Hello, l have recently purchased a macbook air laptop and l am trying to figure out how to get it to print to my canon Pixma MP480 printer. Any suggestions??

Try printing to PDF and then printing the PDFs to the iP6000D. Make sure you're using the most recent drivers from Canon instead of Apple's. For what it's worth this problem was noted with CUPS drivers on that generation of iP Pixmas both in OS X and Linux. Given the age and the fact the most recent driver's designed for Snow Leopard, it might be time to move on to a newer printer.

clean cartridge and contacts

Hello,

Yes you can use the PG-510 with PIXMA MP480. The cartridge works also with many other pixma printers.

Best wishes,

Hello
This can be due to a feeder wrong setting on the printer or on your PC: your printer tries to take paper from the back feeder, whereas your paper is on the front feeder....
try to check these settings in your PC and on your printer, and retry to print, hoping this helps

the cable having some problem pls check..

Have a look at the canon usa site:http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=238&modelid=17160#DownloadDetailActThis link should take you to the canon support page, let it load and it will come up with the driver download center.In the area titles "Driver/Software Selection"Use the drop down menu and select "Mac OS x"This will bring up a list of current drivers for the Mac.The most recent one for the your printer is:MP480 series Printer Driver Ver. 10.6.0.0 (Mac OS X CUPS)If there is also a problem with your scanner then you will also need:MP480 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.8.1 (Mac OS X)Just make sure you look carefully before clicking the driver as there are also spanish versions on the list..I hope these help.Mike
