Printer Install failure for Canon or HP printer - utter disaster

One day, several months ago, I decided to unplug my working Canon iP6700d from my Imac Duo Core (all updates installed).
I plugged it into a Windows computer - where it works fine - I tried using it again on my iMac... and IT NEVER WORKED AGAIN ON THE IMAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried everything those people at Canon recommended - over and over I uninstalled the Canon software, etc. etc. Logged in as ROOT user and tried it... etc. etc.
Then I even tried my HP Printer at work - brought it home. Tried to install it to my iMac. Realized?
IT'S NOT THE CANON PRINTER!!!! REPEAT: IT'S NOT THE PRINTER!!!
IT'S THE MAC! IT WON'T INSTALL THE HP PRINTER EITHER!
So - I stopped trying to use my new-ish iMac to print.
End of story.
That *****.
As usual, with computers - these problems take hours to resolve and waste parts of days.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
So tell us what you do to maintain your Mac? What is your routine daily, weekly and monthly? What do you do after software updates? What do you normally do to troubleshoot Mac OS X issues?

Pavillion dv6000: "Device driver" install failure for DVD/CD drive

The laptop does not install the DVD/CD drive anymore. Message says the driver for this device failed to install. It is not assigned a drive letter in Win Explorer. Device Manager shows the drive as recognized, but has the yellow triangle/exclamation point...Properties says driver is missing or corrupt. Needless to say, I know of no "driver" for a CD drive (in modern machines, at least), and nothing related shows up in the driver list on HP webstie for this laptop. I did reinstall the chipset drivers as well as some other driver updates; no change. Re-seating the drive didn't help.
I also replaced the original drive with another, and got the same result...driver install failure.
Any solutions?
Thanks

Yes you need to remove upper and lower filters from the registry. Microsoft has a KnowledgeBase article about it with an autofix, but I have had better luck manually editing the registry:

ROracle 1.1-4 install failure for R 64 only: R version 2.15.0, Rtools215

Hi,
I'm able to build and install ROracle for R 32 but not for R 64. My problem seems to be related to the configuration script (configure.win) calling "x86_64-w64-mingw32-dlltool"in the case of the arch 64 build.
Versions Used: ROracle 1.1-4, R version 2.15.0, Rtools 2.15.
Following the install instructions, when running "R CMD INSTALL --build --merge-multiarch ROracle_1.1-4.tar.gz", all goes fine for the 32 bits install (all is working fine thereafter in R 32) but when trying to build the 64 bits version, I get the following error:
generating ocimingw.lib from ocimingw.def
x86_64-w64-mingw32-dlltool: not found
gcc.exe: error: ocimingw.lib: No such file or directory
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'ROracle'
So I tried to add "C:\Rtools\gcc-4.6.3\i686-w64-mingw32\bin" to PATH and rename "dlltool" within it to "x86_64-w64-mingw32-dlltool". But in this case, when trying to compile ROracle.dll file, it is said that the generated "ocimingw.lib" file is not recognized:
gcc -m64 -shared -s -static-libgcc -o ROracle.dll tmp.def rodbi.o rooci.o -L. oc
imingw.lib -Ld:/RCompile/CRANpkg/extralibs64/local/lib/x64 -Ld:/RCompile/CRANpkg
/extralibs64/local/lib -LC:/Users/.../R/R-215~1.0/bin/x64 -lR
ocimingw.lib: file not recognized: File truncated
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'ROracle'
Moreover, in the file "configure.win" inside the package archive, it is said in the commentaries that "# oci.lib generated by 32-bit or 64-bit dlltool works on both versions". And last, the two dlltool.exe files (32 and 64) provided by Rtools 2.15 are exactly the same (I used WinDiff (x64) to check this).
Really disappointing, am I wrong somewhere ? I guess that the real problem may be related to Rtools and the MinGW W64 tools there provided but... ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best Regards,
Mehdi

