Comment on How to install and configure Canon Pixma iP3300 printer for color printing on Ubuntu and Debian Linux by admin.

If the printer is not recognized go to:
Go to System -> Administration -> Printing
and click over New.

The printer should appear in list
with a name ip3300 Ver.2.70

It appears this printer has a special maintenance functions which you can access from terminal/console.

To access the pixma ip3300 maintenance functions exec:
cngpij -P iP3300-Ver.2.70

NB! I’ve red online that in some cases a copy of the canonip3300.ppd file which is found in the .tgz files from /usr/share/cups/model/ to
/usr/share/ppd/pstocanonbj/ might be necessary.

This method has been used to install the driver to an Acer Travelmate 4233WLMi laptop and my other system. This method is a hotchpotch of different forum threads about Canon printers.

How to install and configure Canon Pixma iP3300 printer for color printing on Ubuntu and Debian Linux
Hi,
When I have time will have to see and walk through the installation once again, cause the installation I made was for my cousin on her Ubuntu’s.
You might be right I’m too pesimistic about revelations could be.

You’re right about ubuntu, it has to be more easier than it is at this stage, but this is Linux. It’s advancing but it’s slow.

btw I’m not even sure if Turboprint will be capable to make the printer work.
Did you get some specific error, when you try to print out a page?

       –rwo, –report-warnings-only
              This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
              be used to force other items of information to be displayed.

       –sk, –skip-keypress
              When  the  –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
              in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.
