Much to my surprise, I've managed to get my Canon printer to work with my Ubuntu netbook.  Every time I asked about printers on the Ubuntu forum, I was led to believe that getting one to work was a job for a Bletchley Park code breaker. It turned out to be roll over simple. I was checking on getting printers to work with 'Mint'. As usual, lots of people were having complicated issues with the problem, when I read a post from a fella which basically said: "I just went to 'System'>'Admin'>Printing'.... clicked add printer. It found my printer, searched for drivers, installed the drivers and printed off a test sheet!"So, as the Ubuntu desktop is similar to the Mint one, I tried the same thing, and sod me it worked a treat! It's been rather a good day so far. Lovely xmas dinner, came home and solved two puter problems! |

Generally Canon printers aren't very Linux friendly so you have done well.
HP are usually the best choice.
I have a Samsung laser, a Lexmark laser and a HP all in one. Linux Mint just installs them, no driver disks needed.
I've been to the local Wetherspoons for dinner, £30 a head, wasn't bad and had three pints.
Just been out and had four pints of Sam Smiths Stout but that was enough for stomach in one day.
