Windows 7, and Pixma iP6600D printer. Is there a driver?

Just upgraded computer to Windows 7, and broke out my old Canon Pixma iP6600D printer. Having difficulty downloading a driver and getting it to print. Will this printer even work with Win 7?

Hi Judith!
The PIXMA iP6600D is fully compatible with Windows 7 using the driver provided by Windows Update. This driver should install automatically when you connect a USB cable directly from the printer to your computer. To see if this installed correctly, please perform the following:
1. Click Start, Control Panel, then Printers and Other Devices.
The printer should be listed here as PIXMA iP6600D. If it is, please try printing from it. Your printer is now installed correctly.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

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...

I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

Thanks, PAHU, for providing the Australian site for the Canon driver. I have an MP500 and it still seemed to print fine after I downloaded Yosemite. However, as others have reported, the MP Navigator no longer performed normally in scanning. The "Save As" keys didn't align and therefore didn't work but one could still scan using an alternative method ("Scan with scanner driver" button).
In any case, my hard drive subsequently failed on this 2010 27" iMac and when it was replaced the tech installed Yosemite 10.10.1. Just tried printing this evening and it wouldn't. Advised I needed undefined "software." Got various error messages. Went to Google and read this and downloaded that to no avail. Tried the Gutenprint driver but it too didn't work. Latest error was "stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter." Had no clue what that meant! System info listing for the printer (under About this Mac, System Info) lacked any reference to permissions or a printer utility version (but I didn't notice or know significance of omissions). Finally I downloaded from the Australian site, just the print driver 10.51.2. The printer then printed!!! (The MP Navigator scanner remains flawed but works by clicking "Scan with scanner driver" rather than the normal way.) I'm holding my breath that things will continue to work.
Thanks again, PAHU, for your help, and Greg and Pam and Andy too!

I'm trying to upload my pixma iP6600D printer unto my laptop which has Windows 8, but am unable.

When I insert the cd in the drive, the computer won't even recognize it. Please assist me with this. Thanks!

Hello abreuja.
Unfortunately, the PIXMA iP6600D is not compatible with the Windows 8 operating system. The printer is only compatible with Windows 7 and earlier. I apologize for this inconvenience.

Windows 7 and my laser printer

Hello
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and I have a problem with one my printers, the printer I have an issue with is a Laserjet 1020 and it will not print from any source on the PC, (Internet, word, Adobe PDF filesetc) the printer is installed and was working fine until some windows uipdates came along and were installed, when I print a test page it work from the HP utilities. The printer is showing on my list of printer and the driver is installed, when I try to print using word and excel,it says unable to connect, adobe reader says no printer installed, and while on the web it says unknown error occured (I use both explorer and firefox), my second printer is a Deskjet 2050 and that alllows printing from all sources and there has been no issues.
Hope you are able to Help
Paul (UK)

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your query. Several of us discussed this issue, and we all agreed that, if it were our printer, our first approach would be to uninstall the existing 1020 LaserJet driver and re-install the latest driver version offered on HP.com. An updated driver for the 1020 became available in late 2010. Perhaps it was in response to this latest Win7 update. Hopefully, the link below will get you to the page I found on HP.com that offers this print driver. If not, go to HP.com, click "Support & Drivers", select "Download drivers and software, enter your printer model, and proceed to the drivers download page for the 1020. Hopefully, this link will get you there: 1020 driver download

Can I dual boot windows 7 and mountain lion with an external hard drive.

I have Mac OSX mountain lion installed and running on my 2TB external hard drive. Boot camp says that I have to use the default flash storage that came with my computer.. Is there a way to put it on my external hard drive if I partition it? I also am having a problem when I tried to use the default storage the setup would not let me format it to NTFS

By default, Boot Camp formats the drive with FAT32. That's because Windows XP could be installed with FAT32 so, in order to write on that partition on Mac OS X, Boot Camp used it instead of NTFS.
If you want to install Windows 7 (it's the only version that your Mac supports), you will have to format the Boot Camp partition in NTFS manually. To do it, just start the Windows installation as usual but, on partitioning screen, choose "BOOTCAMP" volume, press "Drive options" and then, Format, so the partition will be formatted in NTFS and you will be able to install Windows

Dual booting Windows 7 and Vista on dv9620 on dual hard drives

Hi this might look like a repeat question but i haven't seen it answered by anyone that has tried it.
I downloaded the release candidate of Windows 7 and i want to dual boot it on my notebook.
The drives I have available are Disc0 which holds C: (the drive running Vista) and E: the HP_Recovery partition.
Then I have Disc1 which holds D: the Data drive and nothing else.
I want to run Windows 7 on the D: drive So can anyone who has done this tell me how they did it? Most of the dual booting how to's I've seen are for for booting on seperate partitions a single hard drive and because i'm something of a novice to this I would like some advice with more reference to my situation.

