Unable to load Canon MP160 printer driver

I've had the hardest time using my Canon MP160 printer on my iMac (Mac OS 10.5). In fact, I'm not able to print at all.
I have the printer connected via USB. It always has been. However, it only stopped working recently.
I downloaded the drivers for the printer and scanner from Canon's web site. However, when I attempt to load the printer driver, the "Installing Canon IJ Printer Driver" window appears. It gets to the "Finishing Installation" part in the process. But it "hangs" at some point and does not complete. I've tried it twice. It hung at two different points in the process. I tried letting it run overnight. That was no good.
I've also looked for the "Printer Setup Utility" and can't seem to find that anyplace. I'm wondering why I can't find that.
If anybody could help me solve this, I'd be so thankful.

Hello marconi10. Welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are unable to install your printer on one computer, over a wireless connection. I'm going to suggest a very simple workaround, which if it works, will remove any complicated troubleshooting that would be necessary:
Please try installing the printer with a USB connection. If this does not work, you know that there is an issue occurring with the computer.
If this does work, the printer will be successfully installed. At that point, you can change the connection type from USB to wireless. For more information on how to do this, please reference this HP document: Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless
If the printer will still not connect wireless, this will point out a computer issue. For additional information and troubleshooting, relating to the inability of installing the printer over a wireless network, please reference this HP document: 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During Wireless Network Installation
Please respond with the results of your troubleshooting. I'm only here to help!

  • Unable to load HP 8600 printer driver on laptop

    Hi Folks,
    Just installed a new HP Officejet 8600 printer into my home network.  The network consists of 4 PC’s, two desktops and two laptops…all are running XP SP3 with the latest updates.  The HP printer and one of the desktops are connected by Ethernet to a wireless router.  The other desktop and both laptops are connected wirelessly via 802.11.  Installation of the printer driver was successful with both desktops and one of the laptops.  The other laptop, a Dell Latitude D520, fails on the final step of the installation process, after selecting the printer name following its detection on the network.  Avast! Internet Security and Malwarebytes run on all the machines and are disabled, along with Windows firewall, during the install process.  The following dialog is displayed:
    “Unsuccessful Network Installation – The printer was unable to be installed over the network.”
    No other error information is provided.  I’ve tried installing from the product CD (which is up to date) as well as the driver software downloaded from the HP support site, rebooting multiple times.  I also downloaded the recommended HP troubleshooting tool (HP Installation Failure – Unknown Device) and ran through the process a couple of times without success.  All of the machines, including the D520 laptop, can see each other as well as the HP printer.  There are no network issues I’m aware of.
    I’ve exhausted what little expertise I have in this area.  If anyone out there can think of a possible solution or provide some suggestions, I’d sure appreciate it.  Thanks much.

  • Unable to load LabVIEW RT from drive

    Trying to boot RT on PXI-8187 controller with original setup, what ever RT boot selection is used either hardware switch or BIOS RT boot option, the terminal will show the following:
    Unable to load LabVIEW RT from drive!
    Booting safe mode from ROM...
    mount: Mounting /dev/Ma1 on /home/ftp/c failed: Invalid argument
    Entering safe mode.
    IP address is: 0.0.0.0
    Of course after that you can't do any thing to configure the RT target from the MAX on the host computer.
    Please Help.

    Hi,
    I used the recovery CD to change the file system to NTFS, it took a while and it installed windows XP from scratch differently from FirstWare that ghosts it (I think). And it didn't install any NI stuff what so ever.
    At the end I got the same result as with using the remote system format disk option.
    i.e. The RT controller boots in safe mode displaying the previous message without the mount error but this time I can configure the IP address.
    Still I can't install software to it, I get the list of features to install, I select them and press next, then I get a dialog saying:
    Cannot process install because other dependencies are required:
    LabVIEW RT 1.0.1
    LabVIEW RT 6.0.1
    LabVIEW RT 6.1.0
    LabVIEW RT 7.0.0
    LabVIEW RT 7.1
    Is this a host or RT Controller issue now?
    What's next? Thanks for the help

  • Sudden Canon CMFP Printer Driver Error?

