Printer driver for Canon MP730

i am am totally fed up with my HP 8500 officejet printer (paper jam all the time). I want to start using my older printer (Canon MP 730) again in combination with an iMac running on OS X Yosemite
DId anyone find a printer driver for a Canon MP 730 that works properly with an iMac running on OS X Yosemite?  I am only using the printing and scanning function of  the Canon MP 730 (do not use the fax).

The MP730 was released in 2003 and support ended in 2010. The last OS X driver that Canon released was for Mac OS X 10.6 and this will not install on Yosemite.
So your options are Gutenprint v5.2.10, which is free, or PrintFab, which costs €49. 
Note that Gutenprint v5.2.10 is not digitally signed for Yosemite so its installation will be blocked by Gatekeeper. To get past Gatekeeper, right-click on the Gutenprint installer package and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. Now you will get the option to install.

  • Need printer driver for Canon imageclass D320

    Anyone direct me to a printer Driver for the Canon Imageless 320?
    Canon support says none available.
    Macbook pro under Yosemite.
    thanks

    Canon never made an OS X version of its proprietary driver "CARPS" that is used by the D320. And the Canon driver link provided above is just for Canon inkjets - there is no support for your model.
    If you want to print to the D320 from the Mac, you would need to install a virtual machine application like VMware's Fusion and then load Windows 7 into the VM.

    Hi guys,
    I'm searching for a printer driver for the Canon Lasershot LBP-1120. I've been looking around a bit on google but haven't found anything very helpful.
    Thanks.

    I don't know how, and if you have to ask, you probably don't, either. Sorry.
    If you still have the PC that you can use as print server, try this:

    Hi Paul, I find none either, but...
    Consumer Inkjet and Scanner Products
    Important: Some older versions of Canon drivers will function with limitations on Mac OS X 10.7. Therefore it is recommended that you perform one of the following on Mac OS X 10.6 prior to updating to Mac OS X 10.7.
    Software Update - On the Mac running Mac OS X 10.6, perform a Software Update so that the Canon Printer Software Update v2.6 is installed and updates your existing printer drivers.
    Manual Driver Removal - On the Mac running Mac OS X 10.6, open System Preferences > Print & Fax and remove your Canon printer or scanner. Then after you upgrade to Lion use Software Update to obtain the latest Canon driver from Apple.
    Printer and Scanner Drivers
    The following Canon consumer devices have drivers that are included with the Canon Printer Software Update v2.6 and will be downloaded via Apple Software Update on Mac OS X 10.7.

  • Where can I find a printer driver for Canon Pixma iP6600D? I have Mac OS 10.9.2

    I have a great printer Canon Pixma iP6600D, still works great. I want to either download a printer driver or I want to learn how to transfer the driver from my Mac desk top. If I knew where to find the driver I could just manually transfer it from my desktop to my laptop.  Both are running maverick.
    Can anyone help me?

    The last driver that Canon released for the iP6600D was v10.51 for OS X 10.7. You could try downloading and installing this driver via this link.
    Note that the driver may not be digitally signed so Gatekeeper will block its installation. To get past Gatekeeper, you can right-click on the installer and select Open from the pop-up menu that appears. You will then be given the option to install the driver.

  • Printer Driver for Canon i960

    anyone else using a Canon i960 photo printer?  cant find a driver for Mavericks.  Old drivers giving really bad results.  Went to Canon site and it says no driver available.  Have to go all the way back to Snow Leopard to find a driver and it won't work for Mavericks.  Used my printer on Lion and Mountain Lion so I'm not sure what to do.  I assumed Apple would have a driver, but when I went to install, it said no driver found at Apple.  Help!

    I'm not knocking your 10+ year old Canon, because I still use an 8+ year old Epson.
    I do know that some day sooner or later, it is going to have to be replaced. The really sad part is that every time I look at new printers, I shake my head and walk away thinking
    "that cheap peace of junk is never going to last half as long as what I have now" 
    Have you tried > Canon Inkjet Printer Drivers v2.12 for OS X and then resetting your printing system, as per > OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system

  • Printer Driver for Canon MX310

    Hi everyone,
    Just made the switch to Mac on the weekend, and everything is running smoothly on my new SR Macbook so far. The only thing I'm having trouble with is getting the right printer driver set up.
    I got the Canon MX310 with the rebate that came with my macbook, and it's connected to a PC running Windows XP. I have everything shared properly, and I installed the printer driver (onto my Macbook as well) that came on the CD with the printer. The problem I'm having is that I can't figure out where this printer driver is saved to on my Macbook!
    I tried looking at all those drivers that come preinstalled on Leopard, but the MX310 is not one of them, and it doesn't seem that my newly installed driver shows up on that list.
    I just can't find it, so I have selected the Generic Postscript Printer driver. Could someone please help me set this up so that I am using the correct driver for my printer?
    Many thanks!!

