Mac newbie here, having problems getting my printer to work. I have I Mac running OSx 10.7 and a Canon Pixma MG5150 which is plugged via usb directly. I have loaded the cd rom and run the install as required, however when I go to print an scan in systems preferences I cannot see the printer. I have tried resetting the printer list but this also proves fruitless. Rapidly going grey having searched pretty much every forum to no avail. Thanks in advance |

Try adding the printer to your Mac via the Print & Scan prefs pane. Click the '+' sign at the bottom left and see if it will find your printer. iMac 27-inch Mid 2010, WD My Book 1TB Firewire, Magic Mouse,Magic Trackpad, iPhone 4, iPod Nano 4GB 3rd Gen,ATV2, Samsung LE40 Series 6, Denon AVR1910, Kef HTS 1001.2’s and Kube-1 Sub Denon DCD510AE, Panasonic DMP-BD60,Sky+HD,Logitech Harmony One Advanced.

Can you update the drivers/firmware via the Canon website? I note that it is not wireless and just USB..not such a bad thing but maybe time for an upgrade given you're on 10.7 iMac 27-inch Mid 2010, WD My Book 1TB Firewire, Magic Mouse,Magic Trackpad, iPhone 4, iPod Nano 4GB 3rd Gen,ATV2, Samsung LE40 Series 6, Denon AVR1910, Kef HTS 1001.2’s and Kube-1 Sub Denon DCD510AE, Panasonic DMP-BD60,Sky+HD,Logitech Harmony One Advanced.
