10.6: Install Canon printer drivers in Snow Leopard
Not 10.6 specific, but just for the archives. Especially for those installing a wireless printer but facing an empty list for "Canon IJ Network", here's what I've written down after installation of a PIXMA iP4000R on 10.5 Leopard, a long time ago:
Given the notes I wrote down about the cd not being usable, I might have downloaded some new software then. But maybe all that is needed is already included (see also (Can anyone confirm that no cd, nor downloads, nor setup program are required for Mac OS X Leopard, and maybe not for Snow Leopard either?)
10.6: Use LPD with Gutenprint for network Canon printers in Snow Leopard
Hmmm, I actually posted my old 10.5 notes on the iP4000R while I didn't know yet that Snow Leopard would also remove existing printers... :-( Yet another, though slow, workaround to set up the iP4000R as a network printer, inspired by the web interface of the printer that has an option to enable/disable RAW Port (9100) and LPD:
The Gutenprint driver supports duplex, and all paper sources including the printable cd tray. It doesn't give me the Printer Utilities (hardly ever used them) nor the supply levels (Leopard didn't either). It's terribly slow though, but I did not investigate that yet... Note: using the old Canon software, like described in the original hint, may very well be a better idea! |