    My Canon MF8380 had been working fine with my macbook pro (printing wirelessly), and all of a sudden today I am getting an error that says:
    "Canon CMFP Printer Driver: Printer is not responding. Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again."
    I have tried the basics - turning off and on the printer, rebooting the macbook pro, printing from different applications, making sure Job Accounting is not checked in setup, seeing that the driver seems like it's acknowledged, checking and unchecking sharing prefs... Not versed enough to do much beond that.
    Any advice?
    Thanks in advance!

    Canon just released a new print driver that fixed my exact same error.

  • Canon LBP6000 print driver - no printer appears in the 'add printer' section'  I have installed Mac CAPT Ve r340 and nothing shows.r

    I was having problems printing from my Canon LBP6000.  Print jobs remained held in the queue.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the Mac CAPT Ve r340 driver from Canon's website, no improvement.  The printer works fine with my Windows laptop.
    I found an option to remove all printers from the Print preferences section. I can't remember how I did this, but all printers were removed.  I reinstalled the above driver, but now in the 'print & scan' - 'add printer' section, I have no printer options.  And no idea how to get printer options.  So very open to advice.
    Thanks
    T.

    The ability to see the LBP6000 in the Add Printer view is not reliant on the printer driver but the USB cable. If you have the printers USB cable connected directly to the Mac, as opposed to having it connected to the Windows computer you mention or to some sort of USB hub, then it should appear in the Add Printer > Default view. If it does not show, then try another USB cable. You can also open System Information on the Mac and select the USB section in the left column. Then in the top right pane you will see all the USB busses on the Mac and the LBP should be seen under one of the busses if the USB cable is okay.
    With regards to the action to remove all printers, I would bet that you performed a reset of the printing system.

  • Canon MP620 print driver does not work with Snow Leopard

    Bought a Macbook & bundled Canon MP620 printer in Dec 08. Two days ago upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I can no longer print (the printer is not recognized), it only sees "Bonjour scanner" (the printer is a multi-function printer, copier, fax, scanner). Spent more than two hours with two different Apple tech support people over the phone; talked to Apple personnel in store. My printer is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless modem, and I connect to the wireless modem via Airport. The phone tech person insisted that this printer is supported by Snow Leopard, but we reloaded the print driver from the Snow Leopard installation disk with no results. Finally my last resort, which worked, is to go to Radio Shack and get a cable that has a USB-A (printer) to USB-B (Mac) attachment. I was able to print. It is unacceptable for Apple to have this problem, as I went into the store four different times to discuss whether I should upgrade to Snow Leopard, and was told on every occasion that Snow Leopard will make everything run faster, more smoothy, etc. NOT! I want Apple to post a notice on their web site to a) confirm their print driver problems with Snow Leopard and b) to confirm WHEN new print drivers will be released.

    Have a look at my last posting re Canon network printing.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2128186&tstart=0&messageID=100 97438#10097438
    i got my MP980 working via Ethernet and wireless. The same procedure should work for your MP620.

  • Looking for Canon i9900 print driver

    I am looking for a print driver for my Canon i9900 large format printer
    Canon support indicates no driver is available

    You will have to use the Gutenprint v5.2.10 driver package. That model is too old for Canon to provide a supporting driver.

  • No Canon MF3110 printer driver...

    I just bought a macbook pro and I used a Canon MF3110 printer with my XP box and it had drivers. But it doesn't have drivers for OS X...are there any other options ie open drivers? I tried one called gutenprint but it wasn't compatible. The print is a multifunction and its called Canon imageclass MF3110. Thanks

    Had the same problem with other printers (HP Laserjet 1022), the solution was the Gutenprint CUPS (which loads unsupported printer drivers from Apple) from this page:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    I did a quick search through the supported printers and didn't find yours. Perhaps in a newer beta release or something you could find the drivers, hope this helps.

