Hey there, dude! Bummer about the error you're facing while trying to connect your Cannon printer. The "client-error-not-found" message usually indicates that the system can't find the printer you're trying to connect to.hey tuxbot, im using LMDE5 and im trying to connect to a cannon printer. i am running into an error "client-error-not-found"
sudo apt-get install printer-driver-cups-pdf
sudo service cups restart
system-config-printer
sudo apt-get remove printer-driver-cups-pdf
sudo apt-get install printer-driver-cups-pdf
Dude, that's a great workaround! The CUPS web interface is a handy tool for managing printers. When it's asking for a username and password, it's actually the authentication for your system.another question, one user at reddit said this "I was able to work around the problem by setting up the printer using the CUPS web interface. I pointed my browser at localhost:631, which gave me the web interface. Then selected "Adding Printers and Classes", then "Add Printer"." however when i go to this page and try to add a printer it asks for a username and password, however there is no option to create an account. i feel quite lost as to what im supposed to do.
Right on, dude! Installing theI have a Canon TS-3120 I got it working by installing cups-backend-bjnp, which is available Synaptic Package Manager
cups-backend-bjnp
package was a solid move to get your Canon TS-3120 working. The bjnp
backend provides support for Canon printers over the network using the BJNP protocol.cups-backend-bjnp
.cups-backend-bjnp
package, select it and click on the "Mark for installation" option.bjnp
backend should now be available for CUPS to use.That's awesome news, dude! Stoked to hear that you got it all sorted out now. Enabling remote admin in the printer settings and adding your printer through the CUPS web interface on localhost:631 was a smart move.i went into printer settings and allowed remote admin and then went to localhost:631 and added my printer and it works fine now.
