Sees Printer, cant get a driver
Hey everyone,
Im trying to connect a printer (canon mx310) to the AEBS and it shows up on my mac as "canon mx310 series" and when i try to add it to my printer list it shows
Name: Canon MX310 Series
Location: (NAME OF MY AEBS)
Print Using: Please select a driver or printer model
the other options for print using is "auto select" ( which just ends up going back to please select a driver or printer model) and "select a driver" (which there is no printer driver in the list)
i saw some other people on the forums got it to work...but now that i look i dont see the thread anymore
thanks for the help
by the way-
when it is connected to the AEBS, windows computers cant connect either...
if there is a way by connecting the printer to a windows computer and trying to share it tell me please(because there is no canon mx310 printer driver in the driver list)
Try

Don't forget to select Mac OS X Operating System or you won't see any drivers

anyone any ideas on where to go - i just want to rescue it as its a great machine
arifYou're almost there .... bring up disk utitlity again, choose the new hard drive, and choose partition, name the hard drive, choose format mac OS extended (journaled), give it a size (most likely the entire drive will be one partitition), and under options make sure Apple partition map is chosen. Click partition, and you should now be able to install Tiger.

Nebie to mac cant get cd drive to read disk
hi i am new to macs got this used imac original i got it home and it booted up fine but when i put any disk in cd drive it runs for 2 seconds then a message pops up "this disk cant be read by this computer do u want to initionlize it ?
then i click continue it kicks they tray open and says it is locked . every disk i try does this even a live cd of linux . can anyone help me out is drive dead i bbought a new 9.2 disk to tryto load havent got it yet will it be able to load a apple disk ? is the cdrom icon suppose to be on desktop if it is it anit
BryonBryon,
This would be a behaviour to expect if one inserts a blank CD, since the original iMac is not capable of (internally) burning discs.
Otherwise, provided that the operating system is complete and contains the necessary helper files, the iMac should be able to see/read many CDs (at least the ones formatted Mac, hybrid or ISO9660). You may encounter difficulties with some home-burned discs (it is usually better to use CD-R than CD-RW).
However, if you are trying to boot the iMac from a CD, that is another matter. A proper Mac system disc is needed. If you buy a new system CD, make sure that it is a generic/universal disc, not one intended for a certain (other) Mac model. Also, when starting from a CD, press the C key.

i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro. the driver installation disk doesn't work. where can i get a driver that will work?
With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
System Preferences / Print & Scan
Click on the + button on the left column
Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
Type the IP address or look it up
Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
Click Add.
Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config. -

Cant get data from text file to print into Jtable
Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button. Goal is to find a record and print that record only, but for now i am trying to print all the records. Once i get that i will change my code to search desired record and print it. when i click the find button nothing happens. Can you please take a look at my code, dbTest() method. thanks.
void dbTest() {
DataInputStream dis = null;
String dbRecord = null;
String hold;
try {
File f = new File("customer.txt");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
Vector dataVector = new Vector();
Vector headVector = new Vector(2);
Vector row = new Vector();
// read the record of the text database
while ( (dbRecord = dis.readLine()) != null) {
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(dbRecord, ",");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
row.addElement(st.nextToken());
System.out.println("Inside nested loop: " + row);
System.out.println("inside loop: " + row);
dataVector.addElement(row);
System.out.println("outside loop: " + row);
headVector.addElement("Title");
headVector.addElement("Type");
dataTable = new JTable(dataVector, headVector);
dataTableScrollPane.setViewportView(dataTable);
} catch (IOException e) {
// catch io errors from FileInputStream or readLine()
System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!" + e.getMessage());
} finally {
// if the file opened okay, make sure we close it
if (dis != null) {
try {
dis.close();

If the printer was installed previously then you would not detect new hardware when plugging the printer in. Go to Start, Control Panel, Printers and check for an existing Deskjet 900 series printer. If this printer exists in the list double click on it and check to see if the printer is shown as offline or paused. If so correct the issue by clicking the appropriate line.
If the printer does not show as installed then install it as shown here. If this does not correct the issue then unplug the USB cable, then go to the device manager and delete the ports associates with the USB printer and allow the system to rediscover the USB devices.

How do I get Mac OSX 10.6.4 to print to a Canon iRC2380 colour printer? Using the driver in the Mac's list doesn't work., How do I get Mac OSX 10.6.4 to print to A Canon iRC2380 colour printer? Using the driver in the Mac's list doesn't work.
Not sure which driver you mean when you say "the driver in the Mac's list". Apple does not provide a driver for this device, so if you mean one of the default printers that are included with 10.6, like the Generic Postscript or Generic PCL, then these will only work if the optional PS or PCL print kits were installed in the machine. Given your inability to print then it would seem that you have neither kit installed. So this would require you to install the Canon UFR2 driver, which you can obtain via this link.
With the UFR2 driver installed, you add the printer using IP > LPD. Enter the IP address of the iRC2380, leave the Queue name blank and change the Name to iRC2380. Leave the Location field blank and in the Print Using menu, browse to the "Canon iR C2380/2550 UFR II (UK)". Click OK and then Add to complete the queue creation. You should now be able to print. Please reply if it does not work. -

Please read this post then provide some details. What operating system? Are there any error messages on the computer screen or blinking lights on the printer? What program are you using to print?

after running mac tuneup got a red dot on the hard drive icon, nothing would respond, now on restart cant get past white screen with apple logo, mac tune up disk still in laptop
Restart your MBP holding the trackpad down and hopefully the disk will be ejected. Then try to return it and get a refund or put it in the trash. There is nothing that software does for your MBP that you cannot do yourself or with free software.
If can get your MBP started, delete all traces of the offending software. Worst case is that you may have to erase the HDD and reload the OS and your user data. I trust that you have a backup (minus MacTuneUp).
Courcoul has given you his opinion in a very succinct manner, and as you might surmise, I agree with him.

I can't see my Canon MG5220 printer... Initially I was getting "there is a communication error" so I rebooted everything, reset the printing system, reinstalled the driver and still NO luck! I see no printers available in the Print & Scan area. If I click "+" it seems to see the scanner, but never the printer. HELP!
The printer component uses a different protocol to advertise itself on the network compared to the scanner component and it can take several seconds longer to appear after the scanner has.
That said, with the introduction of AirPrint, the MG should be seen as Bonjour Multifunction in the Add Printer window, as shown below.
Selecting this Bonjour Multifunction entry will create a printer using AirPrint and a scanner using the iCA driver.
So do you see the MG5220 as Bonjour Multifunction or just Bonjour?
