For some reason, the iMac is not recognizing the printer and will only let me use the generic Gimp Print drivers. However, my specific Canon printer isn't listed in the Gimp Print list. And, it will not accept the Canon driver in the printer library.
I called AppleCare but they were less than helpful, blaming it on the router, which I doubt.
I think that, OS X just doesn't like the printer I have. I have the latest driver from the Canon website and the printer works fine when directly connected via USB cable. I only have a problem printing through the network.
I may buy a new, cheap Epson (refurb C86 for $50 at Fry's) and see if that works. If it does, the Canon may go up on eBay.
