[dba-Tech] Linux Printer Driver

Unfortunately not everything is free in Linux land, as I found when I went looking for a driver for my Canon i9900. Simply not available in open source form, and Canon seems to have little interest in supporting Linux.

However, if you are willing to part with some spondoolicks, you can get a very nice driver from...

It costs €29.95.

Dear List:

Noah is running Linux on his laptop and would like to hook up the Canon Pixma ip1800 printer that's hooked up to his desktop at the moment (running XP), but cannot find the Linux drivers for it.  

Does anyone have a source for these drivers?
