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.
