Accessing Windows shared printer, no GIMP driver for Canon iP3000. Options?

I checked a few pages worth of threads but couldn't find a solution to my problem.
Finally accessing my Windows shared printer. I have a Canon iP3000 and it doesn't print when I use the generic driver. I tried selecting the GIMP "Canon BJC 3000" driver but the prints end up shrunken to about a quarter of the paper size (8.5"x11"), my paper was set up and configured correctly. Any options for correcting this?
I had planned on connecting the printer to my MacBook Pro but all the support I could find was for sharing from Windows, so if anyone knows a good resource for such a setup, that'd help too.

There are new versions of Gimp-Print, now called Gutenprint, coming out on a regular basis. Check if the latest has your model:

Printing to a Windows shared printer, keep getting "Hold for Authentication" when I'm on the Windows shared network and can browse the computers.

I have had two MacBook Pros now, and this has been an issue in Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I've got a shared printer on the local Windows network (it's a USB printer shared via the network and the computer), and the other Windows computers in the house can print to it no problem. The Mac sees it no problem, yet whenever I try to print to it, I just get "Hold for Authentication."
Like I said, persists over Mountain Lion and Mavericks. No other computer in the house has any issues printing to it. I've installed the drivers for the printer as well (Brother HL-2240).
I've tried to follow the instructions here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23268762#23268762 but the printer isn't listed in Keychain Access.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Well, that isn't too useful. Try this instead: Adding a printer shared by a Windows computer via SMB/CIFS.

Accessing windows shared printer via mac over wireless

So i want to share my deskjet 812c thats attached to my pc and be able to print via my MBP over wireless. I simply shared teh printer in windows, but have yet been able to figure it out, or to get it to work. It seems that the MBP will not see the printer, so any advice or any walk throughs would be appreciated.
Thanks

To connect to a shared Windows printer, open the Printer Setup Utility and click More Printers. For the new window, click the drop-down and select Windows Printing and then Network Neighborhood. The workgroup name that has been configured in the Windows computer should display. Double-click the workgroup name and then select the computer name from the new list. A new window will appear asking you to enter your Windows account name and password. Enter these details and click OK. Select the printer share name from the list and then for the Printer Model, browse to HP and then to the Deskjet 812C. If this model is not listed, download a copy of Gutenprint 5.0.0 for Mac OS X (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3). This has the 812C which you can use for network printing. With the 812C selected, click Add.
Note that if you are not prompted to authenticate to the Windows computer, then this can impact your ability to connect to shares, especially on XP SP2. You will need to either enable the Guest account or create an account on the Windows computer for the MacBook.

No color when printing on pcl5 driver for canon iR 2880i

I have a problem printing from SAP (both sapscript and forms) to Canon iR 2880i using PCL5.
No color is printed, only grayscale and images in forms are also not correctly printed.
I have tried few SAP drivers, delivered by canon and also SAP. (HP color pcl5 drivers)
I did also have the same problem with HP color 3800 printer but there I could solve the problem by using POST2 postscript driver, but the canon printer does not have postscript emulation installed.
I have both tested with access methods C and U but not via sapsprint. Frontend color printing works fine with the printer but I need this for background printing.
So it looks like this is a problem with PCL5 drivers in general.
Can anyone help me with this and give me troubleshooting tips.
Regards
Sindri

Hello Sindri,
We had exactly the same problem with our Canon copiers IRC 2880i. We contacted both Canon and SAP several times without success. No drivers we received from them can print in colors.
What we did to solve our problem:
We installed SAPSPRINT on our print server and configured all printers in SAP with Print method S.
In this case a windows driver is use and we can print in colors on every type of printers.
Please note that if you don't have a print server you can install sapsprint on a simple windows computer and define your Canon 2880i printer on this host.
Best regards,
Olivier Vanderperre

How to print on Windows Shared Printer

As I search in Google I found that there are many question about hot to print on windows shared printers. This is the way....
Before you add your windows shared printers in you Mac, sometimes you can not find your printer driver. The only way is directly connect your windows shared printers to you Mac, and connect your Mac to internet. After that your mac will automatically download printer driver. Now you have to add windows shared printers to your mac (this is part is easy..I'm not going to explain this...), and after you select the right driver you still can NOT print to windows shared printers ? You already have user & password for PC that connected to the windows shared printers...but nothing happened in your printer...
Soooo.....
All you have to do is :
1. Go to system pref on mac
2. Click on sharing - thick on "file sharing"
3. Go to "option" and then thick on "share files & folders using AFP" & thick on "share files & folders using SMB (windows)"
4. Dont forget to thick on you account name below...
5. You're good to go...
6. Please note that you have to know the PC Windows user & password that connected to the shared printer.

