Tecra M4 - Doesn't recognize my printer anymore

I recently started to experience problems recognizing my Canon IP4500 printer.
Reinstalling printer driver worked once, not anymore. When I checked Device Manger I could not see any lpt ports, only a number of "Toshiba BT Ports".
Could this maybe indicate a hardware problem?
Chris

Hi!
I have checked the specifications of the Canon Pixma IP4500 and it does only have an USB port so I think you dont need any LPT ports in device manager. I think you can forget this.
In your case I would try to reinstall the printer again. Remove the old printer software/driver, restart the notebook. Then use CCleaner to clean the system and restart again. Now download the newest drivers on the Canon website. Follow the screen instructions!! Few days ago I installed a Canon printer too and you should only connect the printer if the drivers are installed. So connect the printer if the installation says you should connect it to the computer!
Good luck!
Bye

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

Computer doesn't recognize my printer since upgrade

my computer doesn't recognize my printer since upgrade to yosemite

Hi ..
Try a reset > Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
If a reset doesn't help, visit the website for your printer manufacture then search for v10.10 Yosemite drivers to download and install.

HT1238 my computer doesn't recognize my shuffle anymore.

My Mac doesn't recognize my shuffle anymore. when I insert it to be recharge the battery, it does not show up in the devices menu.

What generation iPod Shuffle do you have? Are you sure the connections are secured on each end? See here for more information.
iPod shuffle (4th generation): Not seen in iTunes
So if I understand you correctly, the Shuffle used to work with this particular Mac. Do you know what could have or did change since the last time it was able to successfully connect?

Trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable

I am trying to update firmware on my canon printer MG5320 to be able to use the airprint feature but in doesn't recognize the printer being plugged in via USB cable. I have tried restarting the macbook, turning on and off the printer, repairing permissions, deleting and redownloading the update what else can I do? The prinyrt works fine otherwise...

If there are no drivers for Yosemite you might be in trouble.. HP will tend not to support printers once they are EOL.
Getting it running over wireless rather than USB might be worthwhile.
Can’t connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Has the printer been working and now failed after update.. what update caused the failure if that is the problem??

Satellite A505 Doesn't Recognize HP Printer

My Satellite A505 laptop doesn't recognize my HP Color LaserJet 2550L printer, when I connect them with a USB line. I tried going to the HP site to download the drive for the 2550L, but that site said Windows 7 already had it! Suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Did not work. I tried installing the printer and driver using the add printer function (per the video), and, while I got a message that said the printer had successfully installed, neither the test page, nor a second, 1-page Word document, would print -- even though the printer is on, with paper loaded, no jams, and a green light, the USB cable is in tight (printer and laptop), but I get a printer job status of "Error" whenever a job enters the print queue.
Same thing happened when I tried to load the driver from the original disk that came with the printer (I suspect the original driver isn't ready for Windows 7, but I have Windows 7 set to "automatic update", so I'm expecting it to go onto the internet and find the newest version of my driver, one that IS compatible -- that's the whole point of the auto update function). Another issue I encountered, when I tried to load the driver manually, from the original disk, was it came back with a pop-up window that advised loading the driver with the "Printer Wizard", so I know that had to be a pre-Windows 7 disk.
FYI -- I had this same problem trying to use an old Brother Laserprinter at home -- the USB wouldn't recognize the printer. Loaded it via Windows, but got printer error message on any document I tried to print.
This should be so simple! Plug 'n Play, via USB. Maddening!

Tecra 8200 doesn't recognize RAM in Slot B

Since a few days my Tecra doesn't recognize the RAM Module in Slot B. Before all was fine. I have 2x256MB Modules. I was wondering why my Tecra becomes more slow the last days and then i saw that i have now just 256MB RAM. I change the Modules from Slot A to B. I checked also both RAM moduls with MEMCheck. Both are ok! Just when i put one RAM to Slot B and none to Slot A my Tecra doesn't boot up! If i insert both moduls my Tecra boots up but just with 256MB RAM.
Is there an other solution then to buy a new Notebook? Is my Mainbord demaged?
I was so contently with my Tecra until now ;-)

Hi
Like Joao said, probably the memory slot B is defective and therefore the memory module cannot be recognized.
The notebook supports max 512MB (2x256MB) but I dont know if the single 512MB module can be used in one slot.
I presume its not possible.

