Title: Canon Imageclass D570 laser printer/scanner driver
Post by: vint on February 28, 2022, 12:42:58 PM
Howdy folks,
I have a Canon Imageclass D570 printer/scanner I purchased late last year and it works exceptionally well with Windows 7 home premium.  Linux Lite recognizes the printer and scanner but there isn't a driver available with Linux Lite 5.8, so I downloaded a driver from the Canon website but I am not sure how to install it since I'm so new to the LL OS.  I've read what I could find on the manual and other websites but since I'm not familiar with command line yet I need some beginner instructions please. 
 
Regards,
Vint

Vint,

Can you report what driver you have downloaded and where exactly you are stuck when installing it ?

If it is a archive (tar) file, there may be a readme file with installation instructions.

Steve,
I'm stuck at the beginning because I don't know command line yet and according to what I've read elsewhere I need to install the file using the command line.  This is the file I downloaded from the Canon site, let me know if this is what you need.

/home/vint/Downloads/linux-UFRII-drv-v540-usen-20.tar.gz

Thanks

To see if your downloaded archive file contains specific instructions - take a look inside it using the GUI.

Open your Downloads folder and double click on linux-UFRII-drv-v540-usen-20.tar.gz

This should show you the files contained in the archive.  Look for a file named README or similar.
If there is one, right click and extract it to a preferred location, then close the archive and view the extracted file with the appropriate application for the README.  If the README requires use of command line you can open a terminal using 'Ctrl+Alt+t' or right click 'Open Terminal here'.

There are many beginner guides for using the command line.  The Linux Lite one is in the Help Manual under 'Install' then 'Terminal Basics'

Howdy stevef,

I will give it a try today and let you know where it leads.  I've been using the command line doing the copy and paste thing and actually performed a virus scan all on my own. 
I appreciate the help.

Howdy stevef,

I feel a bit silly not looking there first, I guess it's because I don't want to break anything but I extracted the readme file and skimmed through the files and the Canon install guide and it looks straight forward enough.  It will be a slow process for me so when I have read it all thoroughly I will install it.  I appreciate your help and if I have anymore questions I'll let you know.  Have a great day.

Well it took several tries using the link you shared and also the install instructions from Canon and I finally was able to install the driver.  Unfortunately even though the printer is recognized it is a state of pause and when I go to the printer install page it has two printers of the same name?  I was unable to register the printer and I don't know why those instructions wouldn't let me.  The printer is plugged in with a USB to my computer and following the instructions I unplugged the printer and USB and then plugged it back in but the same info still comes up.  I deleted the two printers on the printer set up and now I'm stuck.  Not sure where to go from here.

Vint

I really like the way LL works on my computer, it works as advertised on an older system.  I spent quite some time researching different distros, what works and doesn't work on older hardware and LL fits real nice.  The problem I have is if I am unable to get a simple thing like a printer to work, something I need and use everyday that is a big problem.  I have a dual boot setup that might be the problem but following the directions & command line from Canon didn't work all the way as I was unable to execute using their commands.  I used the directions from the link stevef gave me & time after time I was unable to execute the command using the commands it gave.  After looking in help from the command page it was stated that I needed to use a package manager to install the file, this is something I didn't know & so I installed the driver file to synaptic package manager and the install worked.  Something I didn't know at the time is that if the printer is already registered through plug and play (Windows 7) there will be a problem, the printer won't work unless another command is inserted I assume during the process.  The command line Canon gives for this is long and hard to discern, also I already deleted the printer's from the printer set up without uninstalling the driver and that might also be a problem, there were 2 printers of the same name on the setup?  why is that?  I also found out after installing the driver that I was supposed to click no if the printer is USB and not network on registration.

I am not sure where to go from here or what to do next, should I uninstall everything and start over? 

Help.

Sometimes newer/newest of peripherals like printers - may take sometime to make it into the kernel as a supported device.
Not a Linux downside - I'd call it a manufacture but I digress...
If you've followed the install link provided to download and install the driver - you shouldn't need to do again..
You can remove the printers and re-add following the tutorial... The screens may look slightly different but they are essentially the same.


Just in case you missed it - cause I did at first there are 2 links in "Contents" (maybe for others in the future)

Install Driver:

vint,

I don't see any way that what you've done under the Windows install can affect what happens under the Linux install - unless you are referring to something like online product registration with Canon.  Without the same printer we are relying on accurate information from you about what is happening.

