I have installed Mint 14 64 bit (Cinnamon version).
I have a Canon MG8150 multifunction inkjet and thus I installed the appropriate drivers.
The drivers seems to have installed properly.
The scan seems to work, and the scan utility the applications/graphic menu' gives me options (ike dpi quality) to manage the scanner.
For the printer, I clicked on the printer wizard in preferences: the printer has been recognized and added, but under options with the same tools, I have no option to manage the printer.
Is there any software already installed or that I should install to manage options like colors/bw ,quality and so on?
How can I manage my printer?

Re: How can I manage my printer?
OK, how about some info, what is your printer management software, is it a canon program or is it the standard CUPS control program
--which can manage a printer easily via its web interface localhost:631 (127,0.0.1:631)
631 is the CUPS port number to connect to its web program..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUPS
GtkLP interface style..

--not any nicer looking as CUPS own web page, and you don't want to add too many control programs trying to manage one system/device (printer..): it could get messy or confusing..

- GNOME CUPS Manager
The GNOME CUPS Manager can add new CUPS printers and manage CUPS printers and queues. There are other third-party applications to manage printing, for example GtkLP and its associate tool GtkLPQ, or GtkPSproc
- There is no problem using Cups and the Gnome printer wizard together, if you need some additional selections
--just don't turn off features you are already using, such as your scanner controls..
