Re: Adding Canon BJC 8200 to cupsys (Solved, sort of)

[Feng Tian <ftian@cs.wisc.edu>]

Hi,

After gunzip C/bjc-8200.ppd.gz can put bjc-8200.ppd in
/usr/share/cups/model (restart cupsys), I am able to install
the printer and printed a test page !!!  I still don't know
if gunzip helps or simply restart works.

Now my question is which the two ppd files should I use?
bjc-8200.ppd or BJC-8200-stp.ppd?  And there are many choices
in model now, which one should I use?
BJC-8200, CUPS+Gimp-print v4.2.0 (en) or
BJC-8200, Foomatic + stp-4.0 (en)?
Which is better?
 
Thanks.

Feng
