How to use Canon TS3425 wifi Printer?

Post by scraginagpup »

Greetings!
I would really appreciate some ideas about this:
Running fossapup64 version 9.5
I have a Canon TS3425 wireless network printer.
CUPS finds the network printer np, but I cannot find a driver which works with it. When I send a file to the printer, CUPS says "Processing" at first, then "Idle"
However nothing is printed. There is no specific "TS3425" driver listed. However, I have tried a number of other drivers, but none of them seem to work
The printer works fine with my Android devices
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

See if this driver will work for you.

I know this is not your exact model printer, but this is suppose to be driver for any of the TS3400 models.

Get the one for Linux with debian in the name. Those should work in Puppy Linux.

Seems you download the package.
Decompress it.
Inside the directory that is made is a install.sh file you left click on to install it.

See if Cups can now setup your printer to use.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o
