Setup Canon Pixma ip1500

Hi,
I wanted to setup my Canon Pixma ip1500, it is connected via USB.
Now my Question:
In the printer manager, which model should I use? There are many BJxxx models there but nothing like ip1500 or pimxa, which one should i pick instead if possible?
Thanks,
Mohamz

I just took a quick peek at Canon's website.
It appears that they do not offer any drivers for Solaris, nor for any Linux distro.
You're limited to Win98-WinXP or to MacOS 9.x and OS-X.
Same for their UserGuide manuals -- either Windows or MacOS, no others.
The specifications page for the i1500 repeats that, as well.
You may just have to share the printer from a Windows system or from a MacOS system on your network.
(B.T.W. ---- my first attempt to look at that Canon site failed because I wasn't using I.E. Once I launched I.E. the website displayed. So .... Canon doesn't even like non-Microsoft web browsers, let alone someone else's Operating Environment ! )

Printing to Windows Printer (Canon Pixma iP1500)

I have a Canon Pixma iP1500 connected to my Windows PC, shared on my home network. On my MacBook I can see the Windows PC and can even see the printer but when I add it the model doesn't show up in the list of printer types.
If I plug in the printer directly to the MacBook it works fine but not across the network.
I have searched the forums and found some suggestions, none of which work. I even tried something called "PrintFab" and it doesn't work either.
This is so frustrating. I'm a new Mac user and I want to be able to print from my MacBook without having to plug it into the printer.
Any suggestions?

Greg
I too am new to Mac. I downloaded and installed the printfab trial version and followed the instructions included. This problem has been driving me nuts for several days now... My MBP now see's and PRINTS great so far, thanks for your post and help!!

Macbook pro is not working with Canon pixma iP1500, but has previously. The printer works with an old PC without trouble. "printer is offline" message when this printer is plugged into macbook. Any clues to get it to work?

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.

PKGBUILD for Canon Pixma iP1500 Printer

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the correct place, maybe the forum needs a "AUR Packages release" section?
I wrote a PKGBUILD to this printer and I know that it's very difficult to find this driver, and it even can be easily modified to get others similar Canon printers working so I post it here.
I uploaded to AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pixma … 0/PKGBUILD

Glad to help the Arch community the same way you had helped me
@ Chris|MD: When I was searching how to get working mine, I read on Gentoo Forums that someone got the iP2000 working with the Canon BJC-7100 foomatic driver (foomatic package it's in extra repository). You can try that and see if works for you.

You may need to give it a static IP address to avoid the connection being dropped occasionally http://forumhelp.dyndns.info/hardware/printers.html
My MG6150 took a couple of attempts to get connected so it appears the odd Canon printer can be tempermental.
If you are using Win7 then you can change the IP address by accessing the printers configuration page by clicking on its icon in the network map. You get taken to its webpage where you need to click on advanced settings then network settings and input the data required - use IPv4 only the subnet mask etc are as shown in the link above.

My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printercan no longer find my wireless network. (It worked fine until recently) I have a Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and the Canon LAN printer setup routine many times. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.

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.

Cannot make Canon PIXMA MX922 fax to work with "Windows Fax And Scan" on Windows 7, 8.1

I have Canon PIXMA MX922 multifunction printer installed wireless on iMac OS X Mavericks. It works great but there is no fax drivers for Mac. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed on Parallel Desktop. I am able to print and scan on these machines. I can scan using "Windows Fax and Scan" and other programs including My Image Gardens but no luck with faxing. I can send faxes using print function and chosing a Cannon MX920 series fax driver. The problem is to recieve faxes. I've connected MX922 wireless and wired with no help.
Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

Hi Anton,
thank you for your advice.
In case this is going to fix itself in 25 hours I will check for the issue then. I'm gonna let you know whether the issues has disappeared.
But it sounds to me a little bit, like you have been expecting that behaviour? Have you? Especially within a Lab it is very confusing to have test clients which appear fully functional 25 hours after the setup has been succeeded.
I've followed your annotation and posted the log files on the Connect portal.
Thx
Peter

