Pixma MG5420 stops printing midway through picture

Printing out a handful of 4"X6" borderless postcards. It will print several at a time, or maybe not even finish one, and just stop. No message on the display. The only thing I see in the console on the Mac is "Canon_MG5400_series: File "/Library/Caches/com.apple.ipp2ppd.Canon MG5400 series.icns" not available: No such file or directory", which I think is an ignorable error.
What causes a printer to just stop printing mid-page and think it's done? Ink levels look good, paper feed looks good...
Thanks!

Printer PIXMA MX890 stopped printing

All of a sudden my printer stopped printer and error message cassette and no paper when the cassette is clear and has paper.

Hello.
Please check the message on the LCD display to see what paper source is specified. It may be possible that the unit is attempting to feed from a different tray depending on what size and type of paper is selected.

Why is the audio file stop playing midway through a .mp3 file in Firefox and not in the IE browser ?

I added an audio file on to my website, http://www.widescreenonlinereview.com/COMIC-REVIEWS.html. However, the mp3 file stop midway though the song, but the .mp3 file plays completely in the IE Browser.
I tried update Firefox, but I lost some major add-on, which me caused to return to my present Firefox browser, and the .mp3 file still would not play completely in the updates browser either.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

PIXMA MX922 stopped printing

Have been using it for a couple of weeks. Today printer is on, it is the default printer in Windows 7. Sent documents to print; they appear in the printing queue, then it gives "error printing" message. Went to Canon utility, sent test page, same result. No error codes showing in printer display. Printer status is "Ready" when I check it in Devices and Printer. Turned everything on and off, same results.
In summary, printer is connected, no error messages, but no print output.
Please help!

Pixma MG5420 Printer Head Installation-Virtually No Instructions Provided

My first Pixma MG5420 got the 5011 error you they shipped me out a refurbrished model but this time they expect me to install the printer head myself. If Canon expects the customer to do this they should at least provide detailed instructions on how to do so.All they provided were 3 tiny gray pictures that show you absolutely anything. Can anyone provide assistance in installing this?
They also claimed they would send me a different model but they sent me the exact same model. At this point I think I'd rather just get my money back. Is that possible?

Hi BigTommy,
To install the print head and ink tanks in your PIXMA MG5420, please follow the steps located at the link below:

Premiere Pro CC 2014 Stalls Midway Through Render

I've recently added the CC 2014 suite to my computer, and for the most part it's good and solid. However, whenever I try to output a file from Premiere Pro CC 2014, either as a direct export or via Media Encoder, the program simply stops rendering midway through the process. It doesn't actually freeze up or fail to respond, as I can easily stop the render altogether without having to resort to task manager. It simply stops as any random point and then the estimated render time begins to climb, and it doesn't stop climbing. It doesn't matter what settings I use, custom or preset, MOV, MP4, AVI...h.264, mpeg...codec or container does not matter. The results are the same. I even tried changing the Preview File Format, nothing different there either. Tried a complete uninstall/re-install (made sure to use the cleaner tool). No luck.
As someone who relies pretty heavily on NLE's to cover his freelance work, this is pretty disconcerting. For now, my only fix was to step back to the previous version of CC, but I don't view that as a long term solution. Anyone have any ideas?
For clarity, here are my system specs:
Motherboard: Asus Z97-Pro
CPU: Intel i7 4790k (with Corsair H110 Liquid Cooler)
RAM: G.Skill Ares series 1866 - 32GB
GPU: EVGA GTX 780 - 3GB
Primary Drive: Intel 335 Series SSD - 240GB

You say it stops at random points every time. Are they really random, or is it at the same general area on your timeline? There may be a piece of media there that is preventing it from finishing. This has happened to us several times throughout our editing process for our documentary and it is almost always a image file that causes this issue. Generally replacing it or converting it to another format will help in our case.

5250 Stops midway through print

This happens frequently but not always. A page will start to print, then the printer stops printing. If I leave the printer unattended, printing will resume after sevral minutes but only a few characters per page. The printed material looks like ASCII or something and the few character per page printing will continue until all of the paper in the printer is spent.
A similar routine happens sometimes with printable CDs but the printing just stops midway, so I have a half-printed CD and need to burn another one. The CD printing problem appears to be less likely if I close down all programs and reboot the computer, starting with a clean slate.
I don't believe that it is a memory or CPU problem since I have 3 GB RAM and an Intel 6600 chip.
The HP scan and detect software says that my software and drivers are up-to-date.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It sounds like you have a communication issue between the computer and printer. I suspect communication is being lost and the printer starts printing the PCL once it retries after a timeout.
Check your cables and reseat the connections.

HELP!!!--- Canon Pixma MG5420 Mac OS X 10.5.8 PowerPC Universal Binary Print Driver...... ---

Greetings Everyone!
I am a bit miffed at the moment.
I purchased a Canon Pixma MG5420 Print-Copy-Scan machine with the intention of using it with my Power Mac G5, PowerPC, Mac OS X 10.5.8.
But alas. Apparently it is not to be. The box in which the printer came cleary displays the Mac Logo and the Universal Logo, the Universal Logo looking like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_binary
The Mac OS X system requirements also notate the OS X to be a minimum of 10.5.8!
The driver CD only contains drivers for Mac OS X Intel.
So Someone....ANYONE!....please tell me why Canon has stooped to this low level of "False Advertising"???
Let's FLAG this issue and find out WHY!
NEED HELP!
....and could use working drivers!

