Problem with canon mx870 printer in Word insists on using inkjet Hagaki media type

My MX870  insists on using inkjet Hagaki media type in Word and printing with standard quality, no matter how many times I change it back to plain paper and fast quality.  I have tried everyhting I can think of short uninstalling and reinstalling the printer software.  I have chnaged documents, closed and reopened word, change printer setting in Control Panel (Windows 7), powering off and restarting the printer, restarting my laptop, etc.
Even more annoying is that in Word my cursor now is a constantly blinking hourglass which has slowed down Word's speed.

Hello.
Please try the following adjustment to see if we can resolve your issue:

5.  In the Main tab, click the 'Defaults' button at the bottom.
6.  In the Page Setup tab, click the 'Defaults' button at the bottom.

Once this has been done, open your document and try printing again.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 Printer Driver Problems with Canon MP600 printer

    I'm having problems using my Canon MP600 printer with Photoshop Elements 9 with regard to the paper allocation. The MP600 has 2 paper trays and for some reason when using Elements it prefers you to use the top loading (auto sheet feeder)  method all the time.  For space reasons  I need to use the bottom cassette. When you initially go into the settings for the printer within elements you can choose the cassette and paper type etc no problem and make a print. When you go back in to do another print it changes the setting back to auto sheet feeder so you have to change it back again which is winding me up!  I have got the latest drivers for the printer and they are set up to how I would like the printer to work but Elements changes some of those settings for some reason. Does anyone know a way of fixing this please ?? When I'm not in Photoshop if I go to print something from the web it performs perfectly so I can only assume its Elements thats changing the settings. 
    Also when I print small thumbnail sized pictures on an A4 sheet of paper to test what the photo colour will look like when I go back into the print menu it puts the thumnail picture back in the center of the sheet of A4 rather than leaving it where it was, so then you have to put in the top and sideways measurements again to carry on ! The last version of Photoshop I had never did that. Does anyone know had to solve that problem ?? Any thoughts on the above problems would be gratefully recieved !

    Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm  not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

  • Problems with Canon MF4450 printer...

    I have a Canon MF4450. I have all the updated drivers from Apple and from Canon, but when I seek to 'add' it on as a printer, there is no entry for it - it is not recognized by the machine. What can I do to fix this?

    Thanks for trying the new cable. At least now it can be ruled out as a cause. This result would then suggest the printer at fault but with it working on Windows then it would also rule it out.
    So like you I don't know why the MF is not appearing in System Information. For your reference I have taken a screen grab of my System Information view showing the MF4580 connected to the USB High-Speed Bus.
    Was 10.8 a new installation on this Mac or was it an upgrade from 10.7/10.6?
    Do you know anyone with a Mac? It would be interesting to check what happens with that Mac. You would not need to install the driver. Just connect it via USB and then open System Information.

  • Printing problem with Canon LBP3370

    I'm having an issue relating to the Canon LBP3370.
    I also notice that Canon Europe seem to have removed all trace of any MacOSX drivers from the support page for this printer.
    I have an 'early' MBP running 10.6.6 w/ Suitcase3, QXP8.5 and CS5.
    Just bought a MacMini updated to 10.6.7. Same software. Same files. Same fonts.
    I have one file which gets printed weekly from a template in QXP. It prints fine on the MBP on a Canon LBP3370 using the last 'auto updated' driver. Not sure how to check the version number of the driver, but it works. I looked in 'About this Mac' and looked up the printer, and it says driver version is 2.0 - then again, it says the same for the version on the MacMini, which was installed today using an installer marked 2.24.
    On the MacMini, the same file, on the same software yields an output error to the printer and requests the printer be switched to 'raster' mode in 'Quality' settings in order to print, which I understand yields diminished quality on more complex files.
    I experimented with the file, removing elements and isolating them in another document to test if they print OK on the MacMini. 99% of all the page elements print just fine including a complex EPS without switching to 'raster' mode. All except for... wait for it... a SINGLE weight of the Adobe Helvetica Neue LT Std OpenType font. The document has about seven separate weights of the same font in use, and it is only one of them that triggers this problem.
    I've scanned the font completely for errors and corruption and it gets a clean bill of health. The exact same font, on the MBP, using the same software and the same printer, but used on 10.6.6 prints perfectly without having to switch to raster mode.
    Bizarre.
    What actually is the difference between UFR and Raster modes anyway? How do I fix this? It seems more likely to be a 10.6.7 issue than a Canon driver issue specifically... I notice the webs full of people commenting on 10.6.7 causing problems with OpenType fonts.
    Any ideas?

