What is "Printer WS" for my Canon MX710 series printer?

In addition to "Canon MX710 series Printer," there is a "Canon MX710 series Printer WS" listed.  I never print to the WS one, and would like to remove it from my printer list to reduce the icon options.  What is it and why would I want to print to it?  Couldn't find a clear answer to this on the net or in this forum.  Thanks.

Web Services, and it makes a difference when you try to connect wirelessly to your pc if you have printer WS selected or not.

    I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac. It said the installation was sucessful, but when I try to add a printer, no go. The printer does'nt show up. I'm fairly new to the Mac, after switching from windows. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

    Hold down the option key and select
     ▹ System Information...
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, select
    Hardware ▹ USB
    from the list on the left. On the right you should now see a list of all connected USB devices, as well as some built-in components. Is the device shown?

  • Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

    I'm trying to setup my Canon MX870 USB ink jet printer plugged into my Airport Extreme's USB port.  However, I keep getting a message of; "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."  And then I have to click cancel.
    The "Print & Scan" from System Preferences, can see the printer as it has the NAME: Canon MX870 series,  and the LOCATION: 'the name of my network',  and USE: MX870 series.  But after clicking "Add", it tries to install the software (I've already installed the latest drivers however on my Mac Pro) and that's when I get this message;
    "Can't install the software for the Canon MX870 series because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    Any ideas, help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello Marty,
    It sounds like you are not able to add your Canon printer in System Preferences.  I found an article with steps you can take to resolve this:
    Resolution
    USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

  • I have mac os 10.7.4 update for hp photosmart c4100 series printer (printer needs a driver), where do I find a driver?

    I have mac os 10.7.4 update for hp photosmart c4100 series printer (printer needs a driver), where do I find a driver?

    The last driver that Canon released for the iP6600D was v10.51 for OS X 10.7. You could try downloading and installing this driver via this link.
    Note that the driver may not be digitally signed so Gatekeeper will block its installation. To get past Gatekeeper, you can right-click on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. You will then be given the option to install the driver.

  • Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer using Lightroom?

    Does anyone know where to find printer profiles for Epson paper with MG6200 printer for use in LightRoom5?

    Epsnm should provide recommended settings (I.e. Which Canon paper type to select). They may also have profiles on their site.

  • MacBook Air can not find canon f8500 series printer on network.

    MacBook Air running OS X Yosemite can not find Canon MF8500 series printer on wireless network. AirPrint is turned on at printer. iPhone iOS 8.2 can not AirPrint to printer as well. Recently switched from Verizon to Comcast for internet service, no issues before switch. Tried to add printer via IP address, it was located but could not print to printer.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

    Try setting it up as something other than AirPrint. I have seen several posts where that was the problem.

    Hi @jennirvinpest,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that you are getting the error message that says your USB is not connected with your HP Photosmart c4200 series.  
    For further assistance, I will need some more information:
    The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is able to make copies.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

  • Prints too dark and contrasty when printing from IDCS3 to Canon IP4000 inkjet printer

    I have a problem with colours when printing from IDCS3 onto a Canon IP4000 inkjet printer and Ilford Galarie smooth pearl paper. I cannot find a solution to it or maybe I am not looking for the right search terms. Maybe someone can help me here.
    I am using IDCS3 on a Mac G5 PPC with 2Ghz dual processors running OS 10.4.11. I have an Eizo ColorEdge CE210w monitor which I profile regularly with a Gretag Macbeth eye-one device.
    I have designed a 50 page document with about 200 images. Now when I print from IDCS3 the images are too dark and very contrasty. But when I print the same image from Photoshop CS3 the print is fine.
    I have been using the canned ICC profile from Ilfords website.
    The one difference was that in Photoshop I had a choice of rendering intent in the print dialogue which I set to relative colorimetric. (I have subsequently found that I have the choice of rendering intents in ID if I select each image and change the RI before I get to the print stage which can be a pain)
    I would appreciate your help with this as I do not really want to redesign the layout in Photoshop all over again.
    Thank you in advance.

    You can change overall rendering intents for each document under Edit/Assign Profiles.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    This Apple Support Communities thread started in November 2010 has a minor tweak to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) that will probably allow your printer to work. Originally published for 10.6.5, I'm using in on OS X 10.6.7, and have used it successfully with both 10.6.6 and 10.6.8.
    Note that your Mac has to be on in order to print.
    Link: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
    (Sorry, haven't tested with newest OS X 10.7 Lion, and have no plans to upgrade to Lion.)
    There is also a free Canon app in the app store for printing photos only.

  • Canon 2100 Series printing in reverse order

    I have a Canon 2100 series -- an MG 2120.  When I print things out, they come out in the tray in reverse order -- a six page document will thus have p. 6 on top when I take the stack out.  I cannot find a setting on my computer to make things print out in reverse order, so that page one will be on top and I won't have to manually put multipage documents in order.  Help?

    Hi oldwest,
    To change the order in which pages are printed, please follow the steps located at the link below:
    PIXMA MG2120 - Changing the Print Order
    Hope this helps!
