1. Introduction -----------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for using the Canon CAPT Printer Driver for Linux. This CAPT printer 
driver provides printing functions for Canon LBP printers operating under

Please see the online manual about the install method and the concrete usage.


4. Auto startup setting procedure for ccpd daemon -------------------------------
When setting the Status Monitor to start automatically, ccpd daemon must be set
to start automatically as well.
Set ccpd daemon to start automatically in the following procedure.

<For a distribution with a /etc/rc.local file>
Log in as 'root' and add the '/etc/init.d/ccpd start' command to the
/etc/rc.local file.

<For a distribution with a /sbin/insserv command>
Log in as 'root', add the following comments to the third line in
/etc/init.d/ccpd, and execute the 'insserv ccpd' command.

5. Cautions, Limitations, and Restrictions --------------------------------------

- When specifying multiple pages/copies for [Pages per sheet] in the [General] 
  sheet to print a document created with StarSuite7/OpenOffice, due to a cause 
  of operation by the CUPS module, settings are not correctly assigned to the 
  multiple pages and output.

- PostScript files created with the number of copies specified in OpenOffice.org 
  or StarSuite are affected not by the value specified by [Number of copies] in 
  the [cngplp] dialog box (the driver UI), but by the number of copies set when 
  creating the PostScript file.

- If settings are changed from the driver UI, during print processing, the 
  printed result will reflect the changed settings.

- If [Brightness and Gamma] is specified in the [General] sheet from an 
  application such as OpenOffice.org, GIMP, or Acrobat Reader v.5.0, the settings
  will be invalid.

- If you set [Filter] to [HP-GL/2 options] in the [Filter] sheet of the printer 
  driver screen, due to a cause of operation by the CUPS module, the [Pen width 
  (0 10.0mm)] setting is invalid.

- You cannot print a PDF document by directly specifying it from the desktop or 
  command line. When printing a PDF document, it is recommended that you print 
  it from Acrobat Reader.

- The maximum number of files that can be held in the print queue when printing 
  is 500 according to CUPS specifications. Files queued after the 500th file will
  be ignored.

- When the paper size is specified from the application, the specified contents 
  will not be valid. The value specified for [Paper Size] in the [General] sheet 
  in the printer driver screen will be reflected when printing.

- If you are using SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3, the driver UI may display
  unintelligible characters. You can solve this problem using the following
  method.
  1) Log in as 'root'.
  2) Execute the following command to change the GTK+ environment settings.
     # cd /etc/
     # ln -s opt/gnome/gtk ./

- If you are using SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3, a warning may occur when you
  activate the driver UI. You can solve this problem using the following
  method.
  1) Open [K Menu] -> [Control Center].
  2) Select [Appearance & Themes].
  3) Select [Colors].
  4) Deselect [Apply colors to non-KDE applications].
  5) Close [Control Center].
