Configuration for using the Canon Pixma MX925

Fedora 30

Printing over the LAN

For gnome

  • login into cups: http://localhost:631 as root
  • ⇒ add a printer
  • choose the network printer (Imprimantes réseaux découvertes)
  • tick shared printer
  • choose the driver Guteprint simplified
  • into the graphical interface of gnome for printers, Canon_MX920_series + Guteprint simplified should be already present

LXDE

Aucune config particulière: via l'interface d'admin web ⇒ reconnaissance de l'imprimante via l'IP ⇒ installation du pilote “Guteprint simplifié”

⇒ Select “Glossy Photo paper” for paper typ.

Scanning over the LAN

Needed packages

$ sudo dnf install sane-backends sane-backends-drivers-scanners

Then xsane and simple-scan can recognize the scanner

Drivers from Canon

Procedure to install the proprietary drivers:

  • download the archive containing the rpm's from the Canon site
  • extract the archive
  • go into the extracted folder of the archive
  • $ sudo ./install.sh

    If there is a dependancy issue:

    $ dnf provides libpangox-1.0.so.0
    Vérification de l'expiration des métadonnées effectuée il y a 1:47:35 sur Tue May 10 07:46:00 2016.
    pangox-compat-0.0.2-6.fc23.i686 : Compatibility library for pangox
    Dépôt               : fedora
    
    $ sudo dnf install pangox-compat
  • simple-scan and xsane should allow to select the printer as a scanning source.
  • other way to scan: “scangearmp” to run the application.
