I just installed two Canon V1000 printers, each has an individual fixed IP. I have installed the drivers and set them to point at the correct IP and queue on the printer and given them unique names. Unfortunately it doesn't matter which printer I send a job to, it will always go to the second one I installed. How do I install the drivers so I can send to either printer?
Are you doing File > Print by itself or are you doing File > Print and selecting the printer?
If File > Print by itself then the print job is going to the default printer, most likely the last printer installed.
Hello MikeMGBGT,
Since one printer is working, and the other is not, it appears to be an issue with the printer having problems. The issue could stem from a few things:
That being said, here are a couple of troubleshooting steps that may help to resole your issue: Solve printing problems on Mac - Apple Support. Please go through each of the steps offered on that page, in the order which they appear. If the issue remains after following the steps, you may have to reset the printer as a final solution. Steps are offered on that page as well, but here's the link in case you need it: Reset the printing system on your Mac to solve a problem - Apple Support.
*If you're not using macOS Ventura, you can choose the correct version of macOS for your iMac from the dropdown menu.
Kind regards!
I don't believe it is a printer issue, each one works individually, it is only when I have both installed that all jobs are then directed to the last one I installed, whichever one that is.
File > Print and selecting the printer
99% of jobs are being printed from InDesign and we select the printer in the print dialogue.
