Recommend a good Canon printer?

Hi ,
can anyone recommend a good Canon printer (for standard text printing etc no photo printing) which take cheap compatible inks.
Canon seem to be OSX friendly so help would be appreciated and cheap inks is of importance.I looked at the iP1800 but theres no compatible inks for it as only Canon inks are available but there very expensive in the UK anyway.
cheers
Nb

Just to compare this Epson all in one £47.00 has a bulit in scanner great if you have doc's that you just need a copy of. Also memory card reader, individual color with a large black cartridges and Mac compatiple.
Epson
HP
Canon
I'm not tring to sell you on an all-in-one, just compare the features.
Here's a couple of links for ink:

  • I have recently installed Aperture 3.1 and my Canon MG 6150 is unable to print good quality photos from it I have to use iPhoto to produce good quality prints. o

    I have recently installed Aperture 3.1,  but my Canon MG6150 has been unable to print photos of good quality from the Aperture print engine
    and I have to return to iPhoto to obtain prints I am happy with.

    I have now to reply to my own question having later found a thread over another canon printer with the answer. In the second print dialog box you click on "show details" and then on "layout". The following schreen shots make this clear. The settings can then be saved as a preset.
    It's a pity the Canon helpdesk was not able to give me this information. I hope that this will help others with similar problems.

  • Can anyone recommend a good app for designing and printing labels?

    I have just switched from pc to mac and have pages on my macbook but it does not have a label function (please apple sort this out its the only major flaw!) so can anyone recommend a good app that will do what a pc does? I do not really want to pay £85+ for office for mac just for the word program

    One way to find an app at the App Store is to use keywords.
    Type   print labels   in the search field top right corner of the App Store window then press Enter or Return on your keyboard.
    Click one of the apps listed. Always check Requirements under Information and definitely read customer reviews before purchasing and make sure there is a support link available in case you need to contact the app developer for questions.
    This forum is mainly for troubleshooting the App Store.
    For feedback for software designed for printing labels, try posting your topic in the Mac OS X community here.

  • Knock-off Ink Queers Canon Printer Output

    Sorry, I didn't know where else to go with this.
    I have about a 4-year old Canon color printer. It used to print very nicely, if slowly. To save money I bought a package of that knock-off printer ink at Costco. I've been having trouble ever since. The print-out colors are not the same as the on screen color. They seem to be faded or otherwise 'off'. Colors seem to be having trouble mixing.
    Yes, I have gone back to using authentic Canon cartridges. Yes, I have cleaned the heads with alcohol and clean cloth. Yes, I have done deep cleaning, head alignment, etc. My friend, who recommended the knock-off ink has also been having trouble with his Canon printing, too.
    We wonder what can we do? Any ideas?

    I would agree with Ji~m's assessment; you may have not printed enough to clear the channels in the print head to purge all the problem ink. I'd suggest you run the printer's cleaning routing until the problem clears up. Note, though, that some cheap knockoff ink can cause permanent problems with the printer, for which the only solution is an expensive repair or replacement of the printer.
    For the future, be very cautious about using any ink not from the printer's vendor or approved by them. Some ink works fine and some, as I said, can completely (and in some cases permanently) mess up your printer. Many vendors will balk at honoring a warranty for any problems that may be related to use of non-approved ink.
    Good luck; I'm afraid you may need it.

  • Good Bonjour print server

    Can anyone recommend a good print server that has Bonjour? Ideally I'd like both USB 2.0 and parallel for my Canon Pixma 5000 and my older Oki 810e led printer. I realize that I can share the USB printer with Airport Extreme base, but I'm not going to switch to that from my Cisco AP with 100mw of power. Wireless or wired is fine. Thanks for any info!

