Canon Imageclass MF5750


Can anybody tell me if there is any drivers available for the Suse Linux distribution for the Canon Imageclass MF5750 printer/fax/scanner/copier/etc? I am trying to help someone to set one up on Linux and need the drivers if available. Thank you...

Sorry to say, but Canon is one of the worst companies when it comes to Linux support. They don't write any drivers themselves, and also refuse to give out enough interface information for others to write them. I had a Canon scanner myself that's still unsupported now almost 4 years after I got it. I finally gave in an got an Epson all-in-one that is supported instead.

A quick search at SANE and LinuxPrinter.org shows nothing with that model number, so I think you're probably out of luck.
