I recency did a fresh install of KDE Neon to the kubuntu 20.04.1 release. When I went to set up the printer I found, much to my surprise, that my Canon Pixma MX-922 All-In-One printer was already listed there! Oh how convenient, I thought. I sent a test print and there was definitely communication because the printer started reacting and my print dialog showed the ink cartridge levels. However, I got an error message on the printer asking me to add paper to the upper tray. The upper tray is for photo size paper and I never use it. I manually selected the other tray in the configuration but it still tried sending the print job to the wrong tray.
How can a new OS installation discover and add a printer driver by itself? This is a first for me. Since something was defective about this setup I decided to remove the printer and install it again. However, the printer refuses to go away!! As an alternative I created a new printer and selected that one to print a test page. Same problem. I can remove the new printer but not the original. This is bazaar!
I wonder what happened here? Can anyone suggest a cure?
