my apologies for delay in replying; many thanks for this; most kind of you to point this out; now using Opera and Vivaldi

dooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .......

Don't know what stupidity I did before: the file magically opened; I magically deleted the entry: all good;

many thanks for the kind and prompt and supportive help. very grateful; all best wishes

to MrEen: sorry: my mistake: I did use what you suggested; it was this disparity between what opening it as GUI; and seeing the triplicate; and then using CLI and not seeing the triplicate! Edit the file as root just remind what the command is please: since moving to Ubuntu/Mint all those years ago,...

so I get this message W: Target Packages (main/binary-amd64/Packages) is configured multiple times in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list:1 and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/additional-repositories.list:2 and if I go to Menu: Computer and use the GUI to get to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/addi...

thanks for this: Brave gets good reviews;

I had used Vivaldi in the past; so I had put it in, before I saw your comments. I have installed prior bookmarks from Iridium, and I will see how it goes. many thanks.

"how did you install it?"

Why? What were you thinking?

so I had the older (2018?) version installed; I was getting warnings to install the newer version: I saved my settings; and took the bold step of deleting as I was could not see if I could easily just install the newer version on top. NOw I get this message The following packages have unmet dependen...

if you download the driver, you can actually check for yourself; Canon were providing 32bit and 64bit; open the package

thanks Billy;

if usb connected, one will be called lp0 and the next will be lp1

but be aware that whichever is lp0 will always be seen as that; so if you turn on what is lp1 as the first to turn on, the system will not print; lp0 must always be turned on first;

so that needs the UFR driver https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/laser/laserbase_mf_series/i-sensys_mf4380dn.html?type=drivers&driverdetailid=tcm:13-1506758&os=linux%20%2864-bit%29&language=en it comes down as linux-UFRII-drv-v500-uken-04.tar.gz if y...

so this needs the CAPT driver and several commands sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP7010C -P /usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP7018CCAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP7010C -o /dev/usb/lp0 ........ assuming only one usb printer sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start ........ would yo...

Canon do a driver for this MG7700 series device what about installing that driver and evaluating it? If you go here https://asia.canon/en/support/0100690202/1 and click to download and save what will be cnijfilter2-5.20-1-deb.tar.gz (so it is a generic driver Canon have taken to issuing in recent ye...

so this a different way of reporting; than in older versions; previously it would have said Canon Printer Daemon for CUPS: ccpd: 8956 8954 ..... there should be two sets of 4-digit numbers; (the actual numbers can vary .....) The old advice was also to do gedit /etc/ccpd.conf so that uses the text e...

could you do
please; if you paste that command into a terminal

could you copy the result and paste it back here please

^^^^^^^^

oh, and this is the only usb printer connected to the computer, is it?

yes; install the common one first; then the other;

.. do delete any existing LBP entries in your PRINTERS folder, as you say they do not work;

Do the steps as advised: it should work

so Canon say you need to do the following steps: 1) download and install the drivers; 2) Register the printer (PPD) with the print spooler. 3) Register the printer in the ccpd daemon setup file. 4) Start ccpd daemon. I suggest you delete the existing entry; as it is not working; and start again: I d...

Hi there Bjorn up there in Trondheim; sorry to hear of your issues; it must be very frustrating; very irritating; Mint comes from Ubuntu; Ubuntu is noted for fast paced development; they had several major changes of things in the last couple of years; lots of changes; they wanted to have a unitary O...

so this seems curious; 2 separate installs of Mint 19; on the first one, the 244 did not work; on the second install, it did;

and both were the most recent 3.6 UFR driver; were both 64bit installs, of the same DE? .. ie mate or cinnamon?

you are selecting a 1320 driver; underneath that is a 1320n, and you say that is what your machine is: what selection do you get if you choose that please ? I would go for the simplest hpcups variant; ie 3.17.10 or whatever it is that should mean hplip ..... many of the others are open-source drivers;

so as I understand it; to be able to use a printer in linux; in general one needs to: 1) install the drivers 2) register the printer with lpadmin ........ so it knows which ppd file to use when you say "Use the BROWN printer" ... it has already learnt and says to itself; ..... ah, at the beginning, ...
