Wireless connection to canon ip4300

How do i connect my macbook pro to ip4300 without a cable?

Have you tried resetting the printing system?
Not sure what version of OSX you are running but try this:
System Preferences>Print & Fax (10.6) or Print & Scan (10.7), Control+Click or right click on one of the printers on the left of the window, or if there aren't any printers, in the white space and select "Reset printing system...'. All printers will be deleted and added again. Sometimes helps fix printing problems.

I wirelessly connected a canon airprint to my iphone but can't get it to print landscape only portrait

first time using this site. Question per above is successfully connected a canon airprint with my network and iphone. Have successfully printed portrait style but can't figure how to print a landscape.
Thanks

Ringtones (along with audiobooks) are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you want it on your iPad then you will need to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (it shoudl copy over to the Tones part of your iTunes library), and you can then sync it to your iPad

Re: Wireless connection between Canon Pixma MG5250...

I have purchased a Canon Pixma MG5250 printer that should allow a wifi connection. However, I am unable to connect it to the BT Home Hub 2 that provides me with the wifi connection in the house. When I use the Easy Set-up procedure on the printer, I put in the access point code (which provides access to the Home Hub from the various computers in the house) and I then find myself faced with a message which reads "Failed to connect to the access point. Check the access point settings and try again."
I have tried the Advanced set-up option that allows for differing options - WEP, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES) - feeding in the access code but I am faced with the same message.
What to do please, anyone?

I have just looked at the BT help page for the HH2, and it does not seem to show an option for WPA only. It is present on the HH3.
Take a look here and see if there is an option they are not showing.
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/38137
Otherwise just leave the printer on WPA, and it should work.
Double check that your wireless key is being entered correctly.

Wireless connection between Canon Pixma MG5250 pri...

I have just bought a Canon printer. I get so far with the connection and then it stops, leaving a message - "check the access point"!! I am assuming this is the hub, but cannot find anything in the BT manual to help - fine if it is a pc you are trying to connect. The only website name it gives for other devices has been suspended. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi LindyLou11,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. It should be possible to connect the printer. If you haven't already got it sorted can you post up any error messages your seeing. Could you post a screen print and any other information. I'm sure we can help with this.
Cheers

Trying to wirelessly connect Macbook pro to Canon MX340 printer

I am really not computer-minded at all, which is why I love my Mac. It just does it for me. Back in November, somehow I wirelessly connected my Macbook pro to our Canon MX 340 printer. We have moved and now I can't get it to work. When I go into printer settings on my macbook pro, it lists the printer, but says it is "offline." The printer is currently hardwired to my husband's HP desktop. The only troubleshooting skill I have is to turn off the printer and turn it back on, and hope somehow that makes it work. I have no idea what to do. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Take a look at McTiVia.
Another possibility, Veebeam.

How do I connect wirelessly from my Canon SX700HS to my iPhone5s?

I can not get my iphone to connect wirelessly to the Canon SX700HS. I am able to see the Canon SX700 in the wifi section of my iPhone and I am able to select it. When I open the EOS Remote application and select Camera Connection, I see the camera showing up at the bottom of the window as a WiFi Connection, but it does not show up as a detected camera at the top of the window screen. Is there a setting I need to change? Please help. Do I need to enter the SSDI info on my iPhone 5s? If yes, Where do I enter this informtion?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Late last night, and pretty painlessly, I managed to pair my new Powershot SX600 HS with my ("old") iPhone 4s.
I think obviously you did download the 2 applicable Canon software apps onto your phone.
Right now, I'm in a bit of a fog, but wanted to share this with you. I was helped by the Canon user manual info at this link, in the "Wireless" section somewhere around p. 89:
http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/8/0300013588/02/pssx600hs-cu2-en.pdf
Canon wireless pairing to a windowsphone is another story entirely.

Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
"I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
"MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
"The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter
Even Windows people have trouble:
"I NEED INTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONNECT MY HP LAPTOP TO THE CANON MX860 PRINTER."
"I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
And, unhappy Vista person:
"I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

Canon Printers - Wireless Connection?

Many thanks for recent advice but still having probs (ie wireless connection does not work) as indeed I notice a fair few are.
The Manual refers to setting the WEP key to match the iMac's system now how can I access the iMac's WEP? Do I need to do something about the security settings?
Grateful for advice folks. Thanks.

Is that something you are being asked for in the operation panel on the printer? In my experience, when you setup Wi-Fi through the little screen on the printer, you select your Wi-Fi network and then enter the password.
In the Canon website, they have steps for the Canon Pixma MG3150, and it says to enter the Wi-Fi settings on the operational panel in step 2: http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctio nals/InkJet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG3150.aspx?faqtcmuri=tcm:13-813328&type=faq
There is also this article that relates to your version of the OS and your printer brand:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3575
The steps say to temporarily connect your printer so the drivers install, and when they are installed, you can disconnect the printer. The printer will still be added in the System Preferences>Print and Fax panel when you connect it using the USB port, but you will have to remove it by highlighting it and pressing the minus sign (when it is added by connecting the USB port, it is looking for a USB connected printer. We just want to connect it to have the drivers download).
Once those are installed and your printer is connected to your Wi-Fi network (by entering the settings in the operational screen), you should be able to then add it as a network printer by clicking the plus sign at the bottom left of the System Preferences>Print and Fax window.
I hope that helps!

Can print to shared Canon iP4300 via Bonjour - but not with Canon driver

I've searched the forums and therefore know roughly what the problem is, but still need some concrete info please...
Have finally managed to share my Canon iP4300 connected to iMac (10.5.2) via USB and print to it from XP, using Bonjour for Windows. However... when I run the printer assisntent it finds the printer but only offers me the choice of a generic driver. The driver turns out to be labelled "HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS". A postscript driver?!? Well, it works, but I'd really prefer the proper Canon driver (which is already installed - I previously had the printer connected to the PC).
Yet, when I select this driver retrospectively (from the printer-share properties dialogue), I cant print. This, if I understand correctly is because the Canon driver doesn't support Bonjour?
So is there anything I can do? Eg. I've read about the Gimp drivers, but they're only for OSX right?
Maybe this generic "HP" driver will be adequate (haven't printed anything properly yet) but would like to know if anybody has suggestions other than contacting Canon (which I will do anyway).
Cheers

I Have the same Problem as you,
I Have the Canon MP180, and i have the driver on my windows XP Laptop
But when i try to connect to it, using Bonjour (as the printer is connected to the mac) it uses a HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS driver even though its Canon
Does anyone know how to use the proper driver.
It works ok using the HP Driver, but the quality of the printouts from the windows XP laptop seem rubbish
Many Thanks
Alex
P.S if you got this working, can you send me a message back.

Being new to working with Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to the Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll? My husband had gotten this printer and the sales person said that it can be set up wirelessly to my Mac Book Pro

Being new to working with a Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me step, by step on how to set up my Mac Book Pro(Mid 2012) wirelessly to a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll that my husband had gotten me? Sales person told him that it's compatiable to my Mac Book Pro, Mtn Lion, but I do not see it and I don't see how to do it wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;o)

Hello:
There is nothing wrong with asking questions. There are no dumb questions....answers, yes, but not questions.
If you set up your wi-fi router to establish a network, then both your printer and MacBook Pro will connect wirelessly. *** I do not know what kind of router you possess, I don't want to suggest things that might not be relevant.