    sig
    Not really, thanks anyway. I'm already on a later driver than that.
    PAHU
    Thanks for the input. I'm still somewhat confused by the aparrent existence of two different problems - first the sheer number of complaints that 10.6.7 in itself has broken a good deal of OpenType font functionality, particularly in the PostScript flavour, and second that users have been having similar specific problems with this exact printer which appears to be a result of a driver in need of fixing.
    I'm not sure which option to place my bet on, or whether indeed the two are, in fact, connected and the development of the 2.24 and later drivers are in essence 'fixes' for the 'breakage' introduced by 10.6.7 in general.
    The part that confuses me most is that it is a single weight out of five weights of the same font used in the same document which causes the problem. Part of me says that the solution is to just abandon that specific weight, but then another part of me says that I'm managing some three thousand faces on this system, any of which could need to be used, and I cannot test all of them to disable or deactivate the weights (or families) which might cause issues.
    Can you point me in the direction of a clean, pure source of 2.24 for UK English, which I cannot find on the Canon Europe website at all (certainly on the UK site, all Mac drivers for this model appear to have been discontinued and removed from the site, even though the vestigial tech notes for the printer still on display on the product page state that MacOSX is supported). I'm prepared to try a reinstall from a fresh source to see if it shifts the problem. Otherwise, as you say, it would appear that another 'bug' has been found which the attempted fix has not cleared.

  • Can i use my new I pad with the Canon MX870 printer?

    Can I use a I PAD 2 with me Canon MX870 Printer?

    The Canon MX870 is not on Apple's AirPrint list of supported printers:
    AirPrint basics
    So you would have to find some Canon app or some third party app in the App Store to do some limited printing from iPad.

  • Problem with Canon LPB 6670,

    Hello, I have problem with Canon LPB 6670, while printing both sides the paper is jammed every time

    First clarify this statement...
    I captured video, and when I went on FCP and did log and capture, it said the camcorder was offline.<</div>
    Have you already captured with this camera or are you trying to capture with it now?
    If you're trying to capture with it now, are you capturing to an external harddrive? If so, the problem may be because you're overtaxing your FW bus.
    If you're not already, you might try capturing to your internal (so the iMac is only accessing the camera on the single FW bus), then transfer the media to an external to edit.
    Does the iMac recognize the camera? (check in System Profiler)
    Is the camera in playback mode?
    Have you tried shutting down and making sure your camera is on before opening FCP?

  • HT3669 iEPP, Easy Photo Print, App not 'detecting' my Canon MX870 printer/scanner.

    Downloaded the iPod Touch iEPP Airprint app for printing wirelessly to my approved, Canon MX870 printer/scanner and the app can't detect it.
    Thanks

    I have been having the same issue with the Canon iEPP app not detecting the printer using an iPhone 4S, 5S and iPad Air.  I was on the phone with Canon IT support and the devices and apps can communicate with the printer when I type in the printer IP address in the Safari browser.
    I have Comcast Xfinity for interner and have a Linksys Wireless-G router.
    I tried about 5 different free app which support my Canon MX870 printer and none can detect the printer.
    Any suggestions?

      I have problem with dot matrix printer (Devise Type EPESCP) while printing continuos printing. If  i am printing 2 or more than that prints at a time, 2nd page is printing 5 lines up.

    Hi Vishnu,
    Above you have the following commands:
    set line spacing 6 LPI
    \e\0x32
    set page length 86 lines
    \e\0x43\0x46
    46 HEX = 70
    So the above settings mean 70 lines at 6 LPI = 11.66 inches.
    So is the paper length 11.66 inches? If not, you should adjust the settings accordingly.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well.  Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up:  After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image.  How do I disable this function?

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

      Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

  • Cannot print due to a problem with the current printer

    Cannot print (anymore) due to a problem with the current printer is the message I get every time I try to print something out. I tried to reinstall the printer's software, I changed the cables, but nothing happened. It seems to be something related to the printer setup utility. Any big idea on how to solve this? I was printing without problems until this afternoon. I have a HP Laserjet 1022 and sometimes I use Adobe Acrobat Writer. None is currently working.
    Thanks for any help.
