10.6: Install Canon printer drivers in Snow Leopard

Because the Canon printer driver installation program will not recognize Mac OS X 10.6, you can't install your printer drivers even though Snow Leopard is a minor update.
To install your Canon printer drivers...
- Download the driver disk image.
- Mount the disk image and copy the installer package to your desktop.
- Control-click on the package and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.
- Navigate to Contents » Resources and delete the file InstallationCheck.
- Now double-click the package and install the drivers normally.
[robg adds: I'm not sure if future Canon updates in 10.6 will be included in Software Update or not -- that is one of the supposed features of Snow Leopard, but I'm not sure exactly how it will all work.]
