Macbook Air: connecting Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer

I purchased my Macbook Air a few months ago, and I selected theCanon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to go along with it. I have tried to install the printer a few times in various ways. Initially, I used my Macbook Air superdrive to attempt to load my new printer with the included disk. However, installation requires that the printer be connected to the Macbook via USB. Since the superdrive was occupying my only USB, I tried to connect my printer wirelessly with another computer. The laptop I used was not a Mac, and I simply could not get his computer to recognize the disk for my Macbook. So I tried something else; I borrowed my school libraries USB splitter in a last attempt to connect them both to my Macbook Air at the same time. However the superdrive does not react when not directly connected to the computer...
In short, I cannot find a way to connect my Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to my Macbook Air.
Help?

Connect the SuperDrive to the computer, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create an image of the installation disk, disconnect the SuperDrive, plug in the printer, and install the software from the image.

Canon PIxma all-in-ones?

I have a friend who's just upgrading to a new iMac G5, and she has an older HP all-in-one unit. (Yes, I have told her and told her and told her about 1. all-in-ones and 2. HP, and she's had nothing but trouble, but…). Anyway, I figure the odds are overwhelming that she's not going to get the thing to work right with the new computer (it never did with the old one, so why should it now?), and she's dead set on an all-in-one. I was looking at the Canon Pixma 450 and 500 models. Anybody have any input on those, or on another good option for her?
iSight iMac 2.1, flat panel imac 700, ibook G4 1G, Performa 6116CD Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I purchased the MP-500. It is very good. I have had no troubles. Very Mac friendly and even the additional software loaded is Mac friendly. I am up to date in Tiger and everything went fine.

Canon MG2200 All-In One won't scan?

This is really frustrating me.
Originally, i had purchased a PIXMA MG2100 All-In One printer and it worked fine. One day, however, the scanner stops working. Next the printer won't connect at all, and after some e-mails with customer support they send me a PIXMA MG2200 to replace the other, which had some problem needing factory repair.
After uninstalling and re-installing the new one, everything seems fine until i see that the scanner still won't work. I've tried it on my desktop and laptop, but it gives me the same error that says it's warming up, stops, then there's a connection problem, the scanner might be off or busy, USB connection error, please turn off and try again and scanner will shut off...yadda yadda yadda.
I've tried re-intsalling the drivers, checking for error codes on the printer screen, buying a new USB cable, changing the nearly-empty ink cartriges to new ones -- nothing works. I'm tempted to just throw the thing away and getting a different brand. I really need the scanner for what i do.
Does anyone have any solutions to make the stupid thing work? I don't understand why it won't. My last hope is buying another USB because the first one i used ended up being bust. The second one worked but only for the printer. It's not old, i got it with the printer last time, but it failed to solve the connection problem.
I use Windows 7 x64 btw. Windows XP on the desktop.

I GOT IT TO WORK.
I don't know if this will work for you adriftwaterbaby, but i bought a new cord and made it autoscan while it was doing that operation stuff right after turning it on.
I tried it with the old cord, and if i scan while it's doing its business, it works.
This is really stupid, and i'm afraid i'm going to have to change brands next time i buy a printer.

Canon MP510 All in one printer and Snow Leopard problem...

Hiya,
After looking at almost all the chat out there nothing has worked.
I have deleted the MP510 printer from my system prefs and ever since then I get the message "Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. 155.0.0". I cannot add the printer back into the list as it simply does not exist. Even with a new USB cable!
I have installed all the latest Canon software and upgrades: Easy-PhotoPrint EX_321; MP Navigator 304; PrinterDriverMP510102600 & ScanGear MP510 12131 to no avail, even after multiple restarts.
Can anyone help this newbie connect to the Canon printer please?

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you select to add the printer, if it does not appear in the Default view of the Add Printer browser then there could be a problem with the MP510, especially since you have already tried a new USB cable.
Some additional things that you can try
- turning the MP510 off for several seconds and then back on again
- trying a different USB port on the Mac
- resetting the printing system (described below) and trying to add the MP510 again
- with the MP510 connected to the USB port, opening System Profiler and checking the Hardware > USB section
If none of the above helps then please reply...
Pahu
*How to Reset the Printing System*
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac
This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your printer queues again.

