Printer Problems Canon MP510

I have an intel I-Mac using Mountain Lion. I have tried re-installing all software and drivers for the Canon MP510 printer. However, when I attemnpt to print any document whether that be from Mail, Pages, Safari, Word or a PDF in the print pop-up dialogue box all I get is a blank screen view. When I attempt to print all Iget is a blank page. I have done a test page and that comes out fine.
All the ink is full so not an ink related issue. Below is a screen shoot of the PRINT Dialogue box I get with not image of the actual item being printed. I have gone to Disk Utilitie Repair and re-set this. I have updated all my Canon printer software.
I have hooked up my Macbook Air and and have the same issue.

Hello Rishi,
I've attached a sample pdf file which I can print with no problems with Evince or Xpdf (using kprinter).
However, when I try to print it with Reader 8, I can see it in Kjobviewer where it sits for some time before showing "Error" under status. There are no other error messages. When I first click Print, I see for a second or so on the Canon printer screen a message saying that something is to be printed and then it reverts to standby. Also, when I next print with Evince I see the message "ps to canonij write error .32.". However, this doesn't stop subsequent printing and disappears thereafter.
Thanks for the tip about Printing as Image in Acrobat Reader 9. However, I have had to revert to Acrobat Reader 8 since Reader 9 will not save files to Windows partitions.
Regards, William

Printer problem Canon MP170 "Failed to print document" error

I have a Canon PIXMA MP 170 printer connected to the airport express via USB.
I get the error failed to print document
I pinged the IP address and it is okay. I used Bonjour and Windows to configure printer and both do not work.
I can connect to my sterio with itunes to listen to music.
I asssume it must be with my printer driver are there any solutions for this problem?
Thank you.

Possibilities:
1. Your Acrobat and OS are not compatible (you did not indicate either). It may be you had an install that was working marginally and the update from MS did it in.
2. AcroTray is not running. Try printing to the Adobe PDF printer with the print-to-file selected. Then open the file in Distiller to create the PDF. If that works, check for AcroTray in the tasks list.
3. Do a Repair of Acrobat. Sometimes the windows updates seems to cause problems and a repair is needed.

Do you have the latest drivers for the printer? Check on the Canon web site.

MP Navigator 3.0 scanner isn't working with Canon mp510 printer

Hello,
I'm using a Canon mp510 printer/scanner, using the MP Navigator software 3.0 and whenever I click on the scanner, the program shuts down completely. I have already tried to uninstall, reinstall, search for updates (and 3.0 is the latest one I have found), etc...and nothing is fixing the problem. I just recently updated to Snow Leopard and only started having the problems at that time. I know the problem is not the printer, as the computer recognizes it when I used Image Capture, but I would prefer to stick to MP Navigator and am frustrated nothing is working. Any help or suggestions?!?!

Canon Australia has [MP Navigator v3.04|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900172801.html]. If you don't already have this version (assuming your 3.0 could be 3.04) then install this latest one.
To use MP Navigator you also need to have the [Canon MP510 Scanner Driver v12.13.12|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900218401.html]
Note that Image Capture uses a different scanner driver that is included with Snow Leopard.

Not printing text-only graphics on Canon. Not printer problem-print ok on Brother and another network Apple prints ok on Canon. Believe a computer setting was inadvertently reset. What setting and how do I reset?

Without your printer model numbers, readers can only give you vague general directions.
System Preferences > Print&Fax > ...
... shows a list of all set-up printers.
If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series

3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Canon MG6220 wierd zooming/cropping printing problem, only when printing with Windows XP?

