My MacPro just installed OSX Mavericks Update 10.9.4. At the same time the Canon 3.0 Inkjet Printer Software Update was downloaded. Result: my Mac will no longer connect to my Pixma MG6150 via wifi. This happened once before with an earlier update. Can anyone help me to solve this problem as I need to be able to print via wifi!
Canon sometimes distributes drivers on its website that are newer than the ones distributed by Apple. Check. Otherwise, see below.
No updated drivers by Canon. When I reset the printing system and wanted to add the printer it did not show up in the window at all......
How did you solve the problem the last time?
I had been traveling for several months. When I got back and attempted to add the printer (I had also previously reset the printing system preferences and then wasn't able to add the printer), it showed right up. This worked until yesterday when I updated to 10.9.4 and, in the same update package, got Canon driver 3.0.....Now the printer does not show up. I suspect that the previous time Apple fixed the problem with another automatic update....wonder if this is going to happen each time there is a Mavericks update. Don't even want to think about what's going to happen when they introduce Yosemite......
Does the printer indicate that it's connected to the network? Can you add it when connected via USB?
yes, when connected via USB the printer shows up automatically. But Mac won't recognize it on wifi.....
That doesn't tell me whether the printer shows itself connected to the network. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to print the status page.
The printer IS connected to the network. Has been the entire time and things worked perfectly fine -- until the Mavericks software update.....
You can download and run the free application Bonjour Browser. It will show whether the printer is detectable on the network. The printer should show up in one or more of the following categories:
I have the same problem.. I use a Cannon LBP6000 printer.. I already did reset ,reinstall, restart, etc. still can not print. does anyone has found a solution?
