How deeply do you read license agreements? I skimmed over and saved a version using "save" button to force myself to read it through later. Same security alert - again nothing to worry about, just Canon not being part of Apple's accepted developers? So after restart, installed the printer software. Well, this just means Canon hasn't paid to Apple for being one of their accepted developers? Though not sure what en.lproj folder is meant to be. Must have checked something wrong before.
I did not delete anything from printer folders, but as the Canon folder in App Folder came from the installation CD, I dragged that to trash and deleted, bit worried it might offend the newer software.Ĭhecking the printer location, I actually did not see any drivers for Canon. (Have to post two messages, it won't let me post it in one go) If possible, can you please check them and look if everything looks fine? Plus there was one weird message I'd like to ask about in the end.
If I may bother you some more, I'll list the steps I took along with screenshots. Good news: printer and scanner both work, at least for now. Thank you so much for all the assistance! If it's there, that should contain the versions of the Printer, Scanning, and EasyPhoto drivers/software. It will not harm your system.įinally, is there a folder entitled "Canon Utilities" within the Applications folder? There is one on my Mac MIni, which is the machine I have the printer connected to.
10.51.2.0, from Canon's site? (It's on that first link I posted above). Have you tried downloading and installing the Printer Driver software, MP160 CUPS Printer Driver Ver. It also works with just about all prior Mac OSs. Note also that for the EasyPhotoPrint EX software, V4.7.1 even works with OS 10.12, Sierra: It thus appears they were able to "upgrade" it (I guess via the drivers/software) to work with OS 10.5 through 10.7 for the Printer Driver, and OS 10.2 through 10.7 for the Scanner driver.
Another interesting fact is that printer was initially designed to with Mac OS 10.2.8 through 10.4.x: Obviously, Canon updated the Scanning Drivers beyond what is on the CD you have, as the version is 12.13.3, with a date of 8/5/11.
As the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".Īgain, on Canon's site, for your printer, here is what it says regarding Printer Drivers and Scanner Drivers for Lion (OS 10.7): You previously stated that the scanner works on your Mac right now, so for whatever scanning drivers/software is on your system now, I would not "mess" with it.
