complaint to canon

Because you don't know what you're doing

CUPS is pretty decent.

GNU/Linux has the best printer support of all OS's.
Learn to use cups and look into printing servers.

shame that KEKS is maintained by apple

>GNU/Linux has the best printer support of all OS's

That's a funny way to spell OS X. Apple invented CUPS.

>>54255537
No, they bought it

That's a fox trap. A bear trap would snap his arm in two.

In February 2007, Apple Inc. hired chief developer Michael Sweet and purchased the CUPS source code.

Apple bought it

No reason to even read further, these two words together are already always false.

HP Printers work really well though

the first time i used linux back in 2004 i remember being amazed it just werked with my parallel printer that didn't even have windows xp drivers

>>54255794
most printer manufacturers put out linux drivers nowadays, if only for embedded print servers that run on linux

Recommend me a decent home printer that's linux compatible /g/ I need a new one.

>There seems to be zero support for Canon printers under Linu

install the gutenprint package you fucking mongoloid

>>54256650
HP has a good support under linux though their drivers are propietary

>>54255456
tbf nothing has decent printer support

>>54258112
These, those are hardware vendors after all.

>>54255456
because why would you develop anything for a bunch of poorfags that refuse to pay for anything? Just throw your company in the garbage if you want to do that.

OP is retarded I'm using a 4 year old wifi Canon printer/scanner and all i did was go to their website for the driver

My Canon printer I got at the store for like $17 connects to the network and therefore no drivers needed on any machine to make it work

I'm using a Canon MP499 in Debian. The printer and scanner both work. So the Linux support does exist.

I had to download the drivers from Canon's European site for some reason, and the drivers will only work in Debian or *buntu.

>Why does Linux have such shit printer support for? There seems to be zero support for Canon printers under Linux!

All of my Canon, HP and Epson printers have worked with linux using ethernet, wifi or usb. The scanners also work so you must be doing something wrong.

cups-bjnp for network

why?

i love when people blame shit on linux when in reality the problem is them or their vendor

>>54262975
i love when people blame shit on users or their vendor when in reality the problem is linux

Cajon MG6100 printer/scanner fully supported. Had to download scanner drivers from Japanese Canon site though.

There seems to be zero support for anything under Linux

He didn't use cups.

lolwut??

> push print

wtf is the problem OP?

In fact, its faster than in Windows because when you push print under linux it fucking prints, when you push print under Windows, it will do some shitty ass function for 2 minutes and then complain about ink levels before printing.
