Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 2008Canon ip4500 - is it OK with Leopard ?
My neighbour's lad has a second problem. His dad has a Canon ip4500 printer wired into either a windoze box or his Wi Fi router (he wasn't sure) and his G4 iBook can't print to it. He tells me he has downloaded the latest driver from the Canon site but it doesn't appear on the drivers options list. If he prints a "test" document (via wi-fi) all he gets from the printer is a blank page. I have googled about and found one or two threads on Forums where there are some issues with the ip4500 being discussed but I can't find a definitive answer. Anyone using this combination and can shed some light on his problem ? -- JohnB > My neighbour's lad has a second problem.

If it's wired to the Windows box, then he might find installing Bonjour onto the Windows machine may work. It worked for me (the other way around). Download it from the Apple site. If he has Leopard installed on the iBook, it should just find the IP4500, The iBook we have here found the IP4200 I have.

I too have an ip4200 connected to a Leopardified iMac. I also have a Leoparded MacBook, and I have the 2 set up so that MacBook can see the ip4200, but when I try printing to it I get a useless window pop up that says "Print failed". So nothing else to go on. Any ideas on what I should try prodding next?

No, Emily prints to the IP4200 here OK from her iBook, both on 10.5.2. You might try deleting the printer and reinstalling. Or, check the firewalls, and make sure you have Printer Sharing turned on.

FWIW we get similar from Tiger to a Win shared ip4000. Canon's fault apparently. To get round it we bought an ip5200r (network printer). All the best .. T i m |
