Ubuntu Installation :: 9.10 - Canon Color ImageClass MF8050cn Printer
Apr 2, 2010
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit on an Intel i7. I just bought a Canon color ImageClass MF8050cn laser printer and connected it to the network. I let the software pick a driver, but when I print my document goes into a black hole never to be found again. I also have a Mac and a Vista machine which can both connect just fine and print in color. So it's not the printer.
Has anyone successfully made this work? If so, what driver are you using, where do I get it if it's not in Synaptic, and what settings do I use? I checked on the Canon site, but they only support Windows and Mac. Before anyone goes there, I would like to use a non-generic driver for this if possible. I'm at work right now and the printer is at home, so I can't get specifics at the moment.
Using Squeeze and a Canon Pixma IP4600 Printer. The color on the printed pages used to be true and now it isn't, it still print is color just not the correct colors.I am color deficient or color challenged (what used to be called color blind) which dosen't mean I can't tell the difference between what is on the screen and what is printed It's not the printer as I have tested it with other Linux and a windows system and it's good.
after looking around for hours, i finally gave up and decided to write this post. I need to know exactly what to do to get my canon mx860 printer connected to ubuntu wireless. ive tried nearly everything, but nothing really makes sense and it just doesn't work.
Canon MX320, MX330, MX860 printer installation on Kubuntu Lucid 10.04 AMD64 bit. I am sure Ubuntu Lucid is similar. Once I upgraded to Lucid 10.04 AMD64 bit I found that getting a Canon Pixma MX printer installed was not going to be easy. So I thought it help others if I posted my experience here. To pull this off you will need both the Debian package, (.deb), and the source package from either
Canon Europe: [URL]... Or Canon Australia: [URL]... NOTE: The only reason to get the source is to access the ppd files. They are in the Debian package but it is a lot more work to walk newbies through unpacking the .deb. Since there are errors in the source code it makes impossible to compile a driver. Therefore, you will need to install the 32bit Debian package and force the architecture, then add the correct printer driver from the ppd file in the source package. While these instructions worked for me there are a few assumption I make which mat affect your outcome. My MX860 has a wireless network connection.
In other words I have no idea if this will or will not work on a USB attached printer. (If someone would be kind enough to post back if they get that configuration working that would be cool.) The other assumption is that the general reader is relatively new to Lunix and the command line interface. The commands were cut and pasted from my working kconsole, so they should work for anyone.Here we go:........
I have done a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04 on my partners desktop PC and am attempting to get her printer working, so far no luck. Ubuntu does not list a specific driver for this printer in 8.04 Printer is a Canon laserjet model L1112E according to the label on the printer itself but the printed instruction leaflet calls it a LBP 3000.Canon website offers a linux driver for lbp3000.
I'm trying to get a Canon ip4850 printer installed on a fairly new upgrade to 64-bit Narhwal. I want to install the cnijfilter-common_3.40-1_amd64.deb and cnijfilter-ip4800series_3.40-1_amd64.deb packages, (;atest Canon drivers) but get the following error:
dpkg: error processing /home/name/cnijfilter-ip4800series-3.40-1-deb/packages/cnijfilter-common_3.40-1_amd64.deb (--install): cnijfilter-common: 3.40-1 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with cnijfilter-common:i386 3.20-1 (Multi-Arch: no) which is currently installed
How do I remove the old i386 3.20-1 arch? I've tried sudo apt-get remove, and this is the result.
name@name:~$ sudo apt-get remove cnijfilter-common [sudo] password for name: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree [code].....
It's weird because it did not even print different shades of gray (for the colors), as though I set it to print to black-and-white, when clearly I did not.
I have an HP color laser printer and I am looking for a way to print black as black instead of using tri-color. For example If I print a document that has colored text then any black text is printed using the color cartridges rather then using black. I have been surviving by using windows XP in virtualbox but I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I've looked all over then net for a solution but I've found nothing. I remember having similar problems like this with older Macs because of postscript printing and I'm thinking this is the same problem but I don't know how to fix it. I've searched the forums as well but no joy.
I have a canon printer which was working so far. After my latest upgrade its giving errors saying "Printer not connected -- Check your connection" Fortunately I had a backup of my root before the upgrade and one difference I see is that on the new system theres no /dev/usb/lp0 which there is on the old one. So how do I make it? Or should I use the /dev/lp0? Note they are different:
[Code].....
So (naturally) when I tried to make a softlink from /dev/usb/lp0 to /dev/lp0 it did not work.
Been using ubnutu gnome for a loooong time and my printer (Canon MX340) has been running just fine, configuration and usage.
