To Carlos, et al: In looking at my manual, which I only have on disk, I can find NOTHING to make Suse and my printer to work together in any fashion. It mentions a Windows and an Apple Mac driver, but it does NOT give any information on what emulators or substitutes will work with it.
Have you looked at linuxprinting.org?
I have already tried the BJC-600 substitute, to no avail. I have been led to believe that there is a gimp driver that will make it work, but even finding the driver does no good, as there are no installations instructions worth mentioning. I am not a programmer, nor can I mindread software, and need to know what to do to get it installed. I am not going to upgrade to SuSe anything, and don't use the excuse that SuSe cannot make a driver: Mandrake can and does!!
SUSE does not make a driver and , no, Mandrake does not either. They use the PPD files provided by linuxprinting.org and your printer, BJC-2100 is supported in CUPS, LPD, LRPng, gnuLPR, PPR, PDQ and no spooler. Did you google for linux support for the BJC-2100? try: http://linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-BJC-2100 You might try to help yourself instead of crying about your lack of programming experience (I have none). If you think that Mandrake is so good, WHY are you looking at SUSE? No one is bending your arm to make you try SUSE. BUT, if you decide to try SUSE and need help, you should ask. But we do not want to hear you knocking something you know nothing about that we like. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
