Canon Pixma: drivers, print preview

[vbqyf]

Am a new user. Starting to convert all our 5 Windows systems to Linux. Running 19.2 Cinnamon on one now. We have 4 or 5 Canon Pixma Printers.
Question. Are there any drivers for these that would let us A. Print in Draft, and B. Have Print Preview as a regular option? Thanks.

It would be very unusual for any system which uses drivers (free or non-free) or operates without drivers not to offer Draft as a printing option. Print Preview is a function of an application, not a driver.

Thanks. I did find drivers for both printer and scanner on Canon's site (had looked earlier but couldn't find for some reason). It is a tarred .gz file so will unpack and see what the install instructions are. If any problem, will come back and post new. In the meantime, marking SOLVED. M.

There should be a .deb on the canon sites for all canon printers and scanners. You have to scroll down until you find the .deb files for the printer and scanner which is scangear.