The printer in question is a Canon Pixma MG6220, connected to a WindowsXP printer. I've printed this same document on a Brother laser printer, that is connected to the same computer, and it prints correctly. I've printed this same document on a Epson inkjet printer, and it prints correctly. I've printed this same document at Staples, on one of their big laser printers, and it prints correctly. So, this printing problem is only occurring with this Canon printer. One other thing that may help you with this, is that last night I moved this Canon printer to another computer, except this one had Windows 7 on it, and it printed flawlessly! So, it seems that it may have something to do with Windows XP printer driver.
I'm printing a one page document from Word 2002 which consists of about 10 pictures, no text. All the pictures on the page are the same height but a different width. When I print the document, some of the pictures print correctly and some of them do not.
Essentially, what is happening is that some pictures are zoomed in about 50%, yet still print in the same area that is set in the document. So, the image looks like it has been rudely cropped.
The oddest thing is that this only happens to some of the pictures. There is nothing special about these pictures. The pictures that print correctly are from the same source as the ones that don't print correctly. I’ve done other Word documents like this, with the same format but different pictures, and they printed wrong too, some pictures correct and some zoomed/cropped.
Here is a summary of the pictures from the files I attached, and which ones printed correctly, and which did not: The first one is a screen capture of the Word document, and the other is a scan of the printed document.
Row 1
    Pic 1 – error (zoomed/cropped), Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
Row 2
    Pic 1 – correct, Pic 2 – correct, Pic 3 – correct
Row 3
    Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct, Pic 4 – error
Row 4
    Pic 1 – error, Pic 2 – error, Pic 3 – correct
One observation of the incorrectly printed pictures, is that the upper left corners appear unaffected. It is the lower right corners that get the weird zooming/cropping effect.

Urgently restore a backup of the registry.
Urgently do not use the word 'urgently' in a forum of volunteers.
Also it can not be urgent, as Forms 4.5 dates from the Flintstone age, and probably isn't even certified on XP.
However, the error message is very clear: Apparently Forms 4.5 uses the registry to store printer info: you need to get that entry back. That kind of info is usually documented. Documentation is likely still online.

Duplex Printing on Canon IX6560 Problem

i've got problem with duplex printing on canon ix6560, i've installed the latest driver from canon website (11.7.1.0) for OSX Maverick (10.9.5). what is the solution ?

First, check the printer specification to make sure it's capable of duplex printing. If it is, there should be a setting in the Finishing tab of the print dialog. Reportedly, Canon tech support sometimes advises customers to uninstall the existing software before installing an update.

10.6.7 update and now Canon printer problems

I had the automatic 10.6.7 update two days ago and everything is fine except now I have printer issues with Canon MF8350. I can still scan, I can print from Safari, I can print from some .pdf but not others, I am unable to print anything from Word - they all come out as blank pages. Updates from Microsoft and Canon didn't help.
If you don't know, anyone at least know how I can uninstall the update? I know how to find the updates list, but not how to get it out.

I just want to let you all know that I fixed my printing problem.
I could not add my printer under the System Preference>Print & Fax after I did the reset. But I can add the printer back to my Mac Pro by connecting the USB cable to the tower. When I connected my USB cable back to the Apple Extreme. The printer was offline. I did so many different thing still not working. Then I go the the discussion forum on Airport Express and ... I also followed a lot of advises there. Then someone give out a link on Apple support. I following the advise half way still printer was offline. Then I went to my Mac Book and to reset the printer, and add printer again, and click share this printer. I went back to my Mac Pro, and try print a page, I choose nearby printer (there was never has this option for me before). It has another printer icon with Canon MX310 series-1. Bingo, it printed from my Mac Pro also. I have two printer icons on my Mac Pro, one is the same name as the Mac book. I was very happy. It was 4 in the morning. Well, finally I could sleep good.
I am still not sure exactly what the step to make my printer work again (Trial and Error). But I learn a lot by reading advises on this forum.

Canon iRC 3580 Network Printer Problem

Hello,
I am using a Canon iRC 3580 printer connected to a network. With Snow Leoparda I was abble to print without any difficulties (even at the beginning was a pain to setup the printer...) I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion and now nothing works. I have read accros a few websites there might be a bug or some problem with CUPS or the drivers maybe?
Any suggestions or help, please?
For any additional information, I have no backup (my fault...).
Thanks a lot!

I have asked them those things, I'll let you know when I get a response.
Meanwhile I think we connect through a server, don't know which kind and if there is any difference. People using Windows machines have to authenticate at the printer to print, meanwhile Mac users print directly.
When you type the printer URL you get the following (I have hiden the ipp numbers):

Canon printer problem *since 4 months*

OS & printer updates come and go, but my printing problem persists:
Before my Mac even tries to communicate with my Canon printer, I get an unspecified error message: "Error during printing". Immediately, right after hitting the print button. No matter if the printer is online or offline. In the split of a second.
Console log message:
Pages[565] Printing failed because PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog() returned -30870.
PS: There is already a long list of these errors:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=PMSessionEndDocumentNoDialog()returned-30870.&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
Thanks a lot for a helpful hint!

