Oldest son came back from college and wants a printer for his Dell laptop. I built it with CentOS 5.3 x86_64 several months ago and will upgrade it to 5.4
The Cannon printer he now has (bought with the laptop and Vista through the university book store), doesn't seem to have linux drivers.
what model printer is this? Did you check http://www.linuxprinting.org? You may also want to take a look at turboprint www.turboprint.info , it is commercial, but offer good quality drivers for a lot of printers. It will still be cheaper than to buy a new printer....
