[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1318041, member: 182015"] As dtravis7 was saying (but wasn't certain), you can't use the Canon-provided driver for this non-postscript printer over a network. Brother is the only maker of non-postscript printers to use the CUPS programming interface for drivers (so far). The Canon drivers are what Apple calls "monolithic" meaning they have the page translation AND the communication interface built into the driver. They haven't allowed the other CUPS standard network protocols to be used. So you will need to use an open-source CUPS-style driver, like Gutenprint, that Apple has included in OS X. Check for newest version of Gutenprint here: [url=http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php]Gutenprint for Mac OS X[/url] print server - compatible, Canon driver - not [/QUOTE]