Mehdi,
Below we suggest a workaround that should allow you to proceed with building a usable version of ROracle-1.1.4 for 64 bit windows.
We are working on an update to ROracle that addresses the problem you have found.
To provide some context to the problem:
RTools-2.15 has deprecated x86_64-w64-mingw32-dlltool. This tool was present in the previous distribution/versions of RTools.
We use this tool in ROracle build process to generate a .lib file from OCI dll files. We did the .lib generation solely to try to accommodate
ROracle into the CRAN windows build environment so we are able to provide ROracle as a binary distribution on windows platforms.
However this mechanism did not pan out - not for any technical reason but rather due to OCI related licensing reasons. So ROracle continues
to be a source code only distribution on CRAN for windows.
We are working on reverting back to using OCI dll files directly, which will remove dependency on x86_64-w64-mingw32-dlltool
and the latest changed to RTools-2.15 has forced us to make this change more quickly.
In the meantime, please follow the steps below to work around dependency on x86_64-w64-mingw32-dlltool
1. Modify Makvars.win in Roracle/src directory to use: "PKG_LIBS=-L. -loci" instead of "PKG_LIBS=-L. ocimingw.lib"
2. Change configure.win in ROracle as follows:
Delete the the following lines:
# generate import library for mingW from ocimingw.def. oci.lib from msvc is
# not compatible with it.
# NOTE: If necessary one can use pexports.exe or dumpbin to generate the
# oci.def file.
# download pexports.exe and run "pexports ${ROCI_LIB}/oci.dll > ocimingw.def"
# or run "dumpbin /exports oci.dll"
# oci.lib generated by 32-bit or 64-bit dlltool works on both versions
echo "generating ocimingw.lib from ocimingw.def"
if [ $R_ARCH = '/x64' ]; then
x86_64-w64-mingw32-dlltool input-def ./src/ocimingw.def dllname OCI.DLL --output-lib ./src/ocimingw.lib -k
else
dlltool input-def ./src/ocimingw.def dllname OCI.DLL --output-lib ./src/ocimingw.lib -k
fi
Add the following in its place:
# copy OCI libraries
echo "copying from" ${ROCI_LIB}
cp ${ROCI_LIB}/oci.dll ./src
cp ${ROCI_LIB}/orannzsbb11.dll ./src
cp ${ROCI_LIB}/oraociei11.dll ./src
Thank you

How install driver for Canon pixma iP 1200 printer?

I found in AUR driver for pixma iP 1500 (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd)
and install it.
And found driver for printer pixma iP 4200 http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd.
Do driver pixma iP 1500 good for my printer, Canon pixma iP 1200? Or maybe need install other driver?

Hi newlife4rich,
Before you go through the effort of reinstalling the drivers, I think this might be an issue on the pritner side. What error are you getting on the computer? Also, do you get any error codes on the printer as well like E 1, E 2, etc..?

Just installed drivers for Canon mp258 but can't locate them on my imac G5 and cant print??

I have spent 2 days downloading every Canon mp258 driver I can find for mac as I am unable to find any sign of the drivers on my imac. The printer should appear in system preferences, printer & fax but it is not there! Have read all the literature from Canon and there should not be a problem using this printer with OS 10.6.8?? What am I doing wrong?
Any ideas??
Cheers sarah

Adding Canon printers can be a little strange at times. You mentioned you were trying to add the printer on a Mac G5 system? What OS is it running? Your profile says you have an iMac with Mac OS 10.6.8 - this is confusing since 10.6.x cannot run on PPC machines. Do you mean 10.5.8?

Installed driver for Canon MP640 printer but when I use comes up with communication error

Hello
I have just purchased a new IMac and have had very little to do with Apple before so everything is foreign. I used the help desk today to download the driver for my printer Canon MP640 which came up as connected with the green light. When I went to print my first document it is now coming up with an error that ther is a "communication error". I am not a techno person and don't have a great deal of patience with technology.
Please helllppp.

