The important part it the code after ID, in this case 04a9:1722. There should be a line ending in "Canon, Inc." (There may be more if you use other Canon products.) It should look something like:īus 006 Device 006: ID 04a9:1722 Canon, Inc. This will list all the usb devices plugged in to your computer. At this point, only the root user would be able to use the scanner, so we need a few extra steps to allow others to use it. Sudo cp libsane-pixma.so /usr/lib/sane/libsane-pixma.so.1.0.19ġ3. Sudo mv /usr/lib/sane/libsane-pixma.so.1.0.19 /usr/lib/sane/libsane-pixma.so.1.0.19.old Replace 1.0.19 below if you got something different. For me it said /usr/lib/sane/libsane-pixma.so.1.0.19 but this may be different for you. Look at the output and bear in mind what is written. Your printer should whurr a bit, and there should be some output, but no errors. For example, if you saved it to your desktop, you would type: Open up a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal), and cd to the directory which you saved it to. It should say something like mp150-0.14.4.tar.bz2. If this works, you don't need to continue.ħ. Note: It now seems like you can just press the 'scan' button on the printer, wait for it to switch to scan mode, then scan your document as usual.
Please read the next few posts from this thread before continuing and/or you have problems after this point. Print something to test the printer is set up properly. (This is correct even if you are using the MP220.)Ħ.

You can set the printer up, but please don't plug it in to the USB port yet doing so will make Ubuntu install it as a text-only printer, which is not what we want.
