Re: Canon Imageclass D570 laser printer/scanner driver - trinidad - 10-03-2022
The reason the printer shows up as a network printer in Linux Lite is because you previously used it in Windows. This does not mean that the printer is using Linux drivers and/or can work in Linux, only that it can work over a Windows network connection to a Linux OS desktop with some limitations. Canon states that the Linux D570 printer drivers (deb and/or rpm) are not ready so I'm not sure where you found such drivers. The scanner works in Linux because there is a complete Linux SANE (scanner access now easy) library for the Canon D570. Two different things.

Howdy Serban,
Canon does provide the deb package, the driver and the installation went well except for me, the problem was my fault with the installation and being very green with the terminal language in Linux Lite. I use my printer with a USB plug in not as a network printer and I pressed yes when I should have pressed no. So now I'm stuck trying to start over and the deb terminal language in the Canon removal isn't liked by Linux Lite Terminal. I just purchased this laser printer/scanner in 2021 and I am not going to purchase a new one just to satisfy Linux and their inability to provide an easier way to install printers. I don't mind dual boot as I still use Windows for many things but I have found little help on the forum with this, and I am just going to have to fix it myself.
Until I figure it out I'll keep using W7 to print and since Linux is so good I can download from LL to USB and take it to W7 and print without any problems at all. I chose Linux Lite knowing that printers are a major problem with all things Linux unless you have an HP and I will never purchase another one of their printers because they are a $$$$$ pit, and so is Epson for that matter.
Anyway, thanks for the pep talk and I appreciate the help and you have a blessed day.
Best regards,

Trinidad,
The reason it shows up as a network printer is because I pressed yes instead of no, as it is plugged in with USB and was never used as a network printer on Windows, I haven't a network any longer in my office. I made the mistake and I'm just trying to start over with the installation process, Canon does have the printer driver package so I am not sure where or what you're looking at. I'll figure it out eventually but the removal language for the terminal on Canon gives the terminal fits so I'm trying to find a solution and until then since I dual boot it works just fine on Windows. The driver is available on the Canon website, what code are you referring too?

I will have to go to the readme file first and then copy it and I'm a bit busy at the moment so it will be a while

Trinidad,
It is a network printer because I made the mistake upon installation, the choice is y or n and I pressed y, # dpkg -P cnrdrvcups-ufr2-us is the removal code.
Re: Canon Imageclass D570 laser printer/scanner driver - trinidad - 10-03-2022
For Linux Lite probably should be
Code:
sudo dpkg --purge cnrdrvcups-ufr2-usYou don't need to run logged in as root. The # is not part of the code.
And by the way the blame for print driver problems in on the OEMs (Canon in this case) not on Linux in general.

@Triinidad,
I appreciate the help and I will certainly give the supplied code a try, as far as blaming Linux I'm not laying all of the blame on them. I know Canon as well as other OEM's do as little as possible to help out those who use Linux because the fact is that Microsoft has the lions share of OS' out there and that is who they cater to. Also, I asked the question about windows and the printer a few months ago of two well known forum regulars and they disagree and said that Windows has nothing to do with the problem and since I am the one who messed up I tend to agree. I would like to know how to sign into cups though so I can make sure that the printer is removed, how do I sign in? Thanks for the help and have a great day.

I gave another look on Canon's == I did see a recently updated driver..
https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/imageclass-d570
As of 9/8/22 - UFR II/UFRII LT Printer Driver for Linux V5.60... Its a tar file (.tar.gz) - I can try and run an install in a 5.8 later this eve maybe..
Could be worth a shot???
If so, make a Timeshift backup prior for a restore point....
