I am trying to read up and prepare before making the change from XP to Linux Lite. I plan to install Linux Lite on my (spare) old laptop, to see how it all works.
Can I set up this old laptop, once I have installed Linux Lite, to connect wirelessly to my Canon MP 560 printer/scanner? I understand I can download from the Canon website a driver for the MP 560 which works with Linux Debian OSs. Will this be suitable for Linux Lite? If so, what else do I need to do?
My printer is connected by wire to my Netgear router which is linked (wired or wireless) to my main daily computer still running WinXP. The printer has wireless connectivity. My wife can find it and access it directly wirelessly from her (ahem....) Windows 7 netbook. I'd like to do the same from a Linux Lite laptop. How do I make it happen?
