Hi mrnjon to set up a printer on linux, you used to have to 1)install the drivers 2) register the printer (PPD) with the print spooler. for the CAPT drivers, you need 4 steps 1 )install the drivers 2) Register the printer (PPD) with the print spooler. eg for a LBP1120 sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP11...

Hi there bjo_rii if you go old school; and go here https://asia.canon/en/support/0100626502/1?model=9539B and click to download what will be cnijfilter2-5.00-1-deb.tar.gz if you open a terminal; copy these commands one by one; paste them into the terminal; hit the ENTER key after each command cd Dow...

so wanlee my take on how to install the driver for your M2026 is go here https://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/closure/samsung-xpress-sl-m2026-laser-printer-series/16462610?ssfFlag=true&sku= and download what is uld_V1.00.39_01.17.tar.gz (if you select to SAVE, it should end up in you...

looking ahead; assuming you decide if you have CUPS installed; the key command with hplip seems to be hp-setup where one opens a terminal: (black TV screen on the bottom menu) and types in the command, and then hits the ENTER key: this link also talks about what to do https://askubuntu.com/questions...

I note some error messages error: cups CUPS - Common Unix Printing System REQUIRED 1.1 INCOMPAT 'CUPS may not be installed or not running ' error: dbus Bus - Message bus system REQUIRED 1.12.16 MISSING 'DBUS may not be installed or not running If you open up synaptic, and see if CUPS is installed eg...

Hi there; Canon make a UFR driver for this device: so if you go here https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/products/printers/laser/i-sensys_lbp6030.html?type=drivers&language=en&os=linux%20(64-bit) and download the compressed package, you get linux-UFRIILT-drv-v500-uken-18.t...

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...

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?
