Canon mp210 +beginner...
so I have puppy 3.01 and like to use it because works better than windows in my old pentium. but I have also printer and have no idea how to make it work. read about that should use cups or something like that.. but main problem is that I have used puppy only 2 weeks and it is my first experience about linux. So could somebody tell in vere S I M P L E text how to make it work. Or should I print only using win2000, it woooorrrkkss but quiiiiiiiiiiiite slowllllllllllllllllly... so u understood what i meant? THank U
Hi Haidi,
The openprinting.org site, here,
says that canon has released drivers for your printer, here.
I've only packaged up the printer drivers, as I think getting the scanner working could be more of a problem, and we can maybe try crossing that bridge another day.
So basically, download the .pet from here (1Mbyte), install the .pet then, hopefully, if you start the cups-printer wizard, from the menu, it will detect the included .ppd file & give that as an option to install, & use, the 210.
Let us know how you get on.
