  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
    /Library/Printers/Canon
    and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

  • Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

    I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it.  When I try add the printer I get this message:
    Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
    After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
    Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
    Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
    Print & Scan
    IP
    Provide printer static IP address
    Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
    Add
    Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
    I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
    Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

    Your issue is completely different. You are running Snow Leopard. There is no download for Windows Support software for Snow Leopard, hence the error you see. Snow Leopard Windows Support software is on the Snow Leopard installation disk.
    You need the Snow Leopard installation disk or a replacement for it.

  • Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

    I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port.  However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."  And then I have to click cancel.
    The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series,  and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network',  and USE: MX870 series.  But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
    "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello Marty,
    It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences.  I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:
    Resolution
    USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

  • "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the software update server." Running Mavericks, Canon printer. What do I do?

    We have a canon printer and it connects fine to my boyfriend's HP. I can't get it to connect to my macbook though--when I plug it in with USB it asks me if I want to install the software, has me agree ot the user terms and conditions, and then I get the error message. I've installed all updates, tried turning my computer on and off. Where do I go from here?

    Did you install the Software Update beforehand? I believe you need this so that your Mac's database will update on your newly connected devices. Try the solutions here. I just did what it says there and then restart my computer and my router after all the process and it works for me. Goodluck!

  • My Canon MX310 Series Printer failed as the software "is currently not available from the Software Update Server"? What is the matter with Apple OSX Mountain Lion?

    Mountain Lion stopped working with our Canon MX310 Printer? Why is the software not available from the Software Update Server?

    The printer and ICA scanner driver is available from Apple. There is probably some other reason why you cannot get the drivers.
    You can also get the drivers from Canon.
    But reading your post it sounds like you were printing to the MX310 and recently it has stopped printing. Is this the case?

  • HP Printer Driver not currently available from Software Update server

    I have an iMac (early 2009) and an HP OfficeJet 6100 Series printer.  I just upgraded my Apple Extreme Base Station and when I try to add the printer again thru the new Base Station the iMac says the software is available from the Apple Server but after searching it returns the following message: "Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard OfficeJet 6100 Series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."  This has been going on for days.  I have the driver installed already from having the printer connected via USB and via my old Base Station but cannot "see" the printer on my new Base Station without adding it again.
    Any suggestions?

And also programs such as itunes or iphoto will say that there is an update needed and the updater will search and just come up with the error msg.

  • Canon MG5220 driver not available on Software update server

    I'm receiving the following error everytime I attempt to add the Multifunction Canon MG5220 printer ... Connected via USB and WiFi both modes fail to install the printer driver.
    "Can't install the software for the canon MG5220 series becasue it is not currently available from the software update server"
    I've downloaded drivers from the Canon site, however the Mac continues to attempt to reach the update server to get the driver without success. So I've not been able to print.
    Strangley enough, the scanner driver portion is seen, but not the printer.

    Resolved after downloading and running the setup file for this multifunction printer from Canon site.

  • HP Driver "Can't install because it is not available from Software Update Server"

    Proplem: Can't use my HP Officejet 6500 E709n on my MacBook Pro, even using USB connection.    I click on sign, get add printer window showing the HP 6500 printer as USB Multifunction.  I select and press 'add'.  I get 'setting up ...' window.  After a while I get the error window, "Can't install the software for the HP Office jet 6500 E709n because it is not currently available from Software Update Server."  Only option is cancel.
    HP site says that it supports Mountain Lion and the only way to get the driver is through Apple's Software Update.
    Apple's site says Mountain Lion supports HP 6500 printer.
    The Windows 7 computer on the netword prints fine to it.
    I would really like to get this connected.  Does anyone have a clue why the driver is not on the Software Update Server what the fix is?
    Thank you for the help.

    Fantastic, Mene1 & John.  Thank you.  I deleted the HP Folder, deleted trash, reboot, and reinstalled.  USB installed like a charm.  Was able to print and scan.   I even noticed that the Fax printer came up for both USB and 192.168.1.65.  I installed the fax printer for the network and it works great without USB.   
    However, the network for the printer never showed up in the list.  I tried IP option and entered the address.  It correctly identified the printer in the "use" field.  However, when I click on 'add' is has a window that says, "Unable to verify the printer on your network.  Unable to contact to '192.168.1.65' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?"   I choose Continue, and it creates the printer.  Printing, it just sits there trying to connect with the printer.    Again, the printer is hardwired into my home network and I am using my AT&T U-verse Wi-Fi connection to my MacBook Pro (which works for Fax on the printer). 
    Any ideas?

    My Acrobat 8 Pro is failing to print to a pdf from multiple software.  I get an error message that a repair fixes but only for a little while.  Pretty soon the trial version of 9 that I installed pops up telling me it has expired but it would take me to a way to buy a valid serial number and then 8 stops working again.  I’d be happy if the 8 I paid for worked right or I could get 9 for a small cost but I cannot afford $450 or $20/month.  I need a permanent solution that I should be already paid for with 8 pro.

    After multiple repair procedures with reboot in AA8 I was eventually able to restore the printing to pdf function from various software.  However I have again lost my Acrobat tab in Outlook 2007.  I need that back, but today an even bigger problem arose.  AA8 has stopped printing to fax.  It faxes a blank page.  The only fax printing option is “Microsoft Shared Fax Driver”.  My fax software is “Windows Fax and Scan” and it was working fine just a couple weeks ago.  My OS is Windows 7 Professional.
    I have tried doing the updates you referred to but I get error messages like these:
    “No qualifying products found to apply this update, or update has been already applied”
    or
    “The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing , or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program.  Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.”

    Well, I made  VI to test my inputs and outputs, and the problem that I am having is that when I try tu run the VI, in the deployment window I get an error message that read: The scan engine received a request for an I/O driver which is not currently installed on the controller.
    Apparently there is another driver that I need to instal in the controller, but I have no idea of what driver could be. If someone have any idea of what this problem could be, I really will appreciate your help.

    Hi nausfaratu,
    Can you elaborate a little further? What are you doing in your VI? Are you getting this error when you build it into a Real-Time Application (EXE) or when you just run it from the development environment? Is that the recommended set of software or did you do a custom software install on the controller?
