Hi Henry

Thank you for the instructions. I have been following them up until no.4 
choosing the model because under canon, it wasn't a 360 or mp360 nor 860. It 
has got BJ -100 series, BJC series, GP series, LBP series, LIPS series , 
MultiPASS series and S100 series.

I don't know which one to choose.

The MP360 is a scanner with printer. do I have to config the scanner as well 
as the printer?

Would you tell me what have I installed with the 3 x rpm files with the 
Yast?

Thank you for your help.

Diana
