Comments

Note : If you have problems when the printer is connected via the USB, try to connect it via the parallel port.

A Canon guy told me that this printer is exactly the same as the BJC-6200, only the inks are more sun-proof. So use the "stp" driver and choose the BJC-6200 as your printer model.

The Canon S450 is the old BJC-6000 in a new designed case with USB access build in. So, use the BJC6000a1.upp or BJC6000b1.upp.

Answer for C.
