(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

sorry for posting on the wrong thread!
Thank you kindly. after installing the driver/pet i deleted & reattached the printer in CUPS & it worked first time. i have been wrestling with this for 3 weeks - not sure how i missed the 450 river link in the thread.
in any case THANKS! PRINTER IS WORKING.

i believe i read that the scanner in the 450 is in-sane, and that i should use the canon scangear package. is that correct?

best regards
lars.
ps - if you still want to know what other packages i tried, i can try to reconstruct, but am guessing its moot now that i can PRINT! pls advise.

Thanks again, the scanner came up no problem. i had to tap the power button - apparently it was asleep or something. but once the presence of the scanner was recognized by puppy/scangearmp it worked first try.
if you need me to do any testing for you on this HW, i am willing.
regards
lars.

Excellent.

rcrsn51, Thanks again for the two pairs of Pets for Cannon scanning.

Installed pair for MX922, update found scanner and it works wireless great !

Installed pair for MG5520, but update could not find, wonder if installing both sets conflict in some way.

Could you please try the MG5520 as a USB scanner?

rcrsn51, Tried USB on MG5520, not found... But know it can work because I installed pet for borrowed HP C309a Photosmart all in one, and plugged in USB, and it found and works fine.

Try a temporary clean install of Puppy, then install the MG5500 PETs.

rcrsn51, Thanks for suggestion... Fresh Puppy Slacko 5.7 Install, After WiFi, installed the two MG5500 series pets...Canon MG5520 wireless scanning now works !!!

So there must be some conflict... will now go and add other items to see if it keeps working

UPDATE... installing the pair of pets for MX920 series makes the MG5520 to no longer be found, and the MX922 is found and works as before. So seems that both cannot be installed together. I did run update search several times and checked dropdown menu to see if there would be more than one scanner to select, but only one.

Try this. Just install three packages - the common-2.20 PET and the two model PETs. Maybe that will let both units work together.

rcrsn51... with fresh install of Puppy Slacko 5.7, installed Wifi, firewall off, and the three pets as you instructed above... saved, rebooted...

Can now select MX922 or MG5520 from drop down menu, and it will scan correctly... went back and forth between the two several times to verify that it works every time.

Will add other applications, and run more tests... but looks like the newer common Pet supports the MX922 and MG5520 together, and now no conflict.

Thanks !!!

Thx will do it tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks @rcrsn51

My canon mg3250 scanner printer all working great on my puppy. Made easy thanks to your work.

However, the Scangearmp driver from Canon should work. But it's not enough to install the DEBs just by clicking on them.

I have made two PETs for you. The forum no longer allows them to be hosted, so here are the download links.

scangearmp_common-2.0.pet
scangearmp_mp230series-2.00.pet

Use the smaller DOWNLOAD button on the left.

Please report back.

hi! i'm a Puppy newb here... i'd like to request a reupload of the 230 series pet (link's already dead)... thanks in advance!

btw im using TahrPup 6.0CE

Please see the instructions in the main post for installing the scanner driver yourself using the candi tool.

I have a new Cannon MG2560
Followed all advice on first page and installed all scanner files but sane does not detect it . lib pixma is there ok and printer working fine just not getting scanner . can I try the .25 driver perhaps?
If you would send it to me please

It also requires the scangearmp_common-2.0.pet from the previous page.
