I have refilled my Ink.It wont print on line or off line. I don't have my little Canon printing yet, but here's where to look: gimp-print.sourceforge.net These guys have been working on printer drivers for Canon/Epson/and other difficult printers, originally for the Gimp, but the package can also be wrapped up to run as a new driver for Ghostscript. The instructions for doing this are pretty complicated but if you follow them exactly you will indeed roll a new driver into the ghostscript package for you. Maybe it'll work for you. This is, so far as I know, your _only_ hope for using your printer with FreeBSD. You can find a whole lot of interesting printing stuff at www.linuxprinting.org HTH, Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
