After installing Leopard, I didn’t do any printing for some time. When it came time to print on my Canon Photo Printer, the i9100 large format model, I couldn’t print (well). It would start-out fine, but stop mid-print. The processors in my G5 would rev-up, and all printing would stop.

I downloaded new Canon drivers after removing the old.

1. Go to /Library/Printers/.
2. Remove the Canon folder. I moved it to the ~/Desktop.
3. Install the new drivers from Canon.
4. Restart.
5. Add your printer. Mine is connected from USB to my Airport Extreme.
6. It works!

The step I think was important, and worked for someone on an Apple forum, was the removal of the OS X-installed drivers first.
