Hi folks,

I've moved over to Linux and now I'm unable to install or use my printer (Canon Pixma MG7550)...

I tried installing drivers from the CD-ROM supplied with the printer but nothing would happen.

I also tried printing and scanning with the printer just connected via USB (without any drivers/software installed) and it would not work.

Is there some other way I should install the printer in Linux?

Thanks! D

 
Solution
There are over 100 different Linux distros and almost all have different ways for driver install. You'd be better off asking that question in some forum that's appropriate for that particular distro.


Ah ok, thanks for your guidance CountMike!
