Printer Canon Pixma MP620, Wifi problem

I have a new Canon Pixma printer mp620 (USB / LAN / wifi)
I can not get the printer with the wifi ?
It works well with USB cable directly on the iMac!
This printer is used in a wireless network with a Windows XP computer with a wireless modem router USRobotics
What is wrong with the iMac ?
Tips: the printer works well in wireless with the PC WinXP
Canon doesn't propose new driver on www.canon.com !
Thank you in advance ...

If you want to connect to the MP620 via wireless, then the instructions are stating that you need to have your wireless access point (the wireless router) ready and you need to know some information about the router, such as its SSID (its name) and any password you will need to connect to it.
The setup is pretty easy. It's just the manual tries to cover too many options.
First you must have the printer driver installed and be connected to it via USB. This is so you can communicate with the printer to configure the network (LAN) settings.
With the printer appearing in the Printer list, you can open the printer queue and select Utility. From the new window, select the Printer shown as a USB device and click the Network tab. This will guide you through connecting it to your wireless network. This is where you need to know your access point information. Once the printer is connected to your wireless network, you will be prompted to turn off the machine and then unplug the USB cable. When you turn the printer back on, you can then add the printer queue again, this time for the network connection. As others have said above, select to Add then select More Printers > Canon IJ Network. The MP620 should appear in the list, which you select and then click Add. Now you are ready to print...

  • Print from my ipad to my CANON PIXMA MP620 wireless printer?

    Is there any way to print from my ipad to my CANON PIXMA MP620 printer configured as a wireless printer?  I see several apps in the app store (e.g., "CANON Easy Photo Print"), but the MP620 doesn't show up on the list of printers supported by the app.

    See if Canon has an app to print to you or use a 3rd party solution like Print Central or Printopia.

  • Bluetooth Printing to Pixma MP620

    Just bought a new Macbook and a Canon Pixma MP620 with a bluetooth adapter. I was able to install the drivers and configure the Bluetooth so that the Macbook sees the printer. However, when I try to print, I can see the adapter flash several times, then nothing. I get a 311 error that says the printer is either in use, or an error has occurred (DUH!!). For grins, I loaded the printer driver on two Windows laptops I have with Bluetooth adapters. They both print to printer just fine. Any ideas why the Mac won't print?

    The Canon supplied driver will work with the machine when connected via Bluetooth.
    But you need to ensure you have the correct model of adapter. I found that there was two models of Canon Bluetooth adapters; the BU-20 and the BU-30. I had the BU-20 for a previous model and fitted this to my MP970 thinking it would work. However, while I was able to add the printer, I was not able to print to it (I cannot remember if there was an error code appearing). After I checked with Canon support, I learnt that I needed the BU-30 for my model. After purchasing the BU-30 then creating a new queue, I was able to print.
    I also remember having some trouble with adding the printer using Print & Fax > Add printer function. I recommend using the Bluetooth > Setup Bluetooth device option to add the printer queue.

  • Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170' - however, I get Error during installation

    Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170'  -
    I followed the following steps mentioned on some site:
    "Follow below steps to setup Canon MG3100 printer to wifi using WPS function (by a button push on the wireless router/access point)
    Press and hold maintenance button on printer. (button with screw driver and cutting pair symbol)
    Now the LED should flash as '_'
    Press and hold 'Fit to Page" button, now LED should flash as single dash moving vertically.
    Once the LED flash is confirmed, press and hold WPS button on router/access point for about five seconds.
    Printer should stop the flashing and LED should be back to normal displaying '1'.
    This completes the setup and you are ready to use your printer wireless ".
    However,
    1.LED on my printer flashes 1-2-3-E instead of a steady 1.
    2. Error message during installation : "An error occurred while communicating with the printer"
    3. Im using a netgear router - and I don't know what is an access point and how to configure it for the printer.
    4. I think I pressed the right button - (WPS button) - button with symbol  having a tower emitting waves.
    My installation as a result - failed. Need your help.

  • How can i connect my printer canon pixma mg7150

    Hello,
    I don't find the good driver for my printer CANON PIXMA MG7150, and i use a usb cable.
    Is it good ?
    Thanks

    I have been setting up the same printer this week, with a USB cable  to my iMac. I have taken Mac printer drivers from the Canon site.   Here is a link that I used.
    http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/ InkJet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG7150.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:14-1 091005&os=OS%20X%20v10.9&language=EN
    Apple have notified that they have newly updated printer drivers for this printer, which you can download if you have the other drivers in place.
    Hope this helps.

