    This must be a well-worn question. I just installed woody. The
    installation did not stop to inquire about my specific printer make/model
    which is an older (ca 1990) Canon BJ-200ex. It did install a generic
    dot-matix driver which works for ASCII text, and as near as I can tell,
    several PostScript type drivers. I am certain that the correct driver is
    on one of the seven CDs I have but don't know how to identify it.
    Apt-get requires a specific package name. How do I identify which
    package to use for this particular printer?

    Thanks,

    Byron Nilsen
