I had Solus installed and installed my newly purchased Canon PIXMA MG3029 printer with the MG3000 series driver Ubuntu system recommended. The power light flashed when you sent a job to the printer, but nothing ever came out. I installed then Ubuntu 17.04 standard and reinstalled the printer, hiwever with the same result as Solus. Any suggestions or tricks you may have to have me become "printer friendly"?

so if you were to install the drivers that Canon supply, you would start here http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100839901.html and click to download and please SAVE what will be cnijfilter2-5.40-1-deb.tar.gz

I would suggest at this stage opening your PRINTERS folder and deleting any icons there; as you say they do not work ...

It should end up in your Downloads folder by default. Open a terminal and paste in one by one the commands below; right-click on the text prompt in the terminal to see the PASTE option ..

cd Downloads

tar -zxvf cnijfilter2-5.40-1-deb.tar.gz

cd cnijfilter2-5.40-1-deb

./install.sh and that will run the install script and should set up a printer driver for you;

This tutorial worked for me. After installing some libraries, it points to this Canon site for package downloading. I used the Debian package and it self installed and was up and running immediately.
