I selected it, printed the test page and life was good.The official marketing text of Canon PIXMA MP210 Inkjet A4 4800 x 1200 DPI 22 ppm as supplied by the manufacturer
In my case, it automatically detected the need for a Canon printer driver (the correct one at that). Install the Bonjour software from Apple:Ħ. Get the correct Windows driver from the Canon Web site and install on the Windows machine.ĥ. Double check the correct driver is being used, by selecting the newly created printer object (MX310 in my case), select Options & Supplies., and under the General tab, make sure the driver version is that of the CUPS (in the case of the above link, it will be 10.1.2.0)Ĥ. When creating this object, under the "Print Using" drop down, I have an option for Canon MX310 Series and Canon IJ printer - I chose Canon IJ Printer.ģ. I had to recreate the printer object using the new driver. On the Mac, install the CUPS drivers and restart.Ģ. Of note, I'm using the MP310 rather than the MP210ġ. Prior to my troubleshooting, I was using the non-CUPS drivers (v 6.9.3) and couldn't get it work, even while following Jason's directions. The only thing I can add to his post, is to make sure that you are using the CUPS drivers from Canon (v 10.1.2.0):
Thank you for the suggestion as it worked for me. I don't think this part really mattered in the end.ģ) Let the setup reboot my Windows machine.Ĥ) Downloaded the latest MP470 print driver (from the same Canon page), and installed it on my iMac.Ħ) Enable file sharing with SMB, and printer sharing on my iMac.ħ) On the Windows machine browsed directly to \\iMac and double clicked the shared printer on the iMac.Ĩ) Said OK to the warnings about using the print drivers from the Mac, but then it turns around and told me it could not find the drivers.ĩ) Clicked the "Have disk" option and scrolled down to Canon, and there at the top was the MP470 driver (I'm sure because I installed it already).įounder - Green Gadgets (go go green gadgets!) Here's what worked for me, I hope it helps!ġ) Downloaded the latest MP470 print driver on my Windows XP machine and installed it.Ģ) When setup got to the point it said to plug in my printer and let the setup search for it, I clicked the manual option, and pointed to the bonjour "internet" port. I had this exact washout issue, and finally got it resolved for myself.
