Probably not. Once you have the printer working, I can post Canon's own scanner driver.

Hi
Been to see my friend today. I dont see him very offten

Printing fantastic thanks.
Printer was wireless after the install of the MG5350 pet and cups-bjnp-1.0.pet
In cups without a reboot.

Scanner cannot be seen wireless in xsane or peasy print. Installed both the common scangearmp_mg5300series-1.80.pet. and scangearmp_common-1.80.pet. Have i missed something ?.

Yours Topaz

These recent Canon scanners are not SANE-compatible. Read the Canon scanner thread here - it discusses running Canon's own scangearmp program.

From what application? Does it print correctly from other applications, like geany or abiword?
downloaded and installed poppler-0.22.5 & poppler-data-0.4.6
Randomly installing other stuff will just make the problem worse. You are going to need a clean install.

Also, deleting your other posts makes it difficult for me to analyse your situation.

@boof: No reply? There is probably a solution to your problem. But you need to answer my questions.

The Canon PIXMA iP1000 ver2.5 is an old printer driver and may not be compatible with the modern Linux printing system. But here is a work-around.

1. Do a clean install of Slacko.
2. Install the canon_ip1000-2.50.pet again.
3. Create a document in Abword.
4. Select Print > Print to File (instead of selecting your Canon printer)
5. This will create a PDF document.
6. Open this file in your PDF viewer program.
7. Print it to your Canon printer.

I had managed to make this printer work via your instructions on the previous thread (Canon Pixma Printer Drivers), in April 2012 in LupuPlus.
The previous post has been updated & the printer fails to work in Slacko & puppy Precise. The error I get is "ccpdadmin command not found". Please help

@dsj: Please describe step-by-step exactly what you are doing to install this printer.

I downloaded the CAPT driver package again and I can't see a problem with the instructions.
