| 1442841 | 2017-11-30 03:29:00 | There's always a 'but' ain't there? Is there a repository that will install all the correct driver-stuff for me? I'm currently in Ubuntu Studio and I don't see anything available - although the advertisement said it is supported by Ubuntu - so I should be ready to fly - right? This is a wireless, USB-wired or Cat5e installation, but I want the wireless one . I'm halfway tempted to just plug the power into the wall and let it discover the router and the 'puter and see where that all goes - but I am warned about doing it a little differently . I have a webpage here that tells something very different from what I've read on a few other sites: . canonpedia . com/canon-imageclass-mf244dw-driver-download/" target="_blank">www . canonpedia . com This just goes in circles - 'round and 'round . |

Open printers in Ubuntu click add printer. then network printer select your printer, in my example it is Canon MB2000 series then let the OS load its own drivers. (It may require selecting your printer model from the list it gives) |

| 1442844 | 2017-11-30 05:21:00 | Well --- that was interesting. I had to use a Generic driver - but it is printing. It just likes to print a lot of 'test sheets' with nothing on them. I'll work on it for a while. BTW: All my Androids are working fine on it. They jumped right on it and installed everything I/they needed. |

| 1442845 | 2017-11-30 05:59:00 | Did you not try the Canon drivers listed, they may not be for the 'exact' model number, they are often for a series of models. Otherwise perhaps you could tell me which model you have. |

| 1442846 | 2017-11-30 06:09:00 | OK .... it's an ImageCLASS244dw. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 1442847 | 2017-11-30 06:49:00 | Hi Joe, there is no built in driver for this model :( This is where to download the driver: www.usa.canon.com When you go to download, Firefox should ask if you want to open it in Archive Manager, click yes or OK to that. Once it has downloaded and is showing in Archive Manager select it and click on extract, select a location to extract to (Desktop is ok) Then you can either open the folder and right click in the empty area in it and click on 'Open Terminal Here' Or navigate to the folder in terminal with a command such as cd Desktop/linux-UFRII-drv-v340-02-usen Once you have an active terminal inside the folder Issue this command sudo ./install.sh It will then ask you to enter your password, then confirm the installation by typing y and pressing enter It should then install the driver and then once it is installed ask if you wish to register the driver, so confirm that and hopefully your printer driver will appear in the list in 'Printers' I have tried this in Mint and had no issue, so should work in Ubuntu as Mint is based on it. |

| 1442848 | 2017-11-30 07:17:00 | 8468 If there's some place where I can click on something - I am not sure where it is . There - under OPERATING SYSTEM - DRIVERS --- there's no active link . |

| 1442849 | 2017-11-30 07:27:00 | OK it has had issues detecting which OS you have just click in the box where it says Linux (detected) and select either Linux 64 bit or Linux 32 bit depending on which you have. It should then give a link like in the picture, click on select, then on download. |

| 1442850 | 2017-11-30 07:48:00 | If the installation fails with red lettering you will need to use this command sudo dpkg --configure -a Then restart the installation once it has completed that. |
