Here are the results of the steps you suggested. But, he did also advise that a new LPT6780 printer would work offering similar functionality to my LBP3000 He suggested I use Windows or AppleMac which I declined. We will see! And, I will keep the formum updated if I get any joy from that quarter.

I expressed some dismay over this and he offered to refer the issue to a team presumably responsible for updating drivers. Upon phoning Canon Aust support, their representative said that particular driver was only compatible with Mint version 2.4 (or was it 2.1) - anyway, a long time back! Certainly no output! Which, for a majot compant like Canon, was disappointing to say the least. Print Jobs simply 'froze' at about 38% processing and then nothing further. while that driver installed ok but did not work. They gave me the following download link for the driver. For completeness, I am running a 64bit Mint 17 version.