Cannot find the installed driver for Canon Pixma ip6600D

Hello,
I'm pretty new with Mac and OS X and got one problem to use a previous installed driver.
First, please excuse my bad english, I'll do my very best
I've got a Buffalo Linkstation Live 320GB with implemented USB Ports.
You can take the USB Port to use with a printer.
The Linkstation will be a Windows Printserver.
I've connected a Canon Pixma ip6600D at USB Port one and all works fine with Windows XP and Vista via network.
Printing with this Network device uses Windows Network-printing like -> workgroup\buffalo\lp (lan printer)
With Windows this works very well. But now im using OS X Leopard.
So I've downloaded the Canon Mac OS X 10.5 Driver for the ip6600D (can be used for Network printing) and installed it.
OS X wants to reboot, so I think the extension is installed fine.
After this im going to "System adjustments" -> "Printers and Fax" -> "Windows" -> "Workgroup" -> "buffalo" -> "lp"
The Printer is found and here comes my problem: The ip6600D driver does not appear in the drop down list. Only Gutenprint ip6700.
I'm able to print with this driver, but it doesn't work very well and im not able to use CD printing.
So, wehere ist the ip6600D driver? Lost in nowhere?
If I want to search for the driver, nothing could be found.
Searching with Spotlight for ip6600 doesn't find something to use.
Only the installer image of the driver and some web links.
How do I choose the installed ip6600D driver?
Thank you much for any help.

Since there doesn't appear to be an iP6600 driver within the Gutenprint v5.1.3 list, then you could try one of the other iP models, like the iP5200. The key is to find a model that uses the same ink tanks as your iP6600D (and preferably the same engine but that is not as easy to find). If one of the other IP models doesn't help, then you could try the S800. With older versions of Gutenprint I would recommend this model as it would be good enough for text printing, but not that good for images.
If you are unable to find a compatible printer then you may have to look at changing some things. The Canon printer driver has not been designed to be used on the Mac OS X when the printer is being shared by Windows, hence the need to Gutenprint. If this model is not supported in later versions of Gutenprint, then you could look at using PrintFab (which you will have to pay for) or changing the network setup so that the printer is not connected to Windows, such as getting an Airport Express/Extreme. This would allow both OS's to connect to the printer using the Canon driver. Or you could connect the printer to the Mac and get Windows to connect to the Mac share using Bonjour for Windows.

How can users remedy install failure for Windows Photoshop CS6 v13.0.2?

Error code U44M1P7 is obviously a catchall for any of several possibilities. The suggestion to manually download the update is useless. It isn't available. (A bad link leads to Mac version.) As for the other possibility, many other users and I have deleted the unneeded language files either by use of a cleanup utility or manually, on purpose. Any installer that has unspecific error codes, while not allowing for a sensible change that economizes space needs to be rewritten. An awful lot is riding on the integrity of the Adobe Download Manager, and its occasional failures are maddening. I run CC and CS6 Creative Suites, and I need to keep them both because CC has 'broken' so many plugins.
It would be very helpful to know where ADM puts downloaded files and have an option to save them before installing. It took me two runthroughs to get CC installed and I've tried for the CS6 update four times so far with no copy of the installer to reuse. At its best, ADM is lethargic to respond, and there remains the statistical near-certainty that the site will be down when someone needs to use it. Personally, I think the 'Cloud' is a lousy paradigm. I know I'm not the only one who looks back fondly on the days of physical media, or at very least downloads that could be burned to physical media. The whole cloud thing is still in its infancy, and a lot of user time iwasted while Adobe learns (and invents) the ropes. Maybe one day, when there is a 100% installed base of high speed fiber optic connections, the cloud will make our lives easier. It certainly hasn't done so yet.

No worries Kloaster – you should just be able to use the direct links instead to get whichever Adobe applications you want and copy/save the offline installers for backup or burn to DVD for later reuse whenever or wherever you want:
All Adobe CS6 Direct Links, without the Download Manager or Assistant
and/or
All Adobe CC Direct Links, without the Application Manager or Desktop App

Good day,
Michael is correct, you must have Service Pack 3 for Windows XP installed before you may install the trial of Acrobat X.

Install failure for Aperture 3 on my MacBook Pro. Operating on Lion.

I am trying to install Aperture 3 on my MacBook Pro. I am operating on Lion and my software is up to date. Any clues as to what is goin on? Do I have a bad disk?

