Linux scanner drivers canon

How can I install a Canon printer or scanner driver?

I tried to install the MP190 drivers, but appeared a message show me that requires to have libcupsys2. I understand that libcup2 is an update of libcupsys2. How do I solve this? Are there proprietary drivers for my Canon printer or scanner?

Sorry to revive this thread. I’ve managed to get the 2 drivers installed from the ppa for raring. I’ve also got printing working fine even via network. However, I can get the scanning function to work. scangearmp installs fine but it comes up saying it cannot find a scanner both via usb and network. Is there some file I can edit so that I can tell scangearmp where to look for the scanner? Xsane doesn’t find it either. BTW, if i type «scanimage -L» i get a response to say there is a scanner available.

For any Canon printer see this answer (also works for Ubuntu 20.04): askubuntu.com/questions/1261887/…

I think I used this repository to install drives for my canon i560 under ubuntu 18 and 19 but can’t seem to do it, now, under 20.04. But I could be wrong. Can’t seem to recall where I got drivers for the i560. My MF4890dw worked just fine, BTW.. Any clues?

Not to dis Ji, I really his work, and this sight, BUT I like this tutorial for Canon Drivers.

Scaner:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thierry-f/fork-michael-gruz

I have a relatively old Canon MF8200C. Thanks to Preeternal, the install for the printer driver _ gutenprint _ worked only after I had installed sane-utils and synaptic and then reinstalled the PPA repository, thanks to contumax, below.

I have been using Ubuntu since 16.04 LTS. I just installed 20.04 LTS, and my printer no longer works. I have a Canon MX850 and a Canon MX922. Any help you could offer would be wonderful. Thanks.

Thanks Ji m for sharing such a good guide. After following this and also others, I have the last versions of printer-driver-gutenprint,scangearmp2 and scangearmp-mp160series and still not working since I move to Ubuntu 20.04 (fresh installation). Canon printer setup utility doesn’t lunch either. Printer can be added but doesn’t print while scanner is just not found. Any help is more than welcome cause I’m desperate
