After downloading Mavericks today my canon IP5200 printer will not connect not showing as supported on canon site do I now have to wait and see if updated software will appear?

Thanks camaas!

I will try it.

😊

Hi camaas !

It works with my IP 5200R installing before the drivers y sugest and using the especific driver for me mcpd-mac-ip5200r-10_51_2-ea11.dmg from Canon´s web page.

Thanks 🙂 🙂 🙂

I have used the search function on canon.com, canon.eu, canon.com.au and canon.dk (local Danish mirror) and in no instance is there an available driver for the Pixma ip5200r for OSX 10.9 Mavericks.

The only things you can download are Canon IJ Network tool and Easy Photoprirnt EX.

So I am really curious as to the path that has led you to the link you have provided. Where and how did you find this software?

I am sorry to sound paranoid but I do not want to install software from unverified sources and end up with malware as a result.

BTW: If you read the support document for the CanonPrinterDrivers2.12.dmg you will find that ip5200 og ip5200r are nowhere listed in the list of suported printers.

Hy Niels!

From Canon´s support page:

http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_ip_s eries/pixma_ip5200r#DriversAndSoftware

Using the driver for Lion (OX 10.7) : iP5200R CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.51.2.0 (Mac OS X 10.5/10....

It works fine for me at this time.

Oh. I am using that myself on my 10.8 and 10.9 machines. I just stumled on the mentioning the driver was developed for 10.9 specifically, which it isn't in the eyes of Canon. But i works. :-)

Good to hear that finally one driver problem with Mavericks and printers could be solved. 🙂

When you mark it as "This solved my question" or "Helpful answer", others will find the answer more quickly.

Another thing you can try is to install the Apple Canon Driver set (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl899) and then tell the Apple printer setup dialog that your printer is actually a different Canon Printer.

This worked for me with my Canon Pixma ip1700. The ip1700 isn't in the list of supported printers for this driver (which is why my mac didn't auto-install it), but telling the mac to treat the ip1700 as an ip1800 (which is still supported) seemed to work fine.

Hope this helps.

Thank you ! It works fine for me ! I've installed 1st the Canon Printer Driver and then i've used your link.

Now my IP5200 can print under Mavericks.

Excellent - i installed the file from the link posted: mcpd-mac-ip5200-10_51_2-ea11.dmg

Running Yosemite - and could not find a driver anywhere... but installing mcpd-mac-ip5200-10_51_2-ea11.dmg worked 🙂

Thanks for that post
