Printing on OS X 10.8.5 & Canon iPF6100

I have Photoshop CS4 and up graded my computer to an iMac, with OS X 10.8.5. I have a Canon printer imagePROGRAF iPF6100. I have download the necessary drivers from Canon. The iMac see the printer and have done a nozzle check through the iMac. When in Photoshop there is no joy in getting a print off. Do I need an update from Adobe and if so where is the web link?

i'm not sure this will help you, but here are the updates: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
normally, if you can print from any program, you can print from adobe programs.

How do I print from my iPad 3 using a Canon printer?

I just got the new iPad 3 and I was wondering if anybody could help me out. I hope this is possible, but I was trying to print from my iPad 3 using my Canon MP640r printer. I understand that it's not a Mac printer and there are only certain printers that are automatically compatible, but I figured with all of the capabilities of the iPad that somebody must have figured out a way of doing this.
This wouldn't be the end of the world for me but I would really like to get my iPad to print from my Canon MP640r as it would be the icing on the cake and make my life a lot easier.
Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much, that worked like a charm.
I appreciate it a lot.

I have a Apple imax only about 9 months old. I need a new printer. I am looking at a Canon MX926 PIXMA. Do I have Airprint or do I need to purchase it? I am a novice with Apple and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iMac is only 9 months old, it probably comes with OS X Mountain Lion, and it includes AirPrint, so you do not need to purchase anything else apart from the printer (which is compatible with AirPrint).
Once you have purchased the printer, you need to follow the steps of the manufacturer. To add the printer to OS X, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670

PS CS5 Export to Canon IPF6100 print plug-in

Just installed PS CS5 upgrade over CS4. Within CS4 have Canon plug in for printing (File/Export) to Canon IPF6100 printer, however it doesn't appear under EXPORT in CS5.
Under Edit/Preferences/Plug-ins I browsed to the plug in folder. Then restarted CS5 as instructed. No go, so rebooted. Although it is shows up in preferences, am still unable to have this plug-in operational. I reinstalled the driver/plug-in. Appreciate any help!....Thx...

Found the work around solution.
This applies to CS4 / CS5 upgrade.
Navigate to C:\programfiles\adobe\adobe photoshop CS4\Plug-Ins\Import-Export
Here you will see your Print plug in file. Mine was "Print Plugin for iPF6100"
Expand the same path to the Photoshop CS5 import-export folder.
Drag (copy-don't move) the plug in folder into the import-export folder.
Restart or launch PS CS5

How do i print wirelessly from my mac to my canon pixma MG5200

How do i print wirelessly from my mac to my canon pixma MG5200

You want to look at this link first. it is in the article popsted above but I figured I post a link to in here so you don't miss it. It has to be the first thing you do.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3500
You have to first connect your printer to your network. Along with that Apple article read the printers setup instruction.

How do I print from my new Ipad to my Canon printer on my wireless network

How do I print from my new Ipad to my Canon printer on my wireless network

Actually, the article tells you to get it on the same network...but not how. No Canon specific application is needed for printer setup. It can all be done from the front panel of the printer.
Look at the manual, it will describe how to get the printer on to your wire wirelless network. Canon support can help.
Next connect you iPad to the same network. The in applications that print, you will find a print option in the share menu. The printer should be selectable from there.

How to print from IPad. I have a Canon MX430 airless (wireless) printer

That printer does not support airprint. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356 for lists of Airprint capable printers.
You will have to print with one of the many print apps. Canon has some in the App Store.
There are many other print apps as well:
PrintCentral
Print n Share
etc.
Check the App Store.

Help resolving printing problem with v10.6.8 and Canon MP780 PIXMA

Hello,
My Canon MP780 PIXMA stopped being able to print text in black some months ago and having scoured the internet for advice I've discovered that this issue is not that uncommon. This printer uses 5 ink tanks 3 of which are for single colours and two of which are for different kinds of black ink. The tank responsible for printing black text (fonts) for some reason just won't do its job.
Amongst other people's online posts I found a workaround cheat to print black text (simply change the paper setting to Photo Quality or Double Sided Photo for printing either single or duplex printing).
But this uses up too much ink and is EXTREMELY slow.
I have read of the same issue using a different series of Canon printers - and apparently those Canon laser printers just needed an updated CAPT driver.
Tasks already attempted to no avail:
- cleaning the ink nozzles via the software utility
- print test via software utility demonstrates absent gridline pattern
- taken out print head and cleaned carefully with water then left to dry naturally before replacing
- removed Microsoft Word font folders from user library location then restarted my machine (in a desperate response to some advice given in this community to someone else experiencing the same problem but with a different printer)
- opened FontBook and resolved duplicate fonts and restarted my machine (there were about 5 duplicates)
- tried printing from TextEdit and Preview to see if Apple software was behaving differently to Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat - but still cannot print black text
I've had this printer for about 7 years and although it's a massive machine and doesn't have built-in proper networking, it makes scanning and printing massive documents so easy - well it did before the black text problem began - so I'd love to find a true solution rather than chuck it out and buy a new printer.
I run it from a MacBook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Version 10.6.8 via USB cable.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

