Linux printer drivers for Canon S300 ? (gutenprint: missingdriverfiles)
Hello,
have installed an Ubuntu-Linux; the printeris Canon S300. Canon has no driver written for it. The gutenprint-project's documentation says that there is a driver bjc-s300, but it is NOT installed on the Ubuntu-distribution (which comesalong with gutenprint 5.0). So, where to get thesses files from? (Or any other idea to use this printer?) TIA, Oliver |

TIA, Oliver Uninstall Ubuntu's version of gutenprint, download the gutenprint 5.0 source code from gutenprint.org, and compile it. The bjc-s300 driver IS there. Alternatively, get the Turboprint drivers from turboprint.de. They are commercial drivers, but for home use on some printers, they can be used free of charge - I don't know if the S300 is one of the free ones or not ( I do know the iP4000 driver isn't ). If it's not one of said free ones, there's a 40 Euro charge. In any case you can download and try them for free - print out a sample page or photo - if there's a Turboprint logo on the printout, you need to pay the fee, otherwise not. Al Preston |