Just a hunch: If you are trying to install from an installation DVD or older disk image, and you get the message
"check with the developer to make sure Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X"
you may have a problem with an expired developer certificate (they expired mid march).
To fix this, set the Date in " SystemPreferences -> Date&Time" to a date well before March 2012 and run the Installer again. If that succeeds and Aperture now runs , reset the date to te current date.
If not, please post back answer and Tony's question ....

Install failure for LaserJet M1212nf

Greetings to the well of knowledge...
I am attempting an installation of a LaserJer M1212nf on a Dell thin client device running Windows 7 Embedded. I have done this successfully on the same device other times but I cannot seem to get past the driver installation. The installation is failing when trying to install the MFP driver; the Windows driver installation dialog just shows "Failed".
I saved the installation log and the setupapi.app log, each of which are indicating some sort of error(s) occurring but I cannot make out what they are telling me.
Can someone look at these logs and tell me what's going on?
Thanks,
Ken Carter

Yes, it happens sometimes. Had you tried the Safe Mode install and it didn't work, that would have been my next suggestion. Did they give you a new disk? It's good news that you are up and running but you still need the install DVD. If they didn't replace that, get another from Apple.

Different Mac (PPC) OS X install failure

I seem to be having a different install failure for Flash
Player 9 on a Mac (PPC) OS X.
I tried all of the various solutions listed for other Player
9 failures with no luck (permissions, uninstalls, etc...)
When I run the installer it stalls out with 4 items left to
install while trying to search the hard drive. I even left it
running all night one night to see if it was just searching the
drive slowly. The installer isn't crashing as I can stop the
install by hitting the stop button.
One thing of note, is that I've had a few times (not all
times) when I cancel the install that the Flash Player will work in
the browser (I'm using Safari 3.0), however when the browser is
closed and reopened, Flash Player appears to not be installed. So,
I'm assuming in the act of canceling the install, there is some
form of a partial install that actually allows Flash Player to work
temporarily.
Anybody have ideas on this issue?
Mike
Flash Player 9 (both PPC installer & Universal Binary
Installer)
PowerBook G4 OS 10.4.10
Safari 3.03

Well after doing some additional playing, I discovered a fix.
I opened FireFox and installed Flash Player from within
Firefox instead of Safari.
Safari began to work immediately. Solution has held even
after restart.

Jre 1.6u7 install failure

Continuing install failures for jre 1.6u7 and 1.6u10(rc) on Windows, SP2. I have two users with desktop machines trying to install jre 1.6.07 for oracle discoverer. So 10 installs went ok, but 2 machines won't install/run jre 1.6u7 properly. They previously had installed jre's 1.4 and 1.5, various updates to those. Have uninstalled and installed 1.6 numerous times, but the java control panel will not open. Frequently the installer hangs on "Gathering Required Information". We kill the msiexec.exe, restart machine, add/remove the java, eventually install seems to run. But then, click on Start, control panel, java and nothing happens, control panel will not display. When we try to run our application, IE crashes. Original problem occurred with the install of the JRE 1.6 from the Discoverer server, download/install seemed to hang. Haved tried using the Windows Install Clean Up utility, have unregistered and registered windows installer service, have removed java and manually deleted registry entries for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Javasoft. No obvious messages from the installer, nothing in java_install_reg.log, java_install_sp.log, java_install.log. Errors in Windows Event Viewer for Application for the conflict when we hadn't completed the previous install previously, but the reboot semed to get us past that.
Any ideas on how I debug this issue, why javacpl.exe won't run?
Thanks.

To clarify again, this is a runtime error rather than an install error.
If this is not obvious to the point of being annoying, I would think that it is your task to try and isolate what it is that makes those two machines different. Are all of your machines supposed to be mirrors of each other? I can understand that your request is driven by hoping for a hint of where to look on those machines for their relevant differences, but it strikes me as unlikely that we can provide a clue here.
You might want to start by just going to the Control Panels of a machine that works and a machine that does not work and looking for differences in install software. You suggest that they are all at SP2 and I would not expect this sort of problem to be service-pack related.
Is there a possibility that those two systems are corrupt (failing hard drive, virus, etc)? Is is possible to just clone a working system onto the two misbehaving ones? I realize that my response does not address a Java-specific issue, but you problem does not strike me as being specific to Java.
