Printer communication error, canon mx870 prints one time then communication error on next print job

I have a canon mx870. It keeps sending a message that there is a communication error. I then re enter my network key and restart the printer and my macbook pro. It will print a few times then the message returns. My PC is also connected to the network and does not get this message. Any suggestions?

Hi c,
There were some updates addressing printing issues. Run Software Update, update whatever's there, and see if that helps.

    Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

    Have you tried clearing DW's program cache yet? That's usually my first step if something "just started happening"...
    Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Server updates can cause DW to need a setting change. Have you already tried toggling Use Passive FTP in your site settings yet?
    Has anything changed on your local network, like an update to a firewall?
    If you are connected via wireless router, a low likelihood but possible thing to test would be a wireless router problem. Try connecting the computer directly to your modem, bypassing the wireless router (if you aren't using an all in one modem/router setup) to see if that makes any difference.

  • I cannot print wirelessly to Canon PIXMA 560 using Airport Extreme and Vista PC.  Printer worked fine with Netgear previously.  With USB from printer direct to Laptop it will print.  The printer is definitely set up correctly to acknowledge the router.  W

    When I connect the printer to the Airport via USB and run Bonjour, it recognizes that I have a Canon printer but does not have the mp560 as one of the choices.
    I spoke with Apple support but they could not help...they said they thought it was a Windows issue and that it had something to do with one of the ports needing to get "unstuck" or something like that...this is really annoying because while the Airport is so much better than the Netgear it defeats the purpose of having the wireless printer, which worked so well previously.
    Can anyone offer advice?  Thanks.

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers. 
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • I can no longer print to my Canon MX870.

    It just stopped working recently with "communications error".  I have reinstalled the driver from the Canon website and have tried everything but it wont print. However, I can still scan wirelessly from my computer but when I print it says its busy. What to do?
    I tried to install another printer (HP 6100 series) and it only installed the fax. It says the software is available and then I try it, and Apple says its not available. It seems no printer wants to work with my Mac.
    I have installed Apple Software updates, rebooted, shut down, etc. Not sure if there is a plug in that is preventing it from printing.

    You might try removing it from your Print & Scan list then readd it making sure it's detected. If you Mac has everything it needs, you should see some entries for your printer for Bonjour and after a few seconds, your actual printer should show up. I'm assuming you're using your printer wirelessly?

  • I keep getting an error window saying that this URL is invalid and cannot be loaded. If I exit this window the page loads or the error message reappears a few times then the page loads. Frustrating. Started about 9 months ago.

    This only seems to happen using FF3.6.6, not IE.
    The page will eventually load but it may need this error closed a few times. Some pages load without problems. I'm using XP SP3 on an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3Gb.
    Also after a recent FF update on an Apple MacPro 8 core (about 2-3 months ago) , OS10.5 - I keep being asked to approve the use of a couple of fonts despite ticking "do not ask again"....

  • Facetime between MacBook Air and iPad2 worked only one time, then hasn't worked since..

    My husband and I are trying to use Facetime since we are living apart this summer.  It worked once before I left town, but hasn't worked since then.
    I have a MacBook Air, OSX 10.6.7
    He has an iPad 2
    Both have Facetime set up.  We share the apple Id between the machines, but the apple id has been deleted as a contact email from the iPad. 
    The Air can call the iPad; but when my husband tried to accept the call, it just keeps saying "connecting" or something like this.  The call doesn't go thru.
    The iPad cannot seem to reach the Air (I don't see that the iPad has called me).
    I am often using a university wifi system, so i thought firewalling might be a problem, but my roommate doesn't have an issue with it for her facetime (she is using an iPad).
    Any ideas?

    Update:  Above roommate just tried Facetime with me (she has an iPad).  The exact same thing happened as with my husband...my call to her showed on her iPad but the call didn't connect.  Her call to me didn't even show up on my machine.  So, it appears to be an issue with my MacBook Air...

  • 400MB fre one minute then 3GB free the next...dumb question...

    ok, so I have my macbook filled with 10,000 plus of photos. I know i know I need to back them up and delete them from my hard drive. but my question is this. From time to time I do delete files little by little. And for example I checked and It said I had 3 GB free then after doing one thing or another it says I only have 400 MB free. Why?
    Thanks for any insight on the matter!

