[opensuse] Canon IP90V printer
Have a Canon IP90V color printer that I use when traveling. I have tried all of the print drivers suggested by various parties on the internet. None of them work properly. I either have to futz around to get the size correct or the printing comes out so light you cannot read it. Print preview shows up OK, but it is sure not what you get on the output. This printer works great and Macbook with OSX 10.4.9 which also uses cups. Tried finding a PPD file on the Macbook, but could not find it. Why does it work with Macbook and not Linux when they are both using cups? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Have you tried to edit printer preferences in YaST printer setup? From your description it seems that default settings are not good. If it is so, you can report it as a bug against openSUSE version that you use. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Have you windows driver disk? The ppd would be hidden in some dll I guess. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have no time to try right now, but for monitors it was possible to use windows "driver" ie. specification using "Driver disk" or similar named button in YaST module for monitor setup. Can you check is this the case with the printers? -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
