HOWTO: Install Canon ImageCLASS MF4270 Multifunction driver

This same exact driver and same exact process works with the Canon MF8050Cn running on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 64-bit.

I had some problems because I didn't understand that "alien" is a command which converts an RPM (or whatever) to a Debian package. However, I used the 2 64-bit RPMs in the archive mentioned in this thread and got the printer going after a bit of fumbling around.

Thanks.

thanks, Onopoc!

this approach worked for me with 9.04 / Jaunty, and an ImageCLASS MF4690

Got it working with Ethernet as well following the same instructions. Thank you

You are awesome!

I was totally able to get my Canon ImageCLASS MF8050Cn to install and print via ethernet with no problems, thanks to your walkthrough!

In fact, I didn't even need anything past step #12. The Printer Configuration tool was able to find the printer over the network (had to wait a minute for the list to populate) and the drivers were auto-detected after installing the packages via GDEBI.

Thank you so very much! You saved me a *huge* headache... :P

Now if I can just get it to scan over the network...

... That was a joke. Are you laughing, yet? :lolflag:

(I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS)

The instructions worked great on Ubuntu 10.10 (Meerkat) x86_64 connecting to the printer via ethernet, even though at present time Canon has not offered .deb pkgs for 64-bit.

I used the alien command, posted by Trung on this thread, to create the necessary .deb pkgs from .rpm pkgs

Current Linux driver version is 2.2, the ppd file to be selected is now CNCUPSMF4200ZS.ppd under /usr/share/cups/model/

Canon now offers the Linux drivers under their USA support site :

Hi, when I try to open with GDEBI it gives me the following info: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: cndrvcups-common (>= 2.30).
What can I do about it?

Does anyone know how to get this to work with a Canon ImageClass D860? Tried it and had little success. Thanks.

works for ubuntu 11.10! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :KS