I have a canon pixma mx360 all in one printer and it won't print

I cleared the que and it still won't print. can you please help me figure this out? my printer is a pixma canon mx360 all in one
ink jet.

Hi wendasa,
If you have any antivirus or firewall programs on your computer, please temporarily disable them and then try to scan again. Sometimes these programs can block the scanning process of the printer. If you are still unable to scan, we can try scanning using the Microsoft Paint program to see if the scanner function of the printer is working. To attempt to scan using Microsoft Paint, please follow these steps:
1. Launch Windows Paint by pressing the Windows Key+ R, then typing mspaint, then clicking OK.
2. Once inside of Paint, in the upper left corner you will see a blue square; please click on that and select FROM SCANNER OR CAMERA. A window will appear asking you what device you want to use. Please select the PIXMA MX360, then press the OK button.
3. In the next window, you should have the option of selecting a document type; please select one, then press the SCAN button in the window.
Are you able to scan using Microsoft Paint?
If this is a time-sensitive matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

All-in-one printer?

does anyone have any suggestions for an all-in-one laser printer/fax/scanner? my wife's setting up a home office with the new iMac, and we're looking to get an all-in-one to go with it. so far i've been seeing bad reviews for HP's machines, and canon not offering support for macs.
any suggestions?

I just logged onto my account at Consumer Reports (Private organization that runs independent tests on all kinds of products) and the top rated multi function printer that suites all of your needs is the Canon Pixma All in One MP780 http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelTechSpecsAct&fcategoryid=12 3&modelid=10444
This unit is rated excellent in the areas of text quality and photo quality. Also it is excellent overall.
Canon DOES Have Mac OS X Intel drivers for download! On the Canon USA website go under Downloads and you can navigate to a list of drivers, of which include a universal one for Intel and Power PC Macs.
Canon is actually one of the first companies to release drivers, I am suprised after seeing that!
PS - I owned an Epson All-in-One and I dont reccomend getting one of those, after a couple of months the quality goes down, and universal drivers arent out yet.
Hope this helps you..

All in One printer issue with Windows 8.1 update

Hi all,
Hoping someone out there may be able to help with the following.
I have a Canon MG8250 all in one printer/scanner. All was fine on Windows 8, but then upgraded to 8.1 a couple of weeks ago. Just got round to using the printer and scanner and the printer wouldn't work (scanner was fine). Uninstalled MP drivers and reinstalled from Canon site and all seemed fine with the printing. Alas the scanner now would not work. Did the same, uninstalled MP Navigator Ex and reinstalled from Canon site, but no fix this time. PC says "Cannot start MP Navigator Ex" and printer says "Set PC to start scanning".
Anybody know how to fix?
Thanks,
Peter

OS X 10.6.7 Canon All-in-One 480 Printer will not print files, only blank pages. Have to go to Utilities, Disk Utility and Repair permissions for a temporary fix. How can I get a permanent fix?

After upgrading to OS X 10.6.7., my Canon All-in One MP 480 printer will not print. it says it is printing, but the sheet of paper just runs through the printer and comes out blank. I finally went online to just answers.com and got a fix involving the System preferences, printer and fax. i was told to go to Applications in the HD, thenUtilities, then Disk Utilities, highlight the HD and check on Verify Disk. If it says Disk is OK, click on Repair Permissions. At first, that worked, but the next time I went to print after turning the printer off, it refused to print and just ran the sheet of paper through blank. Once that happens, there is no way to go back to printing the file that failed. I fiinally had to copy and paste the info from the file that would not print and put it in an email to myself and then print that. This is very frustrating, and I would really like a final solution for the problem.

There's a lot there, so I'll start with the parts I can answer quickly.
The "ACL found but not expected..." messages can be safely ignored, so says this article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925
(look below all the "SUID" examples)
I had changed my Desktop image earlier but when the "Installing 1 item" window came up it changed back to the back ground that you first see on your desktop after installation.
Leopard installs updates a bit differently. If it's simply an application that does not change system files, it installs them like before, without having to restart. If the update is to the system, then you must immediately "restart," It then goes to that stars and purple screen to perform the installation. Before, it would do the installation while you still had control of the Mac and would prompt you to restart when it finished the installation. This change probably make things more secure and reliable, because you aren't allowed to do other things on the Mac while system updates are being installed.
Please post back with the remaining point of concern.