    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.

  • HT2250 I have an Apple network utility that with the previous printer (Canon PIXMA iP 5000) found the printer on the Network for use on a wi fi system but a newish printer (Canon MG6150) does not show up as Bonjour.  Is that correct?

  • Canon Pixma MG7150 wifi connection problems

    We recently purchased a Canon Pixma MG7150 printer so that we could wirelessly connect to our windows 7 laptop, and all our apple devices. 
    We were able to set up the printer following the instructions and it worked no problem.  However, everytime we now go to print something we are constantly getting a message saying airprinter not found when trying to print from ipad/iphones.  All the iphones/ipads have the latest ios software on them so that is not a probelm and the printer has the latest firmware too.
    There is no problem with ink either.
    I tried to print a photo from my ipad and in the canon pimxa app on ipad it shows the canon mg7100 series but when I go to print it says airprinter not found. 
    The whole point of buying this printer was so that we could print via wi-fi but the only way to resolve this issue is to reset the hub everytime you want to print something which is extremely frustrating to the point that we now regretting buying the printer. 
    If anyone can help or advice how to resolve this issue it would be much appreciated.

    Hi 
    I originally posted this, and thought that I had managed to fix the problem.  BUT the solution was very short lived.  I am becoming extremely frustrated by the whole issue.  The only way to connect wirelessly is to reboot my BT HH3 so that it can find the printer.
    I disabled the settings so that IPV/4 was the only one used and also the wireless lan DRX setting was set to disabled too. 
    I spoke to Canon who said that it could be the fault of BT so speak to them.  They are basically saying that the connection is fine and that it a canon problem.  I am going round in circles here without any solution to the problem about connecting to the printer. 
    BT will not give me a static IP address unless I am a broadband business customer. 
    Does anyone have any suggestions how I can resolve this.  I have tried resetting the printer and hh back to factory settings and starting over again.  It works for a short period then stops. 
    If anyone can help I would be grateful as getting very very frustrated here.

  • Problem using a shared printer Canon PIXMA MG5140

    Hi
    I have a Canon PIXMA MG5140 Multifunction Printer Which is shared on my XP machine.
    I have installed the drivers on my XP and my MBP also Printer is working fine when it's connected to each one of these machines via USB.
    I have also added my printer on my Mac as a shared printer, but when I try to print something on my shared printer it's staying there with the status Printing on my mac and on the other side on my XP machine the job is added to my printer with the status spooling and it's not going to do anything, even waiting for 20 minutes doesn't help, it's not printing.
    I have another printer shared on my XP machine and it's working fine with my MBP.
    I also have another XP client which can work with both of my printers on my XP machine so I think there is something wrong on the mac side.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you have the printer shared by Windows you cannot use the driver supplied by Canon. Instead you need to look at an alternate driver, such as those offered by [Gutenprint|http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php] or [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net>.
    Gutenprint is preferred because it is free while PrintFab costs €49. However the MG series is not yet listed as a supported model of printer with the latest version of Gutenprint so you may be forced to look at using PrintFab, which does list the MG series as a supported printer - although they don't list an 5140 but have the 5120 and 5150.
    With PrintFab installed you can then add the printer via the Windows browser of Add Printer. And then for the Print Using menu you can select the MG PrintFab driver.

  • Canon PIXMA MP640 WiFi on Arch Linux x86_64

    I have a Canon PIXMA MP640 series multifunctional device connected wirelessly to my home router. On Windows Vista the device works flawlessly, I can print or scan without any problems. Now I decided to configure at least the printer part on my Arch Linux x86_64, which I dual-boot with Vista on the same laptop.
    I went through the Wiki entry for CUPS and SAMBA. I did install all the necessary packages, that is:
    1) cups (ver. 1.4.6), ghostscript (ver. 9.01), gsfonts (ver. 1.0.7pre44) - for CUPS
    2) cnijfilter-mp640 (ver. 3.20) and its dependencies: cnijfilter-common (ver. 3.00), lib32-libcups, lib32-popt - drivers for this particular model
    3) samba (ver. 3.5.6) and gamin (ver. 0.1.10) – for SAMBA
    Then I added cups and samba to DAEMONS section of the /etc/rc.conf file
    DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng !network @netfs @crond hal alsa wicd bluetooth laptop-mode !openntpd @cups @samba)
    copied Samba configuration file
    cp /etc/samba/smb.conf.default /etc/samba/smb.conf
    in which I changed only one entry – name of my workgroup, and then I restarted my system.
    In System Settings as root I went to Sharing→Samba and checked if everything seems fine – see print screen below.
    http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/300/samba1.png
    Then in Printer Configuration I chosed New network printer and I tried to fill all the boxes with information I have about my printer – see below. I also pointed to the specific .ppd file - /usr/share/cups/model/canonmp640.ppd.
    http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6650/samba2.png
    The printer name and it's localization I got from my router – see below.
    http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/3982/samba3.png
    As you all see on print screen No 2 I'm getting “Bad URI – need printer name” error from CUPS. I “googled” about it, but still haven't been able to solve this issue. What am I doing wrong?

