Canon 3100 series printer will not print colour after upgrade to 12.10

[hunterrjh]

My inkjet will not print in colour, after clean install of 12.10
Previous installation of 12.04 worked fine.

I operate a dual boot notebook. Under windows, colour works fine, and print head nozzles have been tested and are clear

I have a Canon of the 3100 series; and I use the Canon drivers; is that what you do?

they are downloadable from here

http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/c...100393702.html

and I have marked the debian package (as ubuntu is derived from debian);

It comes down as MG3100 series IJ Printer Driver Ver. 3.60 for Linux (debian Packagearchive)

there are 32bit and 64bit packages; and an install.sh script; that when activated, looks to see what is right for you ..

.....this ensures I get excellent colour printing .........

......if you would like more details on installing, pleased to help

Thank you pdc.

I was relying on Ubuntu 12.10 drivers.

I did as you directed, and loaded the Canon Drivers.

Great!!!! Colour now working.

Thank you very much.

that's great; you managed the install very well; enjoy !

(Canon also supply a scanning programme called ScanGearMP that you can download from their sites.............it works well......... when installed, you need to start it from a terminal)

scangearmp

but you can setup a "launcher"
