Problem printing on dvd with canon pixma ip 4200 printer

hello, i just bought a ip 4200. now here is the problem: the cd-printing just won´t work at all. the regular paperprinting does alright. has anyone similar experience or a solution to offer? i would be highly grateful,
saluti from germany

Ive just purchased a Pixma 5000 primarily for its direct CD printing, and was understandably surprised when Canon informed me that the CD printing software shipping with the printer still hasnt been updated for Tiger.
Short of sending the printer back, I purchased Disclabel software from Smileonmymac. It works very well, and is significantly better than the bundled application, working in a very iApp sort of way. (This isnt an advert, by the way, I just though it might put some people out of their misery)

Macbook Pro 2011 not printing on network with canon pixma iP4500

Hi
I am not able to print satisfactorily from my 15" MacBook Pro 2011 to my QNAP TS439 server that has my Pixma iP4500 installed. I contacted apple support and after 45 minutes the operative gave up and said it was a QNAP problem. I am fairly sure it is not, so please read on...
Here is what happens. I ( myself and Apple) select the correct printer from the menu on my MacBook Pro with the correct path and printer on the server using Snow Leopard 10.6.8. As soon as I go to print something it says it is waiting for 10 seconds, very quickly it gets extended out past 30 seconds, but never prints.
I have tried another driver called the Canon Pixma iP4500 Gutenprint v 5.2.3. This will only print in black text. If I try to print colours, I get a very wishy washy pastel effect that just about shows that there might be some colours there. This is hopeless and most unsatisfactory.
In my opinion, this points the finger at Canon's printer driver that has been supplied to Apple, because the printer driver for Windows 7 works perfectly from the Windows 7 x64 PC.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

Just a quick reply for others in case it helps....
First you have to install the Canon drivers for Yosemite from Canon Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X.
Then since I had reset my Canon MP620 network settings, I had to start from scratch. I connected the printer to my new computer (with Yosemite) via USB and then launched the Canon IJ Network Tool.app (downloaded from the Canon web site) and it found the printer. However it hung on the last step "Searching for printers via access point...". At that point (after waiting a minute for it to give up), I had to read the IP from the Canon printer and enter it by hand in the Network Tool dialog.
I then unplugged the USB cable, and went to the Printers and Scanners system preference panel. After a few minutes, the printer showed up and I was able to set it up.
I then tried to set up the printer on a 2nd computer, running Mavericks. The Canon printer would not show up in the Printers and Scanners system preference panel, but after I launched Canon IJ Network Tool.app on that computer, the printer did show up and I could set it up there as well. This is all much more convenient than using a USB cable and sharing the printer, but, dang, is it complicated!

My Canon Pixma iP 4200 prints green.

I have tried all of the troubleshooting procedures from checking to see if the ink tanks are adequate and in the correct position to cleaning the print heads manually. But my ip 4200 still keeps print GREEN. Any steps to clear up this probvlem wlould be appreciate. Thanks...

Hi FLJerry, When the printouts from the PIXMA iP4200 do not print correctly (such as with a green tint), the first step would be to make sure that the correct inks are installed and are in the correct order. The correct order is:
CLI-8Bk Black
PGI-5Bk Black
CLI-8Y Yellow
CLI-8M Magenta
CLI-8C CyanNext would be to perform printhead cleanings. Because you have already performed this, It is recommended that you contact live technical support . There is NO charge for this call. Please dial 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. ET (excluding holidays).

Very odd problem with Canon Pixma i4300 (color printing issue)

My printer prints black text fine, including colorful illustrations. Also eg. test photo like http://printermaster.dk/TEST/Color_Print_Test.pdf are completely fine. BUT - when I print real photography on Glossy photo paper, in approximately 1/3 of the picture I got aprox. 1 cm pinker/whiter stripe. I did all sort of cleaning, including removing and flushing print head and nothing helps. When I'm printing the same on the normal paper, I got stripes randomly in the picture - eg. 3 stripes / 3 cm long / 5mm wide. When I print without borders, the symptom again changes - the upper 3cm seems to be fine, then I can observe some horizontal lines, then again a pinker/whiter stripe and then the bottom seems to be again fine. I did all sort of recalibration, printer head alignment, different sort of paper - the result is still the same. Any idea please ? Is it time to throw it away ? Also here are some results of the alignment, it looks very strange (vertical lines?!). Head alligments / service info prints / etc. : http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=06883978457109160756