HP Officejet 6500A Plus will not maintain wireless connection reliably

For the HP EXPERTS on Expert Day, April 18, 2012:
B.L.A.T. (Bottom Line At Top): We have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus purchased about 5 months ago. We wanted to use it as a wireless-connected printer in another room besides our home office. It is useless to us because it will not maintain its wireless connection, even sitting just a few feet from the router in the same room. Except for numerous hours of troubleshooting, we have left it sitting powered up, but unused and idle, for almost the entire 5 months in our home office. DURING ALL THAT IDLE TIME, IT HAS LOGGED OVER 3,200 DISCONNECTS, at a consistent rate of 24 disconnects every 24 hours, even though it ALWAYS reports that the wireless signal quality is “EXCELLENT” (all this is according to the Wireless Network Test Reports we’ve printed throughout the last 5 months). So our question is, what is it that this printer is trying to do once an hour over a wireless connection that is causing these thousands of disconnects? And how can we stop it?
NOTE! Before you round up the usual suspects (namely our router and our PC firewalls) please note that we also bought an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus ON THE SAME DAY as the Officejet 6500A Plus. The 8600 was also installed with a wireless connection, and has worked without a single network issue for the entire 5 months.
NOW, FOR THE REST OF THE STORY…
WHO WE ARE: My wife and I have worked on HP equipment for 33 years, starting in 1979 as corporate customers of HP when we worked for Exxon; then we both worked for HP directly for 17 years; and we’ve now used dozens of pieces of HP equipment in our home during the last 12 years in retirement. We’re primarily software folks, so we’re not exactly experts in hardware and networking, but on the other hand, this ain’t our first rodeo either.
OUR CONFIGURATION:
PC’s – All running Windows 7 x64 with all important patches applied and Norton Internet Security 2012: HPE-270f and HP AIO 200-Quad, each with full 6500A and 8600A drivers installed on wireless connection. These 2 PC’s themselves can connect either wirelessly or via Ethernet to our home network. The 270f has a dual-band wireless board. Both bands work. We also have a new dv7t laptop with only the full 6500A driver installed via wireless connection. The laptop is now upstairs and it’s connected to our home network wirelessly without any issues. (This is where we had hoped to also put the 6500A, but it needs to work reliably via wireless connection.)
ROUTER: Netgear N600 WNDR3700 providing Ethernet and wireless networking. Router provides a very strong wireless signal throughout the house. No wireless problems with any other equipment including an iPod, two Kindle Fires besides all the HP equipment.
PRINTERS: Besides the two HP printers, the HPE-270f PC has a Canon MP960 installed on it. And if we can’t get the 6500A working right or replaced with something that does work right, we may be buying our second Canon printer. By the way, on the 6500A, ePrint and App’s are set to ON, but of course they’re not being used, just like everything else on this AIO.
OTHER: We also have a Sonos music system that connects to our network via Ethernet and has its own proprietary mesh network (on another frequency) for transmitting ripped music wirelessly to speaker units throughout our house. (If you aren’t familiar with this totally cool system, check out sonos.com). We’ve never seen any evidence of interference between these two wireless networks, or our wireless phone sets either.
HP TOOLS AVAILABLE ON ALL 3 PC’s: HPU
UPDATE 5.003.001.001 (reporting everything up-to-date); HPHDU 3.1.0.17; HPPDU 5.0.0.015 and HPNDU 4.3.0.002.
SYMPTOMS: The 6500A Plus installs quickly and easliy, and connects wirelessly just fine during installation. But sometime over the next hour (usually less), it disconnects and won’t print from PC applications. Sometimes the application puts up an “Unable to communicate with printer” screen, even though the PC usually thinks the printer is “ready”. Other times, the PC thinks the printer is offline (but printers don’t have “offline” buttons anymore!). Often, if you just leave everything alone, the 6500A will somehow reconnect and print out the spooled file 5-30 MINUTES later. So it does usually seem to be able to recover given some time, but that doesn’t always fit our schedule! Occasionally, turning the wireless radio on the printer off and back on will fix it right away. But usually, you have to power the printer completely off, and then back on. As far as we know, that always fixes it…..until the next disconnect a few minutes later!
PREVIOUSLY TRIED: After reading some of HP’s wireless network support websites, I manually assigned a fixed IP address to this printer. It didn’t seem to matter; according to the wireless network test report, it still logs disconnects at the rate of one per hour, and all the failure symptoms were the same.
We also dabbled a bit with setting this printer as “trusted” to the Firewall, but that didn’t seem to matter either.
Next, we connected the printer via Ethernet. The printer immediately started to work, even though it had just been in its “failed” state over the wireless connection. As far as we know, it never failed while connected via Ethernet. This seems to point to a purely wireless hardware/firmware problem on the printer itself.
Late last year, I tried two different chat sessions about this with the inter-continental AIO support teams, each one lasting several hours. Unfortunately, none of their optimistic solution scripts seemed to fit our problem. They both seemed determined to reconfigure the 6500A as a TCP/IP printer, which of course worked fine initially, just like everything else. At this point, they would understandably want to close the chat. But 20-30 minutes later, we could no longer print to it. During the second chat, they got into one of our PC’s remotely and effectively turned off the spooler (by selecting “Print Directly” or something like that). After that, all was well again (as usual) UNTIL the printer disconnected, at which time attempting to print from that PC would HANG the application (since the spooler was no longer buffering) and eventually hang the whole PC. One giant leap backwards. That’s when I gave up on the multi-hour chat sessions.
The three diagnostic utilities (HDU, PDU, NDU) have been tried over and over. When the printer is in its disconnected state, the DU’s usually don’t detect the 6500A at all, or if they do detect it, they are unable to fix anything. Frankly, it’s easier to just power the printer off (which takes about a minute) and power the printer back on (which takes more than a minute) and then wait for the spooler to kick in (usually about 30 seconds). BUT WE DON’T CONSIDER THAT A SOLUTION!!
B.L.A.B. (Bottom Line At Bottom): We have used up nearly the entire black ink cartridge and at least a ream of paper troubleshooting this brand new printer, to no avail. This printer is useless to us unless it can maintain a wireless connection reliably. Please help!
Thanks –
Bob and Jane

