  • "the printer is not connected" - computer idiot needs to know how to fix

    I have two printers that have been working find with my iMac (OS Lion)...a Brother hl-2270dw and hl-2280dw. All of a sudden neither one will print. When I go to System Preferences I see the message "the computer is not connected." I'm really an idiot when it comes to fixing something like this. Is there someone who can walk me through the repair process?  Many thanks.

    How are the printers connected?

    Hello jacm, please try to download and install a new fresh firefox version, follow the next steps:
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full dmg package)
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

  • Installed a wireless canon Pixma MX432 printer back in November for use with my Mac Book Air. All was working normally until this past week when I began getting a message, "printer not connected." What is going on? Netgear Wireless N Router seems to be ok

    My new canon Pixma MX432 printer is not printing. It was printing fine until about ten days ago. I use a Netgear Wireless N router, which is also new. What do I need to do. I get a message when trying to print that says "printer not connected." In addition, my old Gateway laptop will still print fine apparently because it has a cable connection to the printer. Puzzled!

    Have you tried rebooting the router? I would unplug it, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in. Be sure you know the password etc. if that doesn't work, try unplugging and rebooting the printer. Good luck!

    Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

  • Wifi printing after Mountain Lion upgrade, "printer not connected" error

    I have Canon MP610 printer.  Was getting error message "Looking for printer" or "Printer not connected" after upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.  Printing works fine when I directly plug in USB cord to MacBook Pro to print. However, on the wifi network, no luck.  Today I have upgraded Canon's latest driver, reset the printer system, deleted printers from system icon in System Preferences, added new printer back in..... Nothing.
    I have reset Time Capsule, where my printer USB is currently plugged into.
    Nothing.
    Please advise what to try next...??

    AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
    5.6 doesn't work with Mountain Lion, so am I stuck?
    I already had AirPort Utility 5.6 on a Lion machine and upgraded to Mountain Lion with no issues. AirPort Utiliy 5.6 works fine as does AirPort Utility 6.1.
    But, I did not try to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 since it was already on the Mac.
    Please try again and report on your results.

  • Printer not connected error in 10.10.3

    I'm getting "Printer not connected" now since I've upgraded to 10.10.3 on my Epson WF-3540 on my MBPr. My two other Macs are not having this issue, one of which is also 10.10.3 and the other 10.10.2 (a MacPro and MBP respectfully).
    I have tried the following on my MBPr:
    Delete Jobs
    Pause and restart queue
    Restarting Mac
    Restarting Printer
    Resetting Printer
    Delete and reinstall printer - Both via AirPrint and Epson drivers
    Reinstall fresh downloaded drivers
    Repeat 6 with new driver install
    SMC and PRRAM reset
    Printer can be seen easily in printer control panel for setup. Setup proceeds normally. Then when attempting to print, the queue displays "Printer not connected" error.

    If the printer works with AirPrint, you don't need the EPSON software and you should remove it. Then see below:

  • Canon ImagePROGRAF 6350 PRINTER NOT CONNECTED ERROR

    My Canon ImagePROGRAF 6350 is connected via USB to my iMac; however, I am still getting a PRINTER NOT CONNECTED ERROR. How do I fix this?

    We updated two computers on our network to 10.6.8 (from 10.5) and another (PPC iMac) to 10.5 (from 10.4). In each case, I had to first remove the printer from Print/Fax, then reinstall from the original CD, and then update to latest drivers, and then the printer worked fine. This was for a Canon 8210 Print and Scan multifunction device, so I was inferring that Canon drivers/software need to be reinstalled when updating to later versions of the OS. Hence my recommendation. The Canon website shows drivers for your device for both 10.6 and 10.7, so it appears to be usable under the latest Mac OS. It seems that if you can start from as close to "scatch" as you can and then reinstall (much as if you got the printer brand new), you have a better chance. This might involve "uninstalling" by hand if need be, to remove vestiges of the previously installed stuff.

