I got a new printer with a LAN port, but I can't get it to work properly. What I expected was 1) Plug the printer in the router 2) Install it via a computer 3) All the computers in the network can print through it.
But no, so far it seems that I will have to manually install the driver on every!single!pc and operating system I have home. (Thanks Canon, your Linux support is really great!) - is this really the case? Can't I somehow set the printer so it "just prints" when needed?
(I'm now talking about Windows machines, as it's mainly for my family)
The printer is LBP7100Cn, just in case.
1You can try to use the “generic postscript” printer driver, but of course you won't get all the features of your printer. The fact that a device is accessed over a network solves nothing in the driver department. – Patrice Levesque – 2013-06-25T14:26:28.883
