Unable to print with my Canon PIXMA IP 4700 and JetDirect network appliance

After many tries I decided to post my question.
I have a Canon PIXMA IP 4700 connected to the network with a Jetdirect 175X box. So I tried to add a new printer with a "HP Jetdirect Socket" port. I have previously installed the driver from the official website. The test page is staying on the spooler.
I also tried with LPD port (supported by the Jetdirect box) and IPP but nothing is working.
When the printer is directly connected with USB, it's working fine. Printing from my others Windows computers is working fine too since many months.
Thank your for your help.

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your problem is being caused by the Canon driver. It cannot be used when the printer is connected to the USB port of a 3rd party print server, or if shared by Windows.
The solution is to use a driver like Gutenprint or PrintFab. Gutenprint is preferred because it is free (it ships with OS X) however the iP4700 is not listed as a supported model. The iP4600 is listed so you could try selecting this model in the Print Using menu (shown as Canon PIXMA iP4600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3). If the iP4600 Gutenprint driver does not work that well then you could look at using [PrintFab|http://www.printfab.net] which does support the iP4700. It costs €49 but there is a 30 day trial so at least you can try it before committing to buying.
Another option would be to use a Airport device, like the Express, instead of the Jetdirect print server. With the printer connected to its USB port you can then use the Canon iP4700 driver on the Mac.

Cd printing with a canon pixma ip4200 + photoshop/illustrator

Sorry if im posting this in the wrong forum.
I just recently bought a canon pixma ip4200 printer mainly for its cd printing function.
the software that comes with it is very basic. I have photoshop and illustrator, but i cant get the print to allign properly through these 2 programs. i can only succesfully print with the canon software.
i was just wondering if anyone here uses the same printer with photoshop/illustrator and can get 100% allignment on the print.
Ive played with the settings within photoshop/illustrator, but i dont want to keep wasting cds trying to perfect it.
failing that, does anyone know of any other good software for cd printing.
i recently installed a demo of Disc Cover from MacWorld magazine, but wouldnt want to commit to buying it until i was certain it worked properly.
Cheers

You didn't mention any color calibration being done on your monitor. This is an essential part of any color-correct workflow. What are you using to calibrate your monitor (and your printer)?
Print profiles (for soft-proofing as well as printing) are for specific combinations of paper & printer. The nine you have are each, most likely, for a common paper (perhaps mfr'd by Canon) to be used with your printer.
I don't know what you mean when you say "I choose a high standard print option".
Have you read the User Manual chapter on printing?
Printing Your Images
There is also a good appendix on calibration:

I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to allow wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to enable wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

I’ve used several wireless printers with a 4510 and 5510 Jetpack and they all print just fine. The MHS890L does not support WPS. The WPS Wikipedia article briefly addresses the reason why you should not use WPS. If you’re having trouble setting up your printer the manufacturer has a toll free support line to help you. Your Jetpack has the Wi-Fi Password on the bottom, under the battery, and or in the LED display.

hi ehnco,
It sounds like the Read/Write attribute on the printer needs to be changed. Use the following steps to change the read/write attribute:
Make sure that the machine is turned on
Press the <Setup> button.
Use the   button to select  [ Device settings], then press the <OK> button.
The Device settings screen is displayed.
Use the  button to select [Device user settings], then press the <OK> button.
Use the  button to select [Read / write attribute], then press the <OK> button.
Use the  button to select [Writable from LAN PC], then press the <OK> button.

Hi ishmakov,
The PIXMA MP170 is not supported with Mac OSX v10.9, that is why you are experiencing this error.