  • My imac running lion can not connect to a Windows PC on my network

    My imac runing lion 10.7 can not connect to my Windows 7 pc on my network. When i select connect to server, I can see the windows computer but when i try to connect, i get the error message:
    Connection failed.  There was a problem connecting to the server.  Ther server may not exist or is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection and try again.
    I entered smb:// computer name and I tried smb://IP address.  Neither would connect.
    I am able to connect to the imac from my Window PC and access files but not I can not connect my iMac to the Windows PC.
    I am trying to connect the two computers so that I can use a printer that is attached to the Windows 7 pc.
    When I first downl;oaded and installed Lion, I was able to connect to the Windows 7 pc and use the printer attached to it.
    I have tried 5 or 6 different suggestions to no avail.  Both computers are up to date and the printer drivers are up to date.
    Please let me know if there is a solution.

    Be sure to make the network Workgroup name on the Mac and Windows boxes the same.
    On the Mac it is in System Preferences, Network Preferences, Advanced, WINS
    On the Windows machine check in the Control Panel where you will also find the Computer name listed. I don't have my PC running right now, so I am not sure exactly where it is. Only assign a Workgroup, do not create a Domain.
    You can also search in Windows for Workgroup.
    I can link/network Lion to Win7 and vice versa without any problems.

  • Why can I not open a new window but I can open new tabs in V3.6.16?

    I am running Firefox 3.6.16 on both my PC and my laptop. The program works fine on my PC, I can open both new windows and new tabs. However, on my laptop I can not open a new window. Tabs open just fine, but when I try to open a new window nothing happens. Also, when I close the program after trying to open a new window the program is still running but I have no Firefox window to work in and therefore have to go through the Task Manager to end the program. And when I re-open it, I get asked if I want to restore the session or start a new session. Is there a way to

  • I recently replaced my dead airport router with a netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer and yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline".

    I recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?

    You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off!  Thank you dwb!

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on  new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro will not load on  new Windows 7 Home Ultimate PC

    When I double click on the AA9 icon to initiate installation, it whirls away for a while then asks if I want to allow "this program to make changes to his computer?"  I click Yes and it begins to process again for a few minutes.  Then it displays the following Invalid Unicode file error message...and simply stops processing or installing.  In that last process, it also reaches out for whatever reason and activates the magnifier tool in Windows.
    I have thought that perhaps upgrading to a higher version of Windows might help, but who knows for sure?
    P.S. – This is a brand new HP Pavilion dv6 series computer that is more than adequate to this task.

  • Our Printer 6700 all in one shows " Printer not connected" on Mac

    Hi,
    We recently changed our router from Netgear to Lynksys. Since then we have problems to print from MAC computers and laptops.
    The Printer is connected properly to the Router, our computers as well and of course on the same network.
    The Macs recognize the printer at first and when we try to print it says 'Printer not connected".
    We reset printing system a few times and still have the same problem.
    Please help , as the printer works properly from an Sony Vaio PC but not from our Macs.

    Hi @AnthonyMiami ,
    I see that you are having issues printing over the wireless network on the Mac computers since changing your router. The PC works though. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer..
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
    Try printing.
    If you are still having issues, add the printer through the IP Protocal to see if you can print, just to rule out a network issue.
    Go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners, click on the + button, select the IP Protocal across the top, type in the printer's IPv4 address, select jet direct below and then Apply.
    Try printing.
    Please let me know the results.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Printer not connected message

    I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, and since then I am unable to print--I get the message "Printer Not Connected".   My printer is connected to my Airport Extreme router via Ethernet cable.  When I go to system preferences, then network, the firewire and the ethernet choices are red--as in not connected or not working.  When I go to advanced, after choosing ethernet, I clicked on Renew DHCP Lease, but this doesn't change anything.  Any help would be appreciated, because I use my printer all the time.  It is a Canon Pixma MG8120.
    Also, my Airport utility is saying "No configured Airport base stations have been found.  Airport Utility will continue searching."

    This is a common complaint after upgrading from Snow Leopard systems.
    Try this - reset your printing system as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Print & Scan from the View menu.
    Hold down the Option key while clicking the "-" (Remove printer) button. If no printers are currently added, hold down the Control key while clicking in the box that appears above the "+" (Add printer) button, then choose Reset printing system… from the contextual menu.
    Then, add the Canon Pixma again using the "+" button.
    What does Reset Printing System do?
    Deletes all queues and jobs.
    Resets all printer settings to their default by deleting configuration files.
    Performs a permissions check on the /tmp directory.
    Any printers, scanners, or fax modems that previously appeared in System Preferences will need to be added again after resetting the printing system.
    That should fix it.
