Hi, By now I have LinuxMint 14 Xfce Nadia 32 bit. My printer is a Canon Ip4500 and I don't remember how I managed to make it work. I am not a geek neither a nerd, just somebody who had some jobs in bank computer services long time ago. So when I don't remember how I did it, it means I ha no problem. But I tried to print from W7 to the same printer on XP and it was impossible.
I managed to print from an Xp via Samba, even it was less easy. I am very surprised by the giant step Linux has climb from Debian Potatoes till today. Everything is so simple : when I was in Delhi I had no problem to use my 3G Tata photon on Ubuntu and then on Nadia. And mainly, to make easier the compatibility between my computer and my wife'one I use...Windows. It means I don't know Linux. Windows is stuck when, Linux runs ? Today I opened the same small files with calc on Nadia, it was LO 3.6, and I has to wait 12 seconds instead of 50 seconds !
