Pixma won't print after scanning via USB

My Pixma MG3200 series wireless printer was working fine until I had to scan something. Learned that it won't scan via wireless, so I attached the USB cable that came with the machine, scanned, then removed the cable. Have not been able to print wirelessly since then.
I did find that it was marked to use the printer offline (which matched the message I was getting), so I removed that checkmark. Still no printing. I restarted my laptop and it now says Printer Ready. Still no printing, but it now pops up with Printer Not Responding, and of course all it says in the Print Queue is Error - no explanation or link to assistance. Help!

Hi opus88,
The PIXMA MG3222 can scan wirelessly over your network, however, the IJ Network Scanner Selector EX will need to be running on your computer, and the printer will need to be selected in that program.
We recommend reinstalling the drivers and software for the printer from the Canon USA website to get your printer back online. The following link will take you to the initial download page for your PIXMA MG3222:
PIXMA MG3222 Drivers and Software page
Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click the MINI MASTER SETUP file. When you do, another page will appear giving details of the file you are about to download will appear.
3. Please scroll down on the Details page and agree to the terms of the disclaimer message to continue with the download process by clicking on the "I AGREE - BEGIN DOWNLOAD" button. After clicking the "I AGREE - BEGIN DOWNLOAD" button, follow the instructions to download and install the driver. The time for the download process may vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection and the size of the file being downloaded.
Once you have downloaded the drivers for the printer, please follow the steps above to download the Quick Menu and My Image Garden software for the printer. Next, please click the red arrow next to the SOFTWARE section on the webpage to display and download the other software for the printer.
If you are unable to scan wirelessly after reinstalling the drivers and software, you may need to select the printer in the IJ Network Scanner Selector EX and IJ Scan Utility programs. To do this, please follow the steps located at the link below:
PIXMA MG3222 Network Scan Settings

8500A Plus Won't print after idle 20 mins

Windows 7, 64 bit, no service pack yet. Tried updating firmware, but by computer grays out the printer option. This is my THIRD printer from HP (exact same model) that has had the exact same issue. Must be a software issue, but can't find it. Printer won't print after idle for 20 mins. Goes into printer que, but doesn't complete. Issue started Jan 2, no big changes to computer at time. Has anyone had this issue that can help? I'm about ready to go buy a Brother. Thanks

The first thing I would do is follow step six in this document to set a static IP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02790693&cc=ad&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...

IPod won't Mount or Charge via USB

I've had my iPod three years now and it won't charge or mount via USB...Works fine and charges on all other devices, be it my Sony cd player in my car or my iPod clock radio player...
I can reset mine for many many times in a row... It still doesn't fix the problem... I can then proceed to turn the iPod off and it will act like it's mounting, freezes and doesn't nothing displaying do not disconnect (without blinking). If I try to turn it off again, it does nothing except then charge and mount for about 2 seconds, and then goes back to the main entrance screen... It's horrible.
If I hold down the center button and the play/pause button it will mount and charge, but will eventually turn off. It's so stupid. I'm completely and utterly dissatisfied with my iPod (3 years later).
The iPod will charge on any other device besides a usb or iTunes...It mounts right up and charges on my Sony car stereo...Or my clock with built in iPod radio.

Well, here's the real deal about all this. Apple told me, "The issue is directly caused by the 1.2.3. update and they are "looking' at he problem but don't take it too seriously because there are not enough iPods having this problem to allocate any real steps to fix this the problem". DO NOT UPDATE TO 1.2.3. IT WILL RUIN YOUR IPOD! The real problem is IF THEY FIX THIS PROBLEM HOW ARE WE TO FIX OUR IPods? If it is a download, no good because there is no way to sync your iPOD to your computer to download the fix. Same problem with a CD fix. The only way to have our iPods fixed is to send them in and APPLE will NEVER pay for that. Finally if your WARRANTY IS LAPSED, YOUR SCREWED.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY YOUR NEW PAPER WEIGHT!

