I would suggest and wait for a little bit as Gutsy does have better printing support, the other thing you could do is try the beta now as a live cd and check if the printer works.

I've been using the TurboPrint driver since May with no problems. Now it won't print - I've got a bug listed on Launchpad (#138473), and the status is incomplete; it seems to be a problem with gnome-cups-manager. So at the moment I'm copying articles to my pen drive and printing in Windows - not a major problem, but with me and three students using it, I can see it becoming a real pain. So would I be better in the long run switching to a "supported" printer, such as an HP - would I be less likely to get problems? I really like my Canon, but switching OS just to print isn't my idea of fun! I did see a Gutsy screenshot which showed the Canon IP3000 as default, so maybe support will be better in a couple of weeks time :) but I can't remember where that screenshot was :( TIA Dianne -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
