Actually, I don't know neither as I never used it. From the linuxprinting site
(http://www.linuxprinting.org) it seems that several Multipass devices are
more or less supported, at least as a printer. My guesses are the following,
but you will probably have to try a little bit:
- use some bubble jet printer driver from Canon: don't know which one, but
  you can try several ones until you find one that works
- you probably can use the Multipass only as a printer under Linux, don't
  know about the fax device. Maybe it's possible, but it's again a matter
  of trying
- to make your Multipass working as a printer, it seems you need to perform
  a key combination (to actually put it in DOS printing emulation). This url
  http://www.canon.ch/fr/download/fax/MPC20/home.htm told me you have to type:
	. "function" key
	. "0" key
	. twice the "<" key
	. "start" key
	. select "ON" or "OFF" using the "<" key
	. "start" key to confirm

Till, any other comment?

Bye.
Michael.
