Following is a procedure for adding a Windows printer via SAMBA.ġ. The best way is to include this account name into the smb path.
Sp2 for XP caused some problems with Workgroup sharing and guest accounts, so I would ensure you use an account that exists on the PC for the Mac to use. The other thing to watch with Windows shared printers is the service packs. Names with underscores have given me grief previously. I would select the S800, as it has proven to be more reliable than any of the iP drivers.īefore you add the driver however, I would change the share name on the PC to a single word, such as iP1000. Delete the current printer, and add it again, this time using the Gutenprint drivers. Instead of using the provided GIMP-Print drivers, download Gutenprint 5.0.1 from Sourceforge.
Canon s800 printer driver for mac drivers#
So thankfully the open-source community has provided a number of drivers that do work in this manner, as you have found.Īs for issue 2, the driver you have chosen to print to the Windows share can cause printing problems. With regards to issue 1, what you have found is the case for many Mac drivers, in as far as they have not been written to work in cross-platform network connections. Thank you for any help anyone may able to provide me. It stays there for 20 minutes or so then disappates. When I hit print to the windows printer in OS X (printing a simple word document) the job shows up in the windows printer cue, (as +remote downlevel document+) however it does not print. The printer set up fine (I tried both the gimp beta 5, and generic drivers) minus the missing canon ip1000 driver from the list. I set up the printer in OS X according to the support website, and it showed up in the print setup utility under my networked windows PC. I have also set up admin tools -> services -> TCIP print server and restarted all printspooler services I have it set up for sharing, and all the names are underscore, with no other characters. *Issue 2.* I have a printer (Cannon PIXMA IP1000) connected to my windows PC. I'm instead using the 'generic' driver which could be part of the issue 2 i'm facing (see bellow)
Canon s800 printer driver for mac install#
And when I download and install the factory driver from cannon, the printer model list does not seem to update with the new driver. *Issue 1.* When I set up a new printer in OS X using the printer set up utitlity, I cannot find my printer model listed. The printer in question: *Canon PIXMA iP1000* I am new to the unix platform, so please excuse any ignorance I may have towards networking between macs/pcs. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and hopefully help me solve a few issues I have with printing in OS X.
