How do I revert to the original printer driver?

Hi all-
Just got a new Macbook Pro 15". I have a Canon MP780, and figured I'd try to update the printer & scanner driver for this printer. Downloaded and installed it, but now many of the printer option are struck-out in the Copies & Pages pop-down, and choosing one of these options says (c) Canon 2001-2004. Obviously, I've installed older drivers over new ones... how can I reinstall the original driver that came with my MBP?
Thanks!

The strike-through is a result of using a PPC driver on an Intel Mac. What you need to do is download the Universal Binary driver for this model. Looking at the Canon Aussie web site there is a v4.1.9 for OS X, which I believe is Universal (the post date shows Jan 2007). Before installing v4.1.9 you will need to remove the version currently installed (BTW - there wouldn't have been any drivers for this model included with your MBP, unless someone ran this up for you). Following is a procedure for removing the old and installing the new;
1. Open Printer Setup Utility, click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System.
2. Close the Printer Setup Utility.
3. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinters folder.
4. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the file Canon MP780 xxx.pkg
5. Empty the Trash
6. Restart the Mac
7. Install version 4.1.9 of the Canon driver
8. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
9. Open Printer Setup Utility and click Add.
10. Select the Default Browser view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.
11. Click Add to add the printer.

  • How do I revert to the default printer settings? I'm stuck on 4 sheets per page.

    I selected 4 sheets per page for a job a few days ago.  Since then, every time I go to print from Reader, 4 sheets per page shows up as the default.  I have to manually change it to "custom" with 1 by 1 and then it will print normally (1 sheet per page).  However, when I return to print something else (both in the same session - not closing the program, and also when I close the program and return), it will be back on 4 sheets per page!
    1) How do I return the printer to the default settings?
    2) Why is there no 1 sheet per page setting option?  It seems odd that I have to select "custom" and then specify 1 by 1.  Or perhaps my question should be "where" is the option to select a single sheet per page, rather than a custom setting?
    Thanks in advance.

    Right-click on a toolbar and click on the "Menu Bar" entry to select it, that will get rid of the Firefox button and display the menu bar instead.
    To change the tabs to below the other toolbars, right-click on a toolbar and click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.

  • I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?

    I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?

    When you "rename" a photo in iPhoto you're adding a Title to the shot, not renaming the file. This si quite standard metadata in photography, but it appars that it's getting lost in the upload/at Snapfish process.
    You can use the Titles as filenames if you export using the File -> Export command. It's one of the options in the export dialogue. You can upload the exported items.

  • Uploaded home movies revert to the original file name when added to iTunes?

    I have Home Video files that I have renamed from the original file names.  When I add these files to iTunes, the files revert to the original file name at the time the file was created.  How can I add these files to iTunes with the new file name without having to rename every Home Movie that has been added?

    OK I have done some more work and think i have the issue resolved. The problem lies with file formats specifically .mp4 and .m4v
    I suspect the files you are importing are mp4 files. When I do this i get the same behaviour of file names changing their name after playback. When i convert my files to m4v format and import the issue disappears.

  • Equium P200D - revert to the original BIOS?

    Toshiba Tempo alerted me to the existence of an updated Bios for my notebook, but on installation the system froze and now it won't restart at all (blank screen) As part of the installation I was asked if I wanted to back up the existing Bios, which I did (under BIOS-BAK), but how can I now get into the system in order to access the back up and revert to the original Bios ?
    All suggestions gratefully received !

    Hi
    I agree with the user above. The old BIOS can only be reinstalled if the update went well.
    Now in your case you need professional help form an authorized service provider. The technicians have to reflash the ROM module.

  • How do I revert to my original apple ID

    How do I revert to my original appleID?

    so i'm trying to understand better the situation, do you have more than one apple ID? Either way, there is another ID with your email address added as either a alternate email (a family member's email) or the email your seeking to use is being used as a recovery email for the original account, or another ID. i odn't mean to freak people out but alot of times the email that is wanted is used as an alternate to log into the ID. if that doesn't make sense then let me know and i'll explain better.

  • Why do the photos on my iPhone 4 revert to the original after I try editing them on iPhoto?

    Ever since I've had my iPhone 4 the photos won't edit (denoise, and sharpness). They continue to revert to the original, this is not the case for cropping and other editing methods. I have tried everything, updating iPhoto and my computer, changing accounts, using a different computer etc. I have now decided that it must be my phone and not my computer. What can I do to fix it?

    To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

  • I keep on adjusting the duration of the IMOVIE clips , and after I have hit DONE and check the clip, it reverts to the original number and not the new duration requested. Any suggestions???

    Error -69 suggests a possible problem with the source files on your computer. Check the source disk for errors and backup if you don't already do so. See HT1210: iTunes displays a -69 error when syncing iPod for more details.
    The SyncToy backup program is also a good way to identify exactly which files cannot be read. Repeated runs may succed in copying files which won't copy over on the first attempt.
    See also Corrupt iPod classic.
    It may also help to disable any AV software while syncing or set exclusions on the media folder and the iPod's drive.