Problem with my Canon PIXMA iP6600D printer

My Canon PIXMA iP6600D printer suddenly will not print black ink. At the time I thought it was just out of ink (that cartridge was low and I knew I needed a replacement) but I have since replaced it and the printer will not print the black (other colors appear just fine). I have cleaned the nozzle head at least a dozen times and deep-cleaned it at least 4, and it will still not print black (and this is with a new cartridge). I have tried to print the auto head align but I get this message after it tries to do it:
" Auto Head Align has failed. Press OK and repeat operation. (see manual)"
And I have looked in the manual but there's no information on this. The manual's advice (if there are 'white lines' or whatnot in whatever is being printed, which I figure is the closest to my problem) is to wait 24hrs and try cleaning the nozzle again.
I've scanned in the nozzle check print out I get and it looks like this: http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y54/horrormoviebufy/?action=view&current=Messedupheadalign.jpg
Can anyone help or suggest anything I haven't tried yet? Worst comes to worst, is this something I can bring in to Best Buy to have checked out and/or fixed? D: I'm at the end of my tether here frustrated to tears.

made the change, but doesn't fix my issue of not being able to re-add the printer... will play around with the printer to make sure it's on and actively connected, but at this point, that fix does nothing for me... thanks though... I'm sure it fixed the printing problem I was having before I removed the printer...

Problems With my Canon Pixma MG5350 Printer

Since installing OS X Mavericks my Canon Pixma MG5350 has stopped working properly. Whenever I want to print a document the paper goes through the printer and the heads are moving with intention to print but no ink is ejected. I don’t think the heads are blogged as it was a sudden change. I have tried installing the latest drivers from Canon but to no avail.

Try resetting the printing system http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14141
You'll have to reinstall your printer after the reset.

Unable to print with Canon iR2018 after updating OsX Mavericks

Hi,
there's anybody who can help me in finding canon ir2018 drivers for osX Mavericks?

Here is a link to the Canon UFR2 v10.2.0 driver that supports your iR2018 on OS X 10.9.
Please note that when adding the network printer you must use the LPD protocol and select the correct printer model, which will be listed as "Canon iR2018". Do not select the iR2018 that shows UFR II in the model name as this will be for the older v2.43 driver which is not compatible with OS X 10.9.

How do I set up my iPad to print using my canon pixma ip100 photo printer?

How do I get my canon pixma ip100 photo printer to print two pages from my iPad mini? Iam new with the computer terms & stuff, can any one please help me hook it up in easy terms...thankyou

You would have to either use an app from Canon if they have one or use a 3rd party program such as Printopia, Print Central, Fingerprint, etc. That printer is not Airprint compatible.

Print wirelessly on canon pixma MP780 from Macbook Pro

Hi
I have a Canon Pixma MP780 and want to know if I can set it up to print wirelessly from my Macbook Pro. I would appreciate any advice if you know how to do this. Thanks very much.

I believe you should be able to print wirelessly using your MBP and printer. However, you will want to visit the Canon home site and download the current drivers and firmware for your printer. Once you've done this, I hope you'll post back with your results.

You're going to need both drivers and firmware.

Printing with Epson & Canon printers

I’m new to a Mac having been a Windows PC user for years. I certainly like what I've seen so far. Reasonably competent with Photoshop CS3 and have loaded Mac version.
Main printer is Epson R2400 but also use Canon Pixma iP8500 and both worked fine with PC.
I had a number of files set up in a folder on my Windows PC which involve an image of 7.5" x 5.5" centred (on A4 canvas) and then framed by a thin 1px border of 10" x 8". These are for a particular task I perform and they need to be like that. Copied these on to Mac.
When I print out on A4 photo paper on either printer the whole image incl. the border shifts about 0.25" towards one end - i.e. in portrait mode it shifts up the page. Also, the long sides of the border don't appear, but the short sides do. I have reduced the size of the border slightly and all 4 sides then appear which indicates that the printers are not printing up to the edge of the paper which of course they are capable of doing. I sometimes need to print right up to the edges of paper.
Responses from suppliers as follows:
Apple helpline - they said contact to Canon and Epson who can send a download for Mac operation.
Spoke to Epson, they say maybe a download will work (they told me which one) but they say it's to do with the CS3 software. Download had no effect. Not spoken to Canon yet but suspect the same will happen.
Apple store - I go into local store for tuition and one of their people uses same gear as me and doesn't have this problem with it. Suggested uninstalling printers and reinstalling. Tried several times - no joy.
I'm going around in circles here. Solution maybe a blinding flash of the obvious - I hope so.
By the way, in the printer dialogue box that appears as part of the Photoshop printing process I have got "centred" checked.
I realise that Macs will have different screens to PCs but am I missing something here in the Mac print dialogue boxes? My first impression is that there are not as many options there as with PCs but I may be wrong.
Am I right in assuming that this problem is something to do with the way my Mac is working - especially as someone else in the Apple store says there's no problem with his printing on the Epson?
Help please!!
Bob