    I USE THIS DRIVER WHEN PRINTING FROM A MAC TO A WINDOWS XP OVER A NETWORK FOR THE CANON MX310. CANON PIXMA MP150 - GUTENPRINT V5.0.2 FIRST YOU NEED TO GO DOWN LOAD THIS FILE http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-print/gutenprint-5.0.2-ub.dmg?download INSTALL AND THEN WHEN INSTALLING THE PRINTER CHOOSE THE DRIVER I METION ABOVE.

  • Search for Printer Driver for Canon MPC190S

    Hi,
    I am facing a problem in getting my Mini to print on my existing printer (Canon MPC 190S).
    Called up Local Canon Support, saying that they dont Support Mac system.
    Anyone can help me out on advise on how to get the driver?
    Thanks
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    The Canon MPC 190 (don't know what the S means, it didn't come up when searching Canon's web sites) is only supported by Windows, so what Canon told you is correct, they don't have a mac driver or mac multifunction software for it.
    While there may be a way to enable the mini to do basic printing, you may want to consider another multifunction fax/copy/printer that has mac support.

  • Yosemite printer driver for Canon Pixma IP3000

    This is not so much a question as a solution to getting my old Canon Pixma IP3000 working again after upgrading to Yosemite.
    Although the printer is listed, when I wanted to add it I found no software for it from Apple. Phoning Canon they also said they have no software for the IP3000 and Yosemite. To make a long story short, after much trial and error trying out other drivers which were listed on "choose driver" I found that the IP4500 driver can be configured for cassette feed AND duplex and works on Yosemite. Hope this helps someone else to keep some of the older products going in our throw away society!

    I just installed that driver on a 10.10 VM and also found that there is no Duplex Print & Margin menu - just Margin.
    I then installed it on a 10.8 VM to be sure the lack of the menu was not due to using the 10.8 driver on 10.10. However I found that even on 10.8, there was no Duplex Print & Margin. So it would seem that duplex printing was not an option for the iP3500.
    I then checked an alternate driver suite called Gutenprint and added the iP3500 Gutenprint printer. It also did not support the ability to print duplex.
    But when I added another printer, this time using the Gutenprint iP3000 driver, there was the ability to print two sided from the Layout menu. So then I thought it might be worth checking if the Canon iP3000 driver also provides a duplex setting, but the last supported OS for this model was 10.6 so I did not even try to install that old driver on 10.10.
    Here is a link to the Gutenprint driver if you would like to try that.

  • Any printer driver for Canon ip4200 using OS 10.9.4?

    Bummed that I can't use my perfectly good printer (and new supply of ink) with Mavericks 10.9.4

    Gutenprint allows printing in the PIXMA iP4200, it's true, but there are no options for checking ink levels, calibrating print heads, or doing any type of maintenance or service on the machine anymore. And on the printing, it has 12 sub-levels of "fine tuning" but messing with any one of them results in printing an all-black sheet (wasting 1/5 of the black tank) so the only option left for print adjustments is "fast normal". Everything else doesn't work.
    I don't know if this is a Canon issue, or another massive Apple ****-up with this new operating system.

  • Can't use correct driver for Canon MF4140 USB printer shared by Windows XP

    Hi all,
    I have a Canon MF4140 printer connected to my Windows XP desktop machine via USB. The printer is shared and I can see it over the network with my MacBook running OS-X 10.4.
    I've downloaded the OS-X version of the printer driver from Canon, but I can't select it when adding the printer in OS-X, so I can't access any of the printer settings. I've selected the generic driver but that doesn't allow me to do double sided or 2-up printing.
    Is this because the printer driver does not support network printing, as the printer doesn't have a network interface?

    I guess this isn't clear on the iFelix page. To use any of the built-in network printing protocols on OS X, you must either have a postscript printer (postscript printers don't require a driver, just a PPD), or a driver that works with the CUPS system (a CUPS driver). So far, Brother is the only non-postscript printer manufacturer that provides CUPS drivers. For every other non-postscript printer, you need a third-party CUPS driver. Apple tried to get around this issue by including Gimp-Print drivers (open source CUPS drivers), but your model isn't in Gimp-Print. You can look around for other CUPS drivers, but Lexmark hasn't been cooperative with driver writers. Here are the CUPS driver sources:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/
    http://www.easysw.com/printpro/
    http://www.printfab.net/
    You may find it easier to share from OS X.

    I'm having trouble instaling a printer driver for my Canon MG5220. I downloaded the latest printer driver from the Canon website (10.67.1.0) and installed it on my Intel iMac.

  • HT3669 Latest Mac OS Update Driver for Canon 9500 Pro causes text lines all to be printed over the first letter of the line?

    Anyone know how I can 'fix' the Mac OS printer driver for the Canon 9500 Pro - all my text lines end up with the whole line being printed over the first character of the line of text when printing PDFs. It has ruined a lot of work.

    I'd try this:
    Delete the current printer (reset the print system) Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    Delete all other Canon software and utilities from your computer.
    Do a factory reset on your printer
    Use Software Update to download the driver from Apple.
    Don't reinstall any other Canon Utilities.
    Make sure you don't have something mechanical stopping the paper from advancing.
    If the problem is really the driver, then you could look in Gutenprint for a different driver. Gutenprint for Mac OS X
