Suddenly cannot print to Canon wireless printer

I'm on an iMac with Yosemite 10.10.3 and also have two Macbooks on the same network. We have been using a Canon MG6620 wireless printer for several months without a hitch. Suddenly, between documents, the printer and computers stopped talking to each other. The printer still thinks it's on the network when I check its configuration. AirPort Utility still shows it being connected to the network via my AirPort Extreme. It still shows as the default printer in System Preferences. Yet, when I try to print I get an error that says "the printer is not connected to the network." I have restarted/rebooted the computers and the printer. I have reset the printer preferences. I have unplugged the printer. I have tried printing from the Macbooks. Nothing is working, and this happened literally between me printing two different documents!!! I'm at a loss for an explanation. Any guidance would be appreciated. Oh, and this all started BEFORE I updated to 10.10.3, so don't blame the update :-)

Don't worry about that. The main thing is that you can now connect to the internal web page of the printer, which in turn means you can now print to the Canon.

Suddenly cannot print to hp6510 which works from mac?

Suddenly cannot AirPrint to hp6510 from ipad2. Printer works perfectly with MacBook. iPad networked correctly to routers etc. what and how to check what is wrong?i

Hello John,
I found some resources that I think might help with the issue you are experiencing when trying to print from your iPad.
First, I recommend following these steps:
If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
Verify that the printer:
Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
Has the latest firmware version installed.
Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.

If you are still having trouble printing after following those steps, I recommend following these steps:
Wi-Fi disconnects, or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.

Suddenly cannot print PDFs

My main computer suddenly stopped being able to print PDFs to a networked HP LaserJet printer. When I try to print, I get a first message saying "the document could not be printed" followed by a second message saying "there were no pages selected to print." However, there are pages selected and I've also tried printing the entire document, printing as image, printing other PDFs etc, all with the same results. I was able to print without any problems up until a couple of days ago and I haven't installed anything on the computer.
I can print from other applications like Word or PowerPoint. Other computers on my network can print theses same PDFs to the same printer without problems.
Can anyone suggest cause or solution to this? Thanks for any help.

Maybe an update of the LJ driver on the user's system?

HP P3015 Cannot Print

I will have to travel to that location and try those suggestions...I'll report my findings tomorrow. Appreciate the help!

Hello everyone!I'm having some trouble resolving an issue relating to a printer attached to the network. The printer is an HP P3015 which is has a static assigned IP address but is not installed onto a print server. From what I am being told, the user in question was able to print earlier in the week but all of the sudden cannot print to this device.As a temporary fix, I've asked him to print to another device until I can resolve. I've tried everything else that I already know (see below). As I write this, I'm waiting on the results of Malwarebytes to finish so I can possibly rule out the chance of malware.Printer has static IPPowered off the printer, waited a solid 30-45 seconds, powered back on with no changeI can ping the IP addressI cannot access the printer via web interfaceTest pages and other documents are passed into the print...

Cannot print to wireless HP 7280 with Time Capsule

I just put up Time Capsule. My windows and mac machines are able to hook into the wireless router portion with no problem. My main problem is that I cannot print to my HP7280 wireless printer. I had a belkin wireless router that I replaced with the TC. The belkin worked fine with the printer but TC does not. I am able to ping the printer and I have deleted and reinstalled the printer on the Mac with no problems. When I go to print it says that it is unable to connect to the printer and will retry in 30 seconds. I can see the items in the queue but they won't print.
One other point. I have a Canon Mp830 hooked in through USB to the TC and it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks

I cannot get my new MacBook Pro (using OSX Mavericks) to communicate with my HP Officejet4500 Wireless. I can print when I use a connecting USB cable, but cannot print wirelessly. All of my Mac software updates are current as of 4/20/2014, which included an update for HP printers. When I used the disk to install the printer software, it did not have a screen for entering my wireless router ID or passcode. In the Mac System Preferences for Print and Scan, my Officejet 4500 G510n-z is listed, but to no avail. What do I have to do to get my Mac to print wirelessly? Thanks.

