[sf-lug] installing a Canon "i560" photo printer, on : eeebuntu and/or Ubuntu 6.06

[Mikki McGee]

Hello, All;

    Well, maybe I am learning --- maybe.

    A friend just donated a Canon 'i560' to my collection of antique, 
out of date equipment. 

    My previous plan, previous to the printer dying, was to wait until 
Ubuntu 12.x lts came out and wait a month for the issue to be settled, 
then have either Zareason or some expert bring my systems up to date 
with a laser printer, or replace all.   Now I have two old systems, and 
a printer that neither seem to support. 

    Has anyone had experience installing the "i560" on Ubuntu 6.06 or 
eeeBuntu, or a similar system, and/or advice about it?    I have become 
leery of trying to "wing it." 

    I probably can wing it with the double-boot Windows XP ( vs. 
U6.06),  but prefer not to use Windows at all,  except in dire emergency. 

    The on line information may someday become intelligible to me . . . .


Bless All
