[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1518469, member: 131855"] I had similar issues with Canon Pixma MP 980s and 990s. Needless to say the directions were of little help - especially with setting up the network/shared connection. In the end I think I used the Printer preference pane in OS X to set up both printing and scanning bypassing the drivers on the CD entirely. I don't remember exactly how I did it I think it was the following: 1. Connect the Printer via USB and run through the setup from the Print/Scan preference in OS X. 2. Assuming you have already made appropriate setting for wireless networking on the printer choose to add another printer. 3. In the default tab look for the printer - probably has Bonjour as part of the name. It may take a few seconds to appear. 4. At the bottom of that pane under "Use" choose the driver. Then in the IP pane set the protocol to LPD. The process for scanning was similar and may take several attempts. At one point I had printing working but no scanning. [/QUOTE]
