Installing the Canon PIXMA MG2520

[JmaCWQ]

Hello All,

The info in reply #10 wouldn't work for me to convert the package with the exact same model printer/scanner, kept telling me no such file or directory, I had to install Alien & use it for the conversion.


Here's the steps:

Open Terminal then

Code:

sudo apt-get install alien

Hit Enter, enter password, hit Enter again.
When it asks y/n hit y then Enter.

Close Terminal after alien's installed & make sure the .tar.gz file is in home/Downloads then open Terminal and

Code:

cd Downloads

Hit Enter

Then

Code:

sudo alien -d scangearmp-mg2500series-2.20-1-rpm.tar.gz

Hit Enter, enter password if required & hit Enter.

Might take a little while to do the conversion then you'll see a message in Terminal "scangearmp-mg2500series_2.20-2_all.deb generated"

That's it, then just double click on the newly created .deb package to install it  8)
