Canon 1100 printer and Z40 rip with OSX.6 (OS10.6 Snow Leopard)

Question

I have seen a quite few people stuck with older printers under 10.6. Here is my fix for getting my Canon 1100 with a Z40 rip (the big box that sits to the side of the printer) to work with the new operating system.
How to connect a CLC 1100 and Z40 rip to Apple OS10.6 (OSX.6)
PART ONE
The PPD needs to be copied into the appropriate place
on the Mac /Library/Printers/PPDs/Content/Resources and this will make
it selectable within the add printer wizard.
The PPD should be able to be found in the OS9 driver download here:
http://www.canon.com.au/drivers/confirm?f=11704
To be sure, rename the file to: Canon-Z40.ppd
(do not worry that it is a text file and appears different to the other PPD files.
PART TWO
1) On the rip go to Run Setup and then to Network Setup and then to Protocol Setup.
Turn Apple talk off (it will not find the Appletalk network as it does not exist on 10.6)
Then go to TCP/IP settings and then to Ethernet settings.
- Enable TCP/IP for Ethernet - YES
- Enable Auto IP - NO
Then for IP address look up your IP address on the network settings on your computer then go through the following steps: change the IP setting on the rip as a later part of that series. In my example the network settings on my computer were 192.168.1.68. As there may be other things on the DHCP network pick a high number such as 192.168.1.205
Subnet mask should be the same as Network settings on your computer again. In my case it was 255.255.255.0
The rip should then say you are successfully bound to ethernet. It will then ask for a gateway number which is only important if you have more than one network. I just put a random number there and you will get a message saying that number is not recognized. Do not worry about it. If you have a second network then enter that number
PART THREE
Go to the add printer wizard in your system settings.
Select LPR/LPD (Line Printer Daemon - LPD)
Now in the address field put in the number you used as an IP address in the rip. In my case 192.168.1.205
In the Queue field enter: print
The above step is important!!
Enter a name and location for your printer if you want.
In Print using go to Select Printer software and then select
Canon ColorPass-Z40 Color Server.
The in the next menu select 1120 as your printer.
You should now be good to go!!
The only other thing is that if your rip will take a while to process the new settings (5 minutes in my case) If it gets stuck then disconnect the ethernet cable and re-start.

Answer 1

Thanks Donald, that was it!
I knew it'd be something easy.. Now the thing I'd like to know is, how do I get rid of software that is useless to me? I'd really like not to have excess software installed, but I'm not confident that I can just go in and start trashing anything that looks like junk. (If you do that on a Windows computer, you set in motion a diabolical chain reaction that brings about the apocalypse.) I'm a pretty new Mac user. Is there an app that'll do this task?
Thanks again!
