Hopefully, printing a test page will work! Select "Standard" for the driver (this should be the only option). Select Canon as the manufacturer, click on "Install Driver." and select /usr/share/cups/model/canonip4200.ppd.

Under GNOME, this is accessed in System|Preferences|Printing. Restart cups: sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restartĩ. We fix this by making libtiff.so.3 a link to libtiff.so.4.Īlso, /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 should point to /usr/lib/libpng.so If not, type: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng.so /usr/lib/libpng.so.3Īnd /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 should point to /usr/lib/libxml.so.1 If not, type: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/libxml.so.1Īnd finally make the loader aware of the changes: sudo ldconfigĨ.

This is the important part! The iP4200 driver wants to use libtiff.so.3, but that is an old version. usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 should point to /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 (or to the same thing as /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 points to) If not, type: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
#CANON DRIVERS FOR UBUNTU INSTALL#
Install the packages: sudo dpkg -i *.debħ. Convert the RPM packages to Debian packages: sudo alien Ħ. Extract the files with archive manager or type tar -xvzf iP4200_Linux_ĥ. You can also type in a terminal mkdir canonĤ. For the purposes of this howto, we will assume that the files are saved to the directory /home/yourname/canon. Download the drivers for your printer from Canon. Sudo apt-get install alien libxml1 libpng12-0 libpng12-dev libgtk1.2 libgtk1.2-commonģ.
#CANON DRIVERS FOR UBUNTU UPDATE#
Install the needed packages: alien, libxml1, libpng12-0, libpng12-dev, libgtk1.2 and libgtk1.2-common with Synaptic or type: sudo apt-get update Connect your printer, and start Ubuntu.Ģ. Note: You will have to accept Canon's license agreement to download the software.ġ. Note: This manual also works for the following printers: Canon IP5200 using the IP4200 drivers.

For the iP2200, (and some others), see: HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/CanonPixmaIP2200 Some or all parts may work for other Canon printers. This is a howto for installing the Canon Pixma iP4200 printer and related printers on Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) using the Canon supplied drivers.
