Canon Printer Drivers - Updated 2016
Thx a lot man. I must have overlooked that post, I thought I went over all 12 pages in your thread
I will email this file to the user and we will see tomorrow if it works.
The PET installs like any other PET? Just click and it will place drivers in the correct place? And then the printer will show up?
Or is it first to run the PET and then run the CUPS /localhost/631 and go to the administration part?
And just to be sure, the printer must be turned on before starting the install, yes?
Thx for this great thread. I will post link in my thread to your download if that is ok.

Yes.The PET installs like any other PET? Just click and it will place drivers in the correct place?
No.And then the printer will show up?
Yes. Is the printer local USB or networked?Or is it first to run the PET and then run the CUPS /localhost/631 and go to the administration part?
Yes.And just to be sure, the printer must be turned on before starting the install, yes?

This was before install. I will give my "phone support" again tomorrow and I am sure things will work out.
I'll just try first the PET install and then run the CUPS again.
Btw. It seems some of the wizards remove all files in the print directory.
I'll post here tomorrow to tell how things worked.
Seems there is some small problems getting this to work.
Clicking the PET puts the drivers in /usr/share/cups/model/canonmx510.ppd
Then when I have them click Setup>Setup Cups Printing the printer can not be detected. The printer does however return Ping on 10.0.0.2.
Is there a way to manually add the printer IP to CUPS?
Can I alter the cups config or in any other way manually tell CUPS where to look for printer?

Canon Pixma MG 4250 (4200 series) request
I hope somebody can help me out with this one.
According to the sane project the Canon MG 4250 should be able to work under Xsane:
http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html#S-PIXMA
unfortunately it is not. Perhaps an udate is required for pixma_backend_5xx-1.0.23.pet because sane-backends is at version sane-backends-1.0.24
The other option would be to get the scanner working under scangear. But this one also needs updating, I can find the 1.40 version at this forum
scangearmp_common-1.40.pet but it appears the 2.00 version is needed.
I tried to install the Ubuntu .debs in Lucid Puppy as well as Carolina but it did not work out

I am currently out of options... any help would be greatly appreciated!

candi damages 2fs?
Hi rcrsn51,
Yes I want to test it! The candi option did not work yet. I installed candi 1.3 pet and then
cnijfilter-common_3.80-1_i386.deb
cnijfilter-mg4200series_3.80-1_i386.deb
scangearmp-common_2.00-1_i386.deb
scangearmp-mg4200series_2.00-1_i386.deb
all via the terminal candi ... option as advised.
They all installed in lucid puppy 528 but after tat puppy would not boot anymore (dropped out of X after reboot). I was not succesfull with xorgwizard either. Fortunately I have a backup of the 2fs from which I am posting now.
what can I now do?

I just tested this myself with a clean frugal install of Lupu 528 using the four MG4200 Debian files. It worked exactly as expected.
I cannot see any way that it would break X unless your savefile got filled up or had some corruption.
In any case, I have attached v1.0.24 of the SANE Canon pixma driver below.
[Edit] No reply. After several downloads and no feedback, I have removed the attachment.
Canon Printer Drivers
Several years ago, I waded into the friendly waters of this forum, with many questions. I had then (and have now) a (heretofore) trusty Dell Dimension 4500S, vintage 2002. It multi-boots Windows XP SP3, and three versions of puppy linux, with the most recent being the 5.25 Lupo iteration. Subsequent to a forced shutdown, a Windows file became corrupted, and would no longer boot. But of course, puppy does, flawlessly. I will not be restoring the Windows installation. It can sit there, while puppy continues to do all the hard labor, which he manages continually to look easy.
This circumstance led me to investigate puppy tahr 6.0.2, and what a revelation, as for my money, the distribution that can make any Microsoft acolyte wonder why they bother. Puppy is a grownup now, aging with grace, still as speedy and useful as ever.
Forum member rcrsn51 is an emblematic example of the kind of helpful, courteous, patient participant for which this forum is known, and upon whom I rely. I am not a linux geek, but with assistance like his, I don't need to be. Admission: I tried some other live distros as well: Mint, elementaryOS, Zorin, and one or two others. Eyecandy is good, but it doesn't get the work done, and nothing compares with the speed, organization, and stability of puppy. Long story short, I could not manage to get my Canon MG2520 scanner to work, except in puppy, thanks to rcrsn51, and his sweet little pet, candi.
So thank you. I am going to be walking this dog for a long time to come.