Did you try resetting the printing system as suggested?
I haven't experienced the same problem as you, but it did fix the one problem I had with printing.
System Preferences -> Print & fax. Hold the Ctrl-key when you click on the list of printers, and select 'Reset Printing System' from the options. You'll need to reset your printer options after doing this.

Problems print with Canon i850/ which driver?

Ever since I installed Leopard, I have had printing problems with the color on my Canon i850 printer. Usually this has to do with magenta. If cleaned the printer, etc., and didn't have this problem in Tiger. Sometimes magenta will print in some colors, like purple, but sometimes it will print red, or will print red as green. I looked under System Preferences and there are two printers, an i850 and an i850 Gutenprint...which one should I be using? I am using the i850. Why is it that if I have red in a document, one place it may print and another it won't and the same red is selected? Also, where is the printer driver stored? Anyone also have any ideas on a great printer with Leopard? I do mostly black and white, but do color for pictures, not a huge amount, Xmas letters, etc. Just want a reliable, economical printer that the ink isn't outrageous, or is color laser the best? Any ideas or help will be appreciated! Thanks.

The printing of red as green doesn't sound right. Green is made from cyan and yellow. Red is made from magenta and yellow. So to get green instead of red doesn't sound like a cartridge/print head is faulty, which is sometimes the case for these types of problems. It sounds like you either have a driver problem or a colour management issue.
The i850 driver you are using is the Canon supplied version. Since this is giving you trouble, then I would try the Gutenprint version. If that still causes colour issues, then the colour management is most likely at fault. Did you upgrade from Tiger or do a fresh install?
As for the driver location, have a look at ./Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinters for the Canon driver. Will need to check the Gutenprint location (I'm at home on Tiger). Maybe someone else can chip in...
Re the new printer, I can vouch for the Canon iP5300. It has a large black tank for text printing and separate C M Y K tanks for photos.
Colour laser gives better text printing, but the photos aren't as good. Also, the purchase price is often more, although the toner cartridges have higher yields than ink. Have a look at this link

Borderless printing problems - Aperture 2.1/Canon Pro9000 II

Problem: photos don't print borderless. I have selected the appropriate paper from the "paper size" dialog (in my case, "4x6 borderless"). Things used to behave nicely but something has changed after Snow Leopard. The "calibrate" settings do not solve the problem. The border appears only on two edges of the print and the calibrate settings can't move it back. Other software (Preview, Photoshop, etc.) print borderless without issue. Anyone else out there having a similar issue?
Aperture 2.1.4
OS 10.6.1
Canon Pro9000 II, CUPS driver 10.26.0.0
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I also have struggled with the borderless printing problem. Tried calibration has some unpredictable results. Tried preview, pretty much the same problem. Spent much time, ink and paper to come up with a solution I can live with. I accidentally printed a borderless 4x6 that actually had a 1/8 inch white border all the way around, not the borderless print i had intended but one that i can live with until there is a SL fix or a Aperture fix... I am just waiting. This is just one of many print problems since installing SL.

Printing problem with Macbook, Airport Express and new Canon IP4600

Just set up new printer, a Canon ip4600. Adding printer in System Preferences to my flat-screen iMac, I got it working using the Airport Express. But trying the same thing with the Macbook (2.4 GHz Intel), can't get it to print. (Both worked fine with previous Epson printer.) I fear it's a network issue, not sure what to do. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

For each of the AirPort Express Base Stations (AX), did you also change the "iTunes Speaker Name" on the Music tab when using the AirPort Admin Utility? Is this the name you're referring to from iTunes?

10.6.7 update printing problem with canon ipf700

After the last os x update i can't print with canon ipf700
No new drivers in canon site
Any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sometimes what you need to do is clear the print queue in the Printer System Preferences, sometimes what you need to do is reinstall the latest printer drivers. Sometimes open source drivers work*:

I don't have an ipf700, but my MX700 works in 10.6.7 if it is any consolation.
