Of course, sounds like with the canon you're further ahead than me, 'cause I couldn't get anything but page after page of garbage until I got those drivers.
CANON S800 PRINTER DRIVER FOR MAC FOR MAC OS
In getting my mac to print to an hp officejet on a windows system, I had to get the hplinux drivers for cups, compiled for mac os (). You'll probably need to visit the ugly CUPS interface at to do that. You might try bumping your DPI up, wherever that is done in the mac. So something in the driver chain probably wasn't scaling the image up right, so I got a complete print out that took up -exactly- 1/4 of the page. It was 150 and my laser printer was a 600dpi printer. The problem was that the DPI wasn't set to the "native" DPI of my printer. I do remember once with Linux I was printing fine but getting the small page size. It seems to require slightly different voodoo each time (much like Linux). I've had all kinds of trouble with remote printing of all kinds on Mac OS X. If you've got a Mac, you've got some Unix experience but you don't consider yourself a Mac-person, this book is a good way to head in that direction. Here's a current screenshot of my Mac's Application's folder.Thanks to Scott and Grant from the comments of my Mac post for getting me started.maybe it's time for a Mac Ultimate Tools List? Maybe in a few more years when I know what I'm doing. I'd forgotten about the whole Rhapsody fiasco and the NeXtSTEP stuff.

The opening section on the history of the OS refrains from Microsoft bashing and is a very interesting read. Underneath it's still voodoo.Īnyway, the book walks a nice fine line between the Unix underlayman and the Mac UI. Even though I installed the new drivers, the S300 doesn't appear in the Printer Browser only the S400 and S450, and when I print a whole page it only shows up at 1/4 size. I'm not sure that the Canon drivers I install work for remote printers running under Windows. I still haven't been able to get my Canon S300 printer (shared via Windows) to work with my Mac. Apparently the second autho built on the work of the first who did the first edition, but you really wouldn't notice as the tone is very even throughout.

This second edition book feels like the work of a person from the NW (which is a very good thing, IMHO). It's also, as an aside, written by a Portlander, which explains the general tone of the book. Just a "prosumer" who wants to get the most out of the new Mac. It's got a great, casual tone that realizes that there is a kind of user that isn't a newbie, but isn't a *nix or Mac freak.
CANON S800 PRINTER DRIVER FOR MAC MAC OS X
I'm still using the Free MiniMac and digging it more each day. I got a copy of Running Mac OS X Tiger from O'Reilly.
