What model of Canon printer is it? I just took a look on the Canon website and they do provide CUPS printer drivers for use under Linux on a number of their products. I'm sorry mate, my comments may not necessarily be what you want to hear, but without manufacturer support your printer's as good as a door stop unless you find some way to modify a Windows driver to work under Linux.ĭid you try selecting another model of Canon printer in Settings > Printers? Canon scanners on the other hand I find downright fantastic, even under Linux. I flog this Brother HL-3150CDN color laser printer day in day out in relation to my own business and it's been going strong for a good four years or so now without missing a beat - All under Linux using Libre Office with font substitution for the proprietary Microsoft fonts. Not too sure where you got the idea from that there's only three manufacturers to consider when it comes to printers?! If a company like Brother intends to stand by their product regarding between 1 and 3 percent of the computing population - They're worth every cent in my book, and their devices are built like tanks. I supply Brother printers to many of the companies I do IT work for, never had an issue with the exception of printers dying of old age after being flogged day in, day out for many, many years.
