Canon LBP 3000 not working on Mac osx 10.5.7

Hi guys.
I had to do a OS re installation and now my Canon LBP 3000 printer will not print. Files get into the print Que and say "stopped".
I have searched all the forums and downloaded the English driver, the Japanese driver, doe I don't know how many restarts and no success.
Has anyone had success with this problem?

Hi there.

I have a mate with the LBP3000 and got him to confirm he can print okay from his 10.5.7 to the machine - which he can. He is using the v1.70 Japanese driver.

You mentioned that you had installed an English and the Japanese driver for your LBP3000. Given that I couldn't find an English version for the LBP3000, I wonder if you have a driver conflict (note that the same v1.70 CAPT driver on the Canon Australia web site is for a different model - the LBP5200).

I suggest you trash the CAPT folder, located in Mac HD/Library/Printers/Canon. Then unplug the LBP3000 USB cable and run the v1.70 Japanese driver installer again. If you click on the correct buttons during the install the Mac should shut down and restart at the end of the installation. Once the Mac has started again you can connect the USB cable again and check that the printer has added. Once it has you can try printing.

OMG Pahu !!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!!!
It worked.
I spent 5 hrs on this today with no success.
I guess a second point of view really helps sometimes.
Keep up the good work.
