Canon Imageclass 4350d on Linux Mint Network
by Sean the Nailer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#520K9)
Hello, and greetings all.
This is my first post, as well as my first attempt at seeking assistance from a forum. Obviously, I'm new at this "Linux" thing, but I've got Faith that it is WAY GOODER than windows.
We're wanting/trying to re-connect everything we've got into a new network, including our printer/fax/copier (named above)
We intend to use a network switch (10 port) connected to our router.
If I recall correctly, when we used windows towers we had to install the drivers before connecting the usb cable.
I've been given a few different links, with the premise of "you could just...." and then everything went downhill from there. ALMOST everything on said links of 'just click here' or 'download and install that'.... didn't work.
It is very frustrating when you (I) don't know what's wrong, don't know where the problem is, so then I don't know what to ask/say/threaten with destruction to get the hardware to work.
Add that, to the fact that I've not been here long enough to earn my fancy decoder ring to activate the 'super-secret-squirrel-search' at the top of the screen. I know this because any attempt I've done to 'search' drivers, canon, our model, anything.... shows up as "no results".
I find that hard to believe. So, if we can one-day complete the secret-handshake ceremony, that'd be great!
This is the first quest of a multitude of items on the checklist, involving:
2 towers
2 tablets
1 laptop
1 mini-tower
1 printer
2 media players
1 dvr
Though the laptop and tablets are all wifi, everything else is/will be connected either with CAT5 or USB cable.
Who's up for the challenge, and I thank you for reading thus far. Hope you're having an excellent Good Friday. Linux Rules!
