Wired LAN for Canon MP620

I have had mixed success once I upgraded my MacBook Pro 17CoreDuo to Snow Leopard with my Canon MP620 in my office. In Leopard, it was set up as a wired LAN, with a cable running from my Airport Extreme Base Station to my printer. Scanning was nice and speedy.
All I can seem to do now is get it set up wirelessly, and the scanning is way too slow.
What is the proper way to set up a wired LAN with Airport Extreme?
I have gone so far as to get the printer on the same IP settings as my Mac.
Mac IP is 192.168.1.55 Printer IP is 192.168.1.70
Mac Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 Printer Subnet Mask is the same
Mac Router setting is 192.168.1.1 Printer Router Setting is the same
On the Printer, it is set to Wired LAN, and the wired LAN settings are all reading correctly.
I can print as long as I keep the USB connected to the printer. As soon as I try to remove it, it shows up as "offline".

When you have the printer connected via wired or wireless, you will have to add another print queue. The USB queue is purely for connecting from the Mac to the printer via USB, so this is why it will show offline when the USB is disconnected.
To add the network printer on 10.6, you don't use More Printer > Canon IJ Printer menu like you did with 10.5. Instead, you need to select the Default browser view and wait. The printer will eventually appear in the Default view with the Kind column showing 'canonijnetwork'. Note that you will probably see the scanner appear very quickly, because it uses a different protocol to advertise itself on the network.
Note that the printer will only advertise itself on the network if the v10.26 driver is installed. The version 10.19 driver included with 10.6 does not work across the network. If you open the Options & Supplies button for the USB printer queue, it will show which version you are using under the General tab.
Note also, if you have the Parallels VM application installed, this can stop the network printer from appearing in the Default browser view.

  • Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620.  Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

    Just upgraded to snow leopard, downloader apple support drivers for canon mp620.  Why won't a printer list display in add printer window?

    Assuming the MP620 is connected to your wireless network, then there are two components to this device - the printer and the scanner. The printer uses Canon proprietary software while the scanner is supported by Apple's Bonjour service. So in many cases, you will at least see the scanner, shown as Bonjour Scanner in the Kind column, while the printer can take longer to appear and is shown as canonijnetwork in the Kind column. If you cannot see either then you have a network issue. Try turning off the MP620 for a minute and then turning back on. Then see if the scanner / printer component appears in the Add Printer window. If you still don't see either, then confirm the MP and the Mac are using the same network. If you know the MP's IP address you can use Network Utility to Ping the address. You can also enable Bonjour Bookmarks in Safari preferences and when selected, the MP620 should appear.

  • Wired LAN for Laserjet P1100 printer?

    I have a Laserjet pro P1100 printer that was connected to my iMac desktop via USB.We've moved and our new house has wired LAN outlets which I'd prefer to use rather than USB or wireless connections. Is there a way to adapt a standard RJ45 ethernet cable to the USB port on my printer?

    Hey @drmac1 ,
    Thanks a lot for the question, now lets get you an answer!
    Unfortunately that is not possible.
    Sorry for the inconvenience. Have a great day!
    I worked for HP.

  • Wrt160N as a access point for Canon MP620 Printer

    I have a desktop running XP.  I am using comcast as my ISP.  I have my printer attached to my Linksys wrt160N router via Ethernet.  My desktop is also attached via ethernet.  I also have a laptop attached to the router via wireless. How do I access the printer via the router from either the desktop or laptop?  I had it configured properly in the past then lost my motherboard.  Once the PC was rebuilt, I lost access.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    I believe the changes should be made on the computer itself. The computers you have are configured to recognize the printer via usb connection. You need to configure the computer to recognize it via the network. What you can do is to reset the printer and run its setup CD on the computer again.

