spiedra Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 My suggestions: -Google for the driver or packages to install to get the printer working. -Try every single canon driver in harddrake. You'll find some drivers for different models may work for this one, or: -Try using Turboprint. Turboprint would be the last option to go with when all others fail. They charge a little money, but yu can try an evaluation version to make sure it will work before committing something. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 hi to all, this was posted I think very long time ago... since no one tried to figure out how to solve this, aside from spiedra, so I just told myself, nevermind, I?l just share my files to a windowze box and print the file from there.... actually, I was googling and googling but all says that lbp800 canon is a pure win printer... until when I read just this morning the post of Sellis, I wondered, what if I'll try again looking for my printers driver, besides, its been along time, maybe someone has come-up how to solve my printer problem... and so.. Oh my god, I stumbled to this link... http://mywebpages.comcast.net/heretrythis/hp3100/psemu.html It really solves my problem,... hehe, its really amazing coz, you will see there "March 04".. that? my birth date... hehe, btw... by just following the guide lines... now I can print anything from my Mandy10.1 to the Canon LBP 800 connected to a windows 2000 pc... whoever creates the Idea... thanks... I just wondered, how come I never find this before.... maybe, I'm just a lazy googler... and.. hehe, I've just noticed...This was my first post....