Canon pixma ip 4200 prints gray and cyan only

The problem came just after installing new original cartridges (no refill) I have never used refill or non canon cartridges.
The test print function showed homogen grey tone where magenta and yellow should be; i think when nozzles are clocked there should be no print for the colur field in the testpage or stripes but not a homogen normal greytone; so i think it may be also a driver problem.
But may be some experienced persons may know what it is;
What i did so far: Safeboot, reparing permissions; this did not suceed at first; After cleaning with the printer utility colour came back slowly; After two days of not using the printer > same problem again!
Thank u for help

Most printers have a test mode you can operate from the on printer menu. Can you run that test to see if it can get all the colors? The colors may simply be out of alignment.

Problems printing wirelessly with Canon PIXMA iP4500

I have a MacBook Pro 15 in 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb RAM and I’m running Mac OSX 10.5.7.
1. My Canon PIXMA iP4500 inkjet printer used to work perfectly as a printer attached to the USB port of my Airport Extreme Model A1034 modem, when my computer communicates with the modem either wirelessly or via an ethernet connection between the computer and Airport, but lately it isn’t working.
2. When I try to print the printer icon shows up in the dock and when I click on it a Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box pops up and says the Printer is Ready but the status of the document is “Stopped”.
3. If I click on “Resume” and error message appears: “Operation could not be completed. client-error-not-possible”. This happen repeatedly.
4. I recycled the modem, turned the printer off and on (and did those things in reverse) and ran Airport Utility, all to no avail. I also deleted the printers in my Print & Fax System Preferences dialog box, downloaded the latest CUPS driver from Canon (ver 10.1.0.0), and recreated the printer (called Canon iP4500 Series).
5. Network diagnostics says it can connect to the internet over either my airport or Ethernet connection but it cannot connect to the Canon iP4500 series.riousbprint.tcp.local.
6. Also when I run the Canon IJ Printer Utility from the Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box a Printer List dialog box shows up with no USB-attached printers listed
7. I can print if I connect the printer directly to my MacBook Pro, so I don’t think it’s a driver or USB cable problem. Curiously, when I connect the printer directly to the computer the Print & Fax dialog box automatically creates a second printer called Canon iP4500 series-1. If I use the original Canon iP4500 Series printer in this setup it says “No pages found”.
Basically I’m stumped at this point and would appreciate some help. Unfortunately, I’m on a 3-mo sabbatical and do not have my original Canon printer software with me so I cannot reinstall the printer app unless someone knows how I can obtain it. Similarly I cannot reinstall Leopard either, though it doesn’t seem likely I should need to. Happy to try anything else though.

Hello Basil and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Reading your post, it would suggest there is a problem with the USB of the Airport Extreme, but I don't believe this to be case as there is not much that could go wrong with them. Instead I think there is something not right with the transport (TCP) protocols that get the data from your Mac to the Airport USB.
At this stage, I suggest you look at installing version 5.23 of the Gutenprint driver. This version supports your iP4500 and will help to narrow the cause of the current symptom.
Before installing the Gutenprint driver, I suggest we trash all the current Canon drivers you have installed - we can add them again later if need be.
Open Finder and navigate to Mac HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter. Trash all the contents of this folder and empty the trash.
Next, navigate to the Mac HD/Library/Receipts folder. You will see the Canon iP4500 xxx.pkg and another one for the CUPS driver you installed. Trash both of these and empty also.
Now open System Preferences > Print & Fax and delete all the Canon printers in the list (highlight and hit ' - '). It would also be handy to reset the printing system, so while in Print & Fax, move your mouse over the now empty printers list, hold down your Control key and click (or right-click if you can). Click on Reset printing system when it appears.
Now install the Gutenprint drivers. When this is done, restart your Mac and try adding the iP4500 again. This time, after you select the Airport shared printer, you will have to open Print Using and search for the 'Canon iP4500 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'. Select this and now try printing. Let me now the result.

Canon Pixma MP280 AIO printer - ink levels cannot be displayed - how to resolve this problem?