Hello Greg & Hello PAHU...

And with this reply I admitted that my information above maybe wrong, and the real solver to my problem is to install gutten-print driver :http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Thanks guys you're the best...now I live happily with my MBA

How to add a Windows shared printer

On the Windows 7 PC
1. Go to Control Panel
2. Select "Programs and Features" panel
3. Click "Turn Windows Features on or off"

2. Click "+" to add a printer
3. Right hand button tool bar to customize and add "Advanced" button
4. Select "Advanced"

6. In the "URL:" field enter lpd://IPserver/PrinterShareName; (e.g., lpd://192.168.1.102/samsung)
Using lpd://ServeName/PrinterShareName does not work, the IP address must replace ServerName
The IP address is the address of your PC, the one assigned by your router
7. Click the "Add" button

I had to download the driver for my printer. Depending on the printer you will have to go to that site. In the search engine type 'mac os driver (model printer). I have a dell wireless. After that I went to printers/faxes and hit the + sign and my dell printer was there to add. Hope this helps a bit. I actually just did it today.

Printing to a windows shared printer (Epson Photo 1400) on a AD Network

Looking for help with printing to a windows shared printer but I believe I need instructions for a domain rather than a workgroups??? Trying to print to a windows shared Epson Stylus Photo 1400 from a Mac running OS 10.4.11. Sharing works fine to other PC's an a network using active directory. (there is no workgroup, and I guess there can't be in the way the network is administered) The "address" used on another pc to print to the shared printer is \\111408nw.

Windows Could not find the Driver for your Apple iPod USB Device (5G 30GB)

I have a 8GB iPod Nano. My roommate has a 30GB 5G Video. Black.
My iPod syncs flawlessly. His is not recognized by Windows or iTunes. Every time we plug in the iPod, it prompts us for the driver. I tried to install the update apple mentions through the windows process, but after going through the tedious Windows Genuine Verification process, I was told that the update didn't apply to my computer.
We use a Lenovo Thinkpad T60p, which shipped with Windows Vista Business.
We are running iTunes 7.3.1.3, and there are no windows updates available for the computer.
I have...
...reset
...reinstalled 7.3.1.3 (over and over and over)
...tried different USB ports. (Early on, we saw it once after swapping ports).
...tried turning off the ability of the computer to 'Turn this device off to save power."
I have also verified that the iPod works on my work Dell Lattitude D620 running XP, and that it's not the cord, as we've used the cord that came with my Nano as well.
So, the problem seems to be with vista, as many people seem to have had. The best thread I found that deals with this was http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=995793.
But even after having tried everything, I still have an unrecognizable iPod.
When I run iPod diagonostics, everything seems okay, except for the iPod connection, which says failed. I've had difficulty working with the iPod service under Computer/Device Manager - it doesn't ever seem to stop or start, with the iPod plugged in or not.
And interestingly enough, the FAT32 external harddrive that I use to back up my data exhibits exactly the same problem ("Windows could not find the driver for your USB Mass Storage Device). This device worked great in XP, and even odder, I have a FAT32 partition of the main HD as a swap space between my VistaOS and my Ubuntu installation.
Do I have to chalk this up to another issue with Windows Vista? What bothers me there is that you're a ping-pong between windows support and apple support - no one really owns up the problem.

Bill, I've been stuck in this loop for 3 months since buying a new laptop with Vista Basic. I've tried everything to no avail. I don't know what else to do apart from buying a cheap PC running XP. Let me know if you manage to find a solution and I'll do the same.
Regards. Adam

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing.

I'm having the error "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" and I can't read/write CDs/DVDs. When I try to update the driver I have the message that it is already up to date.
I can't find the driver to dowload and try to fix the problem. Where can I download it or solve somehow my problem?

Missing raw file driver for Canon S90

I miss raw file driver for Canon S90. The software delivered with the camera works, but it doesn't work in finder, Aperure and so on, just in Canons own software. When will the driver be available for SL?

Apple hasn't said anything about it, but they're always quiet on everything (I think this works to their advantage for new products, but it works to their detriment for product updates.)
Anyway, they recently released the latest Camera RAW update and surprised a lot of people by not including the S90. Adobe had problems with the S90 -- images would "load" but looked poor. I can only guess Apple also had problems and decided to push it to a later date rather than hold up the whole stack of RAW camera updates people had been waiting on (typically they release an update with support for a list of cameras).
