freebsd stable - Jun 2006 - Canon PIXMA support

Hello everyone.

I'm interesting how to run my canon pixma iP 1500 under my honest freebsd.
As I found in internet this is impossible. Who can say more?

If it's not listed at the following link, you're probably out of luck:

http://www.freestandards.org/printing/public/printer_list.cgi?make=Canon

In general, check compatibility with FreeBSD before you buy. If you can
afford one, get a printer that understands the Postscript printing
language and has a parallel port. That will Just Work.

I got my iP 5000 working with cups and gimp-print (WITH_CUPS).

I haven't tried apsfilter yet which I would prefer because cups disallows
a2ps.
