The alerts are caused by the built-in firewall. If you're on a private network behind a router, the firewall serves no purpose and you should disable it. Otherwise, see below.
Please open the Security & Privacy preference pane and select the Firewall tab. Click the lock icon to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the button marked
          Firewall Options...
In the sheet that opens, the box marked
          Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections
should be checked.
If the applications that you're having trouble with is on the list above that checkbox and is blocked, change the setting to
          Allow incoming connections
If the application is not on the list, add it with the same setting.
If it's already on the list and already allowed, delete the entry, then add it back.

HT1338 unable to connect Canon Printer imageCLASS MF5950dw to my Mac

unable to connect Canon Printer imageCLASS MF5950dw to my Mac

Instead of using Bonjour to connect to the network printer I suggest you use the LPD protocol. To do so, open Print & Scan and click the plus button to add. With the Default Add printer view showing, click the IP icon in the toolbar. You can then enter the IP address of the MF5980dw, ensure LPD is selected for the protocol and leave the queue name blank. You can also change the name from the IP address to something more meaningful, like Canon Printer, leave the Location blank and in the Use menu, change to "Select printer software" and then browse for the MF5900 Series. When found and selected, click OK and then Add to complete the printer queue creation. Now see if this will print to the Canon.

How can I uninstall Xerox print drivers and then reinstall them again

Somehow I installed the wrong print drivers for our xerox printers running on the latest version of leopard and installing the correct driver doesn't seem to solve the problem. I want to remove all xerox driver files and reinstall the correct version of the driver.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

How many time do I need to update to Canon printer drivers 2.6?

I keep hoping the next update will fix it, but no... Canon Printer Software Update 2.6 keeps showing up and no matter how many times I install it, it doesn't go away. I've tried deleting the drivers and the receipts, etc. to no avail. Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem on Lion 10.7.1 and 10.7.2

Cannot install Canon printer drivers after upgrade to Mountain Lion

Have got a MG3150 printer from Canon. which is in the supported list. I tried to add the new printer and get the message "can't install the software for the Canon MG3100 series becuase it is not currently available from the Software Update Server.
It says this, in spite of giving me a message that they are available when I attach the printer via USB. This does kick off an attempt to to seek printer updates.
So both methods of updating the printer drivers fails.
I tried trashing the Cannon software and the PPD file for the MG3150 followed by a downloaded reinstall, but no luck.
Any ideas, please?

I have a Toshiba; running Windows 8:
My laptop wasn't recognizing my HP Photosmart C309g Scanner for some reason. Although I could print, I need the scanner, so I decided to uninstall/reinstall everything.
Perhaps I uninstalled the wrong feature first, but whatever happened, my laptop had a hiccup & windows wouldn't load. I used the onboard problem solving feature and windows did reload.
I returned to my efforts to reinstall the printer drivers (using the CD), but when the Setup window appears, the Install option doesn't appear. I only have the option to Exit the software setup window.
Does this mean there are still remnants of the previous installation? In the Programs and Features list, there are remants (HP Cust Part Program; HP Imaging Device Functions; and HP Solution Ctr, all of which were installed at the same time as the printer driver. Nothing happens when I right click to uninstall or double click on it to uninstall.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

Canon Printer Drivers

I've noticed for some time now, that Canon offer a choice of 2 drivers for my IP4500 printer.
One is a CUPS driver, the other is non-CUPS.
I currently use the non-CUPS driver, but my question is: is one driver better than the other, which one should I be using?
From my brief play around with Snow Leopard, I think it supplies the CUPS driver.
Answers anyone...

The two drivers are based around two different programming techniques, the so called CUPS driver being written using Cocoa, which is the preferred method for future proofing the driver, and the non-CUPS driver based on Carbon. And yes, the drivers included with 10.6 are the CUPS versions.
From a user perspective, there is minimal difference between the two. They both offer the same features for the printer and have similar colour output.
Prior to the CUPS driver being updated so that 10.6 was supported, I would not have recommended using the CUPS driver on 10.5, based on my own testing with the previous incarnations of the driver and from assisting Canon owners with issues on this forum.
However, having used the latest versions of the CUPS driver with 10.6 and 10.5, I believe you could look at using this new version, purely from a familiarity perspective. But, if the version you have installed now is working fine, then leave it alone. No point fixing something that is not broken....

