[Gllug] canon mp360

[Diana Scott]

Hi Henry

I don't mean to question your advice. I just try to understand the reasons 
to install different files to get the printer working.

Thank yo for your help. Now I understand a little better but I still can't 
get my canon mp360 printer to work. I have been following yourinstructions 
but I couldn't find the driver file that said SmartBase or MP360 or just 
starting with MP..

Now I understand why linux is difficult.

On a different problem, I have typed in xine in yast and only network 
service xinetd came up. My intention was to set the jukebox to play mp3 
files but I couldn't find w32codescs file.

Do you think I should enable the xinetd settings?

I am not sure.

Please advise.

Diana
