The official drivers for this printer are part proprietary and closed source, therefore we cannot/are not allowed to include them into Ubuntu.
The gutenprint opensource driver included in Ubuntu is EXPERIMENTAL because reverse engineering needs to be done, there is already an upstream report about this http://sourceforge.net/p/gimp-print/bugs/688/ Actually your printer manufacturer needs to provide a openprinting distribution independent driver package as described here: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/WritingAndPackagingPrinterDrivers This would allow automatic download and installation of the manufacturers printer driver by system-config-printer as already implemented by this specification: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/printerdriverautodownload since Ubuntu Intrepid. As mentioned the system-config-printer part is implemented. You should ask your manufacturer in this case Canon to provide a distibution independent package that allows their printer driver to be installed automatically on Linux in general (not only Ubuntu). ** Package changed: cups (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1529881 Title: CUPS 1.7.2 distorts colors on Canon PIXMA MG5250 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gutenprint/+bug/1529881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
