I have the aforementioned camera and I have just purchased a PiXMA 8500.
Wishing to test the PB capability, I hooked my 350D up to the printer using
the cable that was supplied with the camera. The printer appeared to
recognise the camera (the printer's LED flashed once, just like the manual
states it's supposed to), and I attempted to select print from the controls
on the camera but, although I could specify the type of print and whether I
wanted the date and shot number on the image, the print icon on the camera's
LED screen wasn't available. I have read several FM, the one supplied with
the printer, the one supplied with the camera and the PDF user's guide on
the PiXMA installation CD.
Canon's website lists the PiXMA as being able to talk to the 350D and vice
versa, but it isn't happening.
Does anyone know of a marriage guidance counsellor for printers and cameras?
Mind you, I've had Epson software that won't recognise my Perfection 4990,
but Canon software that will, so I suppose anything's possible.
Ironically, I was given a little PictureMate for Christmas and they speak to
each other.
Could someone please tell me why a Canon camera won't talk to a Canon
printer, but it will t an Epson?
The camera is talking to the computer and I can download images directly
from the CF card (which is what I am doing at the moment).
I'm incredibly confused.
I ummed and arred about whether to post this here or
alt.comp.periph.printers, but decided this was probably the better group.
