Problems printing with OS X Lion and 4.1.18 ***SOLVED***
I've read and read all the workarounds to get my Canon MP530 printer via my NV+'s print spoller to work under Lion. I've tried every configuration of drivers and "tricks" to get the printer to talk to...

just fine with 4.1.7 and Snow Leopard. is important that I can the print spooler name correctly from Frontview or that just an arbitrary bit?
On my first round of testing, I downloaded all the printer drivers for my printer from Apple; these did not work. Eventually I got my MP530 working by using the PrintFAB driver from them. They have a trial; you should see if they works with your setup.
I definitely believe the 3rd party hardware makes should provide free, working drivers for Lion, but since Canon's printer drivers never worked satisfactorily over the network ( as in attached to a Windows PC on my network), I was happy that I got the MP530 working at the best possible level with PrintFAB.
