I'm having trouble installing a Canon printer in SliTaz.
So far I have tried installing two debian packages via tazpkg convert
followed by a tazpkg install
I got that idea from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=775368&p=11948221#post11948221
I also saw the idea on some other forum but I seem to not be able to find it again. The idea was posed for ubuntu both times. I thought that the debian packages would be installable after being converted into tazpkg files. They seemed to install with a bunch of OKs, so I figured everything went great. But I can't seem to get the printer to list via hardware detection and drivers.
I should also mention linux drivers are not officially supported by canon, because they do not have any such drivers on their support website.
So I have come here again for the wisdom of the community. Hopefully there is something I can do to get this printer to work in SliTaz. Seeing as how it has been fixed in a debian linux.
