well my HP printer finally bit the dust and the wife needed/wanted to scan and post some old photo's ,,,,,,,So off to wallmart I go to for a cheep HP .
No go , all the HP's in stock are high $ one's but this Canon is like 40$ so home it go's
the pinter part worked out the box in the usual way, system settings>printer>add>pick the make and model (it was their) and it prints .
The Scanner however ,,,no go.
So off to CanoI go http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/...xma/index.aspx picked my model a PIXMA MG2520 and got this page after filtering for linux and English
http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/...ge=EN&os=Linux
download the driver
rite click in dolphin and select "extract hear auto detect subfolder" and run the "install.sh" script you will find in the extracted directory
now you will have 2 printers installed , 1 from the system settings>printer routine and 1 from the install.sh script,,,,,,,,,but still no scanner joy until I installed the
(Canon's scanner app) and installed the same way as the driver .
it all works now but the scangearmp app is VARY GTK/win95 ish ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but it dose work.
OK then ,,,,,,,,,,,