If you are having problems with a specific command please let us know specific information - e.g. What instructions you are following, what command within those instruction is failing to execute and how does the system respond when you try execute the command.  If it is failing in the GUI, give us some indication of what you are doing to determine it is failed.

It sounds as though you've got multiple sources of information and had multiple attempts, so perhaps starting over with a totally clean slate is the way forward.

@firenice03 @stevef ,
First I read install and add printer instructions in the link, I then read the install instructions from Canon.  The Canon install commands were different than the one's in the link but that wasn't the primary problem, what is left out of the instructions is that the driver file must be moved over to a package manager for any installation to work with the command line;  after 2 hours of trying to find out what I did wrong & learning how to move the driver file over to the package manager I honestly can't recall which install command worked.  I do know that in the cautions in the Canon install instructions it states that if the printer is USB connected press no to register the printer, since I didn't read that part I pressed yes.  When I opened the add printer UI there were 2 printers?  I was asked to register the printer but the D570 wasn't listed so I went to the list, checked it and went back and refreshed but all was grayed out except 2 sets of numbers and it wouldn't let me input my printer name.
Under system and printer the register UI is still there, I attempted several test prints and the troubleshooter stated that the printer is paused, I deleted the 2 printers from the printer UI and unplugged & plugged in the printer but nothing comes up at all. 
In the Canon cautions it states that if a printer was registered with plug and play a code they give must be input to solve the multi path issue. 
This is all I know, and I am unable to push a pencil through the screen to help you see what is going on I understand that.  I have to have my printer and scanner working with any OS I use, though I have had problems in the past even with plug and play on Windows I was able to resolve it.  I am not sure why installing a printer has to be such a problem but with Linux it just is, of course unless you have an HP printer.  Leaving important things like a package manager out of instructions isn't funny for a beginner to Linux, it would be like me leaving out a barge rafter on a house.  I am thinking of maybe starting all over by removing LL from my computer & doing a reinstall, or going through the complicated long process of removing the printer driver.  Just an FYI in the printer section of the LL help cloud printing is still mentioned and of course Google did away with that a while ago.
I'm open to any suggestions you may have that will make my printer work or give any info I have.

I appreciate the help,

vint

@vint..
Can you link the Canon info? It may shed some light...

So you've ran the install.sh script - I dont know if register has much to do.
BUT you've removed the 2 printers that were installed...

Try logging into CUPS and see if the printer still exists - if so remove it.
http://localhost:631 (http://localhost:631)

Access the URL above from that system using a web browser..


Then attempt to re-add...   



As you mention -- typing a description can be hard..
Should you receive error messages, copy and paste can help ensure the message is conveyed as are screenshots.
If you use print screen you will be prompt to add to imgur click this and capture the BBC code from imgur to paste the link in the thread.. This should be in the welcome email and in the forums if additional instruction is needed..

I had a post that got jacked up - I'll retype...
But IF the URL does not work or go to a CUPS/Printing page, thats ok that is what I need to know - I don't expect you to research or figure CUPS out.

I'll redo my post -- just a minute

/home/vint/Downloads/linux-UFRII-drv-v540-usen/Documents/UsersGuide-ufr2-US.html will get you to the install guide on Canon. 
We cannot view this file - it resides in your Downloads folder on your system.

I ran the install and the printer driver is installed,
I removed the printers from the printer UI, the register the printer is still there in the Canon set up utility 2 UI in the menu.
So did this install process also add a "Setup Utility" or when you rerun it shows it already listed?


Quote
The printer still works on the Windows 7 side without any problems and that is a good thing. 
As it should - We're in a different OS, we shouldnt affect Windows and Windows shouldnt affect Linux (for the most part)


Quote
I would like to know how difficult it is to uninstall LL from a dual boot set up and then reinstall? 
You can just rerun the LL installed - you should see an option to reinstall LL or reuse those partitions etc. OR
you can choose "Something Else" and format "/" and reinstall (depending what options presented)

I will do my best that is all I can do, you must understand that I know almost nothing of how to get around in Linux;
and everyone has a different opinion and answer.
I understand = and just as you have 2 people helping we're not taking you down different paths.
We're trying to walk aloing side you and where you've been.


