Re: Printer problem

The file won't extract for me. Can you just copy the last few lines of the file and past them in your reply to this?

Re: Printer problem

It appears your printer is installed as a Canon BJ-5 which isn't anything like an MG5250.

I would try installing these drivers instead:

They'v only listed Ubuntu 10.04, but I'd try them anyway.

Re: Printer problem

I think the install script is written for Ubuntu and not Kubuntu. Try this instead.

If you are 64 bit:

cd Downloads/cnijfilter-mg5200series-3.40-1-deb/packages
sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_3.40-1_amd64.deb cnijfilter-mg5200series_3.40-1_amd64.deb

If i386:

cd Downloads/cnijfilter-mg5200series-3.40-1-deb/packages
sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_3.40-1_i386.deb cnijfilter-mg5200series_3.40-1_i386.deb

This assumes you extracted the files to Downloads. If you extracted them to another location change to that directory before running the second command.

Re: Printer problem

Hi
Problem solved! I can print now!
I found the solution, I did not use the right driver!
I used the first driver on the list, and did not see MG5200 in the list of drivers.
Thank you for all your help here in the Kubuntu Forum!

Re: [SOLVED]Printer problem

Glad you got it working. Next challenge will be getting the scanner function to work.
