Probably same thing, but also went through cups (localhost:631) and I
don't see the pixma mp printers at all. Guess they are called something
else or I need to install something else?
Ok, it didn't install the first time, no idea what was up with that but
got it going this time. It did find/install the 180 driver and so far
it seems to work. Haven't scanned or copied yet but printing works.
Thanks, and guess this will work until the 190 comes out.
