System not seeing my Canon MG5422 Wifi printer all of a sudden.

My iMac installed the OS X 10.2.2 update on 30 Jan and I upgraded my Comcast cable modem on 3 Feb. My Wifi works fine but all of a sudden I can't see my printer. I tried to print something and got a "cannot communicate with the printer error". So I removed the printer from System Preferences and now I can't get it back. When I hit the "+" button to add a printer I get the add screen but there's nowhere to go from there...the system does not see the printer so won't add it automatically, I can search it but can't find it, and I cannot get to an input point to add a name. So I cannot communicate to the printer.
The two things that have changed are the 10.2.2 update (which was supposed to fix some wifi issues) and the new cable modem, but like I said the wifi for internet (web and email) is working fine. Has the Yosemite update caused similar issues with anyone?

Then go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print then click ➕.
You may need to re enter your Wi-Fi password for the printer to work > Canon U.S.A. : Wireless Help

G5 not seeing firewire hard drive on restart all of a sudden?

Recently I noticed my G5 not seeing my external 400GB fire drive after a restart or boot up. It has been connected since January and has not had this problem before. The only way it sees it is if I turn the drive off and on again, then it pops up on the desktop. Is there a preference somewhere that may have been turned off or on for this? If not, what do I need to do so that it sees it all the time? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I had a FireWire external case that became flakey on me. It was a really cheap one, so I guess I got what I paid for.
Symptoms are similar, though not exact. It would sometimes take 10 or more minutes for it to mount to the desktop after a startup (sometimes it would never mount). If I let it spin down during use, it would not spin back up upon attempted access. If it spun down during use, I'd start getting the +beach ball+ until I yanked it out without ejecting; it would not eject off desktop because it would not spin back up. I got the warning message about not ejecting first, but the beach ball went away immediately. It wasn't the drive inside, since it worked when I put it into another case later.
I've read some negative reports recently about Western Digital external drives and problems working with Macs. I think I also read about a firmware upgrade for their external drive (can't remember positively). You may want to look at their support web page.
If you had another external FireWire drive or another Mac to plug that drive into, you could do some more conclusive tests to see if it's the Mac or the drive causing the problem.
Personally, I avoid buying external drives made by companies that cater to Windows users. Western Digital makes excellent drive mechanisms; most of my current drives are WD. However, I wouldn't buy an external drive enclosure from WD, Seagate, or Maxtor. I think they have Windows-centric features that interfere when operating with Macs. I now choose external drive enclosures from Mac-oriented companies like OWC, LaCie, MacAlly, G-Drive, and some others.

Image Capture does not recognize my Canon Pixma MP150 printer

Image Capture does not recognize my Canon Pixma MP150 printer since I upgraded to Mavericks.

To scan with Image Capture you need an ICA driver. Looking through the CanonDevices list in the /Library/Image Capture folder I cannot see an entry for the MP150. And I checked Canon Australia's web site and there is no ICA driver for the MP150. There is a scanner driver and MP Navigator for OS X 10.7. You may be able to install and use the driver and application on 10.9, although you will have to get past Gatekeeper to install both items as they are not digitally signed. To do this, you can hold down the Control key and click on the installer. A pop-up menu will appear and you can select Open. You will then be able to install the driver and then the application. If they do install then see if you can open MP Navigator and scan from the MP150.

I upgraded to mountain lion and now iMovie dose not see my Canon XHA1 . Can anyone help?

I upgraded from the app store. It is actually quite awhile ago so I do not remember how. I think I used a thumbdrive to create some type of file. No I do not have any backups. My iLife CD is nowhere to be found because this is a very old macbook pro that I've had for a couple years.
Thanks for taking the time to help

Sorry, I was not given the option of posting to a Maverics community. I have 4 accounts on my Mac Pro running Mavericks. From one account I can scan with my Epson NX420, but the other three accounts do not see the scanner. Can print from all accounts.

Hi there Ira Fletcher,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. Note: While the article was written for printer issues, many of the same troubleshooting steps apply to scanners as well.

I have just updated the i06 software for my iPad and it will not connect to my home wifi network - all my other devices are able to connect to my wifi network.
I have attempted all troubleshooting actions suggested and nothing has worked. I have restored my iPad network and factory settings - Please help - this is frustrating me

you have to set up your router to solve th problem. first find and write down the ipad mac address.
then log on to your router using your laptop or any device that can connect to router at 192.168.0.1 in your web browser. please check out my posting about how to resolve the wifi connection problem.
i think the ios6 update has reset the networking but if you set up the router then you should not have the same problem any more.

I did not use my computer yesterday, and now all of a sudden, Firework does not open at all after clicking on its icon or starting as a program. I did not download any upgrades or anything else, and I have Norton 360 version 3. I can open Internet Explorer, but that's not my default browser, so I have no problem with the Internet connection.
What could be the problem, how can I restore my browser without losing my bookmarks, settings, etc?

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem.

After using my MacBook Pro and pages for 2 years with the same printer, all of a sudden I can't print a pages doc even though the printer works and I can print from I/Mail, etc. Anyone have a possible answer?

Often printing problems are a sign of corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages.

Canon ip5200r wifi printing not working

I have an old ip5200r canon printer.
It's been a pain over the years - each time i update my operating system i have had to update the drivers and fiddle around to get it to connect to my mac via wifi. USB printing is fine and always works.
With 10.10 however I am totally stumped. I have managed to connect the printer to the network, and the printers and scanners system preferences can see the printer and it tells me it is installed, but I am unable to print.
My partner often uses the printer and constantly complains about walking around the house and plugging a USB cable in. It should be so easy, I am unsure why canon make it so hard.
I was wondering if anyone could offer any possible insight or recommendation?

