Upgraded to Maverick and printer no longer works

I upgraded to Maverick and my printer: Canon MX850 no longer works.  I downloaded drivers from canon website but did not seem to work

First, delete the driver you downloaded. OS X includes a driver for your printer:

I would delete the printer from the system, restart, and the system should "find" your printer.

  • I have been using a WD Passport with Time Machine on my iMac.  Since I upgraded to Mavericks, the backup no longer works.  What do I need to do?

    I have been using a WD Passport with Time Machine on my iMac.  Since I upgraded to Mavericks, the backup no longer works.  What do I need to do?
    I assume that upgrading the WD SmartWare is irrelevant as it is not being used.  Should I upgrade just as a precaution?
    One complication is that I have renamed my user since the last time I backed up.

    the problem is with the WD Passport drives.   I also have one, and since upgrading to 10.9 I can no longer use mine either.  See if this solution works for you: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23943103#23943103

  • Upgraded to CS3 and Flash no longer works in browsers

    Since upgrading to CS3 my Flash no longer works in my top
    table. Exact same files worked fine in CS and CS2 and whatever it
    was before CS. Any Flash that is in the top table on any of my
    pages doesn't appear.
    Now it doesn't appear in IE or Firefox. Can see it fine if I
    "preview in browser" but when uploaded to site can't view at all.
    Any solutions? Please reply to [email protected]
    Thanks.

  • Lost all my music on iTunes and printer no longer works

    What is going on with my comp? Lost all music on itunes. it says can't locate music. Docked my ipod and it wiped that as well.
    Tried to print but nothing. In preferences it knows it's the Epson C64 but it just won't print. When I take it out of Airport and plug directly to iMac, nothing.
    Never switched the machine off so how do I get the music back. It was playing yesterday and today, it's gone. No updates were done, the machine has not been touched in anyway
    Help

    Senti,
    In your Music > iTunes folder, is your
    music
    still in there? Thats where your music should be
    by
    default. Otherwise, do a search with
    Spotlight
    for your music and see where it has gone.
    As for the printer, make sure you have proper
    Intel
    compatible drivers.

    After following instructions from the above link, I
    now get error 50 when trying to add my Epson Stylus
    C64
    With the loss of my iTunes and now the printer I am
    renaming my Intel Core Duo to Mental Core Blimey.
    When will the troubles end?
    Phoning support in Bangalore see if they can help out
    Ok didn't phone support, couldn't bear it so ploughed through. I managed to install driver only if I connected printer directly to iMac.
    Then tried to plug it back to the Airport Extreme, no workio. Checked utilities for Airport, nothing in there to include update wireless printing.
    Suggestions?

  • Printer driver for workforce 645 was updated yesterday and printer no longer works, driver is no longer available from apple or epson.l

    When i go to the epson website it says the printer driver is available from apple. When i go to the printer selection it sees the printer but says that apple has no drivers for this printer. In the updates section of the app store it shows that the printer driver was update yesterday.

    If you're sure you tried all of these steps and the issue persists, contact Apple technical support

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

    Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
    /Library/Printers/Canon
    and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

  • Just upgraded to Mavericks and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks?

    Just upgraded my 2009 iMac (3.06 Ghz, core 2 duo $GB 1067 Mhz DDR3) to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 and my HP6100 printer no longer works, when I try to reload the software it says PowerPC apps no longer supported.  Printer says the software was improperly installed. Is there a way to use my HP6100 Printer with Mavericks or do I need to go back to Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard? 

    It's not clear whether your printer is included in the Apple list - there is an Officejet 6100 and a couple of other types. Go to the page linked to above and use the browser search for 6100.
    I'm afraid HP are notorious for not supporting older printers - I had the same problem. Probably they hope you will buy another printer (I did, but it was a Canon). I did look on HP's site and couldn't see a driver - you could give it a try (make sure you have the exactly correct printer name):
    http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=HP6100&search_search type=s-002
    Alternatively ou could try Gutenprint (open source software):
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    I found it would indeed drive the printer, but the colour dithering wasn't very satisfactory and the duplex printing bolt-on wouldn't work. However as Gutenprint is free it's worth trying to see if it's any good for you.

    Canon does not support the MP530 on Mavericks, they have not produced drivers and apparently do not intend to,

    after installing the Maverick upgrade my Apple Mail search and flags no longer work correctly? I've already rebuilt the mailboxes with no change in the problem. What else can I do???