  • Canon ip6000d printer driver not in driver list

    Just bought a Macbook Pro with 2.5 GHz and it's working great. so far only one problem I haven't been able to fix. I have a Canon ip6000d connected to a Windows desktop which is always on. This desktop is hardwired to a Linksys router, and the Macbook connects to the router without any issue. When I go to system preferences and try to add the network printer, it shows up in the list of printers connected to the desktop as CANON PIX. I select the printer, and no driver is available. I try and "Select a driver to use...", the Canon ip drivers skip straight from 5200 to 6700.
    Not only did I go to Canon's US website and download the latest driver, it's also supposed to be included with Mac OS 10.5. I tried connecting the computer to the Macbook by USB, and it worked without any issue at all, showing the correct (Canon ip6000d) driver. To me, this means that I have the driver installed on the computer.
    In any case, I am still unable to print over the network. Any ideas?
    a.s

    As you have found, the Canon v4.8.3 driver for the iP6000D that is included with Leopard cannot be used when you are trying to connect to the printer when it is shared by Windows. For this type of connection, you need to use the Gutenprint drivers. However, the version 5.1.3 included with Leopard does not include the iP6000D. So you need to get v5.1.7 from Sourceforge (http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/index.php3) which does include the iP6000D as a supported printer. Run this installer, it will remove the current v5.1.3 and install the v5.1.7 files. Then when you look through the list you will see the "Canon PIXMA iP6000D - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.1.7".

  • Canon MP610 printer driver

    After updating to OS 10.8.3 on my iMac 27 I can no longer use my Canon MP610. This printer has ALWAYS worked with Lion and Mt. Lion all versions. When I go to print a document there is no printer available. When I try to add my MP610 there is a message that says
    "The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer."
    Upon clicking add another windown says
    "Setting up Canon MP610 series"
    then goes into finding software mode and the progress bar gets about half way and this error message appears:
    "Can't install the software for the Canon MP610 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    I have downloaded the Mt. Lion driver from Canon, installed the package successfully and it still wants to go looking for the driver on the Software Updarte server; unsuccessfully. After an hour on the phone with both Apple and Canon, no one has a solution.
    Why cant the OS recognize the manually downloaded and installed driver that already exists on the hard drive as it has always done? It's as if it is now programmed to only go the the Update server to look for the software and it's not there. Perplexing. USB printers are supposed to be plug and play. 
    I have noticed that Apple has removed all Canon printers from the Apple Store. What happened? Has Apple abandoned Canon or is it the reverse.
    Thanks in advance.

    This issue, which can happen to any brand of printer, can often be resolved by resetting the printing system.
    As for Canon and Apple, the Australian store is still selling Canon AirPrint printers.

  • Unable to load HP LaserJet p1606DN driver in Broker

    I am trying to load up a HP p1606DN driver into my broker. The load process fails.
    Other drivers load fine. The load fails if I try to load the driver from disk, or if I try to pull it from my PC.
    The error message happens so fast I can not read it. It happens right away, right after I select the printer.
    The driver is for Windows 7 X64. The broker is on Netware.
    Any ideas?

  • Unable to add canon irc printer

    Hi There,
    I am looking for some advice. I have a client who has recently purchased an imac running Leopard v10.6. I have added this machine to their domain and set everything up. No problems - considering it is in Malta and I am in Scotland. They have one printer, a canon irc 2380 which they require to be able to print from. I have added this printer using both lpd and ipp, both times the printer is added successfully. When I try to print something using ipp method, the print appears to go but nothing actually comes out the printer. When I try using the lpd method, it asks for authentication? I am currently working on trying to get to its config page to try and enable bonjour but would like some assistance as to why these other methods haven't worked. What am I doing wrong? I doubt that the wrong driver has been installed as I got it from canon directly.
    Thanks in advance - Kirsty

