It might be possible that the file or installer you are trying to use is incomplete or corrupt. I would not use the CD, as its files might be old or outdated. Since you mention "Scan Utility", I'll assume you are running windows?Īre you installing from the included CD or a file downloaded from your printer's product page?
#CANON PRINTER UTILITY SUCKS INSTALL#
This might include the ability to install its software. Whether real or imagined by the printer, if it believes there is a problem, you may need to resolve it before the printer or scanner will operation properly. If I do, it won’t be a Canon.New printer. This machine is getting on my nerves, with repeated and endless calls to tech support, and and I’m tempted to take it to the garbage and getting a new one. Fortunately I don’t often need to use a printerĪnd my neighbour has kindly printed a few pages for me from time to time. This printer doesn’t work and hasn’t worked ever since I got it last June. Yes, that’s what I did with the help of tech support, following their instructions to the letter. You’ll do that from the panel on the printer”. “Be sure you’re telling it that you are using USB and not WiFi or wired LAN.

Canon helped me set it up for a usb connection. “Your printer can connect directly to your Mac via USB as you’re looking to do”: theoretically, yes. And I’ve been through the disconnect-reconnect routine several times with them. But the cable I do have has worked about 6 or 7 times, when tech support have guided me on the phone, although this hasn’t worked recently. “I’d try another cable”: I don’t have one. Yes, I’ve tried that several times with Canon tech support.It doesn’t work: System Preferences just says “no printer is available”. You say “If it were me: I’d disconnect the USB cable from both ends and then reconnect it”. Control-click in the list of printers (outlined in red below).Go to the Print & Scan preference pane ( Apple menu/System Preferences).
#CANON PRINTER UTILITY SUCKS SOFTWARE#
The thing to do next is to “reset the printing system.” That gives you a fresh start, and in my experience, resetting the printing system ALWAYS solves the problem, allowing the printer software to be downloaded successfully from Apple. Never, that is, unless you know what to do next. Usually the failure happens when getting the software from Apple: everything seems to be proceeding apace when all of a sudden, during the download, a message pops up saying something about the software not being available, and to “Please try again later.” Try later all you want, but once you see that message it is NEVER going to work.

#CANON PRINTER UTILITY SUCKS FOR MAC#
Apple long ago tired of waiting for printer manufacturers to provide software compatible with each new version of OS X, so they started doing it themselves, and on the whole this has been a good thing for Mac users. Rather, the instructions say, get the software from Apple, and indeed that is excellent advice. Many printers from Epson, Canon and Hewlett-Packard come with instructions to NOT install the software that comes with them on CDs.
