Canon MP380 Printer Driver for iMac?

[JellyFish]

I have installed the Canon MP380 printer driver for my new imac but I cannot find it listed under the Canon model name in Printer Setup. All I see are "gimp beta" this or that.

When I try to print the text is too small. It's not filling up the standard size piece of paper I am printing on.

What am I doing wrong here??? This is very confusing.

I just checked Canon's support page and there is no record of an MP380. Are you sure you have the right model number?

MP830 maybe?

Did you click "More printers..." and look under USB connected printers?
