[Eug-lug] Canon Pixma i3000 on Ubuntu 6.10

[B. Gallagher]

I hear you on the ink!  I've been using separate color tanks since the 
beginning, but that didn't stop the dribble of dollars.  I'm  sure it's 
a conspiracy!  I acknowledge that Epson is better then Canon (based on 
what I hear,) but laserjet is even better.  I don't know about Total 
Cost of Ownership, but I need the crisp durable output of a laserjet for 
my project and I don't want any monkeys at Kinko's seeing my stuff 
before I send it out.

With Dell and Wal-Mart on board I think we will see a range of 
Linux-ready products by next year.  On the other hand with the Vista 
release you've got some real job security there ; )
