Canon imageclass MPC190 usb printer and slackware 9.1
 
Im trying to get my Canon imageclass MPC190 printer/scanner/copier to work under slackware 9.1.
I tried to use CUPS but there was no driver for this specific model of canon. Is there some other way to get the printer working?
Is there maybe a generic driver that might work?

thanks in advance for any help :)

From looking around on the internet it looks like there isnt any support for this printer under linux. :(

DAMN YOU MICROSOFT
:P

I am forced to use windows for printing.
And i also have to use ms word for an assignment for a subject at uni. Yes i *have* to use word, we have been getting taught how to use ms toys er i mean office at uni. in an IT course. This seems so stupid to me.

oh well

i would like the driver for mpc190 too.

Me too!
 
i too have tried installing the Canon MCP190 on Mandrake 10!!! very frustrating to not have a printer.

if anybody can find a driver, or even a suitable generic driver - i would love to hear about it.

thanks,

I wonder if the reason there is no driver is because no-one has made one yet or because Canon wont release the specs or something.

Maybe we'll have to get off our arses and learn how to code our own driver.
