Rick069 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Since linux doesn't directly support my particular printer (Canon Pixma ip2000), I will assume that there is a way to compile a program so that it can work with liunx. Am I right and if I am, how could it be done by someone who is not tecnically inclined? Turboprint isn't an option right now since I'm broke as s**t.

aioshin Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 how would you set it up anyway?, is it that you want to run your printer locally or via network thru an MSbox host? If via network hosted on a box running MS, try this link, it may help .... http://mywebpages.comcast.net/heretrythis/hp3100/psemu.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick069 Posted March 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I intend to run it locally. I'm just a regular home computer user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) well, if you've finished googling and dont find anything that can solve your probs with it, try your printer vendor, you may email them if they can provide or answer your problem about it.... Â i had problems also with the canon printer we have here at work, I tried googling on it but it says its a kind of win-printer, so the solution I found is the one that i posted previously Edited March 21, 2005 by aioshin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Seems that there is a limited support under regular linux printing. See this link http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/can...4q4/001733.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick069 Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I took a look at that post and I configured my canon ip2000 pixma printer and the driver for the BJC-4100. It seems to work just fine with that particular driver. Now what I have to do is figure out how it prints photographs. Any suggestions on software I can use to print photographs for linux or does linux already have software for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 If you mean by photographs just plain old jpegs, any image viewer with print option should be able to do that. Gqview, Kuickshow, even GIMP can do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
