Which connection port to use on the Canon MP530 printer

I'm not sure if I'm using the correct port on this printer to connect to my computer. There's a port on the back that looks like something other than a perfectly flat edged wide rectangular USB port, but it has the symbols that you see on the end of USB 2.0 cables molded above the port on the printer indicating it's that kind of port. I have another port on the front of the machine that looks like it fits a USB 2.0 cable, being that it has a nice, wide and flat connection area. It has some other kind of weird symbol though that I don't recognize molded above the port. Am I confusing it with something else? When I use a USB 2.0 male A connector cable that I connect one end of to my Mac and the other also with a male A conncector to that port I'm having no luck getting the printer to be seen by my computer even after installing the latest drivers that Canon's website recommends downloading from its' site. Can anybody help me figure out if I'm simply misunderstanding the kind of cable I need to connect my printer to my computer?

I was using the wrong kind of USB cable to connect the printer and the computer. I needed to use a USB type B connector on the printer and a USB type A connector on the printer. My problem is now solved, although I still don't know what the other port is for that I was connecting my USB type A connector to. There's no mention of it on Canon's website or the papers and manuals that came with the printer. That's lousy manual building on Canon's part for this model.

  • Which connection I should use in the ejb clustered environment

    We use EJB in jboss cluster environment. We have one oracle database.
    our existed system use TXConnection(transactional connection) for the data insert, update and delete. Using the Connection for the data retriving.
    I think TXConnection fits to use for the distributed database. So we should change our DAO layer to use only Connection.
    Is that true?
    Need help.
    Thanks.

    Huh? Connection is an interface. You will have to use
    any implementation anyway.It is not so simple. This is a legit question because he has asking if a specific implementation is required.
    It would have been better posted in the JDBC forum. I don't know what the answer is for certain but I would lean towards yes it is required because of the clustered nature.

  • Using time capsule model A1409 and trying to use it as only backup. Already have Verizon wireless router. Do not know which cable port to use in back of time capsule. And also it is asking for password. Have tried all of mine and it will not work.

    Want to us my time capsule model A1409  as only backup. 2 TB hard drive.
    Already have Verizon wireless router. Do not want to use Time capsule as router, only back up for iMac.
    Do not know which cable port to use in back of time capsule to Ethernet port back of my iMac.
    And also it is asking for password for the server John Garland's Time Capsule so Time machine can access it..
    Have tried all of passwords can think of and none work.
    Held the reset button for one second on back of capsule and do not see if anything happened.
    What a conundrum.
    Appreciate any help to get this working.
    Thanks,
    John R

    I have a 2TB Timecapsule and really only use it for Time Machine backups. But the Wi-Fi side is used to sync my iPad at times.
    Mine is wiredup thus;
    Eth cable from iMac to modem (not the WAN port should you have one),  then eth cable from modem to T/Cap in the WAN port (bottom port with an O sign above it)
    I believe when its connected up you may have to set up a wireless network. Follow the instructions to set up Wi-Fi and Network
    and then give it a password. The WiFi icon should appear in the menu bar where you can switch it on or off.
    Its been sometime since I set it with the help of Apple Techs so I might be a bit rusty.

  • I have a MacBook Air (10.8.2) connected to Canon MP530 printer.  I'm unable to scan documents as MP Navigator is not supported.   Any ideas on how to scan using this printer.

    I have a MacBook Air (10.8.2) connected to a Canon MP530 printer.    I am unable to scan documents as it appears my Mac does not support MP Navigator.   Any ideas?     I have made an inquiry to Canon but have not received any answers yet.

    Why do you say your MBA won't support it? MP Navigator for OS X 8 and the MP530 is available here.

  • Best approach to report on ports in use during the month

    I have been asked to come up with a report once a month outlining the network devices ports that are in use per cust
    omer location.
    I see the report device manager but it doesnt appear to give the simple number of ports in use by the device during the past 24 hours.
    Any thoughts or ideas would be great. It appears our customer doesnt want to pay for installed ports, just ports that are used during the month.
    Thanks,

    Hi Peter,
    You don't say what type of reporting that you want to do? I'm assuming that it is probably something like displaying the last 1000 most recently approved forms or similar?
    If that's the case then you may be able to achieve what you need using the Search Core Results Web Part with some clever querying and is likely to be the most performant method.
    Once you have a result set back, you can then look at styling this using XSLT in the SCRWP or alternatively look at using the Search Query Model from code in a farm solution/webpart.
    Alternatively you could look at using SSIS to extract the data using the SharePoint List into a SQL table on a nightly basis. (This article covers how to get data out of SharePoint and into SSIS..

