I just recieved my 12" 1ghz PB and I am trying to get it to recognize my new i250 Canon printer. I'm running the most current version of Panther (10.3.2). I've installed drivers from the Panther Installation cd, the cd that came with the printer, and the driver's from Canon's website...

Each time I have gone through the restart process and each time it says in Printer Setup Assistant that there are no drives installed.

What do i do? I need my printer desperately!!

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks

Try this; it worked for me.


Getting the Canon i250 to work under Panther:

1. Delete all instances of ‘Canon’ off your computer (Go to the Finder,
press APPLE and F together and do a search).

2. Download the driver from the ‘Support’ section of Canon’s website,
install it and restart.

3. Rename:
[hard drive name/Library/printers/Canon/BJPrinter/PMs/Canon190PM.plugin

to

[hard drive name/Library/printers/Canon/BJPrinter/PMs/190PM.plugin

4. Now go to Printer Setup in Applications/Utilities and click ‘Add’

If you have another Canon 'i' model where your Mac is recognizing the
printer but not the driver, I suggest you also try adapting the above,
i.e.:
deleting the last instance of 'Canon' from the plugin filename.
