Please HELP me install my Canon ip4300 printer drivers

Hi,
I just bought a Canon ip 4300 printer and I can’t get my computer
(ibook G4 14 in 1.0GHz) to install/recognize the driver.
I tried the installation CD, and downloading the latest driver from Canon.
But no luck.
When I go to the Printer Set Up Utility and try to add the printer, the computer can find the printer over the usb cable. But when I select it, it can't auto find the driver. It just gives me a selection of outdated Canon gimp print drivers.
I called Canon and they walked me through installing the drivers in the root user account... but that didn't do anything either. They said I would have to call Apple -- that it was likely something to do with permissions???
Since I don't have any Apple support left, I came here.
Please, if anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them.
Thanks.
ibook G4 14 in 1.0GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Start by repairing permissions (Disk Utility).

please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

Canon ip4300 printer not working since restore of back up to replacement hard drive

I have submitted a question to Canon, but thought I'd see if anyone has had this issue here.
I had to replace my hard drive due to a failure.
Then I restored my iMac from a TimeMachine backup. That worked fine.
Now though the Canon ip4300 printer I was using successfully before the new hard drive and restore is no longer working. The print status window says i need to install software to use this printer.
However, it definitely worked before the restore.
Canon does not appear to have any drivers for OSX 10.10. However, I was hoping to get this older printer to work again since it was working on Monday just fine before the drive failure.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

What system were you running before the drive failed?
First try the fix discussing in this Apple document: OS X Yosemite: Reset the printing system
Next, if you have Time Machine backups try the following;
1 - go to the HD/Library/Printers folder and select the Canon folder.
2 - enter Time Machine and go back to just before the drive crashed.
3 - select the Canon folder and restore it.
4 - run Disk Utility to repair disk permissions.
5 - try the printer.
This is what I had to do when I upgraded my system for my older Canon i850 printer.

Please help me install Pattern Maker?

Hi,
At this url:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4687&fileID=4377
I am trying to download the plugin:
CS5_Optional_PlugIns_Installer.dmg
The files included are:
CS5 Optional Extension Plug-Ins.mxp
and
CS5 Optional Plugins.mxp
When I attempt to install either of these two files, I get the following error message:
I’m attempting to place the installs into the Applications> Photoshop CS5 > Plugins > Optional Plugins
I'm on a Mac OS 10.6.5
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much in advance.
Linda

Hi Linda,
Sorry if I confused, but I just want to make sure that you don't have all the Optional Extensions installed and enabled (as fallout from trying to get Pattern Maker working). There are two .mxp files and you mentioned trying to install both of them. I haven't seen the actual error you get, so to be safe, I'm suggesting that you make sure to disable all the Optional Extensions (and likely all the optional plug-ins that you don't need too). The installers are/were all or nothing (I'm not sure if the installer .mxp for Optional Extensions has been removed yet).
The quickest way to uninstall is using the CS5 Service Manager application (IF it is working correctly). The quickest way to tell if they are installed is probably to look in this folder: Adobe Photoshop CS5/Plug-Ins/Extensions.
There should only be 5 there by default: Enable Async IO, FastCore, MMXCore, MultiProcessor Support, and ScriptingSupport.
Let me know if you still have questions,
regards,
steve

Hi Linda,
If you installed the Optional Extensions Plug-Ins.mxp you'll want to uninstall all of them (or disable them and only enable individual ones that are needed). To uninstall, use the CS5 Extension Manager. To disable them, individually rename each with a tilde(~) as the first character.

Please help me install backup assistant plus

please help me install backup assistant plus

I would recommend you use Google android services for you device. I have used Google in almost all of my phones and with never a problem. Backup assistant plus is not as stable or as easy to use as Google. Just set up a Google account if you don't have one already (and I'm sure you do) . Give it a try
Do a Google backup
1. Sign in to your Google's device, online account and go to settings.
2. Personal, Backup and reset, and select both Backup my data and Automatic restore.
3. Go to Settings, Personal, Accounts & Sync, and select your Google account.
4. Select all of the option boxes listed, to ensure that all available data is synced.
5. Though the specific procedure may slightly vary between Android devices, the process is generally the same.

