<br><br>To answer your questions:<br><br>(1) My printer is supported by linux. I can even print photos just not very good quality. I am trying to see if this software will help (I had to use the software on XP too to get the best quality-ridiculous I know).
<br><br>(2) When I run wine notepad and try to print. Nothing happens. I have attached var/log/cups/error_log but I have no terminal output to offer. Is there a command I could run when I try to print?<br><br>(3) I really would like for this software to work but it is definitely not necessary although I may try VMWare or QEmu. Wine was just the first I researched and decided to try. Honestly, I am trying everything I can think of before I just give up and buy an HP all-in-one (if I can find one that works PERFECTLY in Linux - no offense). If I can make either of these things happen, I won't even need access to a Windows box, much less a box of my own. I really like Linux - I just miss some printer functionality and it really is a Canon issue, not a linux issue. Not a huge deal but the printer is only six months old and was a good buy at the time. Honestly, I am going to be floored completely if I can make this work. There will be no end to the dancing, laughing, beer buying etc.....

You shouldn't use USB device directly. You should use CUPS subsystem only to<br>print from WINE. As I said earler if device isn't supported by the Linux you<br>cannot use it under WINE (only exception is tty or usb-tty devices). Try to
<br>run:<br><br>wine notepad<br><br> And try to print something. If this works then everything is OK. If it<br>doesn't then ask for farther help and don't forget to post the terminal<br>output.<br> If NotePad works and your program do not work then there is chances it cannot
<br>work with Windows *printer* and want to work with Windows *device* directly<br>instead. If you really need this then you can try VMWare (not-free) or QEmu<br>(free) instead of WINE.<br><br>On Saturday July 7 2007 03:20, M Thompson wrote:
