Scanning problems with Canon Pixma 5300 series after upgrading to newest Macbook Pro

Are there drivers available for Canon pixma 5300 series for OS X Mavericks 10.9?
Scanning with my brand new Macbook pro using OS X 10.9 just isn't working like it used to with my old white Macbook.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have an MG53xx? If so, then a scanner driver for this model is available from Apple so that you can scan with Image Capture / Preview. So if you open Printers and Scanners and select the MG53xx, you should have two tabs - Print and Scan.
Canon also has a scanning application called MP Navigator available from their web site. To use this application you will also need to download and install the scanner driver for the MG53xx, which should also be available from the same Canon web site.

Scanning problems with Canon Pixma MX300

Hi!
Alright, so I can print with the canon pixma mx300, but I cannot scan. I am able to get to the scan driver (scan gear), but once it starts to scan, the program begins to become non-responsive, I can hear the printer doing something, but the program just starts to freeze. The printer is connected directly to my computer, and I have no clue what to do now.
Erm...help

There is a possibility that some other software on your Mac is interfering with the Canon software. This could be the case if you had another brand of AIO (All in One) or a standalone scanner installed previously on this Mac.
If this was the case, then open System Preferences then Accounts. Select your account and then select Login Items. This is a list of all the items set to open when you log in. Some scanner applications will be shown in this list and if they are not related to the MX300 then this could be the problem. If you see something that you know you no longer have, then you can highlight the application and remove it by pressing minus ( - ) button. If you are not sure, write down what is listed and post it back here.
Sometimes there can be other applications that can be running in the background, but will not be shown in this list. For these types of apps, you need to have your Activity Monitor open when you attempt to scan. This will show the scangear application using a lot of your CPU resources. But hopefully it will also show another application that is running and using CPU resources, which often causes the freeze you mention. If you haven't used it before then this can be a tad daunting to look at. So if you want to take a screen grab, showing the scan gear app at the top, then post it somewhere to view I can have a look at it.
My last suggestion is to try another scanning application, like Image Capture or Preview. This can help to narrow-down the possible causes of the problem. If neither of these work, then it would suggest that ScanGear has a problem and needs removing/reinstalling. Let me know how the above suggestions go and if they are no help then I will give steps to remove the scanner software.

Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

Hi
I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
Thanks Portozzygirl

More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

HP P1006 DOES NOT PRINT after upgrading to a Macbook Pro 15 i7

HP P1006 does not work after upgrading to a Macbook Pro 15 i7 2,6 with Mac OS 10.6.3
I have used Time Machine to migrate from my previous MBP 15 C2D.
I've tried to remove the printer in system pref. and install it again.
The installer works fine but close to the end of the installation a new app is starting: HP Laserjet Firmware Update Utility, which won't start and just stays jumping at the dock, although the HP Installer succeeds to finish installing.
So when i try to print, the printer stays idle.
I have tried to download the installer from HP official website. Same story.
Also tried to do Permission Repair in Disk Utility
Please, if anyone knows a solution, help!

After the 4th try of Installing the software it finally worked!
Thanks anyway!

Problems with result area in workbooks after upgrade to BW 3.5

Hi,
we are experiencing some problems with our <b>workbooks</b> after the upgrade to BW 3.5. When refreshing all queries in a workbook (that was there before 3.5) without selecting a specific query we get the message <b>'Result area</b> cannot be found, specify a new one'. After selecting, the message appears again in an infinite loop.
Has anybody had similar problems and has found a solution for this?
Thanks,
EMS

Hi,
I am having that message, always if I delete a Sheet which contains an embeded query.
Even the sheet is deleted, the SAPBEX has information of all the embeded queries, and tries to find the Result area to put the data.
To find out if this is your case as well,
select an empty cell in a Sheet and continue like that, until all the embeded queries are been displayed.
Regards
Vasso

Frequent Crashes after upgrading to ML (Macbook Pro 15" 2010)