  • No "Wake for network access" over wired LAN

    Hello,
    I could not get “Wake for network access” to work over wired LAN connection. If I have WiFi enabled as well, or WiFi is the only network interface enabled the “Wake for network access” works fine. However, my Mac Pro is not responding to when I am trying to reach it remotely if only the wired Lan connection is used.
    Mac Pro 6-Core 3.33GHz 24GB RAM, latest updates, Snow Leopard, “Wake for network access” enabled in Energy Saver settings.
    It seams to me, that it was working some time ago.
    Can anyone suggest me places to look to, settings to check, commands to run ..... to get it working?

    Thank you Grant Bennet-Alder for responding. I will try to describe it as step-by-step as possible.
    - I have back to my mac enabled with screen and file sharing on my Mac Pro
    - By default I use wired NIC to connect my MP to network with manual configuration. (I have tried enable DHCP for that interface, however, the result was the same)
    If I need to reach files on my Mac Pro (while I am away from it) from my Macbook Pro, I open finder on my MBP where I see my Mac Pro. I click on it if I need to access files or use "Share screen..." button if I want to access MP screen. I have the same result if I try to enter vnc://xxx or afp://xxx
    my MBP tries to reach MP and brings the message after some time: Connection failed to "xxxxx" Please make sure the screen sharing is enabled....."
    I have no problems remotely accessing my MP if:
         - it is not sleeping (i.e. I ask someone at home to touch its keyboard to wake it up)
         - I have AirPort turned on on my Mac Pro
    I could not access my Mac Pro if:
         - it is sleeping and AirPort is off (the only wired NIC is used to connect to LAN)
    It does not matter am I trying to get screen/file sharing on local network or via internet - the result is the same - if the only wired connection to network is used and MP sleeps - no access.

  • How to get a canon mp620 to work with mac wifi on os 10.5.6

    Hi y'all
    This is simply a summary of the steps outlined by PAHU and Kappy on the tiger print & fax page who are the big brains here that explained the steps that worked for me on Mac OS 10.5.6. Thanks and respect to those guys.
    First thing to understand is the printer doesnt create its own wifi signal for the mac to pick up ( which is what I was expecting) it hooks up via your home wifi set up for which you need a wireless router. If you don't have that you are in a no go situation and will probably want to kill someone.
    So here goes (this may take a while!!)
    1) Got to System Preferences>Internet&Network>Sharing
    check internet sharing
    2) Open Network Utilities in Applications when you are attached to your WiFi network, choose Info (the left most pane) and check what the IP address assigned to your wireless router for your home network. mine came up under Network Interface (en1) and was 192.168.0.1 for the router. You can also check this in System Preferences>Network>Airport>Advanced>TCP/IP. Check the subnet mask there too.
    3) Install the drivers for the Canon MP620 (i tried at first having used the Cd and then downloaded ones from he canon website. Now it works - this is probably relevant. PAHU says you need the Canon IJ Network tool v 2.66 to work!!
    4) Connect the switched on printer via USB.
    5) Go to System Preferences>Print & Fax
    and if no Canon MP620 shows up add the printer (click +) and choose Canon MP620 and then click on Open Print Queue. Click Utility in the top right hand quadrant.
    6) Choose the USB pane and the printer should show up in the window. Click on it and click Network Settings button. Now you are in Canon IJ Network Tool - whether you realised it or not.
    7) It should ask you to set up the printer for the network. Choose your home wifi name (SSID) from options and enter the password you normally use. I have a WPA and used TKIP (Basic Encryption).
    8) Now you need to manually set the IP address for the router and the printer. In the TCP /IP section of Canon IJ Network Tool set the Router address to be the same as you found in Network Utility - in my case 192.168.0.1. Set the subnet mask to be 255.255.255.0 (you can double check this by looking in System Preferences>Network>Airport>Advanced>TCP/IP). Still in the TCP /IP section of Canon IJ Network Tool set IP Address to something that is the same as your router address except change the last digit eg I put 192.168.0.10 instead of 192.168.0.1. This will be the IP address allocated to your printer. Click OK and it will tell you it is sending these settings to your printer.
    9) If you have been struggling with this for a while you may need to enter the printer Settings section choose Device Settings and then LAN settings and choose reset LAN settings to start again.
    10) You know you are winning when you chooses Wireless LAN settings list and things look similar to what you entered on the mac. So unplug the USB and on the printer choose change wireless/wired to wireless.
    11) Now go back to System Preferences>Print & Fax and delete the Canon MP620 entry by pressing -. Then press + choose More Printers, wait a while and select MP620 in Canon IJ Network when it shows up or choose Canon IJ Network if you get the option . The printer should be there as MP620 with a numerical address next to it. Choose that. You should be off. (NB Repeat step 11 for any other macs on the network after downloading and installing the printer driver to that mac)
    12) Now when you chooses Wireless LAN settings list on the printer it should say active.
    Print away.
    BTW Canon support had absolutely no idea at all to do this although endearingkly the guy admitted that the manual wasnt very helpful........they escalated me to a higher level enquiry and said someone should phone me back. When or if they do I will email them this post!!

