New Printer will not install on my Mac

Hello,
I was hoping someone would be able to help me since I have searched the internet and haven't really found something that has helped. I used to have an old canon computer set up to my mac and it worked great until the printer died. I bought a new canon printer (MP270) and just plugging it in (like I did with the old one) did not work when trying to install it. So then I used the installation CD and my computer will still not recognize that the printer is connected to it. Anyone know what else I can try? I appreciate your help!

Thank you for the advice. My brother recommended I try this first, but I guess he was wrong.

    Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

    Appreciate your help Ian and others.   I have since uninstalled FCS and reinstalled FCXP only to get the same thing. Loading FCXP stalls at "Looking for Compressor Support".  When I first downloaded FCXP from the App store I didn't notice that FCS was being placed in it's own folder.  It's not something I did manually.  Although moved into it's own folder with FCXP on the same drive.  I was not able to open FCS apps. They would load and then "quit unexpectantly".  They opened just fine before I downloaded FCXP.  Do I need to purchase Compressor so that FCXP recognizes it? It seems this is where it stalls. It doesn't explain however why my computer "FREEZES" while doing this.  I am in the process of re-installing Lion to see if this helps, otherwise I am at a complete loss. 

  • Officejet Pro 8600 N911g new firmware will not install.

    My printer: Officejet Pro 8600 N911g
    Current Firmware: CLP1CN1416AR
    My problem: Downloaded the latest firmware update (Version CLP1CN1322CR). When I go to install it, my printer shows as listed, but in the STATUS cloumn, it is listed as "Not applicable".
    I turned my printer on/off.
    I tried updating via network, and when it checks for an update, it states there are no updates avaiable.
    I tried updating via USB.
    I tried updating via the LCD panel on the printer, and when it checks for an update, it states there are no updates avaiable.
    Is there something wrong as to why this current firmware will not install?
    Thanks for any help.

    New Firmware (CLP1CN1416R) was installed automatically (Printer was set for "Auto Update").  Prior to new firmware install,  printer has performed flawlessly...no problems.  Immediately after printer updated it's firmware automatically I began to have multiple problems. 
    First, it kept asking me to perform an "Alignment" which I dutifully performed only to have message come back that 'Alignment Failed".  Printed sheet looked fine, and printer printed fine but now before any page will print the "Alignment Recommended" message comes up which I have to then override (Click 'Do Not Align' button at bottome of 'Alignment Recommended' message box.  This is getting really OLD!!  Simply unacceptable for a business class printer!! 
    Also, the printer randomly has started giving other messages such as "There is a problem with the printer or ink system" AND "Cartridges are Missing" ("when I've just recently put in new catridges and levels are OK!!) AND "Paper Jam" (when there is no jam!!) 
    None of these problems have occurred prior to the automatic firmware update.  I believe the reason HP hasn't posted the new firmware update to their Customer Service website is that they know there are bugs in it and don't want to compound the problems the new version has already created.  I seriously question why an automatic updating of firmware was done with equipment set to "Auto Update" and yet that same new firmware is not available to those who might have had their printers set for "Manual Update". 
    HP Customer Service - You need to issue a statement from the company as to what has happened with this firmware update.  If there are problems, take responsibility for it and make it right.  HP knows who it sent out auto updates to.  These printer owners should be immediately notified and the situation made right.  It is not real assuring to have your front line staff not know why the new firmware is not on the website.  I do not like the idea of having to pay for a Support Call when the problems with my out of warranty printer are directly tied to the Auto Updating of said printer with apparently defective firmware.
    I'd really appreciate a response back from someone in HP Customer Service.

  • Deskjet 1512 Printer will not install....

