MF8080Wc & Apple Mac Pro

[GleanerL]

I can't get my Canon MF8080Wc to print with my Mac Pro.  I still can use my printer with my Windows XP. Tried to download everything I could.  Can't come up with an appropriate driver.

Hi GleanerL.

I'll be glad to assist you with this issue.

So that I can better assist you, I would like to ask a few questions.

1. Which version of the Mac OS X operating system are you running on your computer?
2. Are you connecting the printer to your computer wirelessly over the network, or directly with a USB cable?

I look forward to your reply.  Should you need immediate assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

Hi Patrice,

I am running OS X Version 10.9.2

I will use a USB Cable.

Thank you!

Patrice,

Thanks for the info.  Printer is up and running now.  Two information items.  I noticed that I didn't give the correct Model.  Should be MF8080Cw.  I found that I actually already had managed to get the correct drivers downloaded, but I wasn't getting to the correct file to find the MF Printer Installer pkg. Thank you again.  The Forum worked well.
