    Canon Printer install

    Newbie to Kubunto, really struggling to get my Canon Pixma TR4755i to connect. Any help please, as this will be my final escape from Windows 10 Pro. Never seem to be able to locate specific driver for this device. Canon Website offered Debian based driver but still no luck

    First, a little more info would help.
    Second, have you tried the "standard" wireless connection? and using the K > System Settings > Printers?
    (did that fail? details ...?)

    I am not the printer guy! But I went through quite a bit with my HPs here, and, actually, it turned out to be relatively easy. Just to give the idea:

    Instead of connecting the printer using a USB cable, I tried WiFi.
    And instead of using HPs software, I just only use that System Settings menu.

    My Router/Modem has a WPS button. So:
    1 On the printer, hold down the wireless button for a few seconds and the signal bars blink.
    2 On the wireless router, press and hold the WPS button for a few seconds, let up, wait a couple minutes, when the wireless light (on the printer) stops blinking, the connection is successful.

    Period! And it shows up appropriately under System Settings > printers.
    There's some details involved, but first you gotta get this far.

    This may not be of any help to you. Someone will show up who maybe knows your Cannon printe​r.
