Canon Printer Drivers - Updated 2016
Forum appears to be behaving today ...
Just connected a Canon MG2520 printer & CUPS doesn't recognize it.
These are OVERPRICED at Walmart - stacks of them in the nearby college town - si I imagine the Linux world will be asked to support them for each distro.
Has anyone gotten the printer side of these to work, please?
I'm not concerned about the scanner right now but will need to return this if there are no plans to support the printer.
Thanks - David

I saw no reference to the Canon MG2520 & my experience has been that everything tends to be very model-specific.
I will try to sift through the 12 pages of this thread, again, to see if I can find what I need to know to get this thing working.

I saw the date of 2012 & jumped forward looking for more current discussions since was is a new printer.
What you've done seems a new & better methodology.
I'll go back & see if I can sort it out.

I'm guessing that this means I need to return the printer?

I looked there first.
Nothing under MG-2520, MG2520, mg-2520, or mg2520.
Also tried inkjet all-in-one & it's not listed there, the only one close is PIXMA MG2560.
What am I missing, please?

Struggling with Canon drivers as well. I am in the need of drivers for the Canon Mx 515 and as you can see I have a huge problem cos the printer is not here but across the country. See my thread.
I know the canon site list the drivers as mx510 but I think it will be fine cos also windows drivers are listed the same.
How can I make a PET file that includes drivers for print and scan?
I have never build PET myself so l worry I might mess up something and me being across the country I can not sit down and fix things if I mess up.
The Precise 5.7.1 user needs a solution that will be as easy as PET. Click and it will work.

Thx a lot man. I must have overlooked that post, I thought I went over all 12 pages in your thread
I will email this file to the user and we will see tomorrow if it works.
The PET installs like any other PET? Just click and it will place drivers in the correct place? And then the printer will show up?
Or is it first to run the PET and then run the CUPS /localhost/631 and go to the administration part?
And just to be sure, the printer must be turned on before starting the install, yes?
Thx for this great thread. I will post link in my thread to your download if that is ok.
