1. Canon Pixma Mp210 Driver

Sorry to revive this thread. I've managed to get the 2 drivers installed from the ppa for raring. I've also got printing working fine even via network.

Gonset gsb 101 manualidades 4. However, I can get the scanning function to work. Scangearmp installs fine but it comes up saying it cannot find a scanner both via usb and network.

Is there some file I can edit so that I can tell scangearmp where to look for the scanner? Xsane doesn't find it either. BTW, if i type 'scanimage -L' i get a response to say there is a scanner available.–Jun 8 '13 at 4:22. PPAI found the solution! My CanonMP610 printer works perfectly under 12.04 gnome classic, but only @ 600 dpi. I want to print photos. The above method worked for me (although I had to replace pangolin by oneiric in the PPA address), I can install the printer, select the printer in the print menu (of eg Firefox, Openoffice, whatever.), choose between different resolutions, up to more than 2000; the software says it's printing, notification bubbles tell me the print job started and ended, but, guess what.

The printer stays dead.! Started a bounty, can anyone help, please?–Jul 13 '12 at 8:43. I answered this on SO question but here's that answer, reprinted.For 14.04 through 16.04 do the following:.Download the drivers from.Extract the file archive to a directory. From that directory: cd /Downloadstar -xf LinuxUFRIIPrinterDriver.tar.sudo dpkg -i LinuxUFRIIPrinterDriver././Debian/.$(dpkg -print-architecture).debsudo apt-get install -f.It shouldn't be necessary to reboot, but if the next step fails, reboot and try again.Run 'Add printer'. That should just show up automatically when you click the 'Add' button.

Give it a few seconds and the printer chirps then just magically shows up.EDIT 2/27/16 (16.04beta) Updated the link to the 3.10 driver (they updated their website). Everything just worked using above, didn't need to reboot.EDIT 9/8/16: The current driver version is now 3.20. Make installation commands agnostic to both the driver version and the system architecture. For many (but not all) Canon printers and scanners we can download a proprietary Linux driver from. If a driver was not yet listed in the Canon web search tool linked above we may still find links to the appropriate driver downlaods from the page.

Download the Debian package archives to install the proprietary printer drivers with the Ubuntu Software Center by a double click on them.The proprietary scanner application scangearmp will not install with SANE and hence can not be used with applications based on SANE. After installation is it run from the terminal: scangearmpNote that drivers available there support a series of printers but not a subset of of this series. This is usually indicated by the product numbering (e.g. For a Pixma IP 2820 you will download the driver for the IP2800 series, for a PIXMA MX457 you will need the driver for the MX450 series, etc.)Older drivers may also be available from ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk.Some Canon printers are also supported by the drivers. Borderless or high resolution photo-printing may not be supported.You may note that these drivers allow printing but they usually will not fully support all printer features.

This has been like that for all Canon printers for reasons only Canon knows of.In case we need a driver that fully supports all printer features there is a commercially available printer driver which actually works great but you may not want to support their rather weird and expensive licencing plan (starting from $34 for one computer and two printers with free updates for 6 months only).

While Canon currently only provides Linux drivers for the PIXMA products, other printer and scanner series Linux drivers are still maintained by the community. I finally got my Pixma iP1600 to work on my 64 bit computer! Thanks very much for the informative site. However, I don’t know if I should remove the PPA or not? If it is not causing trouble, should I bother?User1:I installed the 32 bit drivers command in my 64 bit machine by running this first:sudo apt-get install ia32-libssudo apt-get install libatk1.0-0:i386libc6:i386 libcairo2:i386 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386libgtk2.0-0:i386 libpango1.0-0:i386 libx11-6:i386libcanberra-gtk-module:i386The only file that was 64bit that I could find was the “scangearmp”file. It seems to be compatible with the other 32 bit only files.My printer now works!Oh, and I used the iP1800 file.

Canon Pixma Mp210 Driver

Hi, first off: I am definitely NOT an expert here and still fighting getting my Pixma MG3500 to work.But what I have so far found out that if your model is not in the repositories I believe it is easier to actually download the packages directly from the canon web pages where they seem to have versions that are newer than in any repository AND they support more printers – e.g. My 3500 is not supported in the repositories.However before you do this make sure you delete any older versions of the various packages installed via synaptics or apt-get as otherwise you will have some broken packages (not a major issue just a pain).I realise this is not perfect, following the ubuntu repository strategy and you would theoretically miss updates in this way but as the last updates seem to have been made in 2013 I will probably be on a new distro before anything changes here 😉Good luck! Minor update: using this method it is then possible to simply add the printer via normal printer admin GUI.

Printing then works perfectly.Scanner though is another challenge. So far I didn’t get Simple Scan or Xsane to work. BUT the tool provided also on the Canon web page scangearmp DOES work – I couldn’t find it in my menu (linuxmint mate) but had to start from command line – it then fires up a very old school GUI – which was written before the word “usability” became popular – but it WORKS!

ScanGear MP is the only working scanning option that works with my printer. It seems whatever technology Simple Scan and Xsane uses are no longer compatible with Canon printers in Ubuntu 16.04. (It worked with them in Ubuntu 14.04)For your convenience, here is the launcher file that I uses:Desktop EntryEncoding=UTF-8Type=ApplicationCategories=GTK;Application;Graphics;RasterGraphics;Scanning;Name=ScanGear MPExec=scangearmpTerminal=falseIcon=scannerComment=Scanner Tool for Canon PrintersCopy the above thing, launch nano, paste the contents, and save (Ctrl+O).$ sudo nano /usr/share/applications/scangearmp.desktop.
