USB printer help


Just dug out my old canon bjc 4200 and a belkin parallel 2 usb adapter.

I cant seem to find the drivers for belkin as the only support on the cd and the web site is for windows 9x, the canon drivers i can get around but i was just wondering if anyone could help me in getting the adapter to work.

Im running mandrake 9.2 on my advent 7003 laptop

any help or advice would be great as i would like to see it work

thanks for you time.

I would think that the adpter neednt any drivers. but when you go to setup the printer
that is connected via usb, try to specify the correct device (/dev/XXX) for that usb port.
