This works fine. I can read/write to/from my NTFS partition and ext3 partition. The only possible issue I saw was that after the upgrade to 5.3, it didn't work. Possibly I needed to wait longer for it to kick in, or reboot again. Akemi I think commented on that thread. OT: About the Canon support for Linux, some years ago, I received a reply from Lexmark Tech Support that they wouldn't release an updated Linux driver for our printer. Probably won't be buying any Lexmark printers after that.