    Hello Kirsty. If it is the UFR2 driver you have installed, then first of all you do need to use LPD for the protocol. IPP is not supported with this driver.
    So with the LPD connection and the authentication, this could be two things.
    If you are printing via a Windows shared queue then it can be a Windows authentication pop-up. Entering this users domain account and password is usually enough to allow printing, however if it is the UFR2 driver being used it does not play well with this type of connection. You would be best to configure the Mac to print directly to the iR C2380.
    If you do have the Mac configured to print directly to the copier then the other authentication you can get is the built-in Department ID function, where an ID and password needs to be entered to permit printing. Many owners of the colour iR use this system to control colour usage. You can check if the copier has this enabled by entering its IP address into a browser. This will open the internal web page called Remote UI (RUI). If Dept ID management is enabled then you often need to enter an ID and password to get past the login window that you would be presented with. If entering the IP into the browser opens the RUI without entering a password then Dept ID is not enabled, but you can check by selecting the Add Functions button on the left sidebar of the RUI and then opening System Preferences.
    If Dept ID is enabled then the ID and password can be entered via the Special Features menu of the driver. This also provides the function to check that the ID/pwd to be used is set in the copier.
    Re Bonjour, the Canon imageRUNNER series do not support Bonjour. They do if they have the optional Fiery print controller attached, rather than using the internal Canon board. I think this model would use the imagePASS-J1 so the connection to the internal web page of the copier would show if this is fitted.
    Hope this helps for starters...

  • IMac G4, OSX 10.4, Canon Mp160 - drivers refuse to load!

    I have bought a Canon MP160 printer for my daughter's G4 iMac running OSX 10.4. The software - actually the drivers in particular - refuse to install, either from the supplied CD or from the latest driver download from the Canon site.
    The printer works fine on my Intel iMac, but as soon as I move it to the G4 - even using the same USB cable - it wont work. Within the System Profiler, the printer is visible on the G4's USB Device Tree as MP160, but when selecting the 'Printers' option, it basically says 'no printer'. I don't get it! BTW: I think I have done every permutation of cables in, cables out, delete, reinstall etc etc etc to no avail so far! I think the USB cable I used is USB2, (I have actually tried 3 different USB cables) but I'm not sure as there is no obvious marking on it(them) - but I believe one of them is the cable that came with my Canon Pixma ip4200 printer that I run in the Intel Imac
    The G4 is USB1.1 while the printer is USB2 capable. Is there something I'm missing here? Is the cable the controlling factor here? BTW2: the drivers did instal and work twice after OS system re-installs; but I shut the iMac down, restart next morning - and its no-go again!!!
    Any ideas please?

    Malcolm
    Thanks for the tip about the Printing & Faxing forum - I think I stumbled on to the answer there! I bought a brand new USB2 cable anyway, did the 'repair permissions' thing and reinstalled the Canon driver software - the printer now appears in the 'System Profiler' and works!
    I can't believe this relatively small matter has caused me so much grief and time!
    Cheers

  • Cannot print to canon MP160, dialog box says printer off line, but it is on line, OK printing with IE

    I just installed the Canon MP160 printer. I downloaded the driver software from Canon version 12.1.4.0.(2/8/2008). I can print documents fine from Internet Explorer. When I go to print from Firefox the printer dialog box says the printer is "off line" and I get printer queue error messages. I can also print OK from windows. I have a PC 32 bit with Windows Vista.

    I think your issue is that even though you have the latest 10.2.0 driver for 10.9, you added the printer using the previous v2.43 PPD. So open Print & Scan, remove the current printer for the iRC3380 and click the plus button to add again. After selecting IP > LPD and entering the IP address, ensure you select "Canon iR C2880/C3380" in the Use menu. Note that there is no mention of UFRII in the model name, as is the case with the previous UFR2 v2.43 driver.
    Thanks for the suggestion.  I did that this morning (see Step 1) and deleted the existing printer before re-adding a new printer and using the newly updated driver and printer description.  Here's what I get:
    You can see my model number is listed in there as is the the proprietary Canon UFRII language.
    Once added, here's what happens next:
    So it would appear, at this point, that the printer is installed and communicating and that I should be good to print.
    Alas, I get the same error message I've been getting.  back to square one.
