Besides, about 80 % of the Canon printers which are listed there have been marked to indicate that some information for those printers has not been verified. The suggested printers section also seems to be quite dated and, in that sense, misleading. IMHO, there are too many conflicting reviews to really trust any one such source, but I do tend to trust first-hand experience of users more than any other source. Speaking of support for Canon multifunction PSC devices, is anyone using the drivers for FreeBSD from the following site? http://canon.codehost.com ALeine ___________________________________________________________________ WebMail FREE http://mail.austrosearch.net
