I bought a lttle Eee PC 701 machine but had problems configuring it to print to my Canon MP530.
I decided to try the Turboprint.de driver and had some success.
Download the Turboprint debian package from http://www.turboprint.info/
Start a terminal by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+T"
Become root by typing "su -" and entering your user password
Add the following to /etc/apt/sources/list
deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/4.0/pkg xandros4.0-xn main contrib nonfree
Update the apt sources by typing "apt-get update"
Install the required libraries by typing "apt-get install libgtk1.2-common libgtk1.2 libglib1.2"
Install Turboprint by changing to the directory you downloaded it to (such as "cd /home/user") and the using the dpg command to install "dpg -i turboprint_1.96-3_i386.deb".
I then commented out the Xandros4 source from /etc/apt/sources.list and ran the "apt-get update" command again.
Now add the printer using the "Canon Turboprint" drivers. I added mine from my shared windows PC with no problem.
