Canon MF3110 & Lexmark P4350

I just got a new MacBook a few days ago, and I'm having some issues with my printers. Does anyone know if there is a way for me to print to a Canon MF3110?

I have tried looking for a generic type of driver, but I have been unsuccessful so far.

I also cannot get my Lexmark P4350 to work as well. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm a new Mac user, so I am sure that some of this is the learning curve.

Thanks.

13.3" MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.9), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz

The generic drivers available are for postscript or, for printers that use the HP PCL language (in that case you'd choose HP Laserjet 6 Series, or HP Color Laserjet 5000)
Read this confusing entry about the Canon:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=Canon-MF31103111
(I think you're out of luck printing directly.)

For the Lexmark,

If you have the PC to use as print server, you can do this:

Thanks.

I actually got the Lexmark to run just by putting in the CD...it was for an old PowerPC mac, but the Intel machine can still use it via Rosetta.

As for the Canon, I will probably just print to it through Parallels. Thanks again for the links.

I've the same problem with my MF3110
I'm still looking for a solution but I think the only one is to get a new printer.
