Yes, true, installing a printer on Linux is really something I prefer doing on Linux than on Windows, now.

And I'll remember the "kicking a dead whale on the beach" expression

Problem is, my printer is unsupported in Linux (Canon Pixma MX700). I could not find a working driver. In my older linux version I had to install a special driver found in the backyards or Internet and re-compile CUPS. It worked. I have to find again that driver!

But linux is still better than windows anyway! lolll

Does anyone have the MX700 working yet?

Edit: Yeah, I finally got the printer working using the TurboPrint PIXMA MP520 driver (MP510 works aswell) Not a final solution, but a good workaround!

Edit2: Update! It seems like I managed to get the MX700 print function fully working up to 4800dpi! Works with the TurboPrint AND the official Canon drivers! Modified the TurboPrint driver (Base MP510) and the official one (Base MP520 V2.80)

Je croyais qu'il y avait une version gratuite de TurboPrint. Elle est peut-être avec un décompte, par contre.

Mais si ta version payante fait la job (je ne sais pas si ta license est pour la dernière version), alors d'ac, contre une bonne bière belge que je ne sais pas où on pourrait trouver (je ne suis pas un expert dans les bars) mais que je suis sûr que toi oui!

ppmt, je vais tester la version 2.15 en 30-day trial. Si ça fonctionne bien alors on s'arrangera de quoi.

MX700 is suported by TurboPrint since 2.15 version or so.

TurboPrint - printer drivers for Linux - Canon PIXMA MX700

TurboPrint 2.15-1 (11-Mar-2010)

Not the scanner though, need Sane for that. http://mp610.blogspot.com/
