     I've got exactly the same situation. I have Canon Laser
LPxxx, which isn't listed in the printer choice offered. I
tried everything. But what comes out of the printer is just
gibberish. When it comes to the need of printing, I am sort
of Linux嫌い。Could anyone possibly make me a complete lover
of Linux? It is easy to get a Postscript printer, but I have
already a Canon which cost me quite a lot. I don't like to
waste extra money.

Yours,