Cannot find the installed driver for Canon Pixma ip6600D

Hello,
I'm pretty new with Mac and OS X and got one problem to use a previous installed driver.
First, please excuse my bad english, I'll do my very best
I've got a Buffalo Linkstation Live 320GB with implemented USB Ports.
You can take the USB Port to use with a printer.
The Linkstation will be a Windows Printserver.
I've connected a Canon Pixma ip6600D at USB Port one and all works fine with Windows XP and Vista via network.
Printing with this Network device uses Windows Network-printing like -> workgroup\buffalo\lp (lan printer)
With Windows this works very well. But now im using OS X Leopard.
So I've downloaded the Canon Mac OS X 10.5 Driver for the ip6600D (can be used for Network printing) and installed it.
OS X wants to reboot, so I think the extension is installed fine.
After this im going to "System adjustments" -> "Printers and Fax" -> "Windows" -> "Workgroup" -> "buffalo" -> "lp"
The Printer is found and here comes my problem: The ip6600D driver does not appear in the drop down list. Only Gutenprint ip6700.
I'm able to print with this driver, but it doesn't work very well and im not able to use CD printing.
So, wehere ist the ip6600D driver? Lost in nowhere?
If I want to search for the driver, nothing could be found.
Searching with Spotlight for ip6600 doesn't find something to use.
Only the installer image of the driver and some web links.
How do I choose the installed ip6600D driver?
Thank you much for any help.

Since there doesn't appear to be an iP6600 driver within the Gutenprint v5.1.3 list, then you could try one of the other iP models, like the iP5200. The key is to find a model that uses the same ink tanks as your iP6600D (and preferably the same engine but that is not as easy to find). If one of the other IP models doesn't help, then you could try the S800. With older versions of Gutenprint I would recommend this model as it would be good enough for text printing, but not that good for images.
If you are unable to find a compatible printer then you may have to look at changing some things. The Canon printer driver has not been designed to be used on the Mac OS X when the printer is being shared by Windows, hence the need to Gutenprint. If this model is not supported in later versions of Gutenprint, then you could look at using PrintFab (which you will have to pay for) or changing the network setup so that the printer is not connected to Windows, such as getting an Airport Express/Extreme. This would allow both OS's to connect to the printer using the Canon driver. Or you could connect the printer to the Mac and get Windows to connect to the Mac share using Bonjour for Windows.

Can't install canon pixma mp 980 for wireless printing

I've installed the canon pixma software for the mp 980 and ran the connection test and got a very good connection. When I try to add the printer , I've clicked on "More Printers" and it scanned to look for drivers and didn't come back with any results. I can't get the printer to show up in the list of available printers.
My Macbook is connected to the LAN wirelessly and the printer has been set up to print wirelessly. I have a Windows machine on the network that can print to the printer.
Any suggestions?

It could be a WPA key issue but I have never had such a problem with my MP980 to confirm this. You could try temporarily disabling the encryption and then seeing if the printer can be found. Note that you will have to reconnect the printer via USB to set the changes in the machine.
If disabling the encryption does not help, then I would ensure that you can ping the IP address of the MP980. If you don't get a reply, then it would indicate that something went wrong with the network setup and this is why the device is not seen in the More Printers > Canon IJ Network menu.
If you do get a response, then there could be something blocking the advertising of the printer, such as the internal firewall of the Mac. This has to be set to 'Allow all incoming connections' for the printer to be seen.

Please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

please help me, How to connect my printer Canon pixma MP160 to my mac OS X Yosemite?

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

How can I get iMac to recognize Canon Pixma mp990 printer wirelessly?

Although my Canon Pixma MP990 printer/scanner shows I've properly set it up for wifi, and the blue wifi light illuminates on the printer, my iMac now refuses to recognize that my printer is connected. Imac now shows the printer as offline. When the printer was set up for corded/wired connection, the Imac worked fine with it. How can I get iMac to recognize the wireless printer setup? Thanks!

Hi ..
Click here > Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : PIXMA MP990
Then click Wireless Help
Make sure the printer is recognized in System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
If not, download and install the drivers designated for the mp990 model.
In the System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print window, click + (plus) to add the printer.
