[UYS88]

hi LLinux Mint 14 Cinna 32bit

i had to create an new topic on as per rules so

i had asked why my mg2240 was not printing http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=123929 to view i did to install the driver

the scanner is working now but the printer is using an generic text only driver still at this point

did i do something wrong, or how do i replace the generic driver with new installed driver?



please help

let me suggest this to you. Remove every Canon driver using Synaptic. When finished, close synaptic. After that open a terminal and run the following command:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk

After that run:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Then open synaptic again and look under Source (left below) for the michael gruz entry. Mark the proper printerdriver for installation and click apply.

so you are running 2 threads about your MG2240 printer ......

I think if you install the libtiff4; and redo the instructions I gave you in the other post; the MG2200 series printer will install correctly and you will have a working printer .........

I don't think you need to do any deletions etc

I will also subscribe to this thread and keep a closer eye on the forum