Hello and welcome,
You can probably finagle the partitions to allow for dual boot: copy the contents of D: to C: and delete D:, for instance. Speculating, since I don't have an IdeaPad to test on. You usually/probably/maybe lose the OneKey Recovery feature if you touch the partitions.
Others here on the Linux board may have been able to preserve OKR, but I'll leave that to them to describe since I haven't done it.
Long way of leading up to the question: is it sufficient to run Linux in a virtual machine, or as a WUBI install within windows? That keeps things simple and makes backups much easier as well.
Whatever you do, burn your recovery media first. Now.

Unable to set up wireless network between macbook pro and Pixma MX860 printer/scanner

I am about ready to throw everything out the window. I have followed the advice given in an archived discussion on this forum, but I always get hung up just a few steps from the end when I don't get the window I'm supposed to get.
Supposedly, I'm to link the computer and printer initially with the USB cable, configure it, and then it's supposed to work WITHOUT the USB cable.
I've configured the printer in my MacBook Pro, but I'm supposed to "highlight the access point" (presumably my router) in the IJ printer window, and it isn't there.
I've tried running a LAN cable from my printer to my router. That doesn't work, either.
I'm running Snow Leopard (still a bit afraid of Lion).

I'm not familiar with your printer but from what you have said, can I ask the following questions:
Have you actually been able to print using a cable from from Mac Book Pro to your printer, or is this a new setup?
From my own experience with routers/computers/printers you normally have to pair the router to your printer/computer if connecting wirelessly, this involves pressing one or more buttons on the back of the router, then type in the very long security (WEP) keys printed on the bottom of the router.
Apologies if you're not presented with the same problems as I did, but at least it's a start!
Pairing of laptop computers and printers using wifi using the router is sometimes overlooked - look for the WEP keys/access codes and buttons on the back or underside of the router, write down the numbers and letters, and check out whether any buttons on the router need to be pressed!!!

Windows 7 and Acrobat 8 printing problems

I recently installed Windows 7 as my operating system and when I try to print an image I dont get an image from the printer, just some unconnected marks. Once I was able to find a setting in acrobat that read "not to print pictures as text" but am unable to find it again. Adobe support blew me off so I need to try this avenue. Don't think I will go with Adobe again. Any body know where this setting is?

Acrobat 8 does not work under Windows 7. You need to install either Acrobat 9 with all updates or Acrobat X.

Windows OS and Mac back up on same Hard drive

I currently use BootCamp with Windows on it's own hard drive in my MacPro. The Windows HD is just 120GB since that is all I really need. I would like to put in a 1.5 TB HD and partition it so a Bootable Windows is one a small portion of it and then the rest of the drive I would like to use as Mac back up drive. Is this possible and if so, what do I have to do?
I would like to just clone the current Windows drive so I do not have to reload anything at all when I transfer it to the new larger HD.
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The drive is most likely formatted for the PC and so while the Mac can possibly Read from it it's almost certain it can't Write to it in the current state. If you reformat the drive as FAT32 then both the Mac and PC would be able to use it but _I'd not recommend this as the ideal backup scenario_ 1TB drives are very cheap now and it would be better for you to buy one exclusively for the Mac and then use Time Machine on it to maintain regular backups.

Printer is asking for an user acces code instead of windows login and password?

I have been seeing the HP printers asking(LaserJet M4555 MFP, LaserJet 500 color MFP M575 etc) for user access code instead of windows login and password.
One thing i have noticed is that when this happens there is a slight change in the EWS page configuration at security -> access control.The device administrator tabe is unchecked as you can see below ehen this happens
Have tried cold resetting the printer and restore facory settings but this does not works and some thimes it does works for a while but the issue is returing back.
We do not need this access code promt instead we need the usual windows login and password that used be there originally.
alsothis is how the settings look like after a cold reset somtimes when it does not asks for user access code , the problem is cold rese does lways works and it reverts back ois original settings
