    printing to a network printer in fedora core 2

    Hi Bill You are a Genius! It worked like a charm. All along I've been trying to install using CUPS with a browser "http://localhost:631/admin" , but it would install and print blank pages and junk. I was getting confused at which options to choose for "device", and "device url" as most of them seemed be the right one. Also it seems CUPS doesn't have drivers for canon coz it wasn't listed among the available drivers. Plus I didn't know what port to use on the printer. Most printers seem to use 9100, apparently canon doesn't mine uses 515. Anyway I think CUPS is a great tool if only they could add a feature that auto-detects the port on the printer. I also think that canon should improve their support for Linux, I downloaded a file from their site but failed to install it. It kept crashing at some point. Well you have made my day. I had almost given up, a big thumbs up to you mate!
  2. Hi everyone, could someone please help. I have just installed Fedora Core 2 but have failed to intall a canon iR2800 network printer. The printer has a NIC with an IP, and is connected to the network, windows PCs can print to it. How do I get FC2 to print to the same printer? any ideas?
