We use Canon Copiers @ work for our high-quality print jobs. Recently I wanted to lookup what driver version an OS X machine was using. Here's what I did to look up the driver version (only tested for PS/PostScript drivers):
- Open up terminal
- SSH into the remote machine
ssh user@machine-name - Authenticate (password etc)
- type:
cat /Library/Printers/Canon/CUPSPS2/Utilities/Canon\ CUPS\ PS2\ Printmonitor.app/Contents/Info.plist|more - Look for the section titled
- Look for the line that says:
CFBundleShortVersionString - Look at the next line:
In my case it reads:3.31 - This means that the PS driver version is 3.31
Tip: The reason I looked in /Library/Printers/Canon/CUPSPS2/Utilities/Canon CUPS PS2/ is that there is an App there for Copier monitoring (and Apps on OS X are bundles that typically include plist's and binaries)
- Navigate to the Canon directory under Printers
- /Library/Printers/Canon
- Navigate to the /CUPSPS2/Utilities directory
- Navigate inside of 'Canon CUPS PS2 Printmonitor.app'
cd Canon\ CUPS\ PS2\ Printmonitor.app/ - Navigate to the 'Contents' folder
- Type 'cat Info.plist'
