Canon MP620B printer
« on: January 02, 2010, 11:48:31 AM »
I am having troubles in setting up the canon mp620b printer. I do not see this printer listed in draktools. There is the mp610 listed there and I tried that but it does not do anything..

Thanks in advance

Perhaps this link might help. It seems to offer support for the mp620 as well.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp610linux

If that does not provide enough support, then there is also a reasonably priced commercial solution called Turboprint. I have a Canon MP830 which was not not fully supported when I started using PCLinuxOS 2007 and I used Turboprint. The MP830 is supported in PCLinuxOS 2009, so it is perhaps also a matter of time. Here is the link to Turboprint: http://www.turboprint.info/
