The printer works well under debian but it was difficult to set up. The driver from Canon comes with no support and I had to hunt around on the web for installation scripts and a new driver. It does not recognise postscript but instead uses CAPT. Once the setup woes were over, I've been quite happy with the results, but you should check the availability of a driver before you buy. Cheers, Rob Hurlethanks rob,hunted down a driver (canon) on their nz-site. try first the automatic searching 'mechanism' on :613.reg., steef
