Re: printing stopped working--any ideas?
I have one of these printers. The only way I ever got
it working was using gimp-print(?) and CUPS. lpr and
all of that wouldn't work. Also with this setup the
quality was awful. It would only do greyscale. When I
hooked the same printer to a Win9x computer with the
Canon drivers it printed just fine. The printer has
since run out of ink and I haven't gotten around to
spending another $35 for ink for the $80 printer. I had
this working around 4-6 months ago.
