I know lots of people have had difficulty with Leopard and airport printing.

i switched via the drop down selection to 'Canon IJ' driver, which was the only other option. the default driver was 'Canon iP3500.' THIS WAS THE PROBLEM IN LEOPARD (tiger worked fine). 'printer setup utility' opened, showed Canon iP3500 available via a bonjour connectionĩ. I had to do this because of multiple failed install attempts in the past.)ħ. erased previous print queues (highlighted my printer in the selection box on the left, clicked ➖. i installed as indicated on my respective hard drives.ĥ. connected printer to airport extreme via USB, turned it onģ. I chose the CUPS version (what this means, i don't know - they just said it was better for 'air mac' printing, which is the Japanese version of 'airport,' i think)įor tiger, i used the latest regular driver (non-CUPS!).Ģ. downloaded latest drivers at ' id=103'įor leopard, I downloaded the latest driver from the canon website. PBg4 (tiger) and a macbook air (leopard) printing wirelessly (bonjour USB connection through a NEW airport extreme 'n' model) on a Canon iP3500 printer.ġ.

If anyone has an answer to this I'd love to hear from them. My only solution is to share the printer from the eMac: the MBP sees that with no trouble. Canon support could only offer the advice to download a new set of software and reinstall - I'd already done that and doing it again had no effect. Yet I can 'ping' the printer from the computer so the connection is alive. The Scan utility can see the printer, but its address is dimmed and there's an exclamation mark in the dialog box where there should be a checkmark.

I reopened the link to the iMac immediately, but no matter what I do the MBP refuses to connect. But a couple of weeks ago, after I put in a new printhead, the LAN connections died. It's been connected via wireless LAN to my MBP and iMac, and directly via USB to the eMac: the initial set up was easy and I had no problems. Mine is a Pixma MP800R, with an old-style Airport Extreme. There's certainly something very odd happening with these printers.
