TODO installing canon pixma g3010 drivers on debian

Problem description

Canon G3010 as Wifi LAN printer used to work on my earlier Debian however I was not able to configure it in Debian trixie/testing.

In the end I installed local drivers with the use of archives downloaded from here:

https://ijsetupcanon.com/canon-pixma-g3000-driver-download/

(5.30) or here

https://canon-print.com/canon-pixma-g3010-series-drivers-windows-linux/ (5.60)

I keep them in <file:///home/mb/SEarch/Linux/Debian Drivers/Canon G3010 Pixma/>.

Wireless connection configuration

According to this page https://www.cups.org/doc/network.html I used the following command to obtain printer’s URI with so-called Bonjour protocol.

sudo lpinfo --include-schemes dnssd -v

I copied string dnssd://Canon%20G3010%20series._ipp._tcp.local/?uuid=00000000-0000-1000-8000-00183b1605c2 and pasted it as printers address choosing as a driver Canon G3010 series, driverless, cups-filters 1.28.17.

Wireless printer started responding…

Installing USB Printer

To configure printer to work as usb printer I needed to:

install canon proprietary drivers

sudo apt install cups-backend-bjnp
Make: then I was able to find Canon in manufacturers list in cups “Add printer” menu (it was impossible earlier)
Model: I chose Canon PIZMA G3010 - CUPS+Gutenprint v.5.3.4 (en)
