Canon Imageclass D570 laser printer/scanner driver
#9
I really like the way LL works on my computer, it works as advertised on an older system.  I spent quite some time researching different distros, what works and doesn't work on older hardware and LL fits real nice.  The problem I have is if I am unable to get a simple thing like a printer to work, something I need and use everyday that is a big problem.  I have a dual boot setup that might be the problem but following the directions & command line from Canon didn't work all the way as I was unable to execute using their commands.  I used the directions from the link stevef gave me & time after time I was unable to execute the command using the commands it gave.  After looking in help from the command page it was stated that I needed to use a package manager to install the file, this is something I didn't know & so I installed the driver file to synaptic package manager and the install worked.  Something I didn't know at the time is that if the printer is already registered through plug and play (Windows 7) there will be a problem, the printer won't work unless another command is inserted I assume during the process.  The command line Canon gives for this is long and hard to discern, also I already deleted the printer's from the printer set up without uninstalling the driver and that might also be a problem, there were 2 printers of the same name on the setup?  why is that?  I also found out after installing the driver that I was supposed to click no if the printer is USB and not network on registration.

I am not sure where to go from here or what to do next, should I uninstall everything and start over? 

Help.
