Canon Driver For Ubuntu

Post by Randy97 »

Hi there,

I've been searching high and low for a Canon driver that is compatible with Ubuntu, but unfortunately, I haven't had any luck. I recently switched my operating system to Ubuntu and now I'm unable to use my Canon printer. I've tried searching on Canon's official website, but they only seem to have drivers for Windows and Mac. I also checked a few other popular driver download websites, but no success there either. Can anyone please provide me with a trusted source or a link where I can download the Canon driver specifically designed for Ubuntu? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
