My apologies for this because it is, technically, OT, but it is a classic example of what rotten support Linux (and CentOS) get in the US from equipment manufacturers. The whole email is a lie because they DO have the drivers on their asia site, they just don't want us 'Murkins to get our hands on them. Or maybe it's part of some clever little nuance of their agreement with Micro$oft not to provide the Linux drivers so they can have the rights to distribute the Window$ drivers with the printers.
Maybe I should advertise this - canonmp160.ppd available here (and put up a web site for it).
You've got me curious. I went to one of Canon's Asia sites and they DO list a Linux driver for the MP160. Have you tried it? Does it work? Just wondering.