HT1341 How do I uninstall old print drivers on Mac OS 10.6.8?

After installing the latest driver, the old one is still there.

In Library/Printers/Lexmark/Drivers there is a file called Lexmark Printer Utility which apparently is the print driver. I'm wondering if I should delete a folder entitled '2007' which is located at Library/Printers/Lexmark/2007. The 2007 folder also contains a Lexmark Printer Utility and also contains a file called 'LexmarkCUPSDriver'. Lately my printing problem has been this: I try to print and the printer does not respond even though the print job shows up in the print queue as printing. For a short time in the print queue window an error message appears which says: "LexmarkCUPSDriver failed to read raster data", after which both the error message the print job disappear from the queue.

Snow Leopard and Canon Printer Drivers - significant unhelpful change

Is there any work around for the following? I have a new mac book pro
with snow leopard. Which means I downloaded the new Canon driver for
Pixma 9500. And am now using Lightroom 3 rather than 2.
An option that used to exist no longer exists. It used to be when I
chose a paper profile (say Canon Premium Paper Pro) I could still
manage color options in the driver. I could adjust slightly the reds
or if it were black and white I could change the tone (warm tone/cool
tone). Now, which I chose a paper profile, those options are "blanked out." I
can't use them. Is this because of Snow Leopards CUPS functionality rather than the IJ.
Given how many variables there are with printing and getting the right
image, I really wish I had the option of adjusting my printer output even when I'm using a paper profile.
The options exist if I let the printer manage the colors (as opposed to
using the profiles) but the image is much farther off to begin with and
requires much more experimenting. I have not reloaded Elements 6 and Canon Easy Print Pro. I wonder if it will let me fiddle with color options? Or Elements 9 with an updated Canon Easy Print Pro.
I'm disappointed that I've lost this option by upgrading my hardware and software. I'd be grateful for any advice or feedback.

I don't have Lightroom to confirm this but maybe the application is contributing to your issue.
Looking at the menus of the v10.36.2.0 driver, which is the latest version of the Canon driver you would be using with the Pro 9500, there is the Quality & Media menu and the Color Options menu. Through the Q&M menu you can select the Canon paper types and then via the Color Options menu you can adjust the colors.
But if you open the Color Matching menu and change the setting from Canon Color Matching to ColorSync and then select a paper type you then find that the sliders in Color Options are not available. Maybe Lightroom is set to use ColorSync and thus the adjustment in the Color Options menu is not available for you.

TS3938 Can no longer scan with my MP800 Canon printer

I've seen lots of posts on this, and it is extremely frustrating that I'm starting to think it's just assumed that the owners of MP800 Canon printer/scanners will just toss out a perfectly good, little-used piece of hardware and buy something new. I've tried going to the HP site, loading the new drivers, etc. I've also tried changing from MP Navigator to Image Capture, but nothing happens when I open the Scanner, except for an empty screen that turns completely white when I click on Show Details.
I am REALLY disappointed in Apple OS update. In the PC world (which I bought a mac to get away from) I would just uninstall the entire printer, then re-install it and count on the correct drivers etc. to be loaded. I've tried to find a way to do this on the forums, but no luck. Is there any way to un-install the printer/scanner completely? And then re-install it to pick up the new drivers/software or whatever, that would work?

Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers should resolve this issue. Please perform the following to remove the currently installed drivers: (If any items are not listed, move on to the next step.)
1. Open Finder
2. Open the 'Library' folder.
3. Open the 'Printers' folder.
4. Open the 'Canon' folder.
5. Send the 'BJ Printer' folder to the trash.
6. Return to the 'Library' folder.
7. Open the 'Receipts' folder.
8. Locate any items related to your printer and send them to the trash.
Leave the 'Canon Printer Drivers.pkg' file in the folder if it happens to be listed.
9. Return to the 'Library' folder.
10. Open 'Image Capture'.
11. Open the 'Twain Data Sources' folder.
12. Send any Canon files related to your printer to the trash.
13. Open the Applications folder.
14. Open the Canon Utilities folder.
15. Send the MP Navigator to the trash.
16. Restart your computer.
To get your MP800 Canon printer operating , please follow these steps:
Download the following drivers:
mcpd-mac-mp800-10_51_2-ea11.dmg
msd_-mac-mp800-12_13_3-ej7.dmg
mpnosx207ej7.dmg
Once the downloads are completed, open each installer package to begin setup.
Once this process is completed, try scanning and printing with your MP800 Canon printer.

Unable to Communicate with Printer message, but still prints

I installed a new ENVY 4500 printer on my Windows XP system. and it there are two problems:
1. when I try to print, it tkes some time, then a message window appears with "unable to communicate with printer", but it still prints. I have uninstalled the printer and the drivers and reinstalled, but to no avail.
2. I have a Seagate GoFlex USB backup drive attached. However, when the printer is connected, the Seagate drive disappears. It happily coexisted with my former HP C4100 printer for years, but the new one seems to cause problems.

I solved the problem. I purchased a new USB cable for the printer. I deleted the printer, uninstalled the print drivers, and completely reinstalled the printer. At first the installation did not work, but I discovered the USB cable was not completely inserted into the printer. Initially it felt like it was, but I gave it an extra push and it clicked into place. At that point the installation completed successfully. Now the printer and the Seagate drive work properly.

Canon printer paused

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, every time I try to print to the ethernet networked Canon MP 620 printer, nothing happens.
I see the printer icon in the dock flash, the message says it is printing but nothing happens. I pause the printer then resume a few seconds later and the document usually prints. On occassion, a window opens and I need to enter my password.
Printer is hard wired ( ethernet ) to an Apple Extreme Base Station.
I downloaded the most recent Canon printer drivers. As a non-techie, do I need to remove the old drivers, uninstall and reinstall the printer with the new drivers ?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Dan

The new driver should overwrite the old. So no removal of files is required at this stage.
What I do recommend you try is removing the current printer from Print & Scan and then adding the network printer again. The see if that will print.

HP Laser Jet Professional M1210 Series I want to uninstall the printer?

Hi There,
I was using HP Laser Jet Professional M1210 Series but after my printer got damaged by floods, I want to uninstall the printer but it shows me to complete the printing jobs which I am not able to find anywhere. Please help me out how can I uninstall the said pinter.
Shabir Bhat

Hi @Shabir_Bhat ,
I see by your post that you are unable to uninstall the printer software, you are getting a message that there are still print jobs in the queue. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Clear Printer Spooler Files and Enable the Spooler Service.
In desktop mode, press the Windows key and R at the same time, to show the run command line.
1. Type "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
2. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
3. Click Stop and click OK.
4. Navigate to "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers", right click on the document and left click to delete the job.
5. Run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
6. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
7. Click on Start. In the Startup Type list, make sure that "Automatic" is selected and click OK.
If there was any jobs stuck in the queue, after doing these steps, go back in the Print Queue and try deleting them again.
Go to the Startup screen, (tiles menu) type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printers.
Right-click or tap and hold the name of the printer, and then click or tap See what's printing.
Click or tap Printer, and then click or tap Cancel All Documents.
Click or tap Yes to confirm the action.
If documents remain in the print queue, restart the computer.
If you are still having issues, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Win 8.1 and J4680c All-in-One: Can't reinstall the printer/drivers

I have followed all of the instructions to re-set up my wireless network, uninstall the printer/drivers, and reinstall the printer/drivers (including renaming all of the .dat files as .old), but once it gets to the install wizard, at the Checking System phase, it tells me:
C:\Users\Patricia\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS41F0\Setup\hpzshlaut...
System cannot find the file specified.
What is this? I cannot get past it to finish reinstalling, so I cannot use any of the functionality of the printer other than printing! Can anyone help??
