Does my Canon MP730 need new driver?

Nov 3, 2005 1:41PM PST

After switching from PC to Mac and hooking up my MP730 my prints all turn out at about 50% or smaller, jammed up into a corner of the letter size sheets. I've looked through all the preferences, print menus, etc to no avail. It happens everytime, no matter what the program is I'm printing from - Word, a Web page, Photoshop, etc. This never happened when hooked up to my PC.
I can't find drivers for the MP730 on Apple's site, so don't know what to do or whom to contact. Advice anyone?

Is it Mac compatible? If so, go to the manufacturer's website and download the Mac drivers from there and install them. Evidently Mac "plug & play" didn't handle that model right.

and life goes on...

MP 730 PC to MAC
Jun 3, 2006 1:38PM PDT

Hello, I have been using the MP 730 and tried to print from my mac yesterday and it appears not to work (as last posting stated, I get an output of 1/4 of the real size....

Just happend so wondering if anyone as found a solution?

With regards to the PC to MAC message, I have been the happiest man since I purchased the new MacBook Pro. It is an amazement every day, I wonder how I could ever switch back. You will rediscover your day at work. I spend 8 hours a day on it and it is like going to work in a a nice Mazzeratti...never crashes and can handle any doc. (the Entourage from Microsoft Office has many more feeatures than my old outlook 03....just amazing. Guys, Go for it. Mac rocks.

Hope someone has follow up on the MP730 issue with MAC.

Thanks!

Print on a MP730 to a Mac
Jul 18, 2006 1:48PM PDT

If you have a Canon Multifunction MP730 and switched to a Mac, you can indeed print to it (but not fax/scan) by buying a copy of PrintFab

At $100 it's not cheap, but it does a great job and works reliably.
