I just installed Panther over the weekend and I'm having trouble with windows printing. I have a Canon i450, so the Generic Postscript Printing driver was selected as the default, since the i450 is not included in Panther. Whenever I print, my PC recceives the job and sends it to the printer. The light on my printer flashes, as if it were printing but nothing comes out. When I check my PC, the printing status shows it as complete.

However, if I were to select a different printer driver from the Canon menu (instead of the generic), the printer prints the page but it does not look how it's suppose to. As a side note, the i450 works fine when pluged into the powerbook.

I've tried installing the Canon print drivers off the 2nd Panter disk, Installing new printing drivers on both my PC and Mac, and Contacting Apple Care. Nothing has helped. Does anyone know how to fix this or how I can choose the i450 drivers in the others menu?

Thanks in advance