    OK
    Scenario 1
    (assumes Mobile Me membership)
    Set up Apple Mail in your Mac Pro, iMac, ... and set preferences in Mobile Me to include email stuff
    Login to MacBook Pro, Air, ... other iMac, other Mac Pro > enter mobile me stuff there and Bongo! Apple Mail on the second machine synchronizes with stuff set in Apple Mail on first machine.
    Turn on the iPhone > Bongo! iPhone Mail will show the same email accounts as on the other two machines described above.
    One does not need to re-enter stuff for the sake of it. Mobile Me makes it easy.
    On the second machine create a new email account or add an existing one to Apple Mail > Bongo! Details updated on the first machine and also on iPhone.
    Scenario 2
    (assumes preferences set in Mobile Me for calendars and contacts)
    Create new contacts in each of the three machines (that is the first machine, the second machine and the iPhone) > Bongo! Details will be synched across all three machines (okay, iPhone calls them contacts and the other machines call it Address Book but ... )
    Create appointments in Calendar or iCal in ... well, they are synched as well.
    Scenario 3
    On a PC, away from each of the three machines detailed above. Need contacts and calendars (yes, iCal and iPhone calendar support multiple calendars with an overview summary of all, yep, ALL calendars.
    Fire up Safari on the PC (Safari 4 seems sweet) > go to www.me.com > enter username and password of Mobile Me account > Bongo!
    I suppose it may also be a time thing in sense that many people, self included, might recall a time when every calendar needed every detail keying in (other computer operating systems running different applications). Sure there were import/export utilities or thunks bet these tended to be at variance with each other regarding ordering of data fields, field parameters and in my own experience a bad import though swift was less reliable than re-keying in the details.

  • Canon MP620 simply wont go WiFi

    Hey
    I've been googling like a mad and reading through all MP620 topics in the Apple Discussions forum without any luck. I'm beginning to wonder if my Canon MP620 is defect.
    The printer works when plugged directly to my MacBook via USB. The printer does not work via WiFi after I've put in the info for my Airport Express (802.11n & WPA/WPA2 Personal security) via the print utility tool - I can enter the info but when I try to establish the connection afterwards via the Setup tool I get a "Could not connect to access point".
    Since the printer is close to my Airport I figured that I'd give up on the wireless function and just plug it in to the USB on my Airport - but that doesn't work either!! The Airport registers it, I can find the printer when I search for it on my Macbook, but when I try to connect I get an unkown error (-XXXX).
    The firewall is disabled on my MacBook and after running through several setup guides I'm getting close to just returning the printer. I haven't had this much trouble with any software or hardware since I was on PC
    Any suggestions or guides are welcomened and I'm of course ready to feed you with any information about my system that you might need, please - help!
    (btw, how come you make a printer that can't connect to WiFi through a guide on the printer itself, stupid!)

  • Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN.

    Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN? My iPad is via WiFi connected to that LAN. The WiFi connection of the printer isn't used.

