Canon i350 printer

Hi!
Does anyone know how to get a i350 running under Linux (Suse 8.2)??
Does any printing system provide drivers that at least allow printing texts?

There are no linux drivers yet for the cannon i-series printers (i330, i550 etc). There is a proprietery driver available from turboprint (http://www.turboprint.de/english.html). I'm using it for my cannon i550. As much as I hate to pay for software, it works well.

Ok, thx! I've already tried to run the printer with this driver but it did'nt work...

Sorry to bring this back up but did you ever find a way of getting this printer running? It's a pain because being a student I need a printer can't really afford a new one and I don't want to have to use Windows.

Any answer is gratefully recieved.

I've tried out a lot, but not one single piece of paper with i350-ink on it yet :-(
I hope that someone will develop drivers soon, it is getting on my nerves to reboot and load windows only to print something out....

That's a bummer. Someone told me to check www.cups.org.
I've tried loading the site but it keeps timing out.

If I find anything I'll post it here.

I've tried out almost every cups-canon driver - cups is the standart printing system of suse
