Have you downloaded the drivers from Canon?

e.g. https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consume ... =&os=linux

Canon has download sites in different parts of the world.

This first codes are too much for me! Suppose this "$(dir)" show where I were downloaded tar file is saved?

Code: Select all

#dirs = libs cngpij cngpijmon ppd pstocanonij 
dirs = libs bscc2sts cnijnpr cngpij cngpijmnt pstocanonij backend backendnet cmdtocanonij cnijbe lgmon2

scripts=for dir in $(dirs); do\
			(cd $$dir; make $$target)|| exit 1;\
		done

all :
	$(scripts)

clean :
	target=clean; $(scripts)

install :
	target=install; $(scripts

Code: Select all

$ rpmbuild -tb cnijfilter-source-4.10.1.tar.gz --define="MODEL ip2800" --define="MODEL_NUM 433" --with build_common_package
Just start to read The beginner’s handbook. I am not there yet, need help.

Is package with printer and scanner exists in Synaptic Package Manager? And what is the name of the package? I browsed a bit but could not find anything.

You changed to Downloads, then su(!), why. If you don't need elevated privilege, then don''t use them.

Maybe you should read some basic info of Linux in general.

You downloaded the source for the driver, which you should install, no Synaptic will not help you here.

Because I tried both. First without and than within SU privilege. And I am learning as time allowing me.

I found in a GUI Synaptic Package Manager a package "System-config-printer" for local and server printers. But must be connection established via CUPS server. Which as they said is unstable. Is this server still operating?

Anyway I installed it and requires connection via the server. But there is not.

Ok, let's push you a little bit.

So you downloaded cnijfilter-source-4.10-1.tar.gz to your Downloads.

From there:

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp>/foo
cd /tmp/foo
tar xvzf ~/Donwloads/cnijfilter-source-4.10-1.tar.gz
cd cnijfilter-source-4.10-1/scirpts
./install_deb
Disclaimer: Did not check the last command, but I think it will not explode your pc. If you get screwed, just reboot, it wipes /tmp.

Made installation of 3 packages (CUPS) with Synaptic Package Manager. At least printer icon is appeared, but can not establish local host or server host.
Also I downloaded this driver: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/5/010000586 ... deb.tar.gz and follow this procedure: https://tutorialforlinux.com/2018/07/11 ... d-install/ Not made any of progress.