I have been experiencing numerous, frequent crashes ever since upgrading my computer (Macbook Pro, 15", 2010 model) to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. The crashes appear to be very random; they don't happen at startup and aren't associated with any particular application or action. For example, I once experienced a crash while opening a file in VLC. After restarting, I was able to use VLC without any problems, and instead experienced a crash when opening a bookmark in Safari (which wasn't a problem earlier). In all cases, the screen turns black for a second and then the computer forcibly restarts.
Below I have pasted the details of the error report that the computer wants to send to Apple. I've had nearly 20 of these since upgrading on Wednesday night, and I don't know if they are all the same. But hopefully someone can help me here; I don't know how to interpret this log in order to pinpoint what is causing the problem. This looks a lot like the "kernel panics" that others have reported, but I just don't know what that means or how to fix it.
Also, I ran Software Update and am currently up-to-date.
Thanks so much,
Anthony

Intermittent Print/Scan Problems with Canon MF8380Cdw on Wireless Network

For nearly a year now, I've experienced problems printing and scanning using the Canon MF8380Cdw on our network. The most troubling are the intermitent problems getting the printer to respond during a print job after the device has been found on the network. Less troubling but still annoying are the problems scanning: it's very difficult to initiate a scan job. It usually requires trying to initiate the job from the printer AND from the computer in quick succession. I have reinstalled drivers many times. Why isn't printing and scanning effortless?
Print sequence messages in the Canon MF8300C Series print manager:
Printing - Looking for printer: takes a long time.
Printing - Connecting to printer: takes a long time.
Printing - The printer is not responding: takes a long time; indicates failure.
Some information that may help:
The client software correctly identifies the printer's IP address.
The wirless router is an Apple Airport Extreme Basestation.

Canon MF8300C Series driver, version 10.0.0

Base station, laptop, and printer are all in the same corner of the same room--signal strength is not an issue. Have had problems, previously, when printer was connected to switch via ethernet. So... Nice thought, but I don't believe that's it.
Other things that didn't work: restarting printer, restarting computer.
Is it possible that OS updates mess with the driver, requiring reinstallation? Our PC users do not seem to have these issues.
I am also using a non-UFR II driver this time, but per a suggestion from a forum, I tried UFR II previously. I have read many forum exchanges involving Canon/Mac problems and have tried several solutions proposed by PAHU.
Reinstalled printer driver again today, and I can print again (for now), but it's an intermittent problem, likely to return.
Thoughts?

Lan problems with canon Pixma mp990

I've just got a Canon Pixma mp990 printer - mainly because og the wireless connection. The installation worked fine on my girlfrinds Macbook with Leopard. But on my own Macbook Pro with snowleopard, i can't make it work.
I can detect the scanner - but not the printer. I've downloaded the newest drivers on canons website. Iv'e tried canons support - but the gave up. Told me it had something to do with my Snowleopard installation (apperently there was a 'other printer' button missing in the 'add printer' window. And therefor they couldnt help me!)
I've also tried installing the drivers on a new user-account on the mac - agian with no luck.
Hope someone can help me...

With the correct Canon drivers installed, either via the Canon web site or via the Apple download, you should be able to get the MP990 working. I have the MP980 and have been printing via wireless for a couple of months now with Snow Leopard.
To add the MP990 as a network printer you need to be patient. The scanner portion of the machine appears very quickly but the printer portion, which uses the canonijnetwork protocol to publish the printer on the network, takes some time to appear (usually no longer than 10 seconds). So, when you click to Add the printer and select the Default browser view (the More Printers menu mentioned to the OP by his Canon support is used for 10.5, not 10.6) you will see the MP990 as a Bonjour Scanner very quickly. If you don't see the scanner, then something is wrong with your MP990 wireless setup. After you see the scanner just wait with the Default window open. The printer should appear after a short while. When it does, select it - the Print Using menu will automatically change to Canon MP990 series.
If the MP990 as a printer does not appear, then do you have Parallels 4 or earlier installed? This is known to stop the networked Canon printer from appearing in the Default browser view. This issue is resolved with Parallels 5, but there is an upgrade cost involved. If you don't want to part with your money, then check this forum by searching Parallels. There is information about how you can stop the Parallels virtual network ports via Terminal so that you can see the networked printer.