Good morning everyone,
I have a Canon Pixma MP280 AIO printer (about 18 months old) now which I previously had installed on a old Windows 7 Pro x64, SP1 Dell Optiplex 755 computer. That computer finally bit the dust.
My present computer is a Dell Optiplex 745, Win 7 SP1 x64 Home Premium machine.
Description of problem: After installing the printer on this computer (using the CD/DVD that originally came with it and following all the instructions), I find the printer will no longer display the ink levels. Every time I click on "Printer Status", the pop-up box just states the info cannot be displayed. (All other functions of the printer work just fine).
Resolutions attempted thus far w/out success:
1. Uninstalled printer and deleted all files associated with it (2 times). Re-started computer, then re-installed it.
2. Emailed Canon Support. their response did not resolve the issue. (Don't recall just what they said as I've long since deleted that email reply).
3. Searched the Forums here for an identical problem with the same model printer, but didn't see anything.
My question: Is there a resolution for this problem?
Thank you for your time and any help.
Pete C.

Yes, thanks for your follow-up .. .Mine did not work after the day-long shut off.
I am gonna risk buying a new black ink cartridge since my machine seems to just be running the error on the black alone.
Good luck with your new one.
I will probably upgrade too, if this does not work. I cannot complain about this machine. I had two, one for office and one for home. Both took A LOT of use. And, i used no-name refill cartridges and no-name refill ink for over half the time on the home machine.
This one, the home one lasted about 6 years, the other about 4+1/2 . I think that is pretty **bleep** (lol it censored the correct spelling of 'dam') good mileage for a fairly inexpensive machine, that got very high ratings, and gave me all those features.
Good Luck.

HT1338 I have a canon pixma ip4300 ij printer connected to my mac G5 with an intel processor, i cannot print cd labels since i changed from the old mac OSX processor.

I have a canon pixma ip4300 ij printer with software to print cd/dvd labels ,i origonaly had it connected to a mac with the old MAC OSX processor,since i have changed to a mac with MOUNTAIN LION the new intel processor i cannot print the cd labels, i have downloaded software update for the printer but it still reverts back to the old software , can anyone help thank you Allan R

So do you have any problems using the iP4300 to print from other applications on 10.8? Just trying to get an idea of your current setup.
I ask because Easy PhotoPrint (EPP) will use your existing printer - there is no need to create a new printer. So when you open the software and select to make a Disc Label, when you get to Step 4 - Print Settings, the software looks at your existing printer setup to check that you have a printer that will support CD/DVD printing (not all models of Canon inkjet support this).
So with regards to the problem connecting to the iP4300, is the software failing to locate a supporting printer? Can you give me a bit more info as to what is happening when you attempt to print a CD/DVD from EPP?

Canon Pixma MX 450 printer showing offline with OS X 10.7.5

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I joke with Canon's IT department that I keep them employed! I was calling them at least twice a week for a few weeks to try to fix the problem, but was unable to find a resolution. I returned a less expensive Canon printer today, in a desperate attempt to get my wireless connection to work! I just installed a Canon Pixma MX450 wireless print, copy, scan, fax with my OS X 10.7.5. Everything seemed to be going great. The setup was fine when communicating between the router and printer; none of those connections failed. However, once I installed the software from Canon and tried to setup the wireless connection from the computer to the printer, the printer could not be detected wirelessly-I had to pull out the 'ol USB. With the USB, the printer was detected. The test print page printed, which game me a false hope! I tried a dummy page from Pages and Word both, but nothing prints. The printer error indicates the printer is offline and not connected. This is the same problem I had with the less expensive Canon. Help! I want to be able to use the wireless function that I paid for to print. Thanks

When you connected the MX450 to the Mac via USB cable, it would have created a printer in Print & Scan for this USB connected printer. If you then disconnect the MX450 USB cable from the Mac but then attempt to print to the MX450 using the printer that was created for the USB connection, this will result in the "Printer Offline" message.
So, are you trying to print with the MX450 printer that was created for the USB connection?
If you are not using the USB printer and definitely using the printer that you created when the MX450 was connected to your wireless access point (wireless router), then try removing this printer from Print & Scan and creating the printer again.
If you cannot find the printer when you try to add it again then check the wireless network settings via the control panel on the front of the printer. It will confirm what wireless network it is connected to and what IP address it has acquired.

