Canon MX525 Mint 19 Cinn X64 CUPS Error

Post by youngfred »

Hi I'm having problems installing the printer My Lenovo thinkcentre and my Acer Extensa 5235 both have the same CUPS Error server error - internal error. they both have no problem finding the network printer then starts searching for drivers . My 3rd machine a home build from about 10 years ago found the printer and installed it without me doing anything at all . even before the full install and is working fine. All 3 were installed using the same USB stick Mint 19 Cinnamon.

then open a terminal and copy each command below and paste into the terminal: PASTE in the terminal is 3 keys: shift and control and v

Code: Select all

cd Downloads

cd cnijfilter-mx520series-3.90-1-deb

(I wonder if your problem is the airprint support built in to Mint 19: ...... I make suggestions as to what it is doing but let's see if the Canon drivers work for you)
