Canon Printer

[dtsteinb]

I am new to MAC's and I want to setup my Canon MX310. I have it shared from my Windows laptop. It seems like I am mapped to it and select a generic PCL or Postscript but nothing prints. When I go to Canon's website it says there is no driver for this.
Is there something I am missing?
I have a MacBook Pro.

There appears to be a driver for mavericks, I would try that.

Ok, I will try that. I wasn't sure if that would cause any issues if I used a driver from a older version.

Tried this for Pixma MP600. DriversCollection.com had the driver, however OSX 10.9 refuses to use it because it's not from Apple's store

This has been a long standing problem. I came to this roadblock about a year ago. It's a puzzle how DriversCollection has the driver, but Canon doesn't??? Would OSX 10.9 refuse to use it if it came from Canon?

The most important thing you are missing is - The drivers provided by manufacturers of USB-only inkjet printers are nearly all restricted to USB Only! The exception is that USB-only printers connected to Airport devices or other Macs can be printed to using Apple software (I think it's part of Bonjour).
In Apple (and CUPS print system) documents, these drivers are called "monolithic." Meaning they have the USB part built-in, and can't talk through any other comm protocol in OS X's CUPS print system.

Printers which have current drivers for OS X:
