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...
Actually, I found a much simpler way to solve my problem:
1) Add the printer as a windows printer from the pref pane, selecting the Gutenprint driver
2) Send it a test page, and watch it get stuck with "Authentication required"
3) Open "Keychain Access" in OSX (use spotlight)
4) Make sure all the network login passwords for smb://server are correct
5) Release the job and watch it print.
I had a stale password (had updated some passwords on the NV+), and it was therefore failing to authenticate.
