To get rid of that logo I must purchase a license key, which is about US$30.00 for personal use. That's why I love open source so much...

Anyway, the Canon BJC-7000 (Foomatic + bjc800) is working fine, so I'll just keep it. It may be possible to edit the configuration in the /etc/cups/ppd/<my_printer>.ppd file to get the margins perfect,
but I don't think I'll mess with that for now.



You only need to do that once. Plus there are other features which you don't get with the standard Cups drivers. Such as Ink Low indication, nozzle cleanning, the handling of different types of paper etc.. Just like you get with the Windows drivers. So for $30 it's worth it.

All those features are good to have, but the printing quality is still more important. For some reason, the CUPS drivers get a better quality, so I'm not yet fully convinced that the $30 is a good investment.
