2. Hold Control key and click in the empty Printers list. Click on Reset Printing System.

3. Close Print & Fax

4. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinter folder.

6. Go to Library > Preferences and delete the Canon folder.

7. Empty the Trash

8. Unplug the Canon USB cable and restart the Mac

9. Install the latest version of the Canon driver. Check the Canon web site to ensure you have the latest version.

10. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.

11. Reconnect the Canon USB cable. Then open Print & Fax and see if the Canon printer is listed. If it is, try a test print.

13. Select the Default view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer.

14. Click Add to add the printer.

I used this to troubleshoot my MP600. It might work with other Canon Printers also 🙂
