Compete Linux noob here.
I've got a generic USB-parallel printer port adapter.
It works fine under winxp printing to a Canon BJ10sx.
I'm trying to get the BJ10sx printing under Linux.
I'm using an Acer Aspire One running Ubuntu Netbook 9.10
If I use the 'System testing' utility
I get this:
I'm guessing that Ubuntu has already loaded the drivers for it.
When I go to add a printer, I'm asked for a device URI. What do I enter?
And finally - printer driver?
I found this - http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Canon/Canon-BJ-10e - but I have no clue as to ahwt to do with it.
Help!
TIA
