Finally got the Canon 2900 printer working, without having to put up with the dumb GUI of KDE4. PCLinuxOS 2009 was the answer. The printer driver was installed as per manual - through command line with rpm command, and not the hardware tool in Control Center.
Used the live cd of PCQL for the job. It is sad indeed that PCQL doesn't come in a DVD format, which would have been so much more convenient. Now, every package needs to be downloaded.
PCQL hasn't changed much since the last time I used it. The Install to USB option, and the Remaster CD option were two things that stood out. Being able to save the present installation is a great idea.
