Are you trying to print to it via Linux? I wasn't aware that Canon
provided a Linux driver. I've got a bjc600e, which is similar to the
610 and I print via Netscape, Applix as well as xterm. I'm using
ghostscript. I would think that WP7 should use the same print driver
as Netscape which is probably ghostscript.