Printing problems with Canon Pixma IP4700

I used to use a PC, photoshop and my Canon pixma IP4700. With this i could achieve perfect results on an A4 image. I have embedded the correct paper profile and my colour management system was set up just right. I have now upgraded to a mac(running Snow Leopard OS) , but i am now getting problems with my prints. I opened up the exact same .psd file without changing anything and sent it off to print on my canon. The result has came out far too bright?. When i used my PC I would have a lot more controls within my printer driver screen, but now with the mac the printer driver screen dosnt have very many controls at all. Even when i soft proof the print on the print screen it dose not show it any ware near as bright as the end result print.
I am a student of photography and i have asked a few of my class mates and they say that they have had the same problem. They tend to use a professional printers, but as i had received such perfect prints before I know this result is obtainable.
Is there anything anyone can suggest to help??
If there is any more information i can provide to help just let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi there,
In reading your post I'd be curious to see the cups error log. Given that the Gutenprint drivers would not print also, I would say that something is wrong with the core printing system. The log would show which filter is causing the spooler to stop.
Thinking that it is CUPS related, I would try resetting printing system (if you haven't done so already). Then I would add the queue again using the Gutenprint driver for starters. If this doesn't work then no need to try the Canon driver.
Note that the Canon test print is not an actual print but an instruction to output the inbuilt data. But the test print via the Gutenprint printer queue is a page generated by CUPS. So this would suggest that the CUPS usb backend is okay and something further up the spool creation process is failing. Again, the cups error log would give some clues as to what is going wrong. As to why both driver sets are failing is interesting...

Problems with Canon Pixma iP4300

I just purchased a new Canon Pixma iP4300 printer and can't find it in Printer Setup Utility to add as a new printer.
When I connect it directly to my MacBook Pro (Core Duo) it is invisible. I have downloaded the latest drivers available from Canon. Given the point below I am fairly certain it is not a problem with my USB cable either because the printer is recognised when I plug my USB printer cable into the Airport Express.
Confusingly, I can connect to it through my Airport Express base-station using Bonjour. A problem with this connection is that it does not allow me to use the utilities - so, for example, I can't align the print heads - or use any of the other software that came with the printer because it doesn't recognise the printer over the wireless network.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

And as soon as I posted this I found a spare USB cable and tried that... and it worked.
I guess the USB cable connects properly with the Airport Express and not with my MacBook Pro. Curious. Very curious.

Printing Problems with Canon Pixma MP830 under 10.5.5.

Hi All.
Strange one here. I'll try to keep it short.
A client just bought a 24" iMac (running Leopard 10.5.5) and all was great until they tried to connect their Canon Pixma MP830 to it. The client installed connected the printer to the USB port in back, installed the software from the Canon CD, and soon discovered they could not print from any application -- however, they could do a test print (cleanings, alignments, test, etc.) without issue.
They ended up calling both Apple and Canon for several sessions and no one could figure it out.
So I get the call. I remove the printer completely from the system, emtpied the trash, repair permissions, blew out the user and system cache, restart and installed the fresh Leopard-friendly drivers from Canon. I also ran the firmware upgrade for the printer, which took just fine. When I did a test print -- no problem. When I tried to print from Safari -- nothing.
So I then I thought I would try the Gutenprint v5.1.3 drivers for that printer. Nada.
I downloaded the GutenPrint 5.2.0-beta4 drivers, still nada.
At a last ditch effort I tried a new USB cable, still nada.
Curious if anyone has seen this problem and perhaps as a solution? Aside from buying a new printer that is (they are already shopping, but not happy about it).
Thanks!

Scanning problems with Canon IR 2200

I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.1.0, when I try to scan from a Canon IR 2200 using their network scangear v1.20 both programs become unresponsive. I am able to preview the scan but the operation halts. Can anyone help me please?
Thanks

Do you have an MG53xx? If so, then a scanner driver for this model is available from Apple so that you can scan with Image Capture / Preview. So if you open Printers and Scanners and select the MG53xx, you should have two tabs - Print and Scan.
Canon also has a scanning application called MP Navigator available from their web site. To use this application you will also need to download and install the scanner driver for the MG53xx, which should also be available from the same Canon web site.