Please Help Me Install Flash player

Yesterday I unintentionally uninstalled Flash player with a product named Perfect Uninstaller. During the process it states that the Item I uninstalled will be uninstalled now and forever. Every time I click "run" to install it starts for about one second and then stops completely. I'm beginning to think that they meant it and that there is some sort of blocking going on but that is just an assumption. I hope some can help. I am a novice obviously. I am using Windows XP.

Hi,
One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
Any idea how can this problem be solved?
It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
Thanks

Only way is if you made a backup of your system before you installed Mt Lion.
Or if your system came with Lion Pre-Installed you boot to the online recovery system, Hold down Command+option+r at startup until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen.

Where did you get the phone? If it was previously locked to a carrier and was hacked/jailbroken to use it on a different carrier, updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize and unlock.

Installing a Canon iP4200 printer

My problem is getting 10.4.3 to recognise the print driver.
I have followed the installation instructions many times and always come up against the same problem.When I have resarted the computer and go to the print utility and push add, an extra window comes up and recognises the printer then searches for the print driver. But the add button stays dimmed, and yet again I still can't access the printer. I have used both the installation cd and also downloaded another driver from the Canon site .But still no success.
I'm hoping someone else has come up with this problem and successfully solved it.
I'd also like to wish you all a happy new year Gordon Armstrong.

Hi,
A couple of days back I made a similar posting:
"I have a new iP4200 Canon printer to be accessed by two iBooks (both running OS 10.4.4 and an iMac G5 running 10.4.4.
The Canon software CD was difficult to download to iMac but better with the iBooks.
iBooks pick up printer fine via wireless, but cannot appear to get drivers to download onto iMac. Have tried direct downloads of driver from several Canon sites but to no avail.
Error message in Printer Setup Utility stage is always the same:
"an error occurred while trying to add the selected printer"
Seems it cannot locate the driver - which Spotlight cannot find either. Installing 10.4.5 is no help either.
Both Canon and Apple support offer little practical help.
Is this a one-off problem with my iMac?"
Reading your post and responses it seems I'm not alone.
I tried the newest driver and found it no good either.
My dear wife tells me to return the printer, but it is a beauty (when I use the lappies wirelessly) but that is the frustration - works on some and not on the desktop!
If you have any updates (or is it still a problem?) please tell me.
Thanks.
Mike

HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125nw Driver Setup Error - Please Help - I can't Use My Printer

Hi,
I have just bought a new HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125nw Printer. But I can not install it. I can't use it, even one page written document.
This is the error when setup appears:
Please help me...

Hi @NafirKeyh ,
I see that you are experiencing issues installing the printer on Windows 7. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue. Disabling the Startup programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software should prevent any interference during the installation.
Fatal Error 'Error 1603. A fatal error occurred during installation' (MSI Error 1603) Displays Durin...
How is the printer going to be connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

PLEASE HELP: Cannot Install Driver For SB Live CT4

Hi, guys. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My computer's pretty old. It's a Dell Dimension 8200 that I bought in 200.
I recently did a fresh install of Windows XP, because I like to do so every half year or so to keep my computer running smoothly. This time, however, for some reason it's been giving me issues with detecting the sound card and whatnot.
I opened up the motherboard and it says the product model is the Creative Sound Blaster Li've! CT4780. I went to both the Dell and Creative support pages to download/install the appropriate drivers, but every time I do so I am incessantly barraged with the following message:
"Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio Card on your system. Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will now exit."
I have no idea WHY it's not detecting it, so I opened up the motherboard again and made sure the sound card looked to be securely in place. Still, I get the same message.
Also: when I go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Device Manager, I don't see my sound card listed there. I DO, however, see a category for "Other Devices" (with a question mark beside it) that lists "Multimedia Controller" and "Multimedia Video Controller."
Could "Multimedia Controller" be my sound card?
I don't know if I'm making any sense here. Please, please help!
