Canon pixma mg4200 driver and scanner install [Solved]

Post by kido »

I wanted to install the driver for this canon printer and I got first the error:
dependency is not satisfiable: libtiff4
I found that I have to download the libtiff4 from here
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/amd6 ... 4/download

When I tried again to install the driver I got this error:
dependency is not satisfiable: cnijfilter-common (>=3.80)
How can I solve this?

I have Linux Mint 18.3 and my sistem is on 64biti.

Download the right driver from Canon Europe, and make a fixed package editing Debian/control file like the next way:

Thank you administrollaattori for your help.
I connected the printer to the internet by wireless and worked to print.

I installed, also, the ScanerGear MP, to have the scanner, but I don't see any interface on my computer to scan using the printer connected by wireless.

Do you know how to do that?

Is the scanner detected? Via Terminal the next commands tells.

Code: Select all

scanimage -L

Code: Select all

sudo scanimage -L

This is what I got from terminal for first 2 commands:

Code: Select all

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
For the last one:
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
