New Canon Pixma ip4600 won't show on my Airport Express printer list

Hi,
I've just had to replace my old Pixma ip4000 printer with a new ip4600 printer. The printer has set-up on my iMac and Macbook but it does not show in Airport Utility in the printers section. I've tried unplugging the printer from the USB and unplugging the AE but whichever combination I try it does no good. All ok on the usb direct to the computer.
I've followed many of the support articles to no avail. Can somebody help please? Until the printer shows on the AE I'm unable to print wirelessly.
Regards,
Colin Ashworth

Hi Colin,
As you have said in your post, until you can get the Express to recognise the iP4600 as being connected via USB, you will not be able to add the printer. And note that you cannot use the More Printers > Canon IJ Network facility - this is for Canon's that are connected via Ethernet or wireless to the network.
Are you using the same USB cable to connect the iP4600 to the Express as you are for connecting directly to the Mac's USB? If not, then try another USB cable.
If you are using the same cable, then has the Express got a reset button? I know the Extreme's do and I'm thinking that possibly the Express is still expecting the iP4000 on the USB. If there is no button then you could a factory reset via the Airport utility. You could also check if there are any updates for the Express.

  • My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printer can no longer find my wireless network. My MAC is, Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and Canon LAN printer setup routine many time. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printercan no longer find my wireless network. (It worked fine until recently) I have a Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and the Canon LAN printer setup routine many times. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.

  • Print Problems on new Canon Pixma 100 Pro

    I have a new canon pixma 100 pro pinter and want to print the best possible prints. Can someone point me to a detailed description of how to print in Aperture including the use of icc profiles (the difference between using icc profiles and printer managed printing, how to turn off color management in a printer driver.  Also difference between Relative Colorimetric vs Perceptual settings in the print window.  What is black point compensation and what does it do?

    You are asking for print management 101, you really should get a book like Jeff Schewe's or a video:

    Temporarily connecting your AirPort Express to one of the Time Capsule's Etherent LAN <-> ports...as LaPastenagure suggests....is always a good way to setup and configure other network devices.
    If you want to configure the Express using wireless, remember that the Express broadcasts a default wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx. You must log on to this network first....no password is required....then open AirPort Utility to "see" the AirPort Express.

  • My Windows 7 Dell won't connect to my Airport Express

    My Windows 7 Dell won't connect to my Airport Express.  The computer sees my network on the airport. I am able to enter the network name and password. However the computer won't connect. What do I need to do?

  • Photoshop CS4 won't print on a new Canon Pixma Pro 10 - Mac Yosemite -

    New Epson Pixma Pro 10. Printer works well with other applications, but just sends out blank pages when printing from Adobe Photoshop CS4. Canon suggested I use their plug, Print Studio Pro, and this worked with a file with layered images and text. However, it would not work with a file that had 3 text layers (two of which were hidden) unless I flattened the image. According to Canon, the plug in is supposed to work only with jpegs, but it did work with psd and tifs (when flattened). Any ideas on how I can get it to work directly from Photoshop.

    Thanks for your help - I did find and download the Photoshop update to 11.0.2 and went to the Yosemite developer page you mentioned and do not see how to download the update, so I guess I will just have to wait for that to be released.
    That's fine, you should do OK with Yosemite 10.10.1.
    I'm glad you found the CS4 11.0.2 update.  I nearly hit the roof when I read another post of yours with the "suite auto updates" nonsense after I had explained to you why one cannot rely on Adobes utterly useless auto updaters.
    The hapless Adobe auto updater team in India began to get their act together only as of the CS6 updates, but they are back to their unparalleled incompetence in CC and CC2014.
    In case you missed it, here's the link to the latest Canon Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X from Apple, available to the general public, which sounds a lot newer than what you have.  There's no reason for you to stick to "Print Studio 1.3.6" whatever that may be.

    Let me know if you make any progress with your issue.

