Canon MP560
I am new to Linux Mint after windows 10 up date consigned this laptop to the computer scrap heap. I used you-tube for help to install mint, and to load open office as this is my program of choose on my main computer. I tried and failed to get my Canon MP560 to load. I tried to install by USB, it saw it and loaded the soft wear, but the print test page was blanked off, and it would not print. Do you have any ideas?. Thank you.

Re: Canon MP560
ho dear that did not work, but thanks for trying.
Re: Canon MP560
how old is that printer? some older printers should 'just install' from the Add-Printer dialogue in LinuxMint.
also try out this Guide:

and see if that helps.

Re: Canon MP560
about 6 years Pierre i will check the thread.
Re: Canon MP560
so Michael: what Pierre meant was go to MENU at bottom left; go to ADMINISTRATION and then to PRINTERS folder
click the ADD button top-left; wait while it looks around; it should identify your printer; and configure it;
if it does; right-click on the icon that should appear in that PRINTERS folder; look in PROPERTIES and look at the line that says MAKE & MODEL: it should say MP560 .. if it does not, look for the CHANGE button to the right of that. select CANON from the list that appears; then scroll down to MP560 and select it; if Mint didn't get it right first time

Re: Canon MP560
oh dear i have tried that, all of it, i down loaded the deb file and loaded it but still no go. On one of the packets i got "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable! Libiff4 " at the moment i am going to use a USB drive that is why i have both open office on my PC,s.
Re: Canon MP560
you need libtiff4 so go here to the Debian repositories https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libtiff4Dependency is not satisfiable! Libiff4 "
SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE ....... if you have 64bit Mint, select the amd package and click to download and install; then try the debian package again; alternative is:
Canon do supply a driver from here http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/cont ... 36502.html so you can click to download the full package which is cnijfilter-mp560series-3.20-1-i386-deb.tar.gz
you can open a terminal; copy the commands below; paste into the terminal and hit the ENTER key for each command;
Code: Select all
cd Downloads
Code: Select all
tar -zxvf cnijfilter-mp560series-3.20-1-i386-deb.tar.gz
Code: Select all
cd cnijfilter-mp560series-3.20-1-i386-deb
Code: Select all
sudo ./install.sh
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /usr/lib /usr/lib64
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib64
