Trouble printing in Color

Post by sullik »

I've had a Canon Pixma MG3150 for some time. When dumping Windows for Linux Mint I had to install CUPS driver to make the printer work, no trouble at all getting prints. Then I discovered that there was a driver available for MG3100 series printers and that was recommended. This driver make problems, B/W seems ok but the only color print I have manager to get was of a gif file with the driver set to 600x600DPI High (Color only) and the color quality was not good compaired to earlier print with CUPS driver. Yes, I can go back - but when a driver is present and recommended I really think it should work. Here is the error log from the "Printing Troubleshooter"

Moved it to the printing section, and added code blocks around the output to make it a bit easier to read.

getting your MG3100 series working well

Post by pdc_2 »

so you don't have the Canon driver installed:

I would recommend you do: I get excellent colours from my MG 3100 series printer.......

LEAVE THE PRINTER TURNED OFF AT THIS STAGE

to download the canon drivers, go here and select the SAVE FILE option........

http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/cont ... 93702.html

and download the MG3100 series IJ Printer Driver Ver. 3.60 for Linux (debian Packagearchive)

it comes down as a .tar.gz file and by default will be saved in your Downloads directory automatically

...once downloaded the command are: (copy and paste)
cd Downloads
.hit the enter key after each command
tar-zxvf cnijfilter-mg3100series-3.60-1-deb.tar.gz
cd cnijfilter-mg3100series-3.60-1-deb
./install.sh
..........the terminal will then start intereacting with you: asking you if you want to connect by wireless or USB.........telling you when to turn the printer on .......

YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY the name that the new Canon driver has...........

......if this works, and you want to use the scanner side of your device, I can guide you on that..........

install ScanGearMP for Canon MG3100 series

Post by pdc_2 »

delighted it is working for you:

for the scanner: go here:

http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/cont ... 94102.html

and download

MG3100 series ScanGear MP Ver. 1.80 for Linux (debian Packagearchive)

.....as before, by default, it should be saved into your Downloads directory, if you indicate SAVE FILE of the two options......

essentially as for the printer driver......
cd Downloads
tar -zxvf scangearmp-mg3100series-1.80-1-deb.tar.gz
cd scangearmp-mg3100series-1.80-1-deb
./install.sh
.......that should have it installed.....

......for its first airing......
scangearmp
.....should load the programme..

........what is called a launcher can be created; so that by clicking on the icon of the launcher, you can load scangearmp in the future

I use Mate Mint 13 32bit so I just right-click on the bottom bar etc...........

if you are using Cinnamon I think you need this

http://www.linuxandlife.com/2012/07/how ... nt-13.html

let us know how you get along

Hi,
Now everthing works like wonder - thank you, this was very helpful. By the way I use Mint Mate 64bit and there was no problems at all installing and making the printer work.
Thank you!

Canon MG3100 series now flying!

Post by pdc_2 »

great! enjoy

............inside the MG3100 series debian package; are both 32bit and 64bit packages........the install.sh looks to see what you have.......and should install the correct one so the old lib64 issues are hopefully gone.........

if you mark the title as solved, that is good as Vincent V describes below

"And you can mark solved your topic by editing your first post of a topic and adding <SOLVED> to the subject."

Re: Trouble printing in Color

Post by cozski »

Hey, I've been unsuccesfully trying to install a Canon Pixma MG3150 in Ubuntu 12.04 but for some reason the GDebi Package installer keeps coming up with the error message

The MIME type of this file is 'application/x-tar' and cannot be installed on this system

So I ditched this for Mint 14 because I saw this post and thought it would help me to resolve this issue. Currently the system sees the Printer and I can print from it but no joy iinstalling the Printer Drivers as posted here.

Any help/support warmly welcomed.
Thanks.
Peace, Love & Light x)0(x

MG3100 series Canon printer

Post by pdc_2 »

Hi cozski; trust it is a warm evening in Dublin; (or at least, that the pubs are open.......)

I am not sure if you are using 32bit or 64bit;
but no joy iinstalling the Printer Drivers as posted here.
can you help us understand what you did, ...........that did not seem to work........

if you copy and paste this command
sudo dpkg -l | grep cnijfilter
into a terminal, it looks to see if the MG3100 series driver is installed; if it was ........it would say
ii cnijfilter-common 3.60-1 IJ Printer Driver for Linux.
ii cnijfilter-mg3100series 3.60-1 IJ Printer Driver for Linux.
...........so if you don't see any of the above,

with Mint, if you go to your desktop, you see an icon that says cozski's home .............. is that correct?

...left click or double-click to open that and you should see Downloads; left click or double-click to open that and you should see a cnijfilter-mg3100series-3.60-1-deb.tar.gz

If you right-click on it, an option should be: "Open with Archive Manager" ......do that .......

....that helps you see the contents........

.....open the packages folder............. either by a single click or double-click depending on how you set your system up........

it has 2 common packages.......one for 32bit and one for 64bit...........

and 2 specific packages...............one for 32bit and one for 64bit...........

1) you need to install the COMMON PACKAGE first........for the 32bit or 64bit ........depending on what you have installed......RIGHT-CLICK and select install with gdebi installer
2) now install the specific package (MG3100series) .......for the 32bit or 64bit ........depending on what you have installed......

.....that should work ........

.........if your system is other than: a freestanding computer; connected to the printer by USB cable; with internet coming in just to this computer through router or modem..........

......... you need to tell us ........
