Hi All,
I am running on Kubuntu Edgy and bought a Canon Pixma iP1300
printer. As usual, it doesn’t have a driver for Linux included in
the CD so I browsed the net for drivers. I found a driver but it is
in rpm. I just found out that rpm can be converted to deb package
using a utility called alien. I’ll try it out tomorrow and hoping
it would work.
Just a side note, I hope hardware manufacturers would also include
Linux drivers. I mean, I already gave them business by buying their
product, so what’s keeping them from supporting the OS I have so I
can use their product without headache.
just in case your thing doesn't work: try also cups (www.cups.org),
if it works for you. cups is Common Unix Printing System.
