Hi: Still running a very old but capable Canon Pixma Pro 9000. Does anyone make a print driver to function with the new Silicon Macbook Pro 14, running Monterey? I've had zero luck, including a 45min. call with a canon rep. Tried Apple's site, tried Canon's site.

I keep an old Windows PC running to drive the same printer. As far as I know there is no way to use the 9000 on a current generation Mac.

Yeah, it is somewhat irritating. I have an older (Intel), Macbook Air that works just fine for rudimentary printing, but that's about it. Not good for high end color profile printing thru Photoshop or C1Pro. I just wonder if there are ANY printers available (higher end with multiple color cartridges) that I can hard wire (USB-C?) to my Silicon MBPro? I don't want a printer that is wireless data transfer only.
IF anyone has any thoughts, I'd be ok with investing in a newer-technology inkjet; Canon or Epson.

The Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 supports Ethernet (and wireless). Pigment printer, 10 inks. A3+.
The Canon PRO-200 supports USB and Ethernet (and wireless). Dye printer, 8 inks. A3+.

Thank you Simon: I took a look at these 2 printers. Very formidable. I am also going to take a look at the Epson line, which I had eons ago before I switched to the 9000. I'm not selling my prints for archival use, so I think I'd probably go with the lower cost Canon option, when it comes down to making a decision.
