This error could be caused by the driver you are using. Can you confirm the language and version of your driver, for example PS v1.81
I downloaded and installed the latest Canon driver yesterday (iR-PS1.81MacOSX). I followed your instructions about repairing permissions, uninstalling first, etc.
The bit about 'mine has no such settings' is a concern. Which settings are you referring to?
You had said:
for the PS driver, it will use LPR/LPD and if this is disabled, it might cause the error you are getting. To check, press the Additional Functions key on the copier, then press System Settings then Network Settings. I think the LPD setting is located under TCP/IP?
On my printer, using the web interface because the control panel is messed up despite being replaced a half-dozen times, under Add. Func.>System>System setting, I can no setting about the operation of the device, but only a status message, support url, and contact info for the system manager. I have drilled down through all the menus, and see nothing about PostScript.
That said, I took your advice about trying a generic Postscript driver, and that will print. Which confirms that Postscript is working fine (which I already assumed because Tiger Macs can print to it).
As you say, since it prints with the generic Postscript driver, the problem must be the driver. But I hate to lose all the features of the printer by using the generic driver. It sort of wastes the money spent on the numerous paper trays, finisher/stapler/hole punch, etc.
Still, I appreciate your help getting something onto paper, even if most of the reasons for having this machine are unavailable. Thanks for helping me get that far.
