Re: Canon mg2240 not printing
Same Problem with Konica Minolta Magicolor 1600W.
The printer shows up as a printer device. But this when I inspect, the printer properties says its using some generic text print driver which has never printed a page.

Canon MG2240 needs a Canon printer driver
Hi there UYS88;
You have a Canon MG2240 and Canon supply linux drivers for their printers; I find that the Canon Asia website is very good for drivers;
so if I go here http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/cont ... 66201.html I have selected the Debian package (as Mint uses ubuntu .....that uses debian packaging.......)
it comes down as cnijfilter-mg2200series-3.80-1-deb.tar.gz
if I suggest some commands to copy and paste into a terminal: terminal is found about 4 up from the MENU sign at the bottom left;
......to paste into a terminal, I suggest using the top line of the terminal............edit........paste as the shortcut is ShiftControlV and therfore you need 3 fingers at once!
.......so if you download the package to your Downloads directory ......
Your MG2240 also has a scanner function: Canon provide ScanGearMP to run that
if you download the scanner printer from here
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/cont ... 69701.html
it comes down as scangearmp-mg2200series-2.00-1-deb.tar.gz
....... if you CLOSE your terminal; and open it again ...........
if you copy and paste
.......as in attached thumbnail:
NAME is whatever you wish
COMMAND needs to be what you typed above ie scangearmp

.....hit ENTER key after each paste ............cd Downloads
tar -zxvf cnijfilter-mg2200series-3.80-1-deb.tar.gz
cd cnijfilter-mg2200series-3.80-1-deb
that should install the printer driver ........../install.sh

Re: Canon mg2240 not printing
my apologies for not answering earlier; ....I usually subscribe to a thread.......and the subscribe mechanism does not seem to have worked.....
I include the thumbnail from Synaptic showing mine is already installed; type libtiff4; click when it gets offered; right-click to install and use the APPLY button the top line to make it happen!
I see by the miracles of Mint I already have this installed: if you open Package Manager: from your Menu button: find using the Search option if needed;libtiff4
