Canon MP540 printer configuration for mac os

[GabrieL]

Hello,

I just bought a Canon MP540. The installation went well but unable to print! "Printer Setup" does not work anymore. "Help Viewer" Hangs as soon it starts, I tried using Pacifist to reinstall the Help files without success.Does anyone have an idea? I also reinstalled using Pacifist 'Printer Setup Utility' but I can not print

thank you for your help

(it is sometimes necessary to repeat 3 times)

Method No. 1
To boot into "single-user mode:
1) Restart the computer (by pressing the reset button if necessary).
2) Immediately after the startup sound, simultaneously press the Apple key and "S" ... A series of text lines on the screen ... Release the keys .... And you get to a line ending with the famous above-mentioned symbol (#).
Bravo! You are then single-user mode! You will now finally able to run fsck 1. Simply type this after the # symbol: fsck-y (if your partition is not logged) or fsck-f (if your partition is logged) and the "send" (the large button with the arrow that is half - tour, called "carriage return").
NB: Leave a space between "k" of fsck and the "-" below!
2) Let's go for a test series and "turn of the screw." If repairs are needed, you will have this message:

***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****

In this case retype fsck-y (or fsck-f) until the message appears more!
and repeat three time
3. When fsck tells you that everything is ok, there are no more problems after three times, then type this after the # symbol: reboot
4. the "carriage return" (sending). The computer restarts !!!!.

NB: Be careful! When you are "single-user mode, your computer keyboard is no longer AZERTYUIOP but QWERTY is to typing fsck-f -y/fsck, use the right keys!! Use the "-" (minus) on the numeric keypad.
To help, here's what has a QWERTY keyboard

Put simply, this is not the dash button, but just to his left, close the parenthesis

Warning!
Well type fsck-y and not y = fsck because your keyboard is "qwerty" rather than "azerty" in "user" (use "-" key on the numeric keypad!)

NB: The command fsck-y does not work unless you disable journaling.
If logging is enabled, then type fsck-f instead of fsck-y!
