Driver for Canon Pixma MX375 All in one

2013-03-03 Thread David Suna

  
  
I recently purchased this printer and it is installed and connected
to a Windows machine on my network. I would like to allow the
Ubuntu machine on the network to print to this printer as well. The
list of printers in the drivers list shows the Pixma MX360 series
but not the MX370 series.

What is the easiest way to install the driver for the 370 series
(since it does seem to exist) so that I would be able to use this
from the Ubuntu machine?

Thanks,

Have you tried the 360? Often when my printer number doesn't show up I 
chose the closest one, and usually that works fine.

The easiest way is to check the openprinting database or uncle google for
good support of your OS before purchasing the device.

http://www.canon.com.sg/personal/search?q=pixma+mx370filter=p

lists drivers for Linux (deb/rpm), OS X and Windows.

Canon had been challenging for me in the past years. Looking for drivers in
their Japanese site or if I'm lucky their Eurpean (but always hidden in
some dark corner).
You can download the drivers from here:
http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=PIXMA+MX376menu=downloadfilter=0tagname=g_osg_os=Linux
It does some really ugly things (especially if you have a network device -
scanning all the subnets you're connected to, IP by IP, finally keeping
only the mac-address of the device, then every use scan for the IP again),
but eventually it works.
You might also need to fix some shared-object dependencies (symlinking some
SOs).

Anyway - these tools worked for me with the MX470 device with Fedora17  18.

Hope it'll help.