If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

I just bought a Canon MG5422 It prints fine with the wire but wireless it stays offline.

I just bought a Canon MG5422. It works fine by wire but wireless it stays offline. It appears to find the access point. The printer screen shows me my router name and says it's active. Printer still says offline on the computer. When I try to detect the printer it never does. Where so I go from here? Thanks.

Hi CarlHuskey
As an additional step we can try, I recommend checking if the printer is set "Offline".
Click the start icon, then click Devices and Printers.
Right-Click the printer's icon and select See what's printing in the dropdown menu.
In the next screen click Printer in the menu bar. If Use Printer Offline has a check mark to the left of it, click Use Printer Offline to remove the check. The printer will now be used online.
If you are still unable to print, uninstall the printer completely and then reinstall. This will ensure that the drivers and port for your printer are properly configured on the system.
Please feel free to Contact Us for additional troubleshooting if these steps don't work.

The Mozilla WHITE start page is blocking the upper left Firefox to Print to Print Preview, so i can not see what is on the Printer Glass

The BIG WHITE MOSTLY BLANK , MOZILLA START PAGE was blocking my use of PRINT PREVIEW, from the orange "Firefox" in the upper left corner.
I was told i was using an out of date version of Firefox.
But no "click here to update".
So i downloaded the new edition of Firefox.
And still, i can not see PRINT PREVIEW, because the large white screen of the MOZILLA START PAGE is blocking it.
I have selected a background wallpaper, so would rather not see ANY of the BIG WHITE START PAGE, at all !!
HEEEELP,,,,,,

Hi,
Can you please post a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot] of the start page when it is blocking the print preview. Please note that you may have to change to the tab of the site to be printed to see the print preview of the page.

PS CS5.1 [was: 5.5] will not see my Canon 550d cr 2 files

I am running a mac on os x and Photoshop 5.1 . I just purchased a canon rebel 550d (T5i I think) It will not see any of the images. This must be an Adobe issue as the MAc finder and preview sees the images.
SO I have downloaded and tried to install various camera raw updates. 5.1 5.7 6.1 6.4 7.1 7,3 nothing seems to work indeed one of them failed to open. ver 6.1 will not open as an error code comes up. this error code relates to not being elligable for the version, yet it says cs 5. cs 5.5 and 6 are worthy.
CAn someone help please.
regards Paul

Do you mean Photoshop 5.5 (shipped in 1999) or Photoshop CS5 (shipped in 2010)?
If 5.5 (1999), then it's unlikely to ever read Raw files.
If you mean CS5 then try Help > Updates to update your Camera Raw to version 6.7.

Why does not MBP find Canon's lousiest printer

Hi,
After changing hard drive my MBP does not find my canon LBP5050n printer any more. I have downloaded and installed the CAPTV320_MacOSX_ukEN.dmg driver but cannot find it in sys.prefs, print&fax, options&supplies when looking for the driver in the "select printer software" list.
Where does it go? This regardless of if I am using the netSpot_Device _Installer or not.
The IP adress is ok. MBP tries to communicate via an Airport (Time Capsule) attached to a TeleWell TW-EA501 modem. The TimeCapsule is connected to a Zyxel Ethernet Switch to which the printer is attached. All other attached printers work perfectly and the whole setup as well. The problem is this "slowest printer in the world".
please advice,
regards,
pyry

Is there something I have forgotten??
I would say the answer is yes. You have forgotten how to add this printer. If you refer to Chapter 2 of the CAPT guide which is included with the download, it shows that to add your printer using the CAPT driver you need to select More Printers and then select "Canon USB (CUPS CAPT)" for a USB connected printer or "Canon IP (CUPS CAPT)" for a printer connected via Ethernet.
And this has nothing to do with Bonjour as Ham incorrectly suggested.

System not seeing new 36 drives - on Ultra 2

Anyone,
I have a Sun Ultra 2 that was upgraded to dual 400MHZ CPU and 2 GB of memory. I also purchased two new SCSI drives that are 36 GB in size. I have installed one of the drives in target 0. When I start Solaris 9 install I can go into format and it sees the drive. I have formated one of them and install the Solaris 9. When I put in the other drive I can run the install program and format the second drive, and I can partition it, save it, etc. after a reboot, I go into Sun Management Console and try to mount the drive SMC does see the second drive. After I shut down, I do a probe-scsi-all and it does not see the second drive and the screen lists the first drive and then flashes to the CDROM listing. I think this is because of an control character on the disk description. Why would probe-scsi-all not see the second drive and format will see the second drive. Also I have a HP 18GB drive that I have formated and the system can not see it either. Do you know of a jumper that needs to be set. I can see not jumper on the hard drives. Format can see the drives so it must be something with the OS. One more thing, I did not let the validation run to the end when I was formating the second 36GB drive, but I have cntl-c out of it after the first pass but I have done that before on other drives without any problems. Any ideas why the OS sees only one drive and not the second disk.
Thanks for any help. Richard
Richard

From the sun hand book it looks like the Ultra 2 doesn't support 36GB drives
Up to two 3.5- x 1-in., 2.1-GB, 4.2-GB, or 9.1-GB
18.2 GB maximum internal (two 9.1-GB disks)
That's not to say they won't work - but you may find that the reason you're getting odd responses is that while they will work they're not fully recognised by all the utilities...
