Just tried to install Epson AcuLaser C900 colour laser printer, everything loads perfectly until the last step, it makes all the right noises but fails at the last hurdle & doesn't actually print!

However, it shows as having printed in the printer log!!

I'm having to use windoze to print anything.

@slithy2003: Which driver have you tried? Have you had look here? Might be a good idea to start a new thread if you require assistance.

Aren't we doing this the wrong way, for a long time already? If we want this to work, some kind of form or interface should be available. I'm a webbuilder and programmer, added my laptop a while ago, but the way it's done requires a lot more than registering what works and what doesn't.

As has been noted, it looks a nightmare to edit. I really don't have that kind of time but I DO want to contribute. So, Moderator, if you please... This list of home-cobbled hardware worked perfectly without any gigging that I recall. I love this system!

openSuSE 11.1 from downloaded .iso burned to DVD.
KDE 4.x seemed SO unnecessary and was so HORRIBLY buggy that I had to rebuild clean with only KDE 3.5.10 release 21.9

Canon ip1500 worked on 10.3 release using a driver from Canon for SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional. Having installed 11.1 the printer is now unusable. Canon fail to respond to my request for an update.

I cannot load bjfilter-common rpm because libgdk is missing from the OS.
Installed are:
/usr/lib/libglib-2.50.so.0
/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.
libxm12.so.2
Missing:
Libgdk-1.2.so.0 or update
libgtk-1.2.so or update

OS is openSUSE 11.1-2.6.27.23-0.1

According to the open printing database:
OpenPrinting database - Printer: Canon iP 1500
it's a paperweight.
Generally hp are the best supported in linux.
Before buying another printer, check the database.
My cheap Samsung had driver problems for scanning till Samsung must have had enough complaints to update the install scripts.
Like Cannon, I should imagine, their official line was: 'We don't support linux'. - despite my pointing out to them the reason I bought it was because the box advertised linux support.
