Canon MX870 Printer driver problems.

[Valtam]

Did you add the canon-trunk or the canon-stable? If you added the canon-stable it won't work.

Remove any printers first, Menu, System, Printers.
Then open a terminal and do:

Code:

sudo apt-get remove cndrvcups-common* cnijfilter* scangearmp*
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:michael-gruz/canon-stable
sudo apt-get update

Then do:

wget http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tiff3/libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
rm libtiff*

OR if you are on 64bit:

wget http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/t/tiff3/libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
rm libtiff*

Then do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-mx870series

Then go to Menu, System, Printers and add your printer.