I'm asking for the basic most obvious, a step could have been skipped or left out of the process, or a typo.. Sometimes its the simple things.
And it can be the little things as simple as -f versus -F as example can mean 2 seperate things.


If you don't know something I dont want you researching how it works, just the obvious.. It didnt work or I got "yada yada"
Don't over think it...


So at this point for kicks and grins.. have you attempted reinstalling via the link?
Its not going to hurt to reinstall - it should at best overwrite any files.


I'd like to try - making note of any prompts and or messages..


If we're in the same boat still and depending what else has all been tried it may not hurt to reinstall..
Unless... Have you by chance made a TimeShift backup? prior to any of the printing stuff?
We can revert..


We'll get you there... **SEE NEXT**

I'm running it thru in a VM - obviously I dont have the printer BUT

After extracting the archive - and buried in Canon support is.. Installing Using Installer..
https://oip.manual.canon/USRMA-0586-zz-DR-enUS/contents/dlu-inst-installer.html (https://oip.manual.canon/USRMA-0586-zz-DR-enUS/contents/dlu-inst-installer.html)

Open terminal where the install is (in file manager locate it - right click open terminal)
You want to follow the Debian or Ubuntu specific instructions (not Cent/RedHat or other)

Use the
Code: [Select]
sudo ./installskip this command and follow along -- it will reinstall... This follows the same "tutorial" page **Disconnect Printer (USB)

Code: [Select]
$ su
# ./install.sh


yes "y" to the 1st prompt
no to the second should suffice - see below - if you yes not a big  deal

Registering a Printer or.. (yes skip the modules individually)
https://oip.manual.canon/USRMA-0586-zz-DR-enUS/contents/dlu-inst-reg_utility.html (https://oip.manual.canon/USRMA-0586-zz-DR-enUS/contents/dlu-inst-reg_utility.html)

Follow this - read it 1st get an idea what you'll be asked.
If the printer is already listed - see the
Code: [Select]
If the above icon is displayed multiple times in the app list, check the explanation of each one by right-clicking the icon and select the Canon Printer Setup Utility corresponding to this driver.
You're using USB - skip any network set up

If it was already installed == Maybe ?
Code: [Select]
If printing cannot be performed correctly with the registered printer, use the Canon Printer Setup Utility to delete the printer by clicking [Delete] and then register the printer again by clicking [Add].

@firenice03,
1) I thought sending the file that contained the link would be enough, sorry
2) There was a setup utility, not from Canon
3) It is stated in the cautions that registered with Windows can cause problems on another system (linux)
4) I will look for the specific uninstall language later, thank you.
5) I appreciate the help, you can't see what I see and that makes everything harder.
6) You ask if I've attempted to re install the driver?  no
7) I made several mistakes while trying to install the printer driver, I did however pay attention to spacing and punctuation line for line.  The problem was that I didn't know I had to use a package manager to install the driver.  After several failed attempts I used the help on the command line to find out what I was doing wrong.
8) I tried several times to install the printer on CUPS but it only sees it as a network printer without a driver and test jobs say printing not responding.
9) I'm not over thinking it, trying to figure out where the problem lies and also understanding the Linux language coming from Windows.  Setting up a printer shouldn't have this many steps involved or be this difficult.
10) Having a dual set up to discover and learn Linux & Linux Lite lets me rely on W7 to do my daily work that is needed and so I haven't much on the LL OS and don't have any time shifts made up yet.  I could start over and be back where I'm at now fairly quickly.  Well, that depends on how difficult it is to erase and reinstall.

I'm not sure what you mean notes and messages, you will have to elaborate on that.  I've read your other comments below and I will most likely wait until tomorrow to dive into this again.  I do wonder why when I unplug the printer and turn it back on that nothing happens, also why is it recognized as a network printer. 

regards,
vint

@vint - sorry I meant ...
 making note of any prompts and or messages..

When you're in "Printers"
- do you see your printer?

if so, Right Click the printer - click Properties
- in Settings, do you see "Print Test Page" near bottom?
- if so, Click it..

Watch for any messages on screen - sometimes in the upper right corner..
Let us know the error if any...

Did anything print?

if not, Click "Cancel" on the properties screen if still open... or Slide window out of way

If Printers window is still open - Click Printer (next to server have icon highlighted) then "View Print Queue"
Are there any 'jobs' in this queue window?

