Does Mountain Lion support Canon Pixma printers? I've recently re-installed Mountain Lion after I upgraded from Lion on a 2009 iMac.
Before the reinstallation, my printer, a Canon Pixma iP3000, worked perfectly and out of the box &mdash; no drivers to install, supported by the OS.

Now, instead, my Mac doesn't have Canon drivers at all, and I can't find any on the internet.

How do I use my printer with my Mac?



Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier:   iMac10,1

CUPS Version:   1.6.2 (cups-327.6)

System Version: OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
Kernel Version: Darwin 12.4.0


This is what the OS sees of the printer (it's just USB data):

iP3000:

Product ID: 0x1094
Vendor ID:  0x04a9  (Canon Inc.)
Version:     1.10
Serial Number:  A4319B
Speed:  Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer:   Canon
Location ID:    0x06400000 / 3
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA):  2
1284 Device ID: MFG:Canon;CMD:BJL,BJRaster3,BSCCe;SOJ:TXT01;MDL:iP3000;
                CLS:PRINTER;DES:Canon iP3000;VER:1.10;STA:20;FSI:03;
Apple has moved the printer drivers out of the OS and made them available on a separate page. Very unfortunately they don't mention the exact printer models, nor that the pacakge is for Snow Leopard on the page so they are hard to find with Google.
