Hi ,
I've install Debian Linux on my mahine. Now I want =to install my CANNON Deskjet BJC 2100SP printer in the same. Pls. help me a=nd tell the process to install the same.
If your desktop is kde then klick - start icon, settings, control center, peripherals, printers, add printer, After adding your printer, start the cups printing daemon - /etc/ init.d/cups start. Also add the application rcconf using apt. rcconf simplifies the task of enabling / removing daemons. You can set cups to start automatically on boot. Fairly simple.
Also tell how can I add new hardwa re in my machine and get installed in linux.
you have to insert the neccessary modules. modprobe <whatever> what hardware? lspci will display all the hardware as recognised by the internal chipset ids - much more useful than vague taiwanese mufacturere's names.