-if so Cancel and Delete any jobs once cleared out - try a test page once again..
Did this print or just stays in the queue?

if sits in queue; Does the job error or say spooling?


Below is a screen shot of the screens you should see..
Left side top to bottom
Print Queue
Printers
Settings /test page


Right side is what cups looks like... the 2 that would be of use...
http://localhost:631/printers/
http://localhost:631/jobs/

@firenice03, Yes I see the printer and I have done everything you have stated.  Test print says the printer is paused or not responding, nothing printed but all jobs were left in the queue. I cleared the queue and started over and I get the same message.  In CUPS it did the same thing, test print job was in the queue and stated paused.  Your screen shots are similar to what I see on mine.  I haven't messed with it to much today just the scanner that works, that is a good thing and I was shocked that it worked.  vint

FYI, I haven't tried to reinstall the driver, also the printer set up still says that it is a network printer.  So should I uninstall the printer driver and then install again?  Also do I have to use the command line to delete the printer from the system?  I know that in W7 even though the peripheral is deleted I still have to go into reg edit to find left over files associated with the device and delete them.  I'm at a stand still with this because I'm not sure where to go from here.

yes just the USB - it can be powered on..

Specifically during the registration process... Step 2

Quote
For printers connected via USB
(1) Turn the main power of the printer ON → connect the computer and printer via USB cable → click [Refresh].
If the printer is displayed in the list, printer registration is complete.
If the printer is not displayed in the list, proceed to the next step.
(2) Disconnect and reconnect the cable with the main power of the printer ON → click [Refresh].

I've been dealing with this since March and I have the same problem with the printer driver, I went to Canon and and copied and pasted the command for removing the driver and printer and the terminal didn't recognize the command language.  I removed the printer from the printer set up or gui and I did a purge but the scanner is still there.  The command line language that is given by Canon says it is for Debian but it doesn't work.  So how am I to start over if I am unable to rid my machine of the driver?  I know that no one here can see what is going on but I have read a lot over the past 5 months and still haven't a resolution and I need my printer to work with LL in order to eventually ditch W7.  I need to have the correct command language to remove all traces of the printer driver files so I can start over with the install.  I also don't know how to log into CUPS to find out if the printer is there.  I will keep looking and reading but this is BS that I am having this much trouble installing a simple printer/scanner from a world wide known company.

Hi!

Sorry if this sounds dissapointing but I had a Canon LBP 5000, and got that much trouble, that I gave it up.
Beside that, I hated the idea of dual-booting just for a printer :( It just pissed me off each time I had to reboot, in order to print something. I'm sure you tested the feeling!
What I recommend, is get a Samsung (seems they ditched the printer production, though...) or a HP. Those work. I have monochrome ones, but I know from my connections that they work fine.

Another choice that looks good, is Brother. Affordable, even here, in Romānia. Never had one though, so I rely only on feedback. I checked the Brother support site and they provide a .deb package for the printers so I guess they work as expected. Again, this is my opinion based on indirect feedback and digging the net.

Besides, there are compatible cartridges that work also fine and they are cheaper than the manufacturer's ones.
For a Brother multi (BROTHER DCP-1510E), the compatible cartridge, is 70% off the original ones.

On Canon I tried to do the same, but had trouble: the compatibles are at about 90% of the Canon ones. Why bother, then?

I know it is your call. Just trying to provide the PROs and CONs.
I have some 20 years of printing practice, mostly graphics, both on ink and laser so I had to "do my homework". :)

A wise approach, is ask around the people you know. Maybe here is someone that uses other printers (including HP and Brother) and they are sure qualified enough to provide first-hand feedback. Since my HP 1018 works fine for already 15 years, I stand for Jerry's policy: "If it works, why change it?"

Another idea:

I never go for the price of any device. My eyes are on the TCO: Total Cost of Ownership.
That is: (Initial cost + maintainance + consumables) / year x years of (good...) service. A different approach, I admit it...
If the figures go down over the years, It's good. If they keep the same, it's toooooooo expensive.

Hope that is helpful! :)

Best regards!

