I have already gotten information from Canon's Fax Retrieval System that only the printer function can be shared under WFW 3.11 or Win95 with their software. As it stands now, the only option that is available is just hanging the C2500 off a WFW 3.11 or Win95 machine and using the scanner and PC FAX capabilities from that machine locally and exporting the printer as a shared WFW resource and having the FreeBSD utilitize it from Samba as one of the printers it emulates in MS-DOS mode. On a similiar note, are there any successes with Canon's MultiPass software and drivers under wine? -- /* | Spam violation - e-mail dumped... ** Internet: jca@accessnv.com | Don't blame me, I didn't vote for Clinton. ** jca@anv.net | Intel is the word for 'errata.' */
