Full Discussion: Printer/Plotter support for Canon

I think you're on the right track. There is another option. Get a support contract on your existing hardware. Or, locate remanufactured printer that can become a drop in replacement. If it's the same model number, etc.. you maybe able to export the config and import to the replacement device. Then you don't have to deal with the printer setup at all from the OS side of things.

Out of curiosity, what's the CAD program name? You might be able to check with the manufacturer and see what they recommend.