IT"S OFFICIAL!---> Canon has stopped porting any of their drivers to the Universal Binary format for MAC OS X which is a combo installer for PowerPC and Intel machines.
The MG5420 MFP that I have was released in December 2012 and they *said* that I was the first person to "complain" of this issue!....REALLY!?!?....wow...so there is no one else out there using the PowerPC platform??? I find the G5 (model M9592LL/A) to be quite adequate and useable for what I do! I guess the engineers couldn't be bothered to "port" it to the PowerPC platform! Listen Canon, if you don't think the PowerPC is still useable, go visit http://www.macofalltrades.com/ and watch the "trend" of what sells and what doesn't.....or maybe you should call another authority of Apple products http://www.macsales.com/ and ask what volume of PowerPC compatible parts they sell?!
And Canon, I know you offered to buy back this "mistake", but for the $99 I bought it at, (extra set of ink not included) I may just hold on to it and do the "workaround" of scanning to and printing from a Windows XP PC shared folder...No, Canon, I'm not completely stupid!....I set-up MFP's for my job, so I know a little bit about networking! ...enough to be dangerous, at least! ;-) Any way, I just got this G5 a year or so ago and it is new to me...I probably wait a little longer and then get an Intel Mac, and THEN it will work natively with this INTEL CANON!....LOL!
What do you think?!.....Thoughts?.....Ideas?
Oh, and Canon.....get your "engineering" team and your marketing "box makers/printers" in Thailand to get their "info" to correspond and be accurate....that way there will be no false advertising and misrepresentation of Apple's "Intellectual Property" and "breach of contract!.....You darn well know they have an "Image" to uphold!
https://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/maclogo.html
CHEERS!
PS--you better watch your back Canon on this little faux pas!....Epson might use this to their advertising advantage!....they still support Universal Binary!

Pixma Pro-10 stops printing in middle of an image.

Pixma Pro-10 stops printing in middle of an image. It is wireless, using OS Windows 7 - 64 bit. It doesn't do it all the time but the larger images (13x19) have more problems. I am using LightRoom 5 and Canon Print Studio Pro to print the image. Very frustraing especially when it gets to 1 inch of finishing an image and decides it done. Thank you for your assistance.

If it doesn't do it all the time is it possibly losing wireless signal? How close/far is printer from the wireless router?

Thanks,

The printer can be stored with the ink tanks and print head installed, make sure the printer is powered off properly so that the print head is capped. If you have print quality issue once the printer is out of storage, follow the steps listed HERE to perform a print head cleaning.

My iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, although it will print if connected via USB. Meanwhile, my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) prints still prints wirelessly. Please help.

May iMac (OS 10.7.4) has suddenly stopped printing to my Epson CX4800 printer through Airport Extreme, though my MacBook (OS 10.5.8) continues to function just fine). The iMac will print if it is connected to the printer directly via USB. The iMac continues to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I've tried resetting the printer and ensuring the driver is up to date, but no joy.
Any suggestions?

Purchased itunes movie stops midway through operating

I purchased a movie from the itunes store and when i play it, it will stop half way through the movie. It says its playing, not paused. I have tried to start it from different points but if i start it in the later half it forces me back to the middle and won't play any further. i have restarted and it still does not work. I bought the **** thing for $14 and can't watch it or return it. Any help?

I can transfer and see rented movies when I sync my iphone, but purchased movies don't give the option of transferring at all, even efter sync-ing multiple times. It is in the itunes library, and it's viewable through my computer, but right-clicking on the purchased movie or trying to drag and drop onto the iphone is futile =/. There doesn't appear to be anything in the user guide that mentions purchased movies specifically, but rented movies are mentioned multiple times. Do I have to assume that purchased movies are not transferrable to the iphone? If so, that would pretty much stink.

Premiere elements 8 - Audio stops midway through timeline playback

Hi Everyone... I am editing together a series of mp4 shots with a separate mp3 audio soundtrack. The audio from the vid shots is turned down or off and the music is on the soundtrack channel....
I am on an HP Notebook w/4 gb ram, windows-7 64bit, 320 gb hd, 2.64 ghz processor... I dont have many problems with the video, its slow occasionally, but generally has worked fine.
The audio was working fine for a while, then one time when i rendered down a rough version, i noticed the audio stopped mid way through the playback. Before that, it was working fine. So i went back into the editor and sure enough the audio was stopping mid way through there too. I also noticed that the sound from the video shots continued to work fine, only the music would cut off. since then, nothing i do restores the audio.
I've viewed the audio wave form, everything is there, it looks fine.
Any thoughts? And thank you so much for any assistance!

Also note that the program must conform and create peak files for certain media files when you first add them to your project. (You can see the progress in the lower right corner of the interface.) If you interrupt this process and try to work with these files before they're completely conformed, they may only be partially conformed and you get only half the audio.
Try clearing the audio from your Project panel (from the right-click option) and then re-adding it to your project -- making sure to allow the program to completely conform the file before you start working with it.
