Since it's a few years old at this point, all the links in forum threads and such are dead. So I have a Pixma MP970 and had a really hard time finding any information for my model for changing the region.

(I also tried the steps as outlined in the Canon iP4000/iP5000 Service Manual achieved identical result.) Question: does there exist printer firmware software, something already written for a Windows or mac computer, that would allow me to change the BIOS settings via computer screen? Out of frustration, I bought a printer with CD/DVD printing capability, but nonetheless I want my iP5000 to work per your otherwise cool Instructable! Any ideas on the key press issue, and software for modifying the BIOS? Thanks. Releasing the Power button, the printer's Green LED blinks 15 times, then remains Green, and the status LED also lights Green. I get through your step b, up to finally releasing the Power button. In the mac's System Preferences, I clicked Print & Fax, then Open Print Queue > Info > Driver, and chose Canon PIXMA iP5000 - Gutenprint v5.1.3.

I've followed your instructions for removing the CD tray cover obtained a Canon oem CD (B) tray, and installed the European mac driver (mcpd-mac-ip5000-10_51_2-ea11.dmg). Hello, Using a mac, I want to be able to use a Canon PIXMA iP5000 printer to produce printable CDs and DVDs.

Next we need to install the drivers and software. Congratulations, your printer is now able to print directly to disks. You must press POWER or it will return to "JAPAN IPxxxx" with no CD-printing. To confirm the new settings and return to printing mode press POWER once. The new diagnostic sheet should show Cyan instead of Magenta signifying you correctly enabled CD-printing. Press RESUME once - the light will turn Orange. To see if your settings worked you may now print another diagnostic sheet. This changes the printer to "non Japan, CD-R Support, letter paper" mode. f.ğor this example we will choose "Non Japan CD-R Support Letter Paper" by pressing RESUME 5 times followed by POWER once. 1 times IPxxxx Japan - 2 times Not Japan no CD-r support a4 paper - 3 times Not Japan No CD-R support letter paper - 4 times Not Japan CD-R support a4 paper - 5 times Not Japan CD-R support letter paper - 6 times you wish to abort and get back to the first menu (Tip: Incase of warranty return you may want to reset the BIOS to the default which I believe is 2). Press RESUME this many times followed by POWER to pick one. You are in the Destination settings option. To get to the Destination settings press RESUME 5 times (the light will be orange) then press POWER once. Keep this sheet to compare to the one after you change the settings. (The Diagnostic sheet will list its ROM number and read "CDR SENSOR=OK" in red on the last line). If you are in Diagnostic mode the Diagnostic sheet will print. To be sure you are in the service mode before continuing press RESUME once - the light will turn Orange. Press RESUME again so the light turns green. You will notice the power light turn orange. While still holding POWER press RESUME once. Wait about 5 seconds before releasing RESUME but continuing to hold POWER. Hold down RESUME (Triangle pointed down) then push and hold down POWER. Turn off the printer but don't unplug it. Instructions for most other compatible printers can be found herehere. These instructions are for Pixma IP3000/4000/5000. Trust me, this looks way harder than it really is. Now we need to change the printer's BIOS to non-US (ie. A flat head screw driver About 5 minutes of time (10 minutes if you read all my dumb comments). You can tell because there is a fold down plate on the front of the printer (image 0B).
What you'll need: A Canon Pixma Printer that has the ability to print on disks.
Where applicable I will tell you where the models differ.
Although all of my testing is done on my Canon Pixma IP5000 this tutorial applies to several Canon printers with CD/DVD printing abilities. The original StevesForums post is now 77+ pages, so weeding through it to find what works and what doesn't work could possibly take 4-5 years. The reason I have this tutorial is to give what I have learned in a straight-forward how-to. Credit: The initial idea was found on StevesForums. Or you could buy one on ebay for about $20.

This tutorial describes how to make a cd tray for little or no money. Oh yeah, and obtain the Disk tray that obviously didn't come standard to us, as they did in Europe. Notice I said "disabled." Because the printers still have the feature all we need to do is enable it. European models have this feature already enabled but unfortunately for us Americans it has been disabled due to Canon not wanting to pay for the licensing to use the technology in North America. This tutorial describes how to use your Canon Pixma IPxxxx printer to print directly on printable CDs/DVDs.
