I am using Ubuntu 11.10. I was trying to install my Canon Pixma ip4700 printer. I use Ubuntu like windows 99% of the time us software center to install everything and sometimes SYM too. Went I do use the terminal it is copy and past. The last time I instilled this printer I copy and pasted to force drivers that a MR Dave had posted and it work OK for printing. But on Ubuntu 11.10 it did work. Tried a couple of times. Then went to SYM and typed in Canon a found something that said ip4700 and installed that and it also installed a lot of other things. Printer is now working fine. Went I force drivers and they didn't work where did they go and will they mess something up? I went to SYM Status, not installed(residual confi(could see the rest) and it had what I think were the drivers and removed them. Think I should backup and do a clean install just to make shore I did mess anything up? Everthing seems to be working fine.
