Canon MF4370dn Driver

[haruska]

I can confirm this works on 64-bit Jaunty through the network on a MF4370dn.

To get it working, just "alien" the *.rpm files in the 64-bit folder and install the resulting debian packages. When the new printer dialog asks you what driver you want, provide the PPD file described above.

Thanks a ton!

I found the linux printer driver for the Canon MF4370dn on the Canon Singapore site: http://support-sg.canon-asia.com/

Both RPM and Debian binaries and sources are available under the download section. After I installed the deb packages, it showed up in CUPS and works beautifully. The complete URL for the drivers page for this printer:

Do post here if anyone can use the network fax or scan functionality like the Windows clients are able to.

Onopc's June 29, 2009 procedure for MF4270 also works well for Canon ImageClass MF4350d on UBUNTU 9.04. Even better that now there's a specific driver listed for the MF4350d. Kudos to CANON!!
Printer was on sale at FRY's this weekend for $100. (Now if I can just get the scanner and Fax to work)
Regards to all and thanks to Onopc.

did anyone get MF4350d work on Karmic 9.10 (fresh karmic installation, not upgrade)?

I tried to install it, but it complaints about libcupsys2 (this package is obsolete in 9.10).
I also tried to install it from source. Ubuntu is able to recognize the driver but wasn't able to print?

I solved this [the dependency issue in 9.10] by modifying the tutorial at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1305248 for the 4370dn:

First, I downloaded and extracted the drivers as described previously in this thread.

Then open up a terminal and go to the Downloads folder:

cd Downloads/Canon_UFRII_Linux_V1.90_EN/32-bit_Driver/Debian/
dpkg-deb -x cndrvcups-common_1.90-1_i386.deb common
dpkg-deb --control cndrvcups-common_1.90-1_i386.deb 
cd DEBIAN/
gedit control

Then change the depends line to read libcups2 instead of libcupsys2, and save.

copy the entire DEBIAN folder into common.

Then:

cd ../
dpkg -b common cndrvcups-common_1.90-1_i386.deb

Once you've rebuilt the deb, you can install them normally. I have this printer working on 32 and 64 bit machines.

THANK YOU for the workaround to fix the Canon control file bug.

Version 1.90 driver is working for my MF4100

Anyone know how to report this to the Canon developer team?

Haruska,
This has been unsuccessful for me. I tried the same thing, but get an error -

"src = libcanon_pdlwrapper.c, line = 511, err = 0(strange symbol)nError Response:ReqNo=2, SeqNo=3,opvpErrorNo=-2"

Any idea?

Onopoc,

Thanks a lot for the help. I've installed the Canon MF4100 Series UFRII LT ver.1.8, and with the USB connection, the printing works fine. However, the networks printing doesn't even works.

Hello,
Did you ever get network printing to work on this model?

I've tried the 1.90 and 2.00 versions of this driver, and keep getting an error when trying to print via the network.
