TurboPrint & PrintFab

Hi,

I just bought a Canon MX850.
Even that there's no driver available yet, I tried to reach the printer via network, but no avail.

I tried all (CUPS-)methods:
IPP, HTTP, LPD, JetDirect etc.
But in all cases I wasn't able to pint anything!

Anyone got an idea?

Regards
ThyMaster

Well, for the record: cups-bjnp supports Canon network printing. It is available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cups-bjnp/
It is still beta quality. Ido not have any Canon documentation on the protocol, but developed cups-bjnp based on reverse engineering based on the TCP/IP packets captured from a Windows printer