OK, thanks for that. It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test. Is the printer connected to the network? If it is not:
a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
3. Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

HP Deskjet 2540 and Galaxy Tab 3 - cannot print wirelessly

Hello
I would be very grateful for help with the following issue.
I have an HP Deskjet 2540 and a Galaxy Tab 3 (Android) and wish to print wirelessly from the tablet.
I have installed the ePrint app and the ePrint All-in One Remote app on the tablet.
In order to print I have to change the tablet's wifi connection from my home wifi to the printer's wifi which means that I cannot print straight from the internet.
I have tried saving web pages and then printing i.e not using the home wifi but a message appears on the tablet saying " Connect to Samsung printer".
My question is therefore, how do you print when you can only have one wireless connection on the tablet at a time i.e either the home wifi or the printer? Every time I want to print, do I have to change the wifi connection on my tablet from my home wifi to the printer's?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi Sujo,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you are unable to print web pages from your Android Galaxy Tab 3 tablet because you are using the printer’s wireless direct feature which does not have internet connectivity.
Let’s get the printer connected to your home wireless network. If you have a computer running a Window or Mac operating system it’s fairly easy to connect the printer. Please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for the operating system that is running on your computer.
If you only have your tablet available, please follow the steps in the post by @Jon-W titled “How can I setup a Deskjet 3050a/J611 to my Chromebox?”. Please start where he says “There is another alternative but it can be hit or miss”.
Once you have the printer connected to your wireless network you should be able to print web pages as both devices will now be connected to your wireless network. Please let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

HP Laserjet P1006 suddenly quit printing wirelessly - in between print jobs. Instantly.

Hi -
I used to be able to print wirelessly from my macbook Pro (OSX 10.8.3) to my Laserjet P1006.
I can still print if I plug in via USB, but as soon as I unplug, the "print and scan" window says my printer is offline.
I was inbetween print jobs when suddenly the printer stopped allowing my computer to print wirelessly. There was nothing I could see that would have set it off.
I have tried shutting everything down (computer and printer, even wireless router) and turning back on.
I have tried telling computer not to remember printer... then connecting again with USB to get it to recognize as new. That didn't work.
I tried to follow instructions for MAC and for this specific printer from a post someone else made, but the instructions said to hit utility from the "Open Print Queue" window and I didn't have that option. It also said to look for Bonjour, I didnt' have that option.
I'm frazzled.
How can I get my wireless connection back?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Teh Laserjet P1006 is a USB only printer and does not provide any wireless connection:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01173154&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
May you connected the pritner to a print server (a USB port of a router, etc.) in the past? yje specific model does not support any connection without using a USB.

OfficeJet 6500 E709N Series ~ Cannot Print Wirelessly....

TRIED EVERYTHING~
Here it goes: We have a Mac running OSx 10.5.7 and PC with Windows XP, and A Laptop with windows XP. Our Wireless Router is a Lnksis 3-G wireless.
I purchased the HPOJ-6500-e709n yesterday and have setting it up all night. Tried this on the mac.
At first how I had everything connected.Ethernet Cable to the router, and usb to the printer. Set up went through all phases including fax. Was able to print fine. I was never prompted to disconnect the cables but directions included state you must test the wireless connection. I did and the printer did nothing. I reconnected the ethernet cable and was able to print what was in the que. However not wirelessly as I tried this several times.
Directions lead me to test firewall rules and check them. I added rules for UDP and TCP to allow all coming from the URL given in the network config page I printed from the printer. I also added the mac address to the list of allowed attached devices as I added access control as well. I tested this several times and also added the printer using the url. After I had done all this allowing all ports to connect it was able to allow me to view supply levels for ink and even print diagnostic reports wirelessly through the printer manager but cannot print documents.... WEIRD.
I loaded it each time with the correct driver and did all I can to allow it on all ports. The only thing that I can think of at this juncture is that we have a house system that apparently is running on here that I do not administrate. It really has nothing to do with it but I changed the URLs to start managing at 0.100+ as the rep wanted 1-100 to be used by there system so we are running it at 192.168. 0.101...
What should I do?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

OK, there may be something else going on, but try this:
Remove the Ethernet and USB cables
Make sure the radio is on (may not hurt to reboot the router and printer, too)
Delete and add the printer under the Default tab - the one marked with Bonjour
Reboot the computer and try to print.

