I was running Iweb on it. I thought everything was okay but after about 15 minutes it bagan acting slow. When I would click something it would take about 5 seconds for the computer to register the command. I thought maybe it was more due to being on all day. So I figured I would give it arrest. I shut my computr down and went to bed.
MIdday the next day I turn my computer on and find that it just stays on the boot screen never getting to the log in window. So I decided to do a hardware test with the disk that came with my comp. But the test never finishes. It just keeps going and going. It would almost reach the very end and stay there. SO then I decided to just reinstall with the install disk that cme with my comp too. But the install disk does not detect a drive.
I tried the "single user mode" 3 times and it tells me the drive "can not be repaired" and that it was "modified" So I then proceeded to check system profiler and under ATA it says "This computer contains no ATA devices". Under serial-ATA I see the HItachi HTSS.... under NVidia MCP89 AHCI.
Does this mean my Drive is just dead. I never backed up any of my files. I was thinking about buying an external hard drive from fingerhut since it's the only kind they have up there and they do financing. http://www.fingerhut.com/product/Electronics/Computers-Tablets/Hard-Drives-Stora ge/Western-Digitals-500GB-External-Hard-Drive/pc/25275/c/25299/sc/25844/NT324.ut s
My warranty just ranout 6 days go >_< is there anything I could do to fix my hard drive?
Also could it be a bad connection to the drive and not the drive itself. If I take it to the apple store can they figure out which one is the problem?

I can understand that financing is important if you really need to get something but can't put up the full price. That drive goes for about $99 (US). Fingerhut is selling it to you for $150 (that's a 50% markup). If you're financing a product in this range, I'd imagine you really need to look out for what you spend... keep in mind, you're tossing $50 away in doing so.

2011 Macbook Pro won't detect my USB 3 external drive

I've got a late 2011 MacBook Pro, running OSX Yosemite with all available updates installed.
I recently purchased a 1TB USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 backwards compatible) external hard drive (Seagate) to use for Time Machine backups.
Quite often when I connect the drive to my Mac it doesn't get picked up - i.e. it doesn't appear in Finder or Disk Utility. The drive does get power each time (you can hear it if you put your ear close enough), however the small light on the drive doesn't come on when the problem occurs.
If I unplug it and then plug it back in it sometimes picks it up - often I have to restart a few times for it get picked up.
Other times it connects first time without any problems at all, which is strange!
It was doing this before upgrading from OSX Mavericks to OSX Yosemite.
My USB2.0 500GB external drive connects and appears in Finder without any problems at all.
I've performed the following troubleshooting steps:
- Connected the drive to different USB ports (no change)
- Tested the drive on various Windows workstations (works fine every time)
- Tested with different USB 3.0 cables (no change)
- Formatted the drive (no change)
- Tried different USB3.0 drives (same problem occurs)
I'm not really sure what else to try. You can't seem to get just USB2.0 drives any more in the UK (not 1TB or greater).
Has anyone else had problems?

USB Ports can sometimes be funny like that. If you haven't already, these are some little things you can try:
- First things first, unplug all your usb devices. Try plugging a device that you're sure works on your MBPR over EACH of the usb ports (just to check if they're both working correctly & supplying power on the mac itself).
- Check the USB cable's A plug (the end that connects to the mac) and make sure both the contacts are clean, and that the crevass is free from dirt/lint buildup, as it can interfere with a proper connection. (This can happen if you store cables in cases or bags).
- Sometimes easing the USB plug slightly out from the computer may help mount certain devices. If it DOES mount (abruptly) after this, then see item above on making sure your cable is clean, or swap out usb cable as it may not be working properly & try again with a new cable.
- Lastly, some devices may need a firmware update to even connect, as with the cases of the Lexar USB3.0 Card Readers and some Seagate USB HD's some folks here are experiencing with their Retinas.
Here's another thread that may also be useful concerning an external Toshiba Canvio HD.
It's not much, I know, but hope this helps, if a little.

