I'm not happy w/ the relationship between the CUPS on linux as opposed 
to the proprietary Win7 drivers for the Canon MP 160 black ink Pixma. 
The options for using the Canon w/ variable printed page sizes is much 
better on the Win and the only default 'word processor' on the Win was 
WordPad which doesn't do labels.

I'm installing LibreOffice 7.4.3 to Win7 so as to be able to use its 
label maker on the Canon instead of trying to use linux.

I blame the 'problem' on Canon not CUPS; Canon makes no linux drivers 
for the MP 160.

Sometimes it is easier to just use Win for something rather than solve 
the linux compatibility problem properly.
