I am having problems getting my Canon BJC-2100 printer to work
correctly under RedHat 9.

I can install the printer using the gui KDE tool, however when I try
and print a test page, it prints out double-width.

I've just moved over to Linux and everything else is sorted out; the
printer is the last thing to do.

Any feedback appreciated.

Is the printer LPT-connected, USB-connected, or LAN/SAMBA-connected?

One rather *surprising* thing I found with RH 8 (and later) versions,
CUPS, and USB ports: it *just plain works* (and works better than
connecting via LPT). If given a choice between LPT and USB, if using
LPT, consider switching to USB, as I seriously suspect that CUPS (as
opposed to LPR) is much more PnP-aware (in fact, I didn't have to tell
CUPS diddley-squat about my printer, an HP Derskjet 640C).

S-c-a-r-y.