I recently purchased a Mac mini with the Yosemite operating system, but I cannot find a driver that works for a canon MP 450 all in one printer.

I need a driver for a Canon MP 450 all in one printer to be used with a Mac mini with the Yosemite operating system.
Canon does not have a driver. Third party providers drivers do not work with "Yosemite."
Any suggestions?

Canon does seem to have a driver.... http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp450#DriversAndSoftware

Canon all-in-one printer can't print? Please, help

Hello.
I recently bought a Canon Pixma MG3550 all-in-one printer. I didn't get a USB cable in the package so i decided to connect it wirelessly. I tried everything but it just couldn't connect. So, I went to the store and bought a USB cable for printer. I connected my printer with this USB cable and installed drivers from the CD that came with printer. Everything went fine but when it came to the part where I can print test page I clicked 'Execute' and nothing happened. I gave up that and clicked next. When I tried to print a picture it says: 'Windows photo viewer encountered a problem printing your picture. Trying reinstalling your printer, and then try again.' When I tried printing a PDF document nothing happened.
So, my computer (Windows 7, 32 bit) recognizes this printer in Devices and Printers and it's set to deafult printer, but when i click 'Printing Preferences' it says 'Operation could not be completed' and when I click printer properites, it says: 'The Canon MG3500 series printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properites will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?'. If I click Yes, the Add printer driver wizard shows up, but when i go through it and finish it it's still the same. Also, if I click 'Print test page', it says: 'Test page failed to print. Would you like to view the print troubleshooter for assistance? Access is denied.'
Then, if I go to troubleshooter it says that everything is fine. When I go to Canon Quick Menu and click 'Start my printer' it says 'the supported printer cannot be detected' but when I go to 'Diagnose and Repair Printer' it says that everything is okay.
I don't know what to do. I tried reinstalling driver thousands of times, I downloaded drivers from this site and everything, but it's all the same. Also, every time I turn on my printer on button I hear some weird noises two times about 5-10 seconds altogether. I don't know if this is related somehow, but I don't think that my device is broken because it can connect to pc and scanning works perfectly, but printing and copying doesn't.
Please help me, I'm desperate. I'm trying so hard but everything is the same and I'm so tired of this.
Thank you.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope this helps.

Firefox crashes when attempting to print to a Canon ImageClass D680 all-in-one unit.

I can print just fine to the Canon ImageClass D680 all-in-one unit from an Internet Explorer browser. Firefox crashes every time. The printer is connected to a Dell Optiplex 755 SFF via USB A-B std printer cable, on a WXP O.S. Using the latest release of Firefox, downloaded on 6/23, but hasn't worked in 3 or 4 months. There were NO add-ons when tested on 6/23.

Guigs2, thanks for the response. Yes, I can save the content of the webpage, then copy to another program for printing, but the drill within FF was much easier & direct (of course). Do you expect a fix for the identified bug, or is this the end of the road? If/when there should ever be a fix, how will I know of it? Thanks again.

Are there any Canon all-in-one printers compatible with Yosemite v.10.10 and Windows 7?

My current Canon Pixma MX850 printer just died. I'm looking for an All-in-One, preferably Canon, printer that is compatible with Yosemite version 10.10 and Windows 7. I have spent this weekend researching with no matches. They all cover v.10.9 but nothing higher. I'm desperate for a replacement for our business. I was just about to order the Canon Pixma MX922 when I caught the specs.
I'm needing the following functions:
ADF with 2 sided ADF scanning/printing
Ethernet
Wi-Fi certificate
Wireless
Auto 2 sided printing
AirPrint and (google) iCloud print would be an add-on but not necessary.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The MX922 (known as the MX926 in Australia) is supported by 10.10 and Windows 7. Whatever site you were looking at may not have updated their details. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site showing the drivers and applications for this model for 10.10.

How do I uninstall my Canon all-in-one printer software?

How do I uninstall my Canon all-in-one printer software? I followed the online HELP instructions of moving the apps to TRASH. But I still had lots of files, and one app, that I could not get rid of.

Huh! How simple can it be?
Thank you, very much. I still have a few Canon files and one app remaining. I'll send them to the trash. But, the really annoying scanner icon on the bar at the top of the screen is gone.
Thanks, again.
Dave
