Hi all! I have an Canon LPB-810 laser printer. Does anyone know if there is a driver module for it anywhere? All help shall be richly rewarded!!!!!! (Except if you work for Canon. In which case you will be violently rewarded. *evil laugh*) ahem.....who me? a sadist? no!..... Richo

For information purposes: Altough many canon digital camera's are supported under linux, CANON refuses to share their camera communication specifications with opensource developers. So personally I don't consider CANON as LINUX friendly. I once bought a canon usb scanner, also didn't work.... Only received worthless customer support from canon... So it has been decided that I will never buy a canon again. As usual some things work under Linux and some don't. A willing manufacturer will make their devices work under Linux, but Canon doesn't. Personally I don't believe there is a driver for your printer available at this moment. Maybe in the future... This printer is supported by canon under windows 95/98/NT4.0 and up. So if you want to get it working, you'll have to go through a windows box. You could take the next steps: - Find an old computer; pentium II/266 64MB RAM/1GB harddisk is more than sufficient. - Put a netwerk card in it. - Install a windows operating system on the old computer (if it isn't installed already). - Use Samba to create a workgroup with the windows computer. - Tell the windowscomputer to share the printer with the Samba computer. - It should now be possible to print, via the windows computer. Personally, of all the operating systems for which canon gives support drivers for your printer I prefer NT 4.0. It's for Redmond software pretty stable and doesn't eat up all the system resources available. And since Microsoft decided to stop supporting NT4.0; they sell very cheap at internet auctions.. (Last week I saw one for less then 10 dollars).
