This info was awesome! Total Linux newbie here. I got my MX922 working on both my Debian VM in Hyper-V and my MX Linux physical laptop. Also learned much more about the software store (newbie, remember?). Thank you!
MX922 is EASY-- there is a driver for it-- in the printer setup software you can add separately... i've done MANY canon printers--- BUT the ONLY ONE THAT WILL NOT is a TS702a. There is NO driver in the gutenprint database or the foomatic database-- no "print without driver" for it or anything. THIS particular printer WILL NOT WORK WITH LINUX-- period!!!! MX922 will work just fine-- wireless OR through USB (I always connect mine to the computer directly with a USB cable) and this works because Foomatic and gutenprint BOTH offer drivers for the MX in the database. DOWNLOAD a software called PRINT SETTINGS.. and it is there.. in both..
Very well presented! I do however have a major problem which i have been trying to fix for quite some time now: at the ui at 15:18 i do not have Canon selectable. I even installed cups-bjnp because it says that it provides the backend features needed for it - but it still doesn't show up. any more guesses as to how i could get it to work?
@@Kensownvids after way longer than i am willing to admit i found kind of a fix: the aur package canon-pixma-ts5055-complete made it possible to print with my pixma printer but scanning is basically impossible it seems. now looking into switching to windows cause i can't always invest time into minor things like these and then not even be able to scan... but still, very awesome video!
