When searching the 'net for a fix, I discovered that this is not an uncommon occurrence, over multiple versions of Easy-PhotoPrint EX, at least. I had to un-install and re-install the printer before they could see it - despite the network tool seeing it, and the fact that it was a working printer installation. However, Canon Qick Menu and Easy-PhotoPrint EX each failed to find the printer. At least, the IJ Network Tool recognized the printer, and the printer was already working. I downloaded and installed the utilities, and things *sort of* worked. That's what happens when assuming, I guess. It did for the scanner drivers, after all. I assumed that downloading and installing the printer driver would also yield an installation of the utilities.

As I remember, there was no sign of the printer, either, until I discovered its IP address using my Wi-Fi router and brought it in manually (though I could be dis-remembering this puzzle-piece).Īll this seems to have happened because the printer's install CD was unreadable. Searching disk-wide for "IJ" found only scanning utilities that were installed with the scanner drivers.
In any case, none of that stuff is available. I must assume that "Quick Menu" ia a part of that tool. After uninstalling Drivers, download the latest Drivers from the Canon website or use a Driver Update Tool (see next section) for the Canon printer and install the Drivers. There is no IJ Network Tool installed anywhere in my Applications folder. You can also start up IJ Network Tool by clicking Network Settings from Device Settings & Maintenance on Quick Menu. Select Applications from the Go menu of Finder, double-click Canon Utilities > IJ Network Tool, and double-click the Canon IJ Network Tool icon. (Unfortunately, the manual is copy protected - and there appears to be no way to upload a screen shot here.
I found references to printer utilities that I should find if I looked in the Mac's "Applications" folder. I was trying to set the printer up over Wi-Fi.

While mucking, I browsed the manual PDF looking for clues. Though that didn't appear, either, without a fair amount of mucking about. Just as you say, the printer is there in the Printers & Scanners prefs. I guess it's not really right to say the driver isn't there. "Not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but if you go into System Preferences->Printers & Scanners you will see your printer."
