[CGUYS] Mac Printer problem
I've been having a problem using a printer on a network. The printer, a Canon ip6600, is connected to a Macbook Pro running 10.5 and the other Macs running 10.4, see that printer in Print and Fax in System Preferences. The Macbook runs the printer normally and is set to share the printer, but the other Wi-Fi connected Macs will not print anything. When I try I get a spinning beachball, and the app I'm trying to print from has to be force quit. It seems like there must be some setting that is screwed up or that I've forgotten. I haven't had trouble before. The only thing that is different is a new D-Link router. Any ideas?

OK, I downloaded and installed a new driver from Canon on one of the computers and at least it's talking directly to the printer and printing. But the one my wife uses would not even run her text editing programs after trying to print from them and having to force quit them. She won't let me tinker with it right now, so I'll have to find out later if those apps will straighten out. The printing problem first appeared when she tried to print from Appleworks. (yes I know it's an antique, but she won't switch) But then I could not get it to print from Bean either. When I tried to add the printer in Print and Fax, I could see at the bottom of that utility that it wanted me to select a driver, but since I had printed from that computer to this printer before, I didn't understand why I had to select a driver.

OK, installing the new driver fixed everything. I still don't understand why it needed a new driver. Thanks for all your help! * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