One simple thing to look for is that sometimes the printer drivers include a "borderless" paper size. Try looking at the paper size settings in the print dialog to see if you're printing on A4 regular, or A4 borderless. Also, I recall with one epson printer, I had to actually add the printer in again as another printer with its "borderless" driver. So if the paper settings don't help, try going into SystemPrefs>Printing&Fax, hitting the + sign to add a printer, find your printer, and see if there's another driver offered that's called something like "borderless".
This assumes of course that you've checked with epson and canon for the most up to date drivers. Check their sites for any updates.

AirPrint lost after update to 10.8.2 with my Canon PIXMA MG5300

Hi! I've just updated to 10.8.2 and printing to my PIXMA MG5300 via Airprint is no longer working.
Here's what's happening:
When I tried to print, the print queue would time out, stating a communication error.
Here's what I've tried:
I removed the printer from Print & Scan settings and tried to re-add using 'Nearby Printers' but I get an error message "Cannot communicate with the printer at this time".
I get the same error message if I try to add it by selecting the printer from 'Add Printer or Scanner', selecting the printer and selecting 'Use: Airprint'.
I was recommended to remove the drivers from Library->Printers->Canon into the Trash. So I did.
I then downloaded and installed the latest package of Canon drivers from Apple Support at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899
After a restart I tried adding the printer again with the same results.
And just to be clear:
The printer is on.
The printer is connected to the same WiFi access point as the Mac.
I can print fine when I cable connect to the printer.
I tried switching everything off and on again
Any ideas? Similar Problems??
Thanks Everyone.

Thanks for all your help PAHU, it's working. The trouble is I don't know exactly what did it, but with enough tinkering around, we have printing joy.
I wish I could be more helpful to others having the same problem.
My most recent changes were to reset the server on the printer and do a fresh install of the 3rd party driver (which I've always been warned against doing when it comes to Mac's & printers...)
Anyway, after this and doing the same add's and remove's of the printer over and over, I suddenly saw
the CanonIJNetwork version of the printer appear!
I haven't tinkered around this much with printers and drivers since ye olde days of the PC
I'm sure glad it's over, thanks for all your help, again.

Has anyone else had problems with the Canon Pixma MG3250 on their air?

I bought a Canon Pixma yesterday, and I have had problems setting the printer up as one I don't have a cd drive- so I had to download the software- and two my laptop does't seem to recognise the printer wirelessly. It is fine when I stick the USB cable in. I contacted apple to see if it was a software issue, they helped by getting a couple of things up- then I followed the guide from canon on how to install the printer and and connect to WPS but it just doesn't seem to like my mac. Help I'm at my wits end!

I had a similar problem. After i extracted the audio track from a clip (so i can edit it down for a drop zone in iDVD) iMovie aborted and i couldn't get it to run correctly with that video again. Each time i tried to open it, iMovie would hang with the startup dialog saying there was less than a minute left to load the video.
I trashed the video and pulled up my backup from my outboard drive (tedious; >.5hr over USB 2), i'm going to try again.
I have QT Pro also (i upgraded for the file conversion features, mostly).