    Hi
    I have a Deskjet 1512 "All in one" printer.
    I have followed the setup and installation instructions down to the last comma- and still some 6.5 hours later- I still have a new printer that does not work.
    I am running Windows XP / Service Pack 3 / Dotnet 3.5
    I ran the installation disk (provided), made a cup of tea, ticked the boxes, answered the questions.
    When prompted (and only when prompted) - connected my Printer and USB lead to the computer... that's where the issues began.
    The "Full Feature" whistles and bells software began to try  and detect my device.
    It was beaten to it by Windows Harward "Wizard" - telling me it had detected a new device....but it could not be installed "Due to a missing Module".
    About 2 seconds later - the HP "Full Feature" software spits out it's dummy and tells me to connect my printer and check the USB lead......
    So- I replaced ther USB lead with 4 different ones I have spare, as well as try all the various USB ports on my computer.
    Still the same issue.
    However-
    The Scanner had installed- and works fine.
    So I attempted a forced "Backdoor" installation of the printer drivers- via Windows Hardware Manager.
    This all looked so promising- the Drivers finally looked as if they were installing.
    At 99%, the Hardware Manager pop-up informed me that my "device had been install successfully"....
    About 1 second later- another pop-up appears- now telling me that it wasn't possible to "complete an action"? and that my "device was not installed".
    A brief flick through driver manager showed me that my scanner was installed, but the Printer wasn't.
    I completely uninstalled the HP software, and then Dot Net.... cleaned all Temp files, and removed all rogeu Registry Entries.
    Then Restarted my computer (after checking that USB 2 was enabled in the Bios- which it was)
    I then re-installed the upto date Dot Net (downloaded via HP website), and the Up to date "Full Feature" software (also courtesy of the HP website).....and.....
    ......still the same.
    In short- I have tried:
    Removing all previous installations of the HP software and Dot Net 3.5
    Reinstalling all of the above
    4 x Different USB leads
    All the different USB ports on my PC
    Swearing and Cursing (usually works with Microsoft Products only)
    The only thing I have NOT tried, is Witch Craft and Country Dancing.
    Any further suggestions would be much appreciated......
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi again
    As I have pointed out in my previous postings-
    I have updated my version of XP, it's service Packs and also the version of DotNet- which I downloaded from this forum, and have double checked that it is the most up to date- which it is.
    I have tried to "Copy" documents on the printer, and it does not do anything.
    A warning light (beside the X button) flashes Orange.
    I then tried to scan the document as a JPEG image- and that worked fine, it scanned, and saved with no problem whatsover.
    I have tried (about 8 times now), the "Device Setup Failed to Complete" - and that pretty much states the obvious things to check when something doesn't work- the same things I have been checking for the last 6 or so days.
    The Issue, is something with the software, as the drivers will not install to be able to operate the device correctly- despite attempting Various Uninstalls, Re-installs and manual installs.
    In simple terms, installing the driver manually is fine; until it gets to the last stage- and then it stops and windows (kindly) informs me that "My printer was not installed as their was a problem".....it won't state what problem.
    By using the HP installer; you go through the processes, and when asked to connect the printer, the HP software doesn't detect it, (though the XP Device Manager does).
    I have tried so far:
    The Troubleshooting guide (as mentioned above, just seems to state the obvious)
    8 Different USB leads of differing lengths.
    All 6 of the USB ports on my computer- which otherwise work with other devices.
    Un-installing the HP software, cleaning all traces from TEMP files and the Registry, restarting my computer and re-installing.
    Manually installing the Printer using Windows Hardware Manager
    Copying a document on the Printer - that doesn't work.
    Scanning a Document on the Printer (That DOES work)
    Ensuring that my version of Windows XP is up to date.
    I have the latest version of Dot Not installed- which I have.
    Installing "Next Driver down"- which does install the device, but it won't print.
    I have been Unable to try another machine as yet, as I don't have another available.
    But that I think is my next port of call.
    Thanks for your help on this.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro Printer will not install

    Hello All,
         I have a new PC - Win 7 Pro x64 - and installing Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro.  The printer refuses to install.  Gives error:
    Warning 20225.  Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port and Printer.  The Adobe PDF  Printer may be unavailable.  GetLastError:  The operation completed successfully.
    I tried the Detect and Repair under Help, and I get the same error. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I think that will be your solution. The printer driver is not compatible with newer systems, especially 64-bit ones.

  • C4795 printer will not install on XP Pro x64.

    I purchased a C4795 printer recently, and it will not let me install it on XP Pro x64.  I have no problems installing on Vista Ultimate x64.  I load the disc and it just pops up with a compatibility error.  You can download the install package from HPs website for XP x64, but still no luck.  Thank You if anyone can help!

    Okay, it sounds like the driver may have some corruption. On the MacBook I would do the following.
    1. Open Printer Setup Utility, click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
    2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
    3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
    4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete any file showing Canon MP460 xxx.pkg
    5. Empty the Trash
    6. Restart the Mac
    7. Install the latest version of the Canon driver that you downloaded from the web. It should be 5.0.2.
    8. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
    9. Open Printer Setup Utility and click Add.
    10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via Bonjour. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
    11. Click Add to add the printer.

  • Firefox upgrades will not install on my Mac with OSX 10.8.2, I am stuck on Firefox 13

    I have a mid 2012 MBP with Retina display. When I try to install Firefox upgrades i Get the message that teh update will not be installed, are you running more than 1 copy of Firefox. This occurs no matter what I try even from a restart. Activity monitor only shows one copy of Firefox running
    I reset Firefox to the default and that did not help, I started in safe mode and that did not help.

    Hi mike_bauer
    If there is an issue with update or permissions the better, quickest and safest way is to '''download and install''' firefox:
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''''Trash''''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

  • My epson sx525wd printer will not install/add to printer list on osx lion

    I have recently installed osx lion on my macbook and imac and have had a few issues.  the most frustrating one is using a new printer i bought, Epson sx525wd which i bought several months ago but hadnt got round to playing with it yet.  Maybe my downfall in not installing on Snow Leopard prior to Lion intall.
    Anyhow, When trying to add the printer in the printer system preferences panel, both usb connected or wifi, the message that appears is, this printer software is available to download from apple wound you like to download it, i click yes and it says there is not software to download and then wont let me add the printer.
    So, i tried downloading the software/drivers and so on from epson, successfully and installed but add printer system preferences panel still asks me to download from software update and again says there isnt any software to download.
    So, i tried doing a software update from the apple icon, software update. again no software updates available.  Finally i found the CD installation disc that came with the printer thinking i had fool it.  to my disappointment i found that the installation software on the disc was not working and said i needed to install rosetta.  and to my further disappointment i discovered that lion has discontinued the use of rosetta.....?  is this true.
    I am unsure what to do...
    would it be safe to say that i might have to revert back to snow leopard to install the printer then upgrade to lion again?
    can anyone help or at least give suggestions?
    Many thanks
    Andy

    Delete the /Library/Printers/Epson folder. Then try installing the software that you downloaded again. If that doesn't help, you can try downloading the full package of Epson drivers from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL900.
    It shouldn't be necessary to go back to SL and then to Lion to get this working.
    Hope this helps.
