Just bought a brand spanking new iMac. Tried connecting my 5 year old Canon MP600 to it and I did so by downloading the drivers from the Canon website. It seemed a little TOO easy. Worked perfectly for a week, now the printer is offline and refuses to print anything. I've read a lot of different info on this same problem, but nothing has helped.
Yes, I have already:
(1) reinstalled drivers
(2) checked all cords and plugs
(3) done test printing pages to make sure the printer is fully functional.. and it is
(4) reinstalled drivers for a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6TH time
(5) checked ink, checked everything
I am brand new to Mac, so maybe I didn't delete the drivers correctly before reinstalling? I've opened System Prefs and looked in the scan/print section. I've tried ADDING a new printer and my Canon shows up nowhere.
If it never worked with my new Mac to begin with, I would just say it's not compatible.. but since it JUST worked PERFECTLY, I'm convinced it's something stupid I have to do.. I hope. I can always use an SD card to print, but that's sucky.
ANY and ALL help would be much appreciated
