There will be an update with more than 170 new colour printer models soon, but I am still waiting for the full release of the next Linux version (5.2.8). So far, there has only been a pre-release. There will not be many changes for the full version, but having waited that long, I would rather wait for the full version to base the next RISC OS release on. To give you an idea, these are the new printers in 5.2.8 (compared to 5.2.5 on which the current RISC OS version is based). (As usual, EXPERIMENTAL means that the driver is not fully colour tuned and might change in a later release, but it will work) - Canon inkjet printers: Canon BJC 4550 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon BJC S330 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon BJC S520 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon BJC S530D (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon BJC S630 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon BJC S750 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon BJC S820 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon BJC S830D (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon BJC S900 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon BJC S9000 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA mini220(EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA mini320(EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA mini360(EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i50 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i70 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i450 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i455 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i470D (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i550 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i900D (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i950 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i960 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i6100 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i6500 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i9100 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA i9900 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP3600 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP3500 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP3300 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP4900 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP6210D(EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP6220D(EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP6310D(EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP7100 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP7500 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP8100 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP8600 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP9910 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP140 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP190 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP210 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP240 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP375R Canon PIXMA MP470 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP490 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP530 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP900 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MG2100 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MG3100 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MG4100 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MG5300 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MG6200 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MG8200 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP1000 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP1200 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP1300 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP1500 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP1600 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP1700 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP1800 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP1900 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP2000 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP2200 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP2500 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP2600 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP2700 Canon PIXMA iP3100 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP4700 Canon PIXMA iP4800 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iP6100D Canon PIXMA iP6600D Canon PIXMA iX6500 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA iX7000 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MG5100 Canon PIXMA MG5200 Canon PIXMA MG6100 Canon PIXMA MG8100 Canon PIXMA MP250 Canon PIXMA MP270 Canon PIXMA MP280 Canon PIXMA MP450 Canon PIXMA MP460 Canon PIXMA MP480 Canon PIXMA MP493 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP495 Canon PIXMA MP520 Canon PIXMA MP540 Canon PIXMA MP550 Canon PIXMA MP600 Canon PIXMA MP620 Canon PIXMA MP630 Canon PIXMA MP640 Canon PIXMA MP800 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP810 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP950 Canon PIXMA MP960 Canon PIXMA MP980 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP990 Canon PIXMA MX300 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX310 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX330 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX340 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX350 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX360 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX410 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX420 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX700 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX850 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX860 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX870 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX880 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MX7600 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA Pro9000 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mk.II (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA Pro9500 (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA Pro9500 Mk.II (EXPERIMENTAL) Canon PIXMA MP360 Canon PIXMA MP370 Canon PIXMA MP390 Canon PIXMA MP510 Canon PIXMA MP970 -
