 gtkam via gphoto sees the camer as a "Picture Transport Protocol" device. The choice in the camer list is "USB PTP Class Camera" Lphoto immediately recognizes it on rescan and even identifies it by the correct name. In either case, pulling the photos off is very easy and reliable. This camera uses Compacy Flash (CF) as the storage media. I have a SCSI card reader. I can just plug in the card and read the pictures from /dev/sda1 on the mount point of my choosing, in this case /mnt/card. I prefer this method but my wife likes to use the USB connection. The camera stores lots of extended information in the JPG picture file such as the settings used to take the picture and other information. I have not found a Linux based app that will read and maintain this information once the file is in the photo organization application. I am investigating fotoon (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=10900) and BINS (http://bins.sautret.org/) to get this capability. It is a very nice camera. The LCD screen is on a pivot and rotate hinge in contrast to most others that have the screen embedded in the back of the camera. The advantage of this is two fold: You can close the screen facing into the camera which protects it from damage and you can swing it out to see yourself if you are taking a picture of yourself. The disadvantage may be that the hinge is a weak spot that could eventually break. I bought the 3-year warrenty for $50 extra bucks so I'm good.

 Works right away with the KDE printer configuration utilities. Full control over resolution and other print settings via the GUI tools or CUPS. Used the foomatic driver, as previously mentioned. Cheap ink at extracartriges.com. About $6 a cartridge. Had USB issues with a previous motherboard where the printer would "go away" from the USB connection requiring a restart of the printer via CUPS or even a reboot. This has never happened with a new motherboard now so I don't think it was the printer's fault. Good, inexpensive printer with decent output and inexpensive ink.
