Canon 250i printer
by Leslie Katz 21 Apr '06

You may have already swept by this, but just in case: 1. http://linuxprinting.org was very helpful to me when I got my printer going; and 2. there's an O'Reilly book by Carla Schroder called "Linux Cookbook". There was up on the Web, when I was setting up my printer, a sample chapter. It was about printing and, again, it was very helpful to me.

Canon 250i printer

Please can anyone help me - I have a canon 250i printer. I believe that you can get it to run with Redhat and Fedora - there are a whole span of drivers on the Canon site - as a relatively unskilled Linux user, I just cannot get the printer working using Ubuntu (which I love by the way). Does anyone know how to get the damn thing to work with Ubuntu? Cheers John

Thanks.I am going to get the release as soon as it becomes available.. Can anyone tell me is it possible to run a "cleanup" programme after a failed exercise. All those error messages concern me a bit. John.. ----- Original Message Follows ----- > > Given the current difficulties with wifi, I have decided > > to shelf this project until a later time.

Given the current difficulties with wifi, I have decided to shelf this project until a later time. It is not my preffered option but I am able to use windows in the meantime. Thanks John > OK. Maybe it's time to try an alternative approach! > Support for these cards will be in Linux 2.6.17 in a much > better format. Until now wireless in Linux has been a real > mess.

It will be 2.6.17-rcx-gity where x and > y are some number
