Hi. I have a Cannon i550, with no manual. Can't see any driver on apsfilter menu or reference in DSLWiki - "how to set up a printer .....". I tried "cannon capsl" under miscellaneous - no luck. Any suggestions most welcome. There are some results from Google search but way too complicated for this non techie/ WinDummy. 1. ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux has a driver, what to do with it? 2. http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=10540 complicated instructions for ubunto including a conversion??? 3. http://www.linuxprinting.org/canon-faq.html#q_8_1 more complicated instructions - for debian? 4 http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-i550 loofs iffy but better explanation of CUPS? Is apsfilter the same as other similarly named programs? No clue so any thoughts are much appreciated
Question 2 - does printer have to be plugged in when system booted up? This can be inconvenient since the printer is shared with our main computer by simply switching the cable. Usually cable is connected to the main computer.
THanks.
