I'm trying to connect G4 17'' powerbook to be able to print to Canon i9100 printer connected to airport with USB over IP (not Rondevouz).

I downloaded the driver from Canon and installed it using Canon printer installation utility.

I did the usual thing (socket/ HP jetdirect...) but then when I goto to choose the printer canon does not show up. I choose "other" and that's where I'm stuck.

Where do I go to get the driver that was installed by the Canon driver installation utility? What kind of file (extension or type) am I looking for? This is not a postscript printer.



Thanks,

Skatman

    I think the file you are looking for is a PPD (postscript printer driver).

    You should look in

    /Library/Printers/PPDs

    /System/Library/Printers/PPDs

    /User/someusername/Library/Printers/



    Search your drive for and canon file and it might have a .ppd extension or look in preview and you should see it saying something like

    *Adobe-PPD blah blah.
