Re: Omni Drivers for a Canon Printer
Thank you very much! I did not find Omni drivers though. However, I did
find very detailed instructions on how to modify the default
configuration for a Canon S800 printer that is using gimp-print drivers
that makes an Canon S520 run. So I decided to give it a shot.
I found in the Gimp-print drivers in my Ports so installed them. Then
got the Cups up and running. The test print was so much better than what
my omni drivers with a Canon S8500 can do on the Linux side that I went
over to the Linux side and changed them as well.

I do not know if this will be of any help or not, but you might want to
check it out. This is the URL where I located a driver for my Canon S630
printer.

Good Luck!

Omni Drivers for a Canon Printer
I dual boot FreeBSD 5.2.1 with Redhat Linux 9. I am trying to set up my printer which is a Canon S520 to print on the FreeBSD side. Running apsfilter SETUP I can get the printer to respond but the quality of the test prints have been poor. On my Linux side, however, the printer runs fine using one of the Cannon BJP printers and a Omni print driver. When I ran apsfilter SETUP in FreeBSD I found the same printer but I don't have the Omni drivers installed. I've searched through my installation disks and looked through the ports but did not find any reference to Omni drivers. Where would I find these drivers? Are they in the Ports under a different name? Or should I just break down and buy a new printer? If there is another way to get this printer up an running, I'm willing to give it a try.