    My Canon MX715 printer is wired connected to the router. My iPad is via WiFi connected to the router.
    The printer could be connected via WiFi but I prefer the wired connection. So the printer is part of the LAN to which I get access with my iPad via a WiFi connection. A network scanner shows them all  connected into the LAN.
    My Windows Laptop also connected via WiFi to the same LAN finds the printer and works well every time.
    The iPad has troubles to find the printer.
    After a couples of hours by trial and error I found an app of Canon Easy PhotoPrint. After I installed the app I found my printer and could print. It worked for the apps at my iPad that have the print feature. After a while I discovered that the different apps at my iPad don't find the printer immediately every time when needed. After multiple trials it works again.
    So the big question that remains: Why doesn't it works always? Have I initialize something after start up or wake up the print access to the Lan?

  • Unable to see Shared Folder / Drop Box on wired LAN

    I am unable to connect to another Mac on my wired LAN (Netgear wndr3700), and it is unable to connect to my machine. We cannot see each others’ Public Folder / Drop Box.
    We can see each others Macs in the Shared section of the Finder’s sidebar, but trying to connect fails: “The server … may not exist or it is unavailable at this time…”
    Both are running 10.6.4 Snow Leopard SL. No Windows machines on the LAN - so this should be AFP only.
    We can see and connect to another Mac running 10.4.11 Tiger with no problem. BUT it is unable to connect to either 10.6.4 machine.
    Firewall on both machines: On; File Sharing (AFP) set to “Allow incoming connections”; Stealth mode Enabled (toggling doesn’t change); “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” is Off; “Block all incoming connections” is Off. Some other apps and services are set to Block… (krb5kdc, numbed, smbd…) AppleFileServer is set to Allow.
    Sharing: File Sharing Service only is On:
    Hard Drive - Everyone - Read & Write
    Users - Everyone - Read Only
    ~ (My Home Directory) - Everyone - Read Only
    Public - Everyone - Read & Write
    Drop Box - Everyone - Write only
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    It isn't directly related to the firewall, I'm having the same problem between two up to date machines, and to be sure, I have disabled the firewall on both. however, If i connect using the connect to server dialogue, I get through just fine. I believe it could be a dns resolution problem.
    strike that.
    Just tested, check in advanced network settings, and if you have any wins servers listed, remove them.
    krb5kdc needs to be allowed to accept connections, for me it popped up in little snitch when it was authenticating.

  • Does the DVR/STB have to be on the LAN for In-Home Agent to work?

    I'm a brand new user and am trying to learn the the new features that Fios brings to the party.  When my install was done I asked that the wireless feature be disabled on the router (I have a good wired network for my PCs and they were all connected to the supplied router).  All of my services work (TV, Ph, Internet) but I just noticed that when I go to In-Home Agent, the only selectable option is that for Internet.  I have a sneaky suspicion that the DVR/STB are controlled over the network.
    Can I connect the DVR to my wired network (Ethernet connection) and get the In-Home Agent functionality back?

    Verizon boxes communicate with the LAN via MoCA.  This is done over the coaxial cable.  If you have guide information then that is working properly.  Youy don't need wireless and the RJ-45 on the back of the STB is not active, so "hooking up" to your wired network would do no good.

  • How do you setup a canon mp620 to print from a Macbook Pro?

    How can i print from my MacBook Pro with a canon mp620 printer? I have the printer setup with a PC via USB and want to add the MacBook as a new computer and print wirelessly. I have tried the installation cd and updated drivers from canon website but it still wont work.

    I have managed to get my working. Firstly, I googled the CUPS drivers for the printer and then downloaded those from canons website. I then went to print and scan in system preferences and noticed that the printer had appeared there. I believe it was those drivers that made the difference but i was fiddling for hours before that so i cant be 100% sure how i got it to work.

