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

I have posted the Canon scanner driver for your MG5350 here.

No reply?

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.

.doc file from write/abiword-- geany same error.

I thought I posted a copy of the contents of my pdftops here somewhere because it looked suss, but I now can't find it.

thx.

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.

1.
clean install of slacko-5.5-4g kernel 3.2.33-4g

installed printer driver from page #1 of this topic PIXMA iP1000 En

Tested printer with a test page & a saved cups-pdf file

both WORKED

Tried printer with .doc file in abi-word---not succesfull.
