      I've seen where you can share a generic Post Script driver on a 64bit Windows server where the MAC's can talk to it but it's a very basic driver and won't have any finishing features or things like that. I'm not sure what driver the IT guy used (when I saw it) but you can try a PS driver. Not sure what a "ufr" driver means. Must be a Canon thing.

      How many MAC's are we talking about? I usually load MAC drivers individually if there aren't too many because of the Windows/MAC communication barrier when it comes to print drivers.

      If anyone knows please chime in. I'd love to get an answer to this one myself.

          Canon Support:

          This environment (printer sharing from Mac OS X) is not officially supported by Canon.
          It is recommended that the Canon drivers be installed locally on each Mac OS X computer. Follow the instructions for your specific driver, device, and OS.

          Printing in this manner may work in your environment when using the PPDs (Canon PPDs or Fiery PPDs), rather than the drivers (PS drivers, UFRII drivers, or Fax drivers). However, it is not officially supported by Canon.

              Ultra Fast Rendering (UFR) is a page description language (PDL)

              UFR print drivers are written by Canon for Canon MFDs
