Canon LBP series CAPT printer driver available
Quite a few people keep asking how to Printer Share this Printer.
Here are the extensive step by step instructions. Here is the technique (that i used) with my LBP3000 but it should also work with the following supported models with this software: 1110/1120/1210/2410/3200/3210/3300/3500/3600/5000/5200 Step 1 (on your Print Server Mac) Install the software on your desired print server Mac. (i'm using a G4 cube with 10.4.8). Reboot after installation. Software is available at: http://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/lasershot/mac/mxcapt160.dmg.gz Step 2 Turn ON the Printer, Connect to Mac via the USB port/cable Step 3 Go to Printer Setup Utility (located /Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility) and click the "add printer" icon in the toolbar. This will display the "Printer Browser" Step 4 Select the LBP3000 (USB) from the list. If it doesn't appear, disconnect USB cable and reconnect. Failing that, turn the Printer OFF/ON. Step 5 The pop-up menu at the bottom, titled: "print using" should automatically select "CAPT Driver". Click the "add" button. There is nothing manual to select here. It either appears if software installation was successful. It it doesn't appear, re-install. Go back to Step 1. Step 6 Verify that your new USB connected printer is working. Do a test print from the Printer Server that is physically connected to the printer. Step 7 Enable Printer Sharing, System Prefs > Sharing > Tick/enable Printer Sharing. Step 8 (on your Mac) Install the same software on your client (non print server) Mac as in Step 1, (the software forces a restart, so save your work first) Step 9 Go to Printer Setup Utility (located /Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility) and click the "add printer" icon in the toolbar. This will display the "Printer Browser" Step 10 Select the LBP3000 (Shared Printer) from the list. If it doesn't appear, check that your Print Server Mac can still see/connect to the printer (refer Step 4) Step 11 The pop-up menu at the bottom, titled: "print using" should automatically select "LBP3000". Click the "add" button. There is nothing manual to select here. It either appears if software installation was successful. It it doesn't appear, re-install. Go back to Step 8. Notes: [a] My server (10.4.8) uses "CAPT Printer" and My own Mac (10.4.10) uses "LBP3000" so i can only guess that the names changes with different Mac OS X versions. [b] If the Print using pop-up menu does not automatically select CAPT Printer or LBP3000, You will need to make sure the software was correctly installed. You can verify that it exists at this location (top level, not users Library). /Library/Printers/Canon/CAPT/Profile/Device/LBP3000 If it doesn't appear, you will need to reinstall. [c] I have not tested this with Leopard (10.5). If you have and it's working, please let me know. Other printer models made by Canon also exist here: http://www.canon-sales.co.jp/e-support/qasearch/answer/lasershotprinters/q054108342605.html PS: i don't work for Canon, i can't read Japanese, and i don't know how to do this on a windows PC. all i know is written above :) Goodluck! ---

Hello all. I'm currently in Japan using OSX 10.5 on a MacBook.

Sorry to reply to my own post, but i just got it working in XP under Parallels, and was able to register the paper size just fine, but this did not fix the problem in OSX. It still complains about incorrect paper. |
