Thanks but I already found a scanner software that sees the scanner and 
prints the stuff I want. Cannot do printer head cleaning, etc, but that 
has been enough for me so far.

But it took me more than half a day to find that software.

And that's the problem. What you gave a link for, if indeed successful, 
only shows that the solution is out there somewhere. And this is the 
problem. This is why Windows rules over Linux. The existence of a 
solution is not good enough. User can only click on "install."

When installing software for canon pixma 2520 on a linux machine becomes 
a matter of clicking on "install" button, that's when Windows is 
history. Nowhere else earlier than that.

My issue is that Windows _must_ become history. It has become a gigantic 
amount of abuse for tens and tens of millions of users. It must go. It 
is still here because Microsoft Al Capones do not let Linux develop as I 
described. And enthusiasts like you, are happy enough to mind your own 
business being enthusiastic about linux as it is today.

You do _not_ represent a linux user that wants it to also defeat the 
Windows racket. I do! Calling it "Winblows" is just another way of 
saying, "that's not the operating system I am using, and beyond that I 
don't care."