Printing Problem with CS 6 extended and Canon Pro 9500

My prints are no longer coming out centered. I have the "center" box checked in the CS6 print dialogue box. The prints are not centered left to right or top to bottom.
This seems to be a problem since I upgraded to CS 6 extended and or newest print driver for my Canon Pro 9500.
I believe that since I did one or both of these changes there is a border (consitst of slanted hash marks around the perimiter of the print dialogue picture) in the preview of the print.
The border segments left and right are not equal and are very uneven in width. The top and bottom borders are closer but still not even in width.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Thanks,
Dennis

Having trouble printing over a home network to a Canon S9000 from iMac

Hello there,
I recently bought a iMac and am having trouble printing to my Canon S9000 over my home network. If I hook up the printer to the iMac I can print to it, but the PC that is also hooked up to the network can't. If the printer is hooked up to the PC, the PC can print to it, but the iMac can not.
I downloaded the S9000 driver from Canon and installed it on the iMac. Then brought up the printer in system preferences. I found my printer OK, but I can't seem to find the S9000 driver in the list.
When the printer is hooked up to the PC and I try to print to it from the iMac this is the error I get: "Error Number : 311 Printer is in use or an error has occurred. If an error has occurred, eliminate the cause of the error."
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Your problem is due to the way that Canon wrote the drivers for that printer. It can be shared to Windows machines if it is on a Windows machine, or to Macs if it is on a Mac. It can't be shared cross-platform. It is not supported by GutenPrint, so there is no CUPS system driver available; if there was, you could put it on the Windows machine and share it, and use the CUPS driver to print on your Mac.
I'm sorry, but that printer will not ever be able to be shared cross-platform unless and until Canon rewrites the drivers. I'd not recommend holding your breath while waiting.
The best solution to cross-platform printing is to get a network printer. Many vendors, including Brother, Canon, Epson, and HP, make them, some of them at fairly low (under $100) prices.

CS4 10.6 Canon ipf6100 printer issues: profiles, plug-in, driver

The relevant hardware and software are listed above plus the most recent photoshop plug-in from Canon. As of two days ago, all was up to date.
Although some Canon Tech Support reps (but not others) have been surprised by this, I have been getting good prints using the plug-in. I have more trouble printing from anywhere. PS isn't great, Lightroom is incomprehensible. I'd like to hear about others' experiences.
I bought the printer from Lexjet, and frequently, but not always, use Lexjet Paper. Lexjet publishes different ICC profiles for printing through the plug-in, than it does for printing through the driver. As far as I know, no other paper manufacturer does this, and that includes Canon. Does anyone know if the same profile should work the same regardless of driver or plug-in? If not, which profile do most manufacturers furnish?
Since some of the easy layout functions are only available through the regular printer driver, I'd like the option of using both. And I certainly have a number of other papers that I would like to use. Short of tedious testing, or special profiling, has anyone addressed this problem before?
Thanks.

You might be better off asking your questions here.
http://canonipf.wikispaces.com/
I have found only very slight differences using the same profile printing from the driver as opposed to the 16-bit plugin. Back when we could only print 8-bit files from the driver there could potentially be more of a difference. It seems to be the common thought that if you choose "Fast Graphic Process" in the driver that your using the same process as the plugin, but since I have not tested this and have my doubts.
But, I always create a different profile for the plugin than I do for the driver and also based on the quality settings.
I am running the iPF9000 here.

Hp psc 950 printer only prints black and white, no driver for Canon lpb 5000

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install my two printers on mac book pro.
Problem 1.
My HP psc 950 printer is only printing in a bad black and white quality - no color at all?? - any idea where I can download a printerdriver that is actually up to date? The one mac book has preinstalled seems not to be the right one?
Problem 2.
My may can´t find a driver for my other printer Canon LPB 5000 at all. I´ve already downloaded the canon drivers for Mac book - so I see a long list of Canon drivers but the LPB 5000 is not there and I don´t find any download of it in the web. I work with os x 10.7 and there is just an old mac driver for 10.6 to be found on the Canon website. I downloaded it but still does not work.
Hope someone can help. Both printers used to work fine on Windows but I am changing to Mac now and need to get them work.
Thanks,
K.

Canon LPB5000 driver for 10.7 is at http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=LASER+SHOT+LBP5000&menu=download&f ilter=0&tagname=g_os&g_os=Mac%20OS%20X%20v10%2E7
There is also this note: When using with OS X Lion, install this printer driver, and then register the printer. For information on how to register ... support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100359005.html

Print via Airprint with iPad 3 and Canon MG5350

Hi,
I have a very common problem but none of the so far provided answers were suitable to help me. I use a new Canon MG5350 printer with WLAN and Airprint. The firmware has been updated to version 2 and nevertheless I cannot print via Airprint from my iPad 3 WiFi. My iPhone 4 finds the Canon printer without problems but the iPad keeps saying "No Airprint printers found".
Who can help? As I said, I have updated the printer's firmware.
Cheers
Frank

Hi Frank, I too have an MG5350 and ipad3 over wireless LAN. Printer is ace when used from my PC and laptop but got the same as you did trying to print from ipad. Tried Canon UK support but useless would be a compliment. Apple support in Cork suggested going to ipad settings, switch to airplane mode which stops wifi and then switch back again, wifi reconnnects and when I try and print, it finds the MG5350 and prints! Only one problem, leave it and come back after half hour and its back to "no airprint printers found" Doing the wifi on /off trick works everytime but have no answer as to why it is dropping it but still searching.
Hope this helps a bit.