The reason the printer shows up as a network printer in Linux Lite is because you previously used it in Windows. This does not mean that the printer is using Linux drivers and/or can work in Linux, only that it can work over a Windows network connection to a Linux OS desktop with some limitations. Canon states that the Linux D570 printer drivers (deb and/or rpm) are not ready so I'm not sure where you found such drivers. The scanner works in Linux because there is a complete Linux SANE (scanner access now easy) library for the Canon D570. Two different things.

Howdy Serban,

Canon does provide the deb package, the driver and the installation went well except for me, the problem was my fault with the installation and being very green with the terminal language in Linux Lite.  I use my printer with a USB plug in not as a network printer and I pressed yes when I should have pressed no.  So now I'm stuck trying to start over and the deb terminal language in the Canon removal isn't liked by Linux Lite Terminal.  I just purchased this laser printer/scanner in 2021 and I am not going to purchase a new one just to satisfy Linux and their inability to provide an easier way to install printers.  I don't mind dual boot as I still use Windows for many things but I have found little help on the forum with this, and I am just going to have to fix it myself.   

Until I figure it out I'll keep using W7 to print and since Linux is so good I can download from LL to USB and take it to W7 and print without any problems at all.  I chose Linux Lite knowing that printers are a major problem with all things Linux unless you have an HP and I will never purchase another one of their printers because they are a $$$$$ pit, and so is Epson for that matter. 
Anyway, thanks for the pep talk and I appreciate the help and you have a blessed day.

Best regards,

deb terminal language
Where did you find that and what is it specifically? Post the code you used.

Trinidad,
The reason it shows up as a network printer is because I pressed yes instead of no, as it is plugged in with USB and was never used as a network printer on Windows, I haven't a network any longer in my office.  I made the mistake and I'm just trying to start over with the installation process, Canon does have the printer driver package so I am not sure where or what you're looking at.  I'll figure it out eventually but the removal language for the terminal on Canon gives the terminal fits so I'm trying to find a solution and until then since I dual boot it works just fine on Windows.  The driver is available on the Canon website, what code are you referring too?

That code.

That is why Linux sees it as a network printer.

I will have to go to the readme file first and then copy it and I'm a bit busy at the moment so it will be a while

Trinidad,
It is a network printer because I made the mistake upon installation, the choice is y or n and I pressed y, # dpkg -P cnrdrvcups-ufr2-us is the removal code.

 For Linux Lite probably should be
Code: [Select]
sudo dpkg --purge cnrdrvcups-ufr2-us

You don't need to run logged in as root. The # is not part of the code.
And by the way the blame for print driver problems in on the OEMs (Canon in this case) not on Linux in general.

It will still be seen as a network printer because the sane librarys are complete.

@Triinidad,
I appreciate the help and I will certainly give the supplied code a try, as far as blaming Linux I'm not laying all of the blame on them.  I know Canon as well as other OEM's do as little as possible to help out those who use Linux because the fact is that Microsoft has the lions share of OS' out there and that is who they cater to.  Also, I asked the question about windows and the printer a few months ago of two well known forum regulars and they disagree and said that Windows has nothing to do with the problem and since I am the one who messed up I tend to agree.   I would like to know how to sign into cups though so I can make sure that the printer is removed, how do I sign in?  Thanks for the help and have a great day.

@vint @trinidad


I gave another look on Canon's == I did see a recently updated driver..
https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/imageclass-d570


As of 9/8/22 - UFR II/UFRII LT Printer Driver for Linux V5.60... Its a tar file (.tar.gz) - I can try and run an install in a 5.8 later this eve maybe..
Could be worth a shot???

If so, make a Timeshift backup prior for a restore point....

Howdy firenice03,
That is one thing I haven't done yet and thanks for checking, it's night time here at the Ponderosa and all are asleep but me and I was checking email and saw your response.  My focus lately was making sure all of the remains were removed so I could start over.  I kind of let it go during the summer because I have many other things to do and it is just easy to go to W7 and print what ever I need.  I will check out the link you gave me tomorrow and if all goes well now that I have a little bit more knowledge of Linux maybe I can follow the instructions this time.  I want all to know out there in LL forum land that I am not bashing Linux Lite or Linux at all about the printer thing.  I am so happy with LL and what it has brought to my old laptop that I love and I am thankful to all of you here on the forum who have patience with Linux green horns like me.  When coming from decades of using Windows to do everything it makes us lazy.  Before Windows I actually had to use the command line for everything on our old IBM 8085. 

Best regards,