  • Want to check which data source is used by the composites

    HI All,
    I have a requirement here in which i want to see that which data source is used by the composites deployed on SOA.
    I dont have the code.
    Is there any quick way to do it(from console or backend without downloading the code)
    Thanks

    You can export the jar file from the EM console.
    1) Login to EM console
    2) Right click on the composite and select Export and With default options click on Export button
    Find the data source name from the exported code.
    Mark the posting appropriately as "helpful" or "correct answer", if your issue is solved.

  • What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
    What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
    Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
    So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.

  • Windows Cannot Connect to Canon MP530 Printer via AEBSn

    OK, here's my setup, and my problem:
    1. Mac mini, Windows Vista PC, Windows XP PC all connected to an AEBSn via Ethernet.
    2. Bonjour for Windows installed on both PCs.
    3. Ministack w/built-in powered USB2.0 Hub & Internal HDD connected to AEBSn's USB port.
    3. External HDD in USB 2.0 enclosure attached to Ministack via USB port.
    4. Canon MP530 Printer connected to Ministack via USB port.
    I can read and write to the Minstack's internal HDD and the other External HDD from any computer on the network, no problem. I can print to the printer from the Macintosh. But I CANNOT print from the Windows PC.
    I can, allegedly, see the printer from the Windows machines and add it via Bonjour. I have also tried to add it via the method listed at iFelix's website (i.e. adding a printer by creating a new TCP/IP printer port). But nothing works.
    Here is what happens: everything "appears" to work and the printer shows up on the Windows machines and in fact quite often once it is set up I can print a test page. However, once I try to use the machine later on, after the initial set-up it never works, this has happened now over about 15-20 cycles of installing, uninstalling, and re-installing the printer.
    What I notice happens by looking at the Windows printer queue when i send a document to the printer in Windows is the following:
    1. Sometimes the print dialog will simply say something like "Checking printer status" and just freeze there and nothing prints.
    2. Sometimes it will add the document to the queue and then immediately delete it and nothing prints.
    3. Quite often it will simply say something like "Printer is not responding" or "Printer is offline" and the print job just sits in the queue and nothing prints.
    4. Sometimes, and I am not joking, the document will print out minutes later, inexplicably, once ten minutes later after the computer was turned off!
    This is maddening and I would love a solution, even if that solution is ditch the Canon and buy "insert printer name" or "known working printer", because at this point I just need to print from the network with some consistency. I can print from any computer if the Canon is directly connected, but that is a horrible process of plugging and unplugging USB cables, and this is SUPPOSED to work.
    Also, I would note that I am not adverse to using a switch with the printer, and would prefer an auto switch if anyone knows one that is know to work with PCs and Mac. I would prefer one that did not take an Ethernet port (like the new Belkin one) as I need all three of them for wired connections.
    Any help greatly appreciated as I have been battling this problem for many days now with no help, and the Apple Geniuses at my local store could not provide a solution or even recommend a printer that was known to work with Windows via the AEBSn.

    Thanks, Arimaris!
    Appreciate the response!
    Your first link should be: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/8013.html
    That is the link for the compatibility list for the NEWER AEBSn, the one you provided is for the older base station. I've seen this list before and the problem is that most of the printers are older there, and hard to find, and there is no certainty that if you do buy that older printer it will workk as the disclaimer on the article reads: "Please also note that due to changes in firmware and software upgrades some printers which are in this list may no longer in fact be compatible."
    I would love to see an OFFICIAL lost from Apple about which printers are KNOWN to work with the AEBSn via USB, but I am thinking they might not do that so as not to anger their partners who cannot seem to make their printers function properly via Windows.
    I've also tried the method mentioned in your second link, many times, and it does not work for me, either consistently or reliably. I've gotten the printer to work that way (creating a new printer port via TCP/IP w/ AEBS IP addy) maybe once or twice, usually right after I set it up, and then immediately after the test print, or after a restart, it stops working. I've also had it not work after set-up. I've also experienced the "It doesn't work, walk away, and then it prints 15 mins later" syndrome, with this approach. Also, it is a pain to later delete this new TCP/IP port and try again.
    Something has got to give, someone has got to know the answer to this problem. I valiantly tried to get answers from the "experts" and "geniuses" at MacWorld this month, to no avail. Sorry you are experiencing the same, I feel your pain.