Canon Pixma 8120 won't print after new hard drive + TC install

I have a great Pixma 8120 which was previously successfully networked wirelessly to an intel imac SL 10.6.8 and
a Macbook Pro running Lion. Our internet connection is Fios via router and the imac had been connected via
ethernet to the Fios router.
Last week, the imac's hard drive needed to be replaced - Apple Geniuses
installed the new hard drive at the apple store and restored all of the data. I bought a new Time Capsule
and backed up the new hard drive as soon as I got it home (yes I got religion).
I now have the TC connected via ethernet
to the router and set up a new network -- connected both the imac and the macbook via airport no problem. Nice
fast internet (safari).
The problem is the Canon printer. I configured the printer to recognize the new network over the TC and was able to
connect it via wi-fi to the access point. When printing however, the printer icon pops up in the dock and looks like its starting
to process the job but then the job disappears fromt the print queue screen. poof. nothing.
I suspect I may have a problem with the TC's security settings not being compatible with the canon - the canon manual does say something about the canon not supporting "enterprise" and I did see that in the TC settings.
I have a huge work project due tomorrow so I decided to forego the wireless thing for now and just hook the printer up
via USB to the imac. I reinstalled the Canon software following the all directions for when to plug in the USB in the process.
It didn't work. Then I went to the Canon support page and downloaded/installed an updated driver. Now I have
a nice new looking printer icon but when I try to print it starts and then gives me a "communication error has occured"
message -- error 306.
Does anyone have advice for me?

Never mind. I realized that I needed to ethernet the imac to the TC.
I just got the Canon to print. Sorry to bother.

Envy 5530 won't print or scan

Out of the blue I am unable to print via usb or wirelessly. I have tried the "Doctor" which keeps saying I do not have the "full" software and/or driver package. I have uninstalled/reinstalled what seems like 67 times. I have tried numerous fixes from the forum, all with no results. (Clean boot - DL software/drivers for Envy 5531, etc) My printer has wireless set up, but no computer found. I'm just going around & around with no solution in sight. If I'm seem frustrated, I am after spending 3-4 hours to get a document scanned (or even printed) that is necessary for medical reasons. Since I can't use it as a door stop or paperweight, ready to toss into dumpster. Printing should't be this hard!Thank you for letting me vent. Any help would be much, much appreciated.

Thank you for getting back to me @rjrabbit!
If the printer is having troubles performing a photo copy then you are likely looking at a hardware or power issue and not a software issue. To ensure the printer is still receiving full power it is recommend to plug the power into the wall directly and not a power surge protector. It may sounds silly but is a good way to ensure power is not a factor and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting.
If you find your still getting the copy and scan issue when the printer is into a direct power source I suggest checking the firmware version on the printer. I was able to locate a firmware update for the ENVY 5530 on the HP web site. You will want to check the firmware version on the printer first.
To check the current firmware version on printer, you can print a status report.
To print a status report:
Press the Setup (wrench) icon at the top of the printer touch screen
Press Tools
Press Print Status Report
Once you locate the firmware version on the printer Status Report check to see if it matches Version ORL1CN1418AR. If not, then I recommend following this link to HP ENVY 5530 e-All-in-One Printer series Firmware Update. Download and run the Firmware update. Its recommended (if you have one) to have the printer plugged in USB when running a firmware update.
Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums! I hope this helps and please post back and let me know how it goes.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus won't print or scan wirelessly using Mac OS 10.