I cannot print from my ipad. It is connected to the wireless okay. I have only had this ipad for a month and while I am not sure I think it has been okay to print before 2 days ago, when I tried to print and I got the message "Airprinter not found" Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it? I have no trouble printing from my computer.

Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.

Cannot print to Canon iR-ADV C2020 after updated to Mavericks!!

Cannot print to Canon iR C3080

I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. (Had trouble -- after two calls to Apple Support, finally was directed to delete start up services and that corrected initial problems).
Now, I cannot print to networked Canon iR C3080. I've downloaded, mounted/installed (I think) latest version of drivers from Canon, but everytime I add the Canon, system keeps using Version 2.0 as the driver. I think it should be Version 2.7.
I've seen multiple posts saying to, "just" delete the old printer drivers using Finder in HD>Library>Printers. I don't have a clue how to do that. Where? How? This information -- "delete old printer drivers using Finder in HD>Library>Printers" -- doesn't explain how, to me.
b.

Thank you very much for trying to help.
My Preview page doesn't show an "About" option. I can open the same "Preview, Layout, Color Matching, Paper Handling, etc." menu -- I see the same first six options as your screen shot, above. But instead of "Finishing, Quality, Special Features, About," at the bottom of the menu, instead I have "Paper Type/Quality, Advanced Print Options, Supply Levels" to choose from. No "About".
So, tracing your final paragraph, I went to System Information (Applications>Utilities) folder. I do not have a list of Printers on the left column. But using Finder's Go>Go to Folder menu, I can open /Library/Printers. [Thanks again -- didn't know how to get there before.] In that Folder, I see more folders for Brother, Canon, DYMO, Epson, hp, Lexmark, PPDs, and Samsung.
Trying to correct the problems, I first deleted the Canon folder by moving it to Trash. Then I mounted the CanonPrinterDrivers.pkg that I previously downloaded from Canon's website. (By double-clicking that package and following the installation dialogue prompts.) Now, when I go back to the /Library/Printers folder, I again see Canon as one of the folders. Within the Canon folder, I see two more folders, BJPrinter and IJScanner. Within BJPrinter, I see several more folders: Filters, Frameworks, PDEs, Plugins, Resources, and Utilities. I don't see anything in any of those folders that tells me what Version of the Driver I have installed.
So I went back System Preferences > Print & Scan, and tried to add my Canon printer. In the Add screen, I've selected the IP option, then went through the Address (192.168.x.x., where the x's represent the actual IP address of my networked printer), named the Printer, and hit the Add radio button. Unsuccessful. The software can't "find" the printer and even when I push through that error message, I get another saying to "reinstall the software" per the manufacturer's instructions. (Isn't that what I did per the preceding paragraph?) Completely unsuccessful. I don't even have the Canon printer listed in any Print dialogue. (Before these efforts, the Canon printer would show up as an option -- but after trying to print to it, I'd get a failure notice, as set forth in my first posting here.)
I'd be happy to add in screen shots, if you'll tell me how to capture and paste them!

Cannot print to Canon LBP 3360 since upgrading to Mavericks

I cannot print to my Canon LBP 3360 since upgrading to Mavericks. Would anyone know of a work around for this. Canon is not making any promises about upgrading the driver.

Canon Australia seems to have resolved this issue for all UFR II/UFRII LT printers . Ooof !

Cannot print from Canon MF4412 through USB port of Time Capsule

Hi everyone,
I've recently purchased a new Canon imageCLASS MF4412 and cannot print while connected to the USB port of the time capsule. I can print and scan perfectly when connected directly to the mac.
This is the exact steps I took:
1.After connecting the usb cable to the back of Time capsule, I go to the sys pref pane to add a printer.
2.It shows up as a 'Bonjour' and I had to manually select the driver.
3.It added fine and I thought everything was setup.
4.However, when i go to print something, there's an error. "Canon URF II Printer Driver"
"Cannon communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again. Then, if the Print Dialog box has a [Printer Info] button, acquire the printer information: 10322"
Anybody know of a solution?
Thanks.

I got a similar problem on MF4412, the canon 4412 is connected the newest airport extreme , it get configured. But I got same problem described about on my leopard, lion, even worst on iOS, it does not find the printer. But I got a Windows 7 starter NetBook ...haha it works, I can print it from Windows. what is the problem then,it works on Windows but not Apple's OS??????
