Can print to shared Canon iP4300 via Bonjour - but not with Canon driver

I've searched the forums and therefore know roughly what the problem is, but still need some concrete info please...
Have finally managed to share my Canon iP4300 connected to iMac (10.5.2) via USB and print to it from XP, using Bonjour for Windows. However... when I run the printer assisntent it finds the printer but only offers me the choice of a generic driver. The driver turns out to be labelled "HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS". A postscript driver?!? Well, it works, but I'd really prefer the proper Canon driver (which is already installed - I previously had the printer connected to the PC).
Yet, when I select this driver retrospectively (from the printer-share properties dialogue), I cant print. This, if I understand correctly is because the Canon driver doesn't support Bonjour?
So is there anything I can do? Eg. I've read about the Gimp drivers, but they're only for OSX right?
Maybe this generic "HP" driver will be adequate (haven't printed anything properly yet) but would like to know if anybody has suggestions other than contacting Canon (which I will do anyway).
Cheers

I Have the same Problem as you,
I Have the Canon MP180, and i have the driver on my windows XP Laptop
But when i try to connect to it, using Bonjour (as the printer is connected to the mac) it uses a HP Color LaserJet 4550 PS driver even though its Canon
Does anyone know how to use the proper driver.
It works ok using the HP Driver, but the quality of the printouts from the windows XP laptop seem rubbish
Many Thanks
Alex
P.S if you got this working, can you send me a message back.

    You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    <Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
    You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

  • User Authentication Failed via http BUT not with Visual Administrator !!?

    OS : Win 2k3 Server UK * DB : SQL Server 2005
    SAP Netweaver 2004s Application Java
    Hi All,
    Since a couple of days, I have a problem concerning authentication to the java apllication on a SAP Netweaver 2004s.
    Using the user ‘Administrator’, I CAN logon the Visual Administrator tool, with the same user I tried to logon via http://host:port/nwa without success.
    At the beginning, I was thinking about a problem of password then I enabled the emergency user SAP*, the problem was the same. Ok with Visual Administrator but not via http.
    Here is two logs found in folder : D:\usr\sap\SID\JC02\j2ee\cluster\server0\log\system\

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I found the solution this last week-end.
    This behavior let's thinking to a problem of authentication.
    But the problem was in SQL, an index was missing in table J2EE_CONFIG, called J2EE_CONFIG_I3

  • Lightroom 5 is auto-developing our canon 7d raw files but not the canon 5d mark 3 files upon import.

    Lightroom 5 is auto-developing raw files upon import on the canon 7d but not on the canon 5d mark3. I would prefer to do individual file developing in the develop module.

    Go into preferences, select the Presets tab. Hit "Reset all Default Develop Settings". You probably by accident set a default Develop for the 7D. Also check that you don't have a preset selected in the import dialog.

  • I can home share to Apple TV via ethernet but not wireless.  Please help!!

    This has been driving me mad for a week now. I have an acer Laptop using windows vista. When I connect the Ethernet cable to my rout and laptop, home sharing works fine. But as soon as I disconnect and go wireless, Apple TV cannot find my library. My partner has a HP laptop that operates on windows xp. That works fine. can anyone help and give me a step by step guide with what to do? I've checked every apple forum on the matter and nothing seems to work. I figure it's got something to do with my wireless Internet settings. It can't be the router if my partners library shares ok, right?? I've uninstalled macafee and even turned my windows firewall off. But surely these weren't problems in the first place if Ethernet connection works?!? Am not very tech savvy, so any simple things to check would be SO appreciated.

    Homesharing should work over ethernet too, ask your network provider about homesharing, it may be that the university doesn't allow it.

  • Time capsule USB printer works when I connect via ethernet but not over wifi

    I have a USB printer hooked up to my new Time Capsule. If I turn off my wifi and connect to the Time Capsule with an ethernet cable it works fine. When I try to do the same thing over wifi (even when I'm sitting next to it) it cant seem to make a solid connection. Most of the time it just says Printer Paused, but sometimes it will work, other times the printer just clicks, or starts but then stops. Other than that my wifi connection seeems pretty good.
    Is there something with the settings with my older "08 MacBook and the newer Time Capsule?
    Any help is very much appreciated,
    Thanks

    Very interesting one..
    Did you upgrade install ML into the MB??
    It sounds to me like it has corrupted the wireless drivers.. and I think you will need to do a clean install.
    If you have internet working over wireless I see no reason for this to happen though.

  • Can watch You Tube vidoes on Internet Explorer but not with Firefox. Why?

    This problem has only cropped recently. I don't seem to be able to watch online vidoes - you tube & others - with Firefox (I have the latest version 32) anymore. They start loading & playing & then sit there trying to load but won't go any further. On the other hand, I can use my older version of Internet Explorer to watch the same videos not problem. The play smoothly without stopping & starting. They play as the load. What had changed with my Firefox please? How do I fix this? I am still using Windows XP so prefer not to use Internet Explorer anymore. I hope someone had a simple answer and I don't have heaps of time to trawl through all the questions & answers on the forum! Thanks in advance :)

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Also, unrelated to Flash, the latest version of Firefox is version 33, you can update either by going to:
    * Help (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > [[Image: Help-29]]) > About Firefox
    Or download a fresh copy at:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    * (if you need a different localization) https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

  • "Untrusted Connection" appearing for any website via Firefox, but not with IE

    No replies solve the problem. Where's Mozilla's response.

    hello, first please make sure that the date & time is set correctly on your system. if this doesn't solve the issue (or it is already set properly), a possible solution depends on different factors:
    * what is the '''error code''' shown under ''technical details'' on the error page?
    in case the error code equals ''sec_error_unknown_issuer'', please attempt to add an exception on the bottom of the error page & inspect the certificate (see the screenshot attached for instructions):
    * which '''issuer information''' does the certificate contain?
    thank you!

  • I purchased an album from the itunes store on my ipad2 thinking i could retrieve it from my windows pc. I have turned on home sharing and can see my pc library from the ipad but not vice-versa. Is there any way to transfer the album from my ipad library?

    I purchased an album from the itunes store on my Ipad2 thinking i could access it from my windows laptop where I sync my ipod. I turned on Home Sharing and can see my laptop libraries from my ipad but not vice versa. Is there any way to fix this so I can transfer the album to the itunes on my laptop?

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

  • HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

    Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
    I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
    Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
    Thanks, John Lee

    Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
    Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
    So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.