    Hi,
    If the printer is added to AD, it's shown as a child object to the printer server it self (computer account)
    So, open 'Active Directory Users and Computers' > View > Select 'Users, Contacts, Groups and Computers as containers'.
    Then browse to the computer account of the print server, and there the printer should be 'listed'

  • What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

    What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

    Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
    Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
    The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
    Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
    Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
    Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
    Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
    Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices

  • TS3938 Can no longer scan with my MP800 Canon printer

    I've seen lots of posts on this, and it is extremely frustrating that I'm starting to think it's just assumed that the owners of MP800 Canon printer/scanners will just toss out a perfectly good, little-used piece of hardware and buy something new. I've tried going to the HP site, loading the new drivers, etc.  I've also tried changing from MP Navigator to Image Capture, but nothing happens when I open the Scanner, except for an empty screen that turns completely white when I click on Show Details.
    I am REALLY disappointed in Apple OS update.  In the PC world (which I bought a mac to get away from) I would just uninstall the entire printer, then re-install it and count on the correct drivers etc. to be loaded.  I've tried to find a way to do this on the forums, but no luck.  Is there any way to un-install the printer/scanner completely?  And then re-install it to pick up the new drivers/software or whatever, that would work?

    Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers should resolve this issue.  Please perform the following to remove the currently installed drivers:  (If any items are not listed, move on to the next step.)
    1. Open Finder
    2. Open the 'Library' folder.
    3. Open the 'Printers' folder.
    4. Open the 'Canon' folder.
    5. Send the 'BJ Printer' folder to the trash.
    6. Return to the 'Library' folder.
    7. Open the 'Receipts' folder.
    8. Locate any items related to your printer and send them to the trash.
    Leave the 'Canon Printer Drivers.pkg' file in the folder if it happens to be listed.
    9. Return to the 'Library' folder.
    10. Open 'Image Capture'.
    11. Open the 'Twain Data Sources' folder.
    12. Send any Canon files related to your printer to the trash.
    13. Open the Applications folder.
    14. Open the Canon Utilities folder.
    15. Send the MP Navigator to the trash.
    16. Restart your computer.
    To get your MP800 Canon printer operating , please follow these steps:
    Download  the following  drivers:
    mcpd-mac-mp800-10_51_2-ea11.dmg
    msd_-mac-mp800-12_13_3-ej7.dmg
    mpnosx207ej7.dmg
    Once the downloads are completed,   open each installer package to begin setup.
    Once this process is completed, try scanning and printing with your MP800 Canon printer.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Canon printer problem!!

    Use Photoshop CS6 to edit and print (try to print) to a new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer.  Photoshop is up to date and the Mac runs OS 10.8.5 - Canon printer driver is current at ver. 11.7.1.
    When I print from Photoshop to the Pro-100 (let's say a 4X6 landscape snapshot to 4X6 borderless paper) the printer starts up and moves the paper out about 4 inches and then prints the
    first two inches of the image, stops and ejects the paper!.  I've tried different versions of printer the printer driver and made sure every things is up to date.  However, I can print from MS Word,
    Nikon Capture NX2, or Canon's own Print Studio Pro and it works fine.  Canon is no help because if it works OK with their Print Studio Pro then it's not their issue - I tend to agree with them.
    The same thing happens print from Photoshop to 5X7 or 8X10 paper - it gets ejected so far and then only prints part of the image.  I've searched the Internet and posted in Forums but can't find
    where any one would have the same problem.  What I'm hoping for here is someone at from Adobe who's knows Photoshop tech stuff will post here with suggestion because there is no more
    phone support for Photoshop CS6.  I'd like to really keep this printer and get Photoshop to work with it but if I can't I'm going to offer it up free to a good home!  JM Davis

    Thanks for your answer, indeed this fixed the problem. Quite stupid I did not see this myself

  • Good photo printer???

