HELP with Canon MP460 Printer

I don't have the MP460 but it shouldn't be too different from other models of Canon AIO.

Now, you mention you are using the MP460 as a network printer. Do you mean you have the printer connected to the USB port of another computer (Mac or PC) and are sharing it, or does the unit have its own Ethernet/wireless port?

If it is being shared by a PC, then you cannot use the Canon made drivers. You will have to use the Gutenprint drivers that would have been included with Leopard, had you selected to install them.

If it is a true network device, then you have to connect the MP460 via the USB port first of all and configure the network settings, such as the IP address. Once this is done, you add the printer by using More Printers and selecting Canon IJ Network. Once the machine is seen on the network the Canon software should automatically select the appropriate driver.

Did you have any luck resolving this? I'm running into the same problem.

I emailed Canon and received an answer that solved the problems perfectly. I can now (finally) use my scanner AND my printer again!

Dear Joel:

Thank you for writing to us. We value you as a Canon customer and
appreciate the opportunity to assist you. I apologize for the
difficulty you are having with scanning using the MP460.

It sounds like the old drivers for the MP460 are installed, and
unfortunately updating to the new drivers will not work until the
previous drivers have been removed. Please follow these steps to
uninstall the software:

1. Open Macintosh HD, Library, Printers, and drag the Canon folder to
the trash.

2. Open Macintosh HD, Library, Receipts, and drag any files that
contain your model number as part of the file name. NOTE: DO NOT trash
the CanonPrinterDrivers.pkg file.

3. Open Macintosh HD, Open Library, Image Capture, and TWAIN Data
Sources, and move Canon MPXXX.ds to the trash.

4. Click the Apple Menu, System Preferences, Print and Fax.

5. Hilight the MPXXX and click the minus to remove the print queue.

6. In the Apple menu, click 'Restart'.

7. When the computer has been restarted, click and hold your mouse
button on the trash can and click Empty Trash.

Once you have emptied the trash, please follow these steps to download
and install the latest drivers:

1. Visit Canon's web site at: www.canontechsupport.com

5. Scroll down the page and you will find all downloads available for
your model and the selected operating system. Click the link for the
file you want to download. When you select the printer driver, please
ensuer that you do not chose the printer driver labeled (CUPS).

6. Instructions for completing the download and installation will
appear on the page that follows. You will also see a Disclaimer at the
bottom. Review the disclaimer and click I Agree - Begin Download.
