Hello,

Just had a look at that link. They also use the ip2200 driver apparently. So if it works with that one, you must have done something wrong or have forgotten something. Since it's configured using CUPS in those instructions, you should be able to try that in your installation. The only thing you don't need to do is convert the package since Fedora is RPM based, if you can download and extract the indicated driver, you can install directly with rpm.

Kind regards,

Eric

i configured as said on ubuntuforums' link provided by you earlier and downloaded archive from link you provided.
I seem to move a bit ahead but when i try to print anything or even print test page from CUPS, then page is ejected blank.
What should i do now ?

Moreover i couldn't follow steps 5 & 6 !
No package like libgtk1.2 was found when i tried to install it using yum.

Code:

# gedit /usr/share/cups/model/canonip2200.ppd

Is this a shared printer on another machine, because if so he other machine has to accept connection.