  • How can I get my wired LAN to share my iMac's wireless internet connection

    Hi. (sorry for the long-winded posting below. I really struggled to explain what I'm trying to do, but would really appreciate any help from people who can recognise what I'm aiming for!)
    I've seen several postings about sharing internet connection, but none (I think) which sort my problem.
    I have a wired LAN with 3 Macs connected to a router, and the router to a cable modem and the internet. All working fine. All Macs have internet access.
    I'm considering ditching my broadband provider, and so looking for a replacement configuration, at least for the short term.
    So, I'd like to change the arrangement, connecting one of the Macs to the internet (through a local free WIFI hotspot) using it's airport card (that bit is done) and enable the other two Macs to share that connection via the router.
    I've turned internet sharing on, and share connection from Built-In ethernet, on the internet connected Mac. But whatever
    Has anyone got this setup working?
    PB
    Intel iMac 4,1 (early 2006)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1Gb SDRAM, 2GHz

    You can share a connection through the router or you can share a connection from the Mac via Internet Sharing, but you can't share an already shared connection.

  • My Canon MP620 just stopped printing text: it can print photos etc but when I send a word document (with a picture) it only prints the picture. Any ideas?

    Hi Everyone:
    I have a  Canon MP620 printer connected directly into my Airport base station. So far it has worked perfectly - I can print any type of document over the network from my MacBook Pro.
    Yesterday something weird happened. I have a resumé (as a word document) I was always printing but this time all that was printed was a photo and no text. I did a print preview and it looked fine. I converted to PDF and nothing was printed. I then created a brand new word document and again nothing was printed. I have no problem with images but for some strange reason no text  can be printed. All that happens is that the paper goes through and comes out blank.
    Any ideas?????
    Thanks a lot in advace!

    Hi,
    Tried all the cleaning programmes and it still will not print...I am lost.

  • Wired-LAN B&W G3 no longer "seen" by Airport network

    For the past 5+ years I've had my old B&W G3 connected to my Airport Extreme via its wired LAN port. It was always accessible  from my G5 and just worked flawlessly. Last winter my G5 died & I was forced to use the G3 & therefore had to disconnect it from the AE and use it directly.
    Well, now I can't get my G5 to "see" the G3 via AE anymore. I hooked up everything as it was before but can't seem to get the network to "see" the G3. As I said it's been 5+ years since I did this initially so if anyone can think of something I missed I would surely appreciate the insight.
    FWIW as best as I recall, I initially just connected the B&W G3 to the AE's Ethernet LAN port, went to the Finder and selected Network & the G3 showed up. After typing my password I was able to access the G3. I remember thinking at the time "wow, that was easy!
    This is not an internet connection related problem.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello Tesserax
    That did it.

  • Canon MP620 print driver does not work with Snow Leopard

    Bought a Macbook & bundled Canon MP620 printer in Dec 08. Two days ago upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I can no longer print (the printer is not recognized), it only sees "Bonjour scanner" (the printer is a multi-function printer, copier, fax, scanner). Spent more than two hours with two different Apple tech support people over the phone; talked to Apple personnel in store. My printer is connected via Ethernet cable to a wireless modem, and I connect to the wireless modem via Airport. The phone tech person insisted that this printer is supported by Snow Leopard, but we reloaded the print driver from the Snow Leopard installation disk with no results. Finally my last resort, which worked, is to go to Radio Shack and get a cable that has a USB-A (printer) to USB-B (Mac) attachment. I was able to print. It is unacceptable for Apple to have this problem, as I went into the store four different times to discuss whether I should upgrade to Snow Leopard, and was told on every occasion that Snow Leopard will make everything run faster, more smoothy, etc. NOT! I want Apple to post a notice on their web site to a) confirm their print driver problems with Snow Leopard and b) to confirm WHEN new print drivers will be released.

    Have a look at my last posting re Canon network printing.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2128186&tstart=0&messageID=100 97438#10097438
    i got my MP980 working via Ethernet and wireless. The same procedure should work for your MP620.
