I think the sitation with the Canon BJC-80 is a little confused. I think the Canon web site is confused.


I get conflicting information. I suggest trying Gutenprint and Gimp-Print for Mac OS X. Gimp-Print is the older name for Gutenprint.


I haven't had much luck with Gimp-Print. Hopefully you will do better.

Doesn't list the BJC-80 as support in Mac OS X.
