Originally, this printer was connected to a usb port on my router, where it was accessible to my kids' laptops and my wife's Windows pc, but not by my ubuntu machine. So yesterday, I decided to (temporarily) connect it to my ubuntu machine directly via usb to establish communication and functionality, and then return it to the router and work on the technicalities of finding it there.
When I enter the command sudo /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v I get the following:
network http
network https
network ipp14
network ipp
network ipps
network lpd
network socket
network beh
direct scsi
network smb
direct usb://Canon/MF4400%20Series?serial=1116A5202457&interface=1
direct usb://Canon/MF4400%20Series%20FAX?serial=1116A5202457&interfac e=2
In the extraction process, I have no idea where it put the ppd files, so i downloaded again, and saved it to a directory I knew where they were, and in trying to get the auto-detect to install the printer, I pointed it there to get the ppd file.
When I tried to check the driver version, I used the rpm command listed in the guide.
Since we last communicated this morning, I made a few other attempts at getting it to work, and ended up (trying to) undo everything I did, so that when you again became available this afternoon, I could start with (nearly) a clean slate. Therefore, when I now enter sudo dpkg -l | grep cndrvcups I just get the terminal prompt back, no output.
Sorry this is a little slow, when I reply with a quote, the requested commands do not show up in the edit box, and I have to open another tab with the post there to see what was listed.
