I attempted to install the driver and it is asking me for an authentication code. Do anyone know what it is, or where I can get one?
can I join the topic?.
I am a newbie so do not know what is involved to learn.
thanks
I posted a guide here: http://linuxdeal.com/how-to-install-...mp280-on-linux
Let me know if I missed any steps.
Also please review the printer if you would be so kind: http://linuxdeal.com/add-printer.php
Thanks everyone!

So after i got the drivers from the cannon website, i copied and pasted the drivers into the terminal and i got "command was not found". Did i input correctly?
Well. I found out that the authentication code is my password for logging in to Ubuntu. However, despite downloading the drivers, and installing them according to the directions on this thread, it isn't working. I turn the printer on, and and Ubuntu says that it ain't there. Any ideas?
This is the result:
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

It looks like it's telling me I need to re-install both of the drivers, if not just the scanner driver. I don't mind doing that, if that's what it takes. However, I have already installed both of them twice.
