Printer driver for Canon Pixma MP280

[Lhypha]

My computer is not recognising the printer. I need to know where to find a printer driver to install on Ubuntu for my Cannon Pixma MP280.

Whoops, they don't list a MP280 so maybe not.

Hello

This ppa provides many Canon PIXMA drivers. Here is how to install your printer :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-mp280series

I'm having the same problem with a Canon Pixma MP282, which seems to use the same MP280 series driver. Can we share ideas? click here to see what I've tried.

Will let you know, if you haven't already solved it already. I have not been back to this site since August. I have not tried anything yet!! Having to print from the other MS OS at the mo.

I have a Pixma MX360 and downloaded the print drivers and scanner drivers from Cannon's Europe site and both functions work perfectly. Was able to set up, print and scan so I can verify that, at least for my model, the drivers off that site work perfectly.

You first have to install the "common" drivers and then the model-specific driver.

I don't know if this helps anyone, but I have an MP220. When I plug it in, Ubuntu doesn't find a driver for it, but when I go to Printing, and manually add it as a new printer, the driver is there.
