PIXMA MP460
Ubuntu installed a generic driver upon plugging the MP460 into my usb port. I was prompted to search for a better driver and it brought up the list of manufacturers. I selected Canon and the PIXMA MP160. The MP460 was not listed but I have read in posts from last year (2008 ) that the MP160 driver works.
I have not tried to scan anything yet, but the printing is perfect.

uberlinux,
I have the same box and have been living in xorg hell for the last few days. Would you mind terribly disclosing what kind of graphics resolution and monitor you have that's working?
I have a Westinghouse LCM22W2 that I'm trying to configure to 1680x1050. Under Ubuntu 8.10, 1368x768 (16:9) is the closest I can get. I installed OpenSuSE 11.1 so I could access a tool (SaX2) other than VIto generate settings. I'm running at 1600x1200 which still isn't right.
If I could get a working xorg.conf, I could flip back to Ubuntu and get on with my life.
Any information you could furnish would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Everything works with Kubuntu 8.10 x86_64, except for a few special keys (brightness). The touchpad does work after pressing Fn and F6 twice (instead of once for Vista). I haven't tried hibernating.
It does take some effort to get sound working; see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...10#post6589810 for updating Alsa
Added on 4-4-2009: wireless works out of the box. However, when downloading big files, f.e. from my NAS, it stalls. The remedy is to install the latest version of the wireless drivers, as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792092&page=26
Kubuntu 9.04 x86_64 installs as well, only this has to be added in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

bcbotha,
right-click on the panel bar, select Add to Panel. From the list add System monitor. Under the resources tab you'll see a graph that will help.

Ok....thanks for that.

Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid

HP (Hewlett Packard)
DeskJet 840C
I just plugged it in once and after a few seconds, Ubuntu detected it as a printer and it worked. It's a very old printer btw, I had it since 1998 and its now just over ten years old.

After Intrepid install, and 258 updates... no sound--
try - "sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base" in terminal no quotes
at the very end of the script add a line that says
"options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=toshiba position_fix=1" no quotes
save - exit - restart - bingo! hope this saves others the HOURS of digging it caused me.
