      This is one of the so-called GDI- or winprinters, a printer with
      a proprietary data protocol, which is not publicly documented by
      the manufacturer.&lt;br&gt;

      Fortunately, Nicolas Boichat has reverse-engineered the protocol
      of the similar &lt;a
      href="show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-LBP-660"&gt;LBP-660&lt;/a&gt;
      using &lt;a
      href="http://www.pragana.net/gdiprinters.html"&gt;the techniques
      described by Rildo Pragana&lt;/a&gt;, which lead to &lt;a
      href="show_driver.cgi?driver=lbp660&amp;fromprinter=Canon-LBP-460"&gt;this
      driver&lt;/a&gt;. Then Rildo Pragana has added support for the
      LBP-460 to the driver, using an LBP-460 which Till Kamppeter
      brought him from Mandriva (Mandrakesoft in that time).&lt;br&gt;

      Old comments:&lt;br&gt;

      PCL4/LJIIp emulation via Windows driver. When LBP460 is
      connected to W9x box, Linux can use it as SMB network-available
      HPLJ III. Both text and Ghostscript work.&lt;br&gt;
