[Bug 624446] Re: Canon MP250 series: official drivers not listed
The official drivers for this printer are proprietary and closed source, therefore we cannot/are not allowed to include them into Ubuntu. Actually your printer manufacturer needs to provide a openprinting distribution independent driver package as described here: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/WritingAndPackagingPrinterDrivers This would allow automatic download and installation of the manufacturers printer driver by system-config-printer as already implemented by this specification: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/printerdriverautodownload since Ubuntu Intrepid. As mentioned the system-config-printer part is implemented. You should ask your manufacturer in this case Canon to provide a distibution independent package that allows their printer driver to be installed automatically on Linux in general (not only Ubuntu). ** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624446 Title: Canon MP250 series: official drivers not listed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/624446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