I now switch to kde. configure my printer the same way i would under gnome and as soon as i send a job, it processes for about 3 seconds and just marks "stopped" under status. nothing goes through anymore!!
i've updated from 4.5 to 4.6 with backports and nothing is happening on there either.
im running maverick amd64 and using the i386 drivers (with dpkg -i --force-all) which are still recognized even under kde.
p.s.: the printer normally runs as wireless standalone (no samba/cups involvment whatsoever)
i am running T43 Thinkpad box with Ubuntu 11.04. we have a canon network printer model i-SENSYS MF4570dn printer, and i am trying to install the UFR II driver which i downloaded from canon website. the problem i am facing is that when i install the driver with gdebi i receive error message saying: Dependency is not satisfiable: gs-esp.i tried to install ge-eps but it is not part of the repository for 11.04
Is there a way to print from a Canon MX 330 All-in-One printer in Ubuntu 9.04? I'm trying to print through a Linksys WRT54G router. The printer is physically connected to a Desktop PC running Windows Vista (64-bit).I've tried installing the printer though CUPS to no avail. I tried the iP4600, iP3600 and iP2600 drivers and none of them have worked for me. I've even tried the Gutenprint PIXMA IP4600 drivers.
I want to use my Canon Pixima MP600 Printer on Ubuntu, but don't know how. The Ubuntu Documents has support for the MP620. Canon USA doesn't offer drivers for Linux.
I'm a newcomer to Ubuntu. Have struggled with 9.04 and managed to get my Canon MP620 to work in that version. Now I have upgraded to 10.04 and have problems to get my printer to work again.
I am a new convert to Fedora with very little knowledge of Linux in general. I have managed to install Fedora 11 on my Advent 8315 laptop and I have wireless connection via my Belkin Wireless N modem router. I have always been able to setup Windows networking successfully but Fedora is much more complex, using terminology that I am not familiar with. What I need to do to achieve networking with my Windows computer? I especially want to network to my Canon printer which is connected to the Windows PC.
I want to get my Canon MP210 printer / scanner working under Fedora 8 Linux. When I plug the USB cable in, I get a little popup with a setup wizard, but my printer isn't even in that list. I've tried the system-config-printer wizard as well as going in through the control panels and trying everything reasonable.
I just bought a Canon MF4370dn printer. It comes with Windows drivers on a cd. I was able to configure it for Windows 7 but not for Linux. Where can I get a Linux (Fedora 13) driver?
I am running Lucid 64bit on my laptop and been trying to install a canon printer driver LBP3200 on it. There are some comprehensive tutorials that I have been following and they worked on my desktop. However the last thing I have to do is
Code: sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults 50 which gives me the error
Code: update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/ccpd missing LSB information update-rc.d: see [URL] System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/ccpd already exist.
I checked in /etc and I do not have the rc.d dir! I have rc0.d through to rc6.d and rcS.d dir, but no rc.d one. Is this normal? and if so how can I get the correct file to start/stop the ccpd daemon for the printer? At the moment the print command brings up the printer icon for about ten seconds and then it disappears and nothing happens.
I am looking for a good new ALL IN ONE printer that will be compatible with Ubuntu right out of the box (scanner and everything).
I am also looking for a portable bluetooth printer that will be compatible. I currently have a Canon pixma ip90v bluetooth printer but I cant get it to print AT ALL and Ive tryed everything.
I am currently running 3 computers with Ubuntu 10.10 and one with 11.04 Alpha 3.
Trying to set up my Canon MX700 all-in-one as a printer on my network. N predefined drivers available on 9.10 rel. Tried Pixma mp830 but printer just prints a blank page. Canon of course shows no drivers for Linux.
I have the printer Canon i-SENSYS LBP6020. I followed the instructions from the site URL....There are no errors, but when I try to print, nothing comes out of the printer.My system is: Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)Here is some debugging information:

I am one of the many people who are having many problems getting the Canon ip1700 pixma printer to work with Linux. I think that it can be done. I've followed every step that I could on this page: [URL] Everything goes fine until I enter the username and password on CUPS, using my "root" and my root password. I get this annoying google chrome thing, "aw, snap, this page can't load..." I really need to use my printer.
I am interested in acquiring a Canon MP620 printer scanner. I am looking at the printer list from linux.com, and I don't see it there. Wondering if it works really good with Opensuse.
I have just installed OpenSuse 11.4 on my old desktop Compaq Presario, I coming from an amount of experience with Linux, anyway, for the moment I have a problem with my printer connected on a domestic network, this printer have an assigned address as the same as for my desktop and all other devices of this network, but I'm not able to connect with it, if I try to connect the printer by USB I haven't no problem, more strange is because of the printer have got a scanner and I was able to connect it via network, the same problem I had with Ubuntu.
