This is exactly why I asked the OP to post his solution instead of keeping it to himself. Coming back to your question, Ken, I have a Canon Pixma MX870. I have summarized the instructions to set this up at http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/2014/06/setting-up-canon-pixma-mx870-printer-on.html Since the models are very similar, it might work for your case. raju -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
