I have an ibook that I am trying to connect to a Canon BJC printer using a usb to parallel cable. Cable did not come with a cd with software or driver. Downloaded a driver from Canon that was supposed to work with osx, but did not. Computer recognized printer, but the printer does not work. Need help to get this printer working. Thanks for your help.

Closer than you think.
Your Mac's Specs
Performa 6116 2GBSCSI 8MB OS 7.5.3
Does the device show up in system profiler?

 menu > About this mac > More Info

My guess would be that the parallel connection is too slow and the job dies in buffer trying to wait for the parallel connection to get the info to the printer.