Mac OS 10.9
Wireless
My printer was working fine until today. Then when I used the control panel to scan a page I went through the steps and got to scanning and got the message I needed to enable "Scan to Computer" in the HP Utility. I went there and it was unchecked. Seems I had this problem every time I did a new scan job in the past. It wouldn't retain than check. So I checked it and after awhile I got the message "Communication Error" and to check my connections and if that didn't work restart my computer and printer. I did that and also restarted the router but it didn't help.
Then I tried printing from Word, which has always worked but it didn't this time. The printer icon on the right of the dock came up, bounced a few times then disappeared with nothing happening on the printer.
So I deleted and reinstalled the printer. No help. I downloaded and installed HP software and firmware updates. No help. I went through wireless setup. No help
BTW, all along I got good "Wireless Network Test" results. I says it's connected but nothing happens when I try any functions of the printer.
If I can find a USB cable I will try to see if wired works.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey @neoflyer,
I would like to assist you today with resolving the wireless printing and scanning issues you're experiencing on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer on your Mac OS X 10.9 Operating System. You mentioned that you have powercycled the devices, reran the wireless setup, and uninstalled and reinstalled the software and drivers to no avail. I'm going to suggest a few additional troubleshooting steps to verify if this is a computer issue or a network issue.
Step 1: Gather the IP and Open the EWS:
1. On the screen of your printer select the wireless button:
2. Under the Wireless information you should see your IP address
3. Open up your internet browser on your Mac computer and in the website address bar just type in your IP address. Please do not include www.
4. After you enter your IP address in the website bar go to that website
5. If the website for your printer opens than that proves with 100% certainty that your printer and computer are 'talking' to each other on your wireless network. If the website fails to open than you have a network communication issue with your router.
If the website fails to open please powercycle your network again:
How to Properly Powercycle a Network:
First, unplug the power cable to your Router
Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
Next, shut down your computer
After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
Next, turn on your printer
Turn on the computer
After a few moments check on your computer and ensure that the internet is working. Once it is, hit the wireless button again on the printer to see if your printer got a new IP address. Using the IP address enter it in the address bar of your internet browser and now see if the website for the printer opens.
If the website for the printer opens successfully please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
From the computer desktop, double-click the Macintosh HD, and then click Applications.
Click the Hewlett-Packard folder.
Double-click the HP Uninstaller, and then click Continue.
Select the product to uninstall, and then click Uninstall.
When prompted, type the Administrator name and Password, and then click OK.
From the Macintosh HD menu, click Users.
Click the correct user name.
Click Library.
Click Preferences.
Click and hold the cursor on the first file that starts with "HP," and then drag the file to the Trash icon on the taskbar. Complete this step for each file that starts with "HP."
Close out of Preferences.
Click the Trash icon on the taskbar, click the Empty button, and then click OK to empty the trash.
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
1. Please click the following link to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.9 drivers for your printer: Mac: HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Drivers
2. Once downloaded, run through the step by step screens to reinstall your network printer
3. Once the printer is reinstalled, attempt a print and a scan!
Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums. Good luck!

HP p1006 won't print after upgrade to Mavericks

After upgrading from 10.8 to 10.9 my computer won't print anymore. It says "Pages not found!"
The printer is attached to a Mac server running 10.8 which is printing fine, but my computer (running 10.9) won't print unless I boot it from the 10.8 partition which still works.
What I've already tried: (on my computer & server)
Reset the printing system
updated drivers to HPPrinterDriver2.16.1
Repaired permissions

Hi zmogy,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to print on the 10.9.
I will be happy to help you.
The HPPrinterDriver2.16.1 is the latest HP printing and scanning software for OS X Mountain Lion, OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
Plug the printer directly into the 10.9 computer and run the Apple Updates to install the Apple drivers.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Test the printing.
I can't guarantee it will print over the server.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a nice day!

MX850 won't print after long time idle

After a long time out of action my MX850 won't print at all - I have tried deep cleaning, aligning head and cleaning rollers but still not working...I have a feeling it is the print head and I am expecting to replace all the cartridges but just don't want to have to do it if it may be something else instead as they are pretty expensive...please help.

Hello LARMC, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing idle issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Samsung 4500 Printer won't print after restoring from Time Machine

My HD drive went down, and was replaced with a new one (1TB). Restored via Time Machine. But the printer (Samsung) won't print now. I get an error that a software update is required. I tried the System Preferences route; then I went to Samsung and downloaded a driver (once), that didn't work. I found another note that someone was having a similar problem, and tried this download
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCX-4500W
Installed OK, but still no printer.
It worked fine until the software changes (I was using Mountain Lion before and after the HD failure).
But now, I have no printer.
Any suggestions besides buying a new printer?

