Yes, that's the kind of things I have read from Canon users, at least when you want to get the device working in Linux and despite the good or bad quality of their products (which I won't comment about) the worst IMO is the lack/bad support from this manufacturer to Linux and for that reason it has been completely ditched from my list of possible candidates when I look for new hardware ;-( Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
