"All the netbooks I tried had compatibility problems with other external
devices. The netbooks couldn't load the software drivers to let me print
to my Canon and Dell printers. I couldn't load pictures over a USB cable
from my Canon PowerShot SD750 digital camera. I was able to get my
pictures on the machines by plugging a storage card from my camera
directly into the netbooks."
Yup, I've experienced exactly the same problems. Printers being the
worst, of course, since I just use the SD card readers to transfer
pictures from the camera.
Is there a driver wrapper for printers out there (similar to
ndiswrapper)? If not, there should be :P
Check out gutenprint.org I believe, you might Google for it.
I have got a number of print drivers for Fedora from them.
you also want to Google for gutenprint-cups.
