![]() If I download it from the Canon website, how do I install or set it up? I seem to have no opportunity in System Settings>Hardware to find or install a scanner. Īre these (Gutenprint and Canon) drivers equally-valid options? Is it more complicated to install the Canon one? If I do, will it offer a similar GUI to the standard Canon interface which appears when running Windows? Will it conflict with CUPS/Gutenprint?Ģ) How do I get the scanner of my Canon MP560 to work? I notice that the Canon Europe site offers a scanner driver (ScanGear for Linux) which I assume is essentially that which I already know from working with Windows. The drivers for my MP560 are available from the Canon Europe site. But I notice on various forums a lot of chat about how to find and install Canon's own drivers for Linux. ![]() That's fine, and I can understand and use it. ![]() Zorin found it, found a driver, and I can now get the machine to print.ġ) Can someone explain the driver options - or point me to a Linux-beginners site which does? When installing this printer, it appears that the software involved is "CUPS" (a Linux programme.) and that the driver is from the Gutenprint suite of drivers developed for Linux. I have succeeded in adding it as a network printer by putting its IP address into the System Settings>Hardware>Printers> "Add Printer" dialogue. I have a Canon MP560 "all-in-one" printer/scanner, which has WiFi as well as USB connection options. I am running Zorin 6 on a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop.