    No hints??? I believe it's related to Samba. I don't know how to configure it properly, so it can find my WiFi printer.

  • Buying new all-in-one printer- canon pixma series?

    hi!
    i really wanna replace my hp 5610 with a better, faster printer.
    * fax
    * duplex (feeder ofc) scanner
    * duplex printing
    * five ink cartridges (not combined)
    * network access: ethernet OR wifi. which will connect to the router; wireless or wired.
    **cheap black ink**
    well, i checked out canon pixma series. the real problem is that i dont know what "mac support" mean. at my hp 5610, hp say the printer is mac cimpatible. but as i worked with windows and mac, i can honestly say the mac support is as good as nothing... just to add "mac supported" at the features.
    i am a student so i will print much @ black. plus i always scan my papers so i really need duplex scaning too.
    what do you say about the canon pixma mx860 model?
    if you can recommend other models (*not HP!!!!*) i will love to know.
    thanks!

    I would actually recommend the [PIXMA MX870|http://www.canon.com.au/en-AU/For-You/Printers/PIXMA-InkJet-Printers/MX870].
    It has 5 individual tanks with a high volume black tank for text printing.
    Duplex document feeder
    Wireless or Ethernet support
    Mac OS X printer and scanner driver included as part of Apple Software Update
    well my hp (which *****) also have "mac support" via apple software update. the peoblem is that its features lacking and even the simplest operations like increasing brightness/contrast are missing.
    i would prefer the manufacturer's software is its full featured + ofc mac supported.
    Bruce De Benedictis wrote:
    I am very happy with my MX 850, a predecessor. I use it for most of my printing, except that I have a color laser printer for really big jobs. I suspect that the cost of consumables is comparable on both printers, as 5-8 ink cartridges print about the same as a laser cartridge, and cost about the same as well. Maybe the laser is a bit more expensive, when the other consumables are taken into account.
    Scanning is very convenient. I also use the printer as a card reader, although the computer cannot write to them.
    do you use canons software or the apple built-in? can you set a new profile with higher brightness+higher contrast?
    what about the duplex feature? for scanning? works well? fast? those kind of details usually arent taking into consideration either at specs nor reviews

  • Printing to Windows Printer (Canon Pixma iP1500)

    I have a Canon Pixma iP1500 connected to my Windows PC, shared on my home network. On my MacBook I can see the Windows PC and can even see the printer but when I add it the model doesn't show up in the list of printer types.
    If I plug in the printer directly to the MacBook it works fine but not across the network.
    I have searched the forums and found some suggestions, none of which work. I even tried something called "PrintFab" and it doesn't work either.
    This is so frustrating. I'm a new Mac user and I want to be able to print from my MacBook without having to plug it into the printer.
    Any suggestions?

    Greg
    I too am new to Mac. I downloaded and installed the printfab trial version and followed the instructions included. This problem has been driving me nuts for several days now... My MBP now see's and PRINTS great so far, thanks for your post and help!!

  • Borderless printing - Canon Pixma mini 320

    Printing from Aperture2.1 to my Canon Pixma mini 32 printer, I am unable to do a borderless 4 by 6 print. When using "Print Image" 4" * 6" (borderless) was selected, Layout options set to "scale to 4 * 6). No borderless printing is achieved.
    Canon says that this is an Aperture problem.
    Any suggestions?

    You've marked your question as answered, even though no answer has been posted. I just ran into this problem myself, so I thought I'd post a link to the most likely solution:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302816
    The article is from 2005, by the way. I wonder why Apple doesn't seem to want to fix this obvious bug? Why should it matter in which order the settings are made? Apple usually understands user-friendly design, but maybe they should give their Aperture team an extra training course on that subject...