    It also depends on how many applications are running on your system. The virtual memory manager would resize the pagefile on your hard drive to boost the amount of available memory is available to your applications if need be. Thus, the radical fluctuation of hard drive free space.

  • Canon printer MP620 and Mac OSX 10.7.5 not communicating

    After having to reset my Airport Extreme because it was not communicating over WiFI with my ios devices (iPad and iPhone), it has apparently knocked off the printer communication capabilities.  Got a "communication error" message.  Per some of the forums,  I went into preferences/(print and scan) and deleted the printer hoping to add it back in and am now stuck.  The add printer dialog box is greyed out and will not add a printer.  I added all the current driver updates. Before I just tether the computer to the back of the Mac via USB to print that way, I was hoping there might be a solution to restore wireless communication.  Anyone have any solutions?

    But when I tried to print wirelessly, it gave the message "printer not connected" with a yellow lightning bolt.
    If you tried to print using the MP620 printer that was created for the USB connection, then you will get this "printer not connected" message because the printer USB cable is not physically connected to the Mac.
    If you only have the one MP620 printer in Print & Scan then you will need to create another printer for when the MP620 is connected to your wireless. To do this, with Print & Scan open, click the plus button and with the Default view selected you should see the MP620. Note that it may first show with Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column. This is for the scanner component. If you wait a bit longer, a second MP620 should appear showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. Select this one and the Print Using menu should change to Canon MP620 series. Click Add to complete and then try a print to this MP620.
    Another thing to note. With 2 MP620's appearing in the printers list, you want to make sure you know which is the correct one. By selecting say the USB connected printer (which will show your computers name in the Location field when you select it in Print & Scan) you can change its name by selecting Options & Supplies then the General tab. In the Name field you may want to change this to MP620 USB. Or change the wireless connection to MP620 WiFi.

  • Can i use my new I pad with the Canon MX870 printer?

    Can I use a I PAD 2 with me Canon MX870 Printer?

    The Canon MX870 is not on Apple's AirPrint list of supported printers:
    AirPrint basics
    So you would have to find some Canon app or some third party app in the App Store to do some limited printing from iPad.

  • Can I print wirelessly using my iPhone to a printer that I have connected to a time capsule?

    I have a printer connected via USB port on the time capsule, and I have the printer shared throughout the network. The printer is not an ePrint model. Since the printer is in my network, can I use my iphone or ipad to print documents?

    If you have a Mac running on the network, try Printopia.
    There is a free trial, so you will know if will work before you buy. There are other apps that can do this as well, but I cannot offer a specific recommendation.

  • 11.5.10.2:One time delivery address doesnot work as documented

    Hi All,
    I am trying to use one time delivery address feature.
    when I am creating requisition in iprocurement, on delivery information page , I am
    entering one time delivery address . However after I create a requisition and then buyer queries this requisition from form he doesnot see any attachment at line level. so I am wondering whether we are missing something here.
    Also my another doubt is when requisition is autocreated in PO will the same attachment will be carried to PO.
    Best Regards
    Abhijeet

    I think I made some mistakes earlier , now its working :)-
    I can see shipment level attachment in my Purchase Order.
    Only problem now is that if I print this PO it show Address that you type under Oralce Location "One Time Address" (This address you would enter in oracle setup screen locations when you setup this location ) under "Ship to" heading and actual one time address entered in requisition is printed below that.
    User will want this PO to only print "one time address entered in requisition".
    Is there any way to make it work?

  • I am trying to run facetime for the first time, marks an error, I am trying to run facetime for the first time, marks an error

    Hi! Need help to run facetime, for the first time.
    An error occurs everytime I try, I quit as its says, but not working

    Hello Vivmex,
    It sounds like you are getting the following message, "An internal FaceTime error occurred: There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again." 
    This message comes up if you double click on the FaceTime icon on the dock.  If you single click the FaceTime icon on the dock, FaceTime should launch normally:
    Symptoms
    When opening FaceTime from the Dock, the following alert message may appear:
    "An internal FaceTime error occurred. There was a problem with FaceTime. You need to quit and open FaceTime again."
    Resolution
    Click the FaceTime icon in the Dock one time, then wait for the application to finish opening.
    Additional Information
    This can happen if you attempt to open FaceTime a second time while it is already loading, such as by clicking the FaceTime Dock icon more than once.
    You can find the full article here:
