Hi,

   On every reference I can find of this printer it says Windows and MAC 
compatible - as there's no mention of Linux or any other OSes, I suspect 
this is a Win-Printer, Which at present won't work with eComStation. As 
CUPS for OS/2 is developed, such printers "might" be supported, but 
until then we need to make sure we buy "real printers".

  Since the Canon is working, I'd say it is probably a "real printer" 
that is driven by a printer protocol rather than binary controls from 
the PC.

  Often manufacturers have both Host-based (the official term for 
win-printers) and full printers in their range. Often the "bargain 
basement" models are the Host based printers as they can save about $50 
of electronics in the printer by moving the page creation work to the 
windows or MAC driver.


Cheers/2

   Ed.
