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
