how to connect to printer canon mp250

Hi Jenny

As far as I know, this is a printer that does not work in Ubuntu (or any other Linux OS). See

http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Canon/Canon-MP250

'Paperweight' mean it does not work.

Sorry

Tony

to 'actionparsnip'... Well, you couldn't have made that any easier!! I have the MP250. I'm a newbie running Ubuntu 11.10. I haven't test run the printer yet, but I copied and pasted your whole paragraph (for the 250) into the terminal and hit enter. Is that really all there was to it??? OMG!! Thank you!