Canon Pixma MG6120 Wireless printer - can't get to work with AirportExtreme

Canon Pixma MG6120 Wireless printer - can't install mg6100swin104ejs.exe 64 bit wirelss driver on Windows 7 64bit when printer is registered to 10.0.1.X Airport Extreme. Even if I enable Advanced Port Mapping, Printer Sharing the Canon software doesn't recognize the printer if it is registered wirelessly to the Airport Extreme. Canon senior tech support and Apple senior tech support don't know how to help. Any advice for someone who was able to get a Canon Pixma Printer to work with their Airport Extreme from a Windows 7 64bit PC also connected to 10.0.1.X subnet? Your advice is greatly appreciated. The printer once online is pingable at 10.0.1.9 and I can see SD cards and browse photo's just can't get the Canon software to wirelessly activate/install.

To print from an iPAD using the Lexmark S300 series,you need to download the LexPrint app from this link: LexPrint
Hope this helps.

Hello Betty7,
Please let me take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums.
I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see that you are having an issue with getting the printer reinstalled.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. If the Doctor fails, please let me know where it fails as well as any error codes it may generate.
Thank you for your time.

I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

Thanks, PAHU, for providing the Australian site for the Canon driver. I have an MP500 and it still seemed to print fine after I downloaded Yosemite. However, as others have reported, the MP Navigator no longer performed normally in scanning. The "Save As" keys didn't align and therefore didn't work but one could still scan using an alternative method ("Scan with scanner driver" button).
In any case, my hard drive subsequently failed on this 2010 27" iMac and when it was replaced the tech installed Yosemite 10.10.1. Just tried printing this evening and it wouldn't. Advised I needed undefined "software." Got various error messages. Went to Google and read this and downloaded that to no avail. Tried the Gutenprint driver but it too didn't work. Latest error was "stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter." Had no clue what that meant! System info listing for the printer (under About this Mac, System Info) lacked any reference to permissions or a printer utility version (but I didn't notice or know significance of omissions). Finally I downloaded from the Australian site, just the print driver 10.51.2. The printer then printed!!! (The MP Navigator scanner remains flawed but works by clicking "Scan with scanner driver" rather than the normal way.) I'm holding my breath that things will continue to work.
Thanks again, PAHU, for your help, and Greg and Pam and Andy too!

Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer ejects 3.8 in of a 4X6 paper and prints only 2.2 in of the image printing from Photoshop CS6, I'm sure I set everything correctly - what could I be missing?

Using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6.
Have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up yesterday. First thing printed was a
document from MS Word (a letter) 8.5 X 11 plain paper - this came out OK. Next I fire up
Photoshop and open a 4 X 6 inch image to do a test print. I set it up in the print dialog as
4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop
manages the color. I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print. Now, when
it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and starts printing
on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out. It does this in Photoshop (any image it doesn't
matter), and it does it printing from Capture NX. I have been able to get it to print on the paper
correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good. I was on
the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting
I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either.
I want to be able to print from Photoshop. Any one every heard of this or experienced the same
problem? Thanks JamesD!

Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
I also checked out this B&W test image:
http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw-test-image-2.html
You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
You can print a series of test images:
find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

Canon Pixma MG6250 - CD Printing (Tray G)

Background
I'm running an iMac with 10.6.8.
Adobe Illustrator 14.0.0 (CS4)
My previous printer was an HP C5380. Printing directly onto CD from with Adobe Illustrator was easy. Design the layout, select print and choose 'CD' as paper size. Done. The HP needed replacing and HP no longer have any printers with CD printing capability.m
New Printer
I got the Canon Pixma MG6250 and normal printing works as it should. This printer has a small tray (called 'Tray G') that you place the CD onto and then insert the tray into a slot (inside the main paper loading slot) This slot is accessed via a drop down 'inner cover' that you need to manually open. You then place the tray (with the CD on it) into this slot and line up two white arrows. The printer should then draw this tray inside and print. (This was how the HP printer worked too)
Problem
When I select 'File - Print' in Adobe Illustrator, I then select 'Media' and the option 'Disc Tray G'. I select this then click 'Print'
The printer displays an error saying 'Inner Cover Open. Close the inner cover and select OK'
When I do that I get a second error message saying 'Rear Tray. There is no paper. Load Paper and select OK'
If I do have paper loaded into the rear tray, the image I wanted to print onto the CD, prints onto the paper (as you'd expect from the sequence of messages)
Has anybody got a solution to this problem? It's driving me crazy................
Regards
John

Considering this is the Adobe forum, the two answers I've got so far are 'give up and use something else'
It seems like no one has actually tried to trouble shoot the issue or come up with an explanation as to why.