  • Canon Pixma MX700 won't scan

    Last week my scanner on the Canon Pixma MX700 worked perfectly, easily.  Today it won't work at all.  I've got the new update for printers and scanners, no go. I've tried deleting printer and MP Navigator and finding software to reinstall from the Canon site.  I've even followed instructions on a uTube video that suggests identifying Lion 10.7 as the software I'm using that included deleting and reinstalling the software and scanner/printer drivers.  Nothing works.
    Anyone got a fix for this.  I use my scanner often (both for work and for home).
    BTW my OS X is Version 10.9.1 (Mavericks)
    Cat

    rkaufmann87, thanks for the suggesstion.  Went throught the process but no luck.
    The printer is connected via USB.  I have checked the connections (and the cabling to see if there is a break of some kind) but they are all good both ends.  The printer works perfectly.  The problem is the scanner (thus I thought it was the drivers) MP Navigator looks for the scanner, cannot find it and give the error message says it cannot communicate with the scanner. 

  • Print on canon pixma iP4600

    Hello.
    I have the new OX X Yosemite system and Canon Pixma iP 4600 printer. Since I got the Yosemite system I can't print anymore.
    What could be the problem?
    Jóhann

    Apple has the latest driver for the iP4600, so removing the printer and adding it again should trigger an update to obtain the latest driver. If not, then as John has suggested removing the printer folder will help. However as you have a Canon rather than an Epson then the folder for your printer is located in /Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters. If you trash the contents of this folder (make sure you remove the iP4600 from Printers & Scanners first) and then restart your Mac, when you log back in and try to add the iP4600 via Printers & Scanners, you should get a prompt stating that the driver is available from Apple and do you want to download and install. Agree to this and before long you should be printing again.

  • My new Canon Pixma MG7520 isn't listed in printer preferences.

    Just purchased a Canon Pixma MG7520 wireless Print-Copy-Scan  After spending all morning on the phone with Canon support, numerous tries and reboots of printer, router, airport and iMac, the Canon printer still does not show up when I try to add a printer in print prefs.  The router and printer are talking to each other, and the printer recognizes our airport network. I've already lost 3/4 of a day trying to figure out what to do next.  Anyone else have this issue?

    Plug the printer directly into the computer to make sure it is working. (Should have USB to allow direct connection).
    If it works go through the setup again via wireless to the airport. What IP does it get?
    Please ping the printer IP from the computer.. it will often fail if the name used in the airport is typical apple name.
    Please use all SMB names.. that means.. Short.. <8 characters please.. no spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    Passwords can be the same rules but >8 characters.
    If you still have trouble test briefly with no password at all.. if you still have issues the Canon printer might be having wireless issues.

  • New external hard drive won't show up in disk utilities...

    I have a 2010 macbook pro 13" and just bought a 1tb toshiba canvio external hard drive.
    The hard drive itself has a USB 3.0 hub running out of it and the specifications say that it needs to run into at least a 2.0 hub, which I have.
    I know I will need to reformat the external drive to get it to work on a mac, but it won't show up at all when I plug it in... the drive starts spinning but there is no recognition by my mac.
    Does anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

    So far all MacBook users have been able to use this drive as a USB 2.0 by using a USB 2.0 cable with a micro usb connector (same as smartphones, Kindle, Nook) on one end. Connect the micro connector to the opening on the left side of the USB 3.0 connector on the Canvio - if you look closely you'll see that side is exactly like the USB 2.0 micro receptacle. That's all you need to connect as a USB 2.0 - the other connections are for USB 3.0 which no Apple system has yet (Dec 2011).  Connect the other end (a standard USB type A plug) to your MacBook and it will work. If you want to use it for Time Machine, you'll have to reformat it. None of the supplied software will work with Mac  You can read more at this thread:

  • My Macbook Pro will not find or use the downloaded driver for my new Canon Pixma MX479 wireless printer

    I have been fussing for hours with a Canon Pixma MX479 printer I received as a gift. The printer was obviously designed for PC control, and has terrible instructions for setting up the wireless capability, but I finally found a few hints online about how to add a WPS printer to my Airport Extreme, so I can finally detect the printer. However, when I try to add the printer, either under System Preferences or while just doing a print, my MacBook requires that I download a driver from Apple to use it. When I attempt to do that, I get a message the driver software is unavailable from Apple and that I should contact the manufacturer for the driver. I have already downloaded and installed the Mac OS driver from Canon twice, but my MacBook apparently can't find it. So I am forced to use Airprint in order to communicate with the printer. I would like to use the proper software to make sure I am accessing all of the features the printer offers. Can anyone tell me how to associate the downloaded driver with my printer when I am attempting to add it?
