Very newbie to Linux tried Ubuntu about 5 years ago never got wireless to work so had to abandon, heard good things about linux mint and decided to try and wow everything works except my printer/scanner multifunction.
Searched everywhere and finally found how to install the impossible tar.gz file from the Canon website using following post from an ubuntu forum.
sudo -i
cp /home/user/Downloads/Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V240_us_EN.tar.gz /opt/
cd /opt
tar xzvf Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V240_us_EN.tar.gz
cd Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V240_us_EN/64-bit_Driver/RPM
ln -s /usr/lib /usr/lib64
alien -k -c cndrvcups-common-2.40-2.x86_64.rpm
alien -k -c cndrvcups-ufr2-us-2.40-2.x86_64.rpm
dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_2.40-2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i cndrvcups-ufr2-us_2.40-2_amd64.deb
And this got the printer part working but the explanation was unclear for the scanner and the scanner function does not work at all, if the drivers from the website don't get the whole thing working then i have no idea
My printer is a Canon MF4450 Laser Mulitfunction
Wondering if anybody knows how to get the scanner working and remember been using linux for 10 minutes barely know how to open terminal much less use it.......
Thank You
Hope I don't have to switch back to windows tonite.

Canon MF4450 scanner software sought
if I go here
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/P/se ... g_os=Linux
(to the Canon Asia website):
they say this about the PRINTER driver you downloaded for your MF4450
I can only suggest you search at the available software for similar devices on the Canon Asia website or the Canon Europe website, and see if a scanner device is offered for a closely related product

Canon does not seem to provide a scanner software driver with this device;Thank you for using the Canon UFR II/UFR II LT Printer Driver
for Linux. This printer driver provides printing functions ...
