Q: need PowerPC drivers for a Canon imageCLASS MF3010

This Canon support page has 10.5 drivers for Intel Macs but not PowerPC:

You may have to look at third-party options like GimpPrint but those only allow printing, not scanning. I'm pretty sure you Grand is not going to get full use from this device. I looked at Brother MP devices; they have traditionally been better as supporting older Mac products. However, their entry level models now require an Intel Mac and OS 10.6 or higher.

Allan,

Hi Don,

I just clicked on the link provided by Allan. Under Drivers & Downloads, Mac OS X Leopard v10.5 was manually chosen from the Operating System menu, resulting in four items (Recommended Downloads, English). However, generally speaking, one can never rule out that different items are presented on a web page depending upon where you are located and the type of computer used for the connection. The file under your link at least appears to have the same version number. Sorry, but I do not know more about the file(s) in question.

Don, That link you found looks like it only enables printing in 10.5 PPC but it is worth trying.

Don,

...and from the same source, the file at http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100162505.html could possibly be worth looking at for scanning.

Wow! jan is much better than I in ferreting out those obscure links. Good work, Jan!
