Canon i560 with iMac ???

Hello all
I will soon be getting an Imac core duo to replace the current PPC imac that i have because it is a lemon. It never would read DVDs even with the drive and the logic board replaced. I would like to know if my printer will work fine with it. It is a Canon i560 usb printer. Are there any Universal Binary drivers for it? Will the current printer drivers I have work with it?
Are there any other things I should be aware of? (I know non UB apps will be slower ie. Photoshop, Illustrator, Office, Flash...)
Ps it will be a 17 inch 1.83 core duo with 1.5GB ram.
Nic

Nic,
On Canon's web site they have drivers for the Intel Mac for this printer. So, it should work fine. My i9900 does, as does my Canon scanner LIDE 500F.
No worry's mate!

  • How can I set up a Canon printer on iMac with cd? (iMac has no cd/dvd drive?)

    Purchased the latest iMac with no dvd drive; also purchased a Canon printer with dvd set-up; how can I install printer on iMac?

    Macs do not usually need to download anything from the CDs that come w/printers.  Read the user manual that came w/the printer and/or contact Canon Support. 
    Or purchase an external burner.  Do not purchase Apple's usb burner.  3rd party burners are 110% better. 

  • Text not printing with Black Ink on Canon i560

    I've been having a pretty annoying problem with my Canon i560: When printing black text, instead of using the black ink, the printer mixes black from the color inks. This has been a problem for a little while but recently, the colors got a little offset so it became really obvious.
    Also, I just received an update for the Canon printer drivers and according to the Apple page, the Canon i560 is supported and the drivers are actually updated.
    I'm pretty sure that it's a driver problem because I can print from a Windows virtual machine to the exactly same printer all other variables remaining the same - and guess what: When printing from Windows, black is black, colors are colors, as one would expect with this kind of printer.
    So, does anyone have an idea how I can make my make send the right signals to my Canon i560?

    Ah, sorry, I missed that when reading your reply. Probably should have re-read it. However, I have just made a test-print from TextEdit with the "Grayscale Printing" checkbox enabled - and I'm still getting precisely the same ugly, greenish result.
    Then it is not working as it should be and it is either the driver or the core printing system. To check both there is alternate driver available called Gutenprint. With this driver suite installed you can create another printer queue on the Mac, this time selecting the Gutenprint i560 driver. When you then print and have the i560 Gutenprint driver selected, change to the Printer Features menu and then select the General tab in Feature Sets submenu and then set the Color Model to Grayscale. Does this work correctly?
    And with the Canon driver, if you want to repair the colour offset, you can go to Print & Scan, select the i560 using the Canon driver and then open Options & Supplies. Then select the Utilities tab and click on Open Printer Utility. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility. From here you can select the Test Print menu and then Print Head alignment.

  • PC Printer (Canon MF5750) and IMac?

    Hi all,
    I am currently considering to buy one of the new IMacs. In our office we have a small laser printer (Canon MF5750) with fax and scanner. Since I need both quite often I was wondering if there will be any possibility to get a driver considering the new Intel-Platform of the IMac?
    Right now there doesn't seem to be any solution, right?
    Obaddiah

    It does seem to be a little strange that a Canon with a USB connection doesn't have any kind of Mac driver for download!
    Perhaps you can ask Canon about a driver.
    I assume that the Canon is on a PC Network?
    One option would be to buy and install VirtualPC, which runs a virtual PC with Windows XP on the Mac, and use that for faxing and scanning over the network.
    VueScan may help with the scanning side, but I don't know if it handles scanning over a network.
    The cheapest option may just be to buy a new printer that communicates with both Mac and PC - not unreasonable for a printer to do in this day and age!

  • I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB)

    I have a problem with Imac mid 2010 graphics card (ATI Radeon 5670 512MB). When I play video formats like xvid, mkv, avi iMac freezes and emits horrible sound,in service said the problem is not overheating. Not a problem with memory or hard disk because I placed second correct parts.The same problem is with OSX 10.6.8 and 10.8.4 and other players.Apple hardware test found no problem and tech tool pro found no fault.
    After five days of testing in the service they can not  found fault and it was decided to change the graphics card.
    New graphics have been tested for two days but it is not reproduced divx ... but their test software which did not find any fault on the old graphics...
    Do I have the right to complain if repair does not fix the problem because I use non apple softwere and video formats.

    You could look at the System Profile for the info it presents for the card.  But why wouldn't you think it's not up to date if you have the latest install (according to your sig above)?
    What program are you trying to run?  Is there anything in the system log? 
    I think it's the program that's having the problem and not anything with your video software.

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I want to purchase iMac i7 and want to know if my pc based LG dvd player (usb) is compatible ? also my external Hard Drive (usb) is it compatible with iMac?

    wiil my PC extermnal dvd player and external hard drive be compatible with iMac ore do I have to by all new stuff?
    Can data be recovered from Hard drive and transfered to new iMac simply?
    Thank you for your time and consioderation,
    depending on this answer will decide if i change over to iMac or not
    Pierre

    All USB drives should be compatible hardware-wise. If the drive is formatted NTFS, then you can copy from it, but not write to it. If it is formatted FAT or exFAT, then you can both read and write.

  • Is it possible to add a second monitor via mac mini with iMac

    Hi
    is it possible to add a second monitor via mac mini with iMac
    or is there another solution?
    all i want to know is if i can run a second monitor or link a mac mini for more speed like i heard you can with the G5 Towers.

    The iMac will allow you to connect a second monitor but that monitor will show the same thing as the iMac's built-in screen.
    You can network a Mac mini and iMac via Ethernet or Firewire.
    Software load sharing like Xgrid can allow you to share work between the Macs.

  • Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?

    What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).

    For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
    are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
    next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
    is excellent. Check out:

  • Can't drag and drop nor copy  and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1.

    Can't drag and drop nor copy and past with iMac with OS 10.8.1.  Not with iTunes, MS Word, nor Pages.  No where.  Reboot or relogging in helps for about an hour.  Hard reset worked for a short time. Per Apple support, most likely will reinstall the operation system.  Just wondered if anybody else has run into this.  Did a disk scan, and that was fine.  And did rebooting, holding down CMD+OPT+R, and P..  Deleted all the start up programs.  Checked the internet, no solutions there.  So it all appears to be OS redo time. 

    Do you subscribe to MLB.tv, and if so, did you install the NextDef plug in? If so, read this…

    I removed the NextDef plug in over 24 hours ago, restarted and haven't had a single issue with drag and drop or cut and paste since.
