-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you are running a fairly recent version of kde, you may have an easier time if you run the add printer wizard. On my system it is under the kde "K" menu -> "Print System -> "Add Printer..."

It looks like there is a driver for your canon, though I have only owned HP printers in the last few years (I just picked up an HP 2200 DN from VFX, and it rocks under linux). If the KDE wizard does not help or is not applicable, a good place to start is this website: http://linuxprinting.org/ bogi wrote: > check in (my system, mandrake 9.1) > /etc/cups/cupsd.conf > > make sure that: > > Browsing On > > and you may want to set > > BrowseInterval 30 > BrowseDeny All > BrowseAllow @LOCAL > > Now to the task of actually getting cupsd running on your system > > /etc/init.d/cups status > > note that your init scripts may be in a different place in a debian based > distro. > > This should tell you if it is running, now that you know, and have made > changes to the config file, you might want to restart or start cups if it was > not running. > > note the line > > #Port 80 > #Port 443 > Port 631 > > port 631 should be your friend in this case, > > > fire up your browser and point it to localhost:631 > > > now fork around it will ask you about username and password, use root and > your > root password.
