Hi, I have this printer http://www.canon-europe.com/For_Home/Product_Finder/Multifunctionals/Multifunctionals/SmartBase_MPC400/index.asp?ComponentID=25527&SourcePageID=166550
not sure if it exists or have a different name outside Europe. Q1- does anyone know it (eventually with a different name) and made show up under gentoo with cups? Furthermore => I have printer usb in kernel (usb is fine with digital camera and pda). => dmesg gives usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 => lsusb gives Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04a9:2611 Canon, Inc. => I don't have /dev/usb (and therefore no /dev/usb/lp0) Q2 is it because the printer is not known that no /dev/usb/lp0 shows up? I read quite a lot off forums already and wonder if the best would be to replace it instead of spending more time. Q3. what multifunctional (basic/cheapest one) would you suggest to replace it? tx a lot for your help Gildas -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
