Public bug reported: Hello,
After I upgraded my computer (amd64) from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10, I can no longer use my Canon Pixma MG5150 printer. The existing printer still appears as the default printer, but the documents do not get printed, despite it is active etc... I tried to create another printer, choosing USB as connection method, and I'm offered with a prompt to open Ubuntu "Software" to install the relevant driver, but then I get to a page saying the needed driver was not found. At this stage the printer does not work, and I noticed this in the logs: [ 135.171773] usblp0: removed [ 135.192165] usblp 2-2:1.1: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 2 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x1748 lsusb says: Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04a9:1748 Canon, Inc. Pixma MG5150 As a workaround, I installed Canon's drivers manually from http://fr.software.canon-europe.com/index.asp (cnijfilter-common, cnijfilter-mg5100series, scangearmp-common and scangearmp-mg5100series). I also had install the old libtiff4 from Ubuntu precise (only libtiff5 is now normally installed). Is my printer now unsupported by gutenprint or is it a bug/regression?