I bought the Officejet 6500A Plus about one month and have experienced the very same problem. I tried to remedy this problem following suggestions in a number of different posts (static IP, router, firewalls etc), all to no avail. Last week I called support. The support I received by the tech over several hours and different days for a week was very good. However none of his suggestions corrected the connection issue. After today's recommended fix failed, he advised HP is aware of this issue with the 6500 and other affected printers. He claimed HP was working on a firmware upgrade. He did not know when the update would be provided. The tech also claimed HP acknowledged this problem in a written announcement. He agreed to email the announcement to me. I haven't received it. This has been the only problem I've had with the 6500

How to wirelessly connect MG3120 to macbook pro

How to wirelessly connect canon MG3120 to macbook pro OSX?

If the printer is Wi-Fi capable, you have to get it on your home Network.
It needs to know the network_name and Wi-Fi password, and these need to be entered directly into the control panel on the Printer.
Once it has joined your network, it will show up under Add-a-Printer.

Canon ip4300: suddenly no duplex printing

I have a Powerbook G4 15in running 10.5.8 (the latest OS this non-Intel machine will run) and a desktop iMac 24in which I've recently upped to 10.6.4 from 10.5.x. The iMac is linked via a cable to a Canon ip4300 inkjet, and the Powerbook prints to that wirelessly via sharing on the iMac.
Since upping the iMac to 10.6, when I've tried to print duplex pages from the Powerbook, it nonetheless insisted on printing single pages, despite the settings. Must be the driver needs updating, I thought. So I downloaded the latest 5.83 driver from the Canon site, to the Powerbook, and installed it. Now I don't even get a duplex option in the print dialog on the Powerbook!
Can anyone help?

I'm pleased to say Pahu kindly put me right on this, in the 10.6 section (the question covered 10.5 and 10.6, so I posted in both sections). See...
