Ubuntu friendly printer.. Canon PIXMA MX320?

[hmazuji]

i have the feeling that this is a gnome problem or that i'm using the wrong shell. the directions on
http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/com...#disqus_thread
weren't comprehensive enough, and i can't post questions there regarding their directions as: "Comments for this page are closed."
i have downloaded the source code from:
http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consu...&type=download
i have downloaded gcc and g++ using synaptic package manager.
i have:
tar xzvf cnijfilter-source-3.10-1.tar.gz
the source file.
cd cnijfilter-source-3.10

this is where i am stuck. can't continue with the directions because
root@debian:/home/lou/Downloads/cnijfilter-source-3.10# ./configure
comes back with:
bash: make: command not found

as with
root@debian:/home/lou/Downloads/cnijfilter-source-3.10# make
bash: make: command not found

i couldn't continue on with the installation.

what do i do now ?
(beside run a futile search on google for "bash: make: command not found")

I just installed a canon pixima printer the other day using similar drivers obtained from the Canon-asia support area.

I downloaded the printer and scanner deb packages. They downloaded into my a dirictory I created called "canon" in my home directory.

Using the file viewer, I navigated to the canon directory and I clicked on one and as it is a tar file, I chose to extract it. A new directory was created within the download directory containing the necessary files.

I opened the terminal and typed "dir" this lists the directories. I typed "cd canon" to get to the canon directory.

I typed dir to list the directories and files within that directory.

I typed "cnijfilter....3,40-1-deb" to enter that directory

I typed "dir" to list the files in that directory, it listed a file install.sh

I typed sudo ./install.sh

The terminal took over and installed everything, asked a couple of questions and the printer works.

I did the same thing as above with the appropriate file for the scanner.

Printing works fine but to scan I have to use the terminal and type "scangearmp"

Probably there are faster ways of doing this, but this worked for me.

Good luck in solving your problem.

i can't remember if the folder contained an "install" script.

let me check this and get back to you if it works.

install.sh doesn't work:
