Hi

I've been trying to print to the printer in my home, a Canon MF5600, connected to XP pc. Using Cups/Samba I have met no succes.

Could someone guide me through this problem.

Seems like I got dealt the worst brand for unix support... and the unsupported printer from that brand....

Furthermore, the ufr2 ( aur ) package doesn't include my printer's .pdd file. So... is there a way around this... a alternative driver... or must I make my own. If so... how?

I would really like to chuck out this printer and just buy a supported one. But its not mine or my network. Any help, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
