Default Printers campatible with Linux?
Well I have a canon i250 printer and I can't get it to work with Linux. Any ideas from where I can get the drivers or something?

When you plug in the printer what happens? When you try to print a document or something no printers are found?

How are you setting up the printer? You should be able to use a generic type driver.

What Linux are you in? Some have custom apps to install printers.

If you do end up needing a driver you should be able to get one here

Canon is usually pretty good about using generic printer languages (UNLIKE LEXMARK!!! DIE LEXMARK DIE!!)

Lol. What is wrong with lexmark? And what do you mean by 'generic printer languages'? Do you mean drivers?

Have you tried their website? They might have a driver pack for Linux there.
