My mac says it does not support the architechure of the PIXMA MX459 setup printer. Please help, it won't let me install it.

Hello Missiah,

There is no driver for the OS Version you selected. The driver may be included in your OS or you may not need a driver.

There are some SW there though.

Only Pixma drivers included in OSX10.5 are...

Might see if one of those work.

Other than that, might try the MX350 drivers, says 10.4/10.5, etc., but doesn't say if it's for PPC or Intel architecture...
