[QUOTE="Moon_Dog, post: 1156106, member: 182674"] [b]Thanks gsahli[/b] I've learned a few things, the Mac will print to the Canon IP 100 via direct connect with a USB cable. Today I even got the Mac to flash the lights on the printer and spit out a blank page by selecting a Gutenprint driver, but for a different model printer. Following some web advice I did a right click on the printer and reset to clear everything, then added the advanced button to the Add Printer box, went to advanced, selected LPD/LPR Host or Printer for Type and typed in lpd://ipaddress/sharedprintername in the URL box. But when I select my printer in Print Using drop down an error flashes too fast to read and it's not accepted. Like you say, it will accept any printer with Gutenprint after it. I just downloaded the Gutenprint file from the link you provided but my printer is not listed, looks like older printers. I just I'm out of luck. Thanks for the reply [/QUOTE]
