(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I have a Canon MG2220 printer and it works fine but I have no access to any of the cleaning functions that are available in Windows.

Is there a fix for that ?

This printer comes with Windows8.1 and no Linux support at all.

Update: It supports:

• Windows 8.1(32bit)
  Windows 8.1(64bit)
  Windows 8(32bit)
  Windows 8(64bit)
  Windows 7(32bit)
  Windows 7(64bit)
  Windows Vista SP1 or later(32bit)
  Windows Vista SP1 or later(64bit)
  Windows XP SP3 or later

Please describe, in detail, how you installed the driver for your printer.

No reply? There is a solution to your problem.

I installed the driver as per a previous post.

That's true of most printers.

Not true. The vast majority of recent consumer-grade printers can be installed in Linux.

When you are willing to be more helpful, report back and we can solve your problem.

That link was for setting up your scanner.

Dead issue as I will be receiving a Brother HL 2240 Monochrome Laser Printer next week.

I got fed up with frequent refilling of my printer cartridges.

I will keep the Canon MG 2220 for it's scanner function.