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a good photo printer? I was using a Kodak Easyshare Printer dock plus, but since upgrading to iPhoto6, it's seems that it's no longer supported. I'm only using it for personal use, not a professional photographer, but I want pictures of my son to look good and not fade. Some from a compact HP photo printer have faded after only 2 years. I'm not too concerned about cost at this point, just need some advice I can run with. Any suggestions?? Thanks.
    iMac (intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I too have the Epson R200 and it works great for the average user who wants photo quality photos. I use mine for presentations with photo glossy paper (I highly suggest because everyone goes "Oooo Ahhhh"). I believe they don't sell the R200 anymore but the Epson R220 is the updated version. I love my Epson so much that I bought my parents one for Christmas. They needed a all in one so I bought them the Epson Stylus Photo RX700. They really love it because they scan in old wedding pictures or pictures when my brothers and I were kids. Then they print them out and show them off to friends. It is a little pricey, but it is an all around good choice. Now my brother came to me recently and asked which printer company I liked. As you probably have guessed, I told him Epson. So since he is getting his second major in Photography he went out and bought the Epson Stylus Pro 4800 Professional Edition. He wasn't on iChat so I don't know anything about it, but it looks really nice. It is extremely expensive though, over two grand. That is some comparison that I though you might be interested in. I have used Epson since I bought the original iMac (I believe) and have always enjoyed them. They have yet to fail me, yet to fail, and best of all, they make wonderful pictures even around 4 years later.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon
    PS I think anything really from Cannon or Epson will suit your needs. Those are the only two companies that I trust for good quality.

  • Connected wirelessly to Canon printer MX340. Duplex printing option is grayed out for me but not on my daughter's non-Mac laptop or husband's PC which is connected to the printer. Mine has two-sided option available at the Apple store. Any ideas?

    We use a Canon MX340 series printer/fax/scanner. My husband has his PC hooked to it and my daughter prints wirelessly from it with no problem with her non-Mac laptop. I have trouble printing. Often it does not print and I have to delete the job from the queue. Other times it will print OK but two-sided printing is always grayed out in my printing options. When I took it to the Apple store and printed on their network (selecting their printer) the two-sided option was available. Makes me think the printer is set up wrong, but I am not certain. A fw times at home when trying to print I got an error message about incompatible fonts, but it printed anyway after deleting the job and starting over. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    OK, just an update.
    Two years into this, I still find I can only do full duplex printing by using Windows XP running inside of VMWare. I've had occasional, ephemeral luck with duplex printing, but nothing long lasting.
    I've tried this in Tiger and Leopard (now at 10.5.6), and I've had this issue with Canon printers MP780 iP4300 and MP610, direct connected to my Core2Duo 17" MBP. I also have this issue when printing over a network, but that's a much harder problem to solve.
    Currently, this is my #1 most pressing issue for my Mac, because not being able to print from a computer when you print a lot is a really big drag, and using VMWare all the time is also a really big drag. Other people posting seem to be able to print in Duplex using the very same printers. What could be wrong with my MBP? I see the duplex box option, but most of the time it's grayed out as if my printer doesn't support duplex.
    I've tried direct selecting printer drivers from the system preferences, but nothing seems to have an effect. And this is off of a clean Leopard install.
    My wife now has similar problems with her new MBP - the Canon print drivers (CUSP & non CUSP) aren't allowing the Duplex box to be checked.
    I am willing to pay good money to anyone who thinks they can fix this problem.
    Thank you,
    - Jeff

  • Canon printer and Snow Leopard

    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and have now spent up to 8 hours trying to get my Canon MX 340 working again.  I checked the printer log and it said that the printmanagerfailed, I found a topic here about the same problem and it stated to go into system preferences and right click the canon printer and to select reset printing system.   Well I did that and it wiped out all my printers so needless to say that didn't work. Now I can't get it setup at all.  I have reloaded all of the drivers and software and it isn't even showing up in my system preferences so I can't add it.  I am pulling my hair out and really really need some help.  HELP! 

    Why would I go to HP printer support, it is a canon printer and yes I did download Canon's driver, what a joke.  I have found some information on this forum but so far no good.  At least I now have it showing up in systems preferences but still not working.  I wished I had checked all this b4 upgrading since I may not have done it.  I have downloaded the Apple supplied driver so if anyone out there knows what to do now I still need help.

  • Downloaded Canon printer/scanner drivers for Canon PIXMA MP520 and MX860 on Mac Book laptop, and they worked.  However, when I downloaded the same two drivers on Mac Book Air, neither worked.

    I wasn't aware that VueScan charged a yearly license.
    You simply launch Image Capture and if the scanner is recognized it will be listed in the SHARED list in the left display column.  Select the scanner name and the app will start an overview scan.  You will also see a list of scanning options in the right display column (resolution, paper size, file output format, etc.
    The above description is when everything is working correctly, which has been the case for me.
    Good luck.