Server App doesn´t recognizes Admin PW anymore

Hi everybody
I recently bought a Mini Server with OSX Lion- and migrated my old Snowleopard Server to it.
After 3 tries and upgrading the old server to Lion as well it kind of "worked"
Last week after a restart the ServerApp doesn´t recognize any admins passwords anymore and therefore leaves me a bit distressed...
Any ideas to where I could find the solution (or what the problem really is)??
Thanks
CF

Have a look at the following:

PSE 9 doesn't recognize my printer

I have PSE 9 and Windows 7. I printed several photos today and all of a sudden the program tells me I have to install the printer. When I look at devices and printers, they are all showing up. I printed a test page, and the test page works. It's only one printer that it doesn't recognize this time, although it did earlier in the day.
I read an earlier question with this problem, but I didn't see any solution. I tried the Ctrl/Alt/Shift idea to get rid of the preference settings, but that didn't help and I tried rebooting the computer. I tried changing different settings and then changing them back like one person suggested. Nothing has worked.
This happened to me one day about a year ago and I found a way to fix it either here or somewhere on the internet, but now that it's happened again, I can't find an answer. I've been using PSE for many years and never had a problem with the printer until I got PSE 9. Surely, someone has come up with a fix for this problem.
Thanks.
Anna

I decided to delete my printer from the computer and just added it again. That seemed to do the trick.

IPod Updater doesn't recognize my iPod anymore

Aperture doesn't recognize my lens anymore

A couple of weeks ago Aperture suddenly didn't recognize my lens anymore. It has always did before. I use Aperture version 3.2. The lens is Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM, but now it only shows up as "Unknown (174) 135mm". My camera is 5D Mark II. When the lens is mounted, I can go into the camera's menu and read that the camera recognize my lens correctly. So why doesn't Aperture? Is the problem my lens, or is it Aperture?

Thank you! It was good to hear that it was just a software problem and not my lens. I assume that you have already reported to Apple, but I did it too, so I hope it gets corrected soon.

Mini Doesn't Recognize Epson Printer via Firewire

this is an odd one...
spent quite some time on tech support with Apple today.
a brand new Mac Mini will not print with an Epson photo stylus via firewire.
it recognizes the firewire connection, actually prints via usb, but will not print with the firewire.
what is even stranger, the epson printer utility will allow for printing test pages via firewire.
no matter how often the new Epson drivers (via website) are removed, reinstalled correctly, reset print system in printer set up utility, with permissions repaired, restarting, etc., it will not recognize the printer.
tried this with two working Epsons, which both work on an older iMAC, and a new G5.
firewire works with other items, like storage drives etc., and tried different cords.
i am stumped.
any clues?
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.10)

When you add the printer, are you highlighting the printer in Printer Setup Utility, clicking *More Printers* and selecting *EPSON Firewire* in the Print Browser?

My photoshop CS3 doesn't recognize raw files anymore.

I have an iMac G5 with Photoshop CS3 installed on it. I decided to install on this iMac my husband's French version of Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS3. It turned my Photoshop CS3 (English) to Photoshop Extended CS3 in French.
I tried reinstalling my Photoshop CS3 in English but to no avail. This brought no change. Photoshop is still in French.
Then I realized, when I use this Photoshop CS3 Extended version in French, that I cannot open raw files on it. It either tells me it doesn't recognize this type of files or it does open it and it looks all grey.
Please, I need help. Any suggestions?
Thank you so much to whomever will rescue me!!

How would I update the camera raw pluggin? Mine is 4.0.
Thanks!

Help! iPhoto doesn't recognize my camera anymore

My Pentax Optio S4 has worked great for the last couple of years - when I plugged in the USB cable, iPhoto opened and all went well. Now all of a sudden nothing happens, and iPhoto doesn't recognize the camera and neither does Image Capture. Did I inadvertantly DO something, or does anybody know what happened and how to get my seamless importing back?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Move the "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" and the "com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist" files from your user's "Library >Preferences" folder to the trash and reset the Image Capture preferences to recognize your camera.
