Idea #2728: Printer driver

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #190: work on printer drivers.
Written by raoulsana the 3 Mar 08 at 13:02. Category: Others. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
I'am interrested in Linux world but the first difficulty is to find Driver for my Printer like canon MP series
I know that is not the problem of Linux Disto...

In french

Je suis très intéressé par le monde de linux mais ce qui m'empêche de faire le saut c'est le problème des drivers d'imprimante multifonction (ex : canon MP Séries)
j'ai bien compris que le problème vient des constructeurs et que les distro linux ne peuvent rien faire. mais tant que ce problème ne sera pas résolu je pense que cela rebutera plusieurs autres utilisateurs de faire le saut.

Cordialement

Raoulsana from France

Ubuntu should check (or at least link to) the vendor's original site (like Canon) for (closed) drivers, and offer them for easy installation as well.

My Canon Pixma MP170 works with MP150 driver? Which Canon you have?

I shouldn't have put questionmark after driver. No way to edit post.

I have got the MP210 one.
Can you scan with your driver ?
