Hello !


The Canon Pixma 4200 with CUPS :

1. I am using the PPD file for this printer from the Canon site + 3
i386 filter RPMs.
Printing works, but i don't have all the options from the Windows driver.
Is there another PPD file available somewhere ?

2. I need the 3 filter i386 RPMs.
Is there some other filter available that works with this printer,
but is not only limited to i386 ? I would like to print from my iBook
( PowerPC ) with Linux, too.


I am a little bit confused about printing under Linux.
What functions have the PPD files and why do i need
to have filterdrivers too ?


Thanks.


CU
