RE: Problem with printer Canon BJC 4300
I've always said that a little research before a purchase will
save one grief. In any case. I have a BJC 4400 (which also
emulates a 600) working fine. What I did is grab pdq and xpdq. I
got the debs from unstable but I'm running woody. Install them
then go to www.linuxprinting.org and get the pdq drivers for the
4300. Then just follow the pdq directions to install it. It just
sets in your home diretory and you point xpdq and it and call it
the default printer. Make a sym link from /usr/bin/pdq to
/usr/bin/lpr and most apps do the right thing. Also you might have
to play with permissions on the port you want to print from. There
is really good docs on the linuxprinting website.