Printer not working via usb connection to airport time capsule

I bought an airport time capsule 3 TB, and I wanted to connect my multifunctional printer-scaner "canon i-sensys MF4350d" via usb to my airport device.However, I found a problem. Although my printer working properly in direct connection via usb,not working when connected via usb to my airport time capsule. when I chose printer In nearby printer list this error apeared:"the software for this printer is currently unavailable please contact the manufacturer for latest version" when I chose add printer and chose the printer model this error apeared:"the printer information has not been acquired"
devices:
printer: canon i-sensys MF4350d
air port time capsule 3 TB
macbook pro me664
osx mountain lion 10.8.5 (latest version)
printer software:canon UFR II ver 2.43(latest version for my printer)

Login to airport utility via Mac or windows pc. Look under connected usb devices and it should say your manufacturer for the printer. If not try rebooting both printer and router with them being plugged in or try different usb cable or port on printer.

Time Capsule, MFP, and scanning via USB switch

Has anyone tried to share a multi-function printer between Time Capsule and an iMac using a USB switch?
The TC and the printer work fine together for wireless printing, but I'd like to be able to use the MFP's scanner with my desktop without swapping the USB connection each time. Has anyone gotten such a setup to work, and if so can you recommend a particular USB switch?
I would connect the iMac to the printer by USB via one branch of the switch, while the other branch would connect the TC to the printer for wireless printing.
I know that another solution would be to connect the iMac to the printer and share the printer using OS X's printer sharing feature, but I'd like to avoid forcing the iMac to remain on in order to print.
Hardware: Canon Pixma MP830, iMac (2.7 GHz Core i5, running Lion), Time Capsule (4th Gen., 2TB)
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Please explain exactly what you mean by "plugging the NAS into the ethernet port on the imac and the TC via USB". I can't picture how you have things connected.
I'd plug the NAS and your iMac into Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule. If you want to assure that you're copying over Ethernet, then turn off AirPort on the iMac.

MacBook Pro won't recognize external drive via usb, will recognize same drive by firewire.

Title pretty much sums it up. I've had an external firewire 800 drive (Iomega eGo) for about 2 years now. I've got it partitioned and am using part as a time machine backup and the rest as a data storage/ data moving partition. A few days ago I realized that any data I put on either partition can't be copied off by either my computer or either of my two friend's MacBook Pros. The copy starts fine, but then always screeches to a halt around 5% (this is via firewire). This same drive also cannot be recognized via USB by any of our Macs (I plug it in, light comes on, but doesn't blink), but if I plug it into my Windows Desktop the USB recognition is immediate. I found this very strange. I could also copy files off of the drive via USB onto my desktop. If I let it sit long enough on a failed copy on our macbooks eventually it gives me an error code 36. I traced that to a likely hard drive failure on the part of the external. I found this odd because not even 3 days ago I was pulling iTunes songs off the drive onto my desktop with no trouble. Is there any way to fix this via software or the terminal or anything? Disk Utility says both partitions are 'OK'. I'd really like to not spend another chunk of change on an external, as I just spent $180 on a new HDD and SSD for my desktop.
Thanks in advance,
Jeremy

Printer won't print after a few mnutes

Printer will consistently print just after it is turned on, but will NOT print after about 3-5 minutes. Printer goes to sleep but will wake up with a touch of the screen. If I try to turn off the printer, it often will not shut down without having to pull the plug. So, when I pull the plug and restart, if I'm quick enough, I can print. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the software both from CD and download 3 times with no luck. We have tried using the rinter wireless and with a usb cable--no difference. The printer also gets lost on my iPad and iPhone after this short amount of time too. What can I do...I am miserable! I have owned nothing but HP printers since the beginning of time!!! HELP!

HI Kathyju,
Please check the firmware and if the firmware on the printer is older than the one mentioned in the link below, please upgrade the printer and check.
The below link provides you info on how to check the firmware of the printer. If you are not using the one mentioned in the link please upgrade to the new firmware available.
CLICK here to go to the firmware download page.
