This article seems step-by-step in setting up CUPS for your _exact_ model (Canon PIXUS iP3100, correct?): http://www.techbuilder.org/recipes/showArticle.jhtml?articleId=167600449
Thank you for that excellent article. And what a stroke of luck that the person us using my exact model.
All went well until the author of the article instructed to go to "Start Menu > Control Center > peripherals > printers". I have neither a "Control Center", nor a "Peripherals", let alone a "printers" anywhere in my menu. The author of the article is using KDE, but shouldn't there be something similar in Gnome?
Which, although I'm probably many steps ahead, I'm sort of back to my original question. Where do I access printer settings? Is there a GUI in Gnome for this? Is there one I can install?
Apparently I'm looking for an "add printer wizard", or anything that lets me properly install the "ppd" file that I've created for my printer.
Where can I administrate my printer settings?
