I have posted the canon_mg2100-3.60.pet above. Your printer will be listed in CUPS as a Canon MG2100 Series, not as a Canon PIXMA.HDPE wrote:Hi I am running puppy racy 5.2.2 have a canon pixma MG2160
Racy has a control panel on the desktop. It has an option for setting up a printer. However, Wary 522 had significant problems with printing and I expect that they are also in Racy 522. Read here.any step by step instructions to set up appreciated.will post reply for any help given, thank you in advance
got it thanks
after actually reading puppy setup instructions I got canon ip80 ip90 running with cups.
For the benefit of other users, could you clarify some things?
1. What Puppy version are you using?
2. What is the correct model name of the first printer? Is it an i80 or an iP80?
3. I'm assuming that you used a Gutenprint driver when you did the install in CUPS. Which model did you choose for each printer?
I have posted above the official Canon iP90 driver. It may yield better quality output than the Gutenprint driver.

Canon Printer Drivers
Yes fair call.
for the record not a fluent puppy user yet.
1. What Puppy version are you using?
A> Puppy Wary 5.2.2
2. What is the correct model name of the first printer? Is it an i80 or an iP80?
A>The physical printer i used was an iP90 , i also have i80 and the iP90v printers(v is for vista apparently) but i have not tried on the i80 or 90v
3. I'm assuming that you used a Gutenprint driver when you did the install in CUPS. Which model did you choose for each printer?
A)from memory and its something i will redo as an exercise for confirmation purposes,(as my memory isn't articulate) on selecting add printer in the cups menu , i typed 'ip90' as the device/printer , the device was already connected via usb, a drop down list appeared with canon i80 in the lineup, i selected canon i80 and then selected print test page and it printed.,so i saved it as default, note however the print is/was a bit greyscale, but that was acceptable as i typically choose greyscale for economising on ink.
much obliged for the above driver! , will see if i can get it configured.
will get back to confirm the actions above and Cups or Gutenberg once i can carry out the exercise from live cd 5.2.2

confirmation
as expected yes your right,
IT WAS the Canon i80 Cups+ Gutenprint 5.2.7 driver
used with a portable Canon iP90 , ran through the steps with a wary 5.2.2 live cd ,was going to post screenshots but decided to remain text only. Still have not configured your posted iP90 driver .
also, attempting setup of FATDOG64 for print, so > expect me< on that thread.
thanks again for your efforts.

iP90 pet
Hi again,
have tried to get the ip90 pet provided to work , using 2.6.33.2 puppy lucid , the iP90 pet does help identify the printer, but after selecting it in cups lineup of printers , no printing occurs, [printer status is "idle, but accepting jobs] however choosing i80 gutenberg or [after installing your provided iP100 pet] and selecting iP100 in lineup it does print. , i80 appears to have more comprehensive print options than iP90 and iP100 though.
strange how i
p100 works for me and not iP90.
any suggestions?
p.s i have the windows cd for iP90 and iP90v if wanted.

all good
yes, that updated iP90 pet canon printer driver for [ lupu ] newer puppy you just provided works very well, Thank you. the text is a better size than running iP100 pet*1 [*1-using iP100 pet with iP90 printer] and the colour strength has increased and the format of web pages is better than cups+gutenberg i80 driver*2 [*2-using i80 cups+gutenberg driver with canon iP90 printer]
will test the first iP90 driver with puppy wary prob 2moro.