    Hi as2020,
    If you are having issues with Mail in Mavericks, you may want to make sure you have updated to the most recent release. You may find the following article helpful:

  • I upgraded to Mavericks and now some of my utilities --- such as disk utility and system information no longer work.

    I upgraded to Mavericks and now some of my utilities --- such as disk utility and system information no longer work. I find Disk Utility useful and would like to have it. Doesn't Makericks include

    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
    If that doesn't work, I'd reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?

    My screen sharing functionality did not show up in the dock with an updated icon.  It had a question mark- shows my connections but nothing works, I did make sure screen sharing is on and also connected to VPN.  Once I tried to launch screen sharing nothing happens.  Such an elegant solution in Mavericks not does not work. Ugh. Help!

    This is the post that got me set up- I too am running an older version at work vs. Yosemite. As soon as I followed is advice everything worked.
    Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?
    I believe the location of the "Screen Sharing" app has changed, which explains why if you had it in the dock it has been replaced by a ?
    Don't forget you can launch screen sharing (once your VPN connection is up) by typing in the Safari destination slot vnc://remotemachinename:portnumber  (omit the :port number if you are using the default VNC port, 5900).  This should launch Screen Sharing and put its icon in the dock.  You can drag the Screen Sharing icon to the left of your dock and it will hopefully remain there after you exit Screen Sharing, or you can right-click on the icon when it's running and select Options->Show in Finder to find out its new location and drag its icon to the permanent entries in your dock.
    Hope this helps; worked for me.

  • I upgraded to Mavericks and automatic updates disabled printer wifi connection

    I upgraded to Mavericks and purchased new HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 printer with wireless connection.  Has been working fine until today my system downloaded a bunch of upgrades automatically: I didn't know how to stop the automatic downloads (I was accustomed to deciding which ones I wanted in SnowLeopard!)  but it downloaded all of them and I don't know which ones to trash and I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DISINSTALL ANY OF THEM! I am really in a quandary and about to throw the new printer and anyone else I can find out the window~
    Here is list of automatic downloads:
    OS X NTP Security Update; Security Update 2014-005v. 1.0; Safari v.7.1.2./ Remote Desktop Client Update v.3.7.1/ OS X Update Combined 10.9.5/ iTunes v. 12.0.1/ iBooks Update v. 1.0.1/ HP Printer Software v.3
    Now the printer won't connect to Wifi (nor with USB cable)... It was working fine yesterday. I read that some updates block connections but have no idea what to do now???
    HELP
    Rose

    Have you tried removing the HP from Printers & Scanners and then adding it back again to see if this will let you print?
    You could also try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will remove all devices from the Printers & Scanners preference pane thus requiring you to add them back again. To reset, open Printers & Scanners and right click in the section where your printers are listed, A small pop-up menu will appear. Select it and confirm that you want to reset and then enter your admin password when prompted.

  • I upgraded to Mavericks and can't find a driver to work with my EPSON Perfection 4990 scanner.  The Epson site says to update thru my mac but it there is nothing there.  Any suggestions?

    I upgraded to Mavericks and can't get my Epson Perfection 4990 scanner to work.  I had gotten it to work with a driver I downloaded from EPSON with Mountain Lion

    Hi...
    Epson is vorking on updating drivers and utilities for this scanner.
    From the epson site :
    "Description:
    An OS X 10.9 compatible Scanner Driver and EPSON Scan Utility for this model is not yet available but is coming soon. Please check back for availability."
    So, until then you can only use the basic scanning provided by Image Capture.
    Alternatively take a look on vuescan.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined.Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and clicked Update for the Epson printer software. Update occurred by I chose "not now" to a dialog and it didn't install

    Hi, upgraded to Mavericks and Epson scanner software was quarantined. Powered on the scanner, plugged in the USB, clicked Software Update, and an Epson Printer Software Update appeared in the App Store Updatees area.  Clicked Update for the Epson printer software.  During the download, I was presented with a dialog asking me if I wanted the software to be automatically installed. I chose the "not now" option and as far as the App Store in concerned the software was installed, but it has not been.  Where did this go to and how can I force it to install?  Or is there some way to force the App Store to go through the download process again.  Many thanks!   Joseph