MacBook Pro won't detect Thunderbolt display after sleep

I've noticed a rather anoying bug with Mavericks (or at least this issue only started after upgrading to the latest Mavericks) When the MacBook goes to sleep and I wake it up again, it no longer recognises the Thunderbolt display and USB devices attached to it. The only way yo resolve the problem simply is to remove the thunderbolt cable and re-insert it.
Has anyone else come across this or have any views on how to resolve more permanetly.
Many thanks
Stuart.

I have the same problem and I find it very annoying. There are many threads on the Internet (such as https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5602696) but so far no solution. :-(

Macbook Pro won't print the first page of any file in any application.

Problem: My Mid-2009 Macbook Pro won’t print the first page in Microsoft Word, Sibelius 6, or in Adobe Reader. My printer is an old Canon MP480 that’s worked for almost 2 years perfectly. As well, the “print to pdf” function results in the same error. However, if I open a new user account it all works fine. To change user accounts would be an extreme hassle though so, if possible, I would like to first remedy this one.
Recent changes: the motherboard of my computer was replaced about a week and a half ago. I printed a lot of stuff from Word two days ago and that worked fine but, already then the print to pdf function was cropping off the first page. At the time, though, I accredited the issue to the word documents being filled with pictures of sheet music that I was printing instead of text.
Things I have tried:
Updated Mac software
Repaired Disc Permissions in Disk Utility
Checked for new printer drivers/firmware
Reset the PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379.)

No but it's not a printer-related issue because the "Print to PDF" function also leaves out the first page.

How to connect my mac book pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f?

I'm desperate to know how to connect my Mac book Pro to network printer Canon IR 2010f. This printer has an independent system, therefore, no need a PC to be on, in order to print. But this printer is a network printer. Help me please.

The Canon UFR2 v2.20 driver for Mac OS X does not list the iR2010F as a supported model. The same is so for the Canon PS driver so I therefore believe this model is PCL5e only.
What you should do is open Safari and type the IP address of the iR2010F. This will connect to the internal web page of the copier and from the provided pages you should be able to see what printer languages are supported.
If it only lists PCL then you will be able to print to this copier using the Generic PCL driver included with 10.6.
So if you open Print & Fax, click + to add and then select IP > LPD for the protocol you can then enter the IP address of the iR2010F and leave the queue name blank. For the name you can change that to iR1020F and for the Print Using, select Generic PCL Laser Printer.
One note with regards to this driver. It is defaulted to 300dpi so you will need to open the print dialog when you do print and change the resolution to 600dpi to get better print quality.

My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC?? Checked for software updates and are none. Talked with HP help and they say it's an Apple problem

I noticed that you said you uninstalled the printer, but you didn't mention resetting the print system. Resetting the print system will reset the drivers the Mac has installed and make them work like they should. Give this a try and see if it gets the printer working like it should. The document below will expalin more about doing this.
Basic Printer Troubleshooting Steps for Mac
If that doesn't help, see if you are using the AirPrint driver, or the printers driver. By default 10.8 uses the AirPrint driver if the printer supports it, so I'm betting that's the driver you're using. If it is, try using the driver for the printer itself. To do this, access Print and Scan. Click the + sign to add a new printer. Select the printer from the list. Click the dropdown next to Use and select the 7515's driver. Let me know what happens.

please can anbody help or advise?

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

Macbook Pro won't connect to wireless printer anymore suddenly

Suddenly my Macbook Pro won't connect to my HP Photosmart B210e Printer. I have tried adding it via IP address, it worked but I can't print anything. It says the printer is busy and idle? I updated the software and drivers. All other computers and devices in my home connect just fine. It is connected to our wireless router as is my laptop.
I have searched online and done all the solutions I could find and nothing is working. VERY frustrated as I have to log onto my Dell to print anything.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Kim

"It says the printer is busy and idle?"
System Preferences>print and Scan. What is the staus of the printer? Green light for idle or yellow light for in busy? Have you tried power down the printer and paowering it back up?

MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

My macbook pro has stopped detecting my wi fi printer. What has gone wrong?

my macbook pro has stopped detecting my wi fi printer. What has gone wrong?

Bad RAM. Reseat it and see if that clears it up. If not then that need to be replace or the actual RAM sockets have gone bad.
