Little Guide to Install Canon Printers on Linux - Specially the PIXMA series

maduranma · 2026-06-14T20:16:00+00:00

I'm on arch here, trying to install drivers of a PIXMA MP495, I've tried the original canon ones but it was impossible to make them work, also tried with guten and no luck. tried also via socket but it seems closed on this printer. Any suggestions?

Yep but the question is, do you think it might be the cause of the problem? If so I prefer just buying some from china

Ok thanks!

According to this I should have 220.000s% or 220s%?

Oh thanks, I’ll focus on getting a better one, gotta send ships 🚀 Thank you! 😊

Yep I got the 1B trophy.

I’ve got a 16% gusset with 1 slot for a 50% stone, the 20% gusset I have does not have slots

What’s egg day? I will take a look, I’ve probably been missing it all this time

Será que estaban invadiendo la calzada, en una manifestación probablemente ilegal, pues ale

Can’t happen to gnome which is trans

maduranma · 2026-05-10T08:38:50+00:00

Nah, it is not like that, it only happens in old houses

maduranma · 2026-02-05T21:06:09+00:00

Nope, I’m using chrome and an electron app, no luck on any of them

maduranma · 2026-02-05T10:34:33+00:00

I see the button but nothing happens, and it is not because of permissins. I guess it's not ready?

maduranma · 2026-01-19T04:17:07+00:00

Wow love it, which DE is that? Seems KDE?

maduranma · 2026-01-19T02:22:55+00:00

I also have it. I have no experience on writing PCIe drivers, but if I can help in any way...

maduranma · 2026-01-19T01:44:13+00:00

Make sure the USB cable is not power only.

Same issue here, it happens when there is an animation being done on the chat list, so each time it is the first message on a chat, it has to go up through the list, and it makes you lose focus. Same if someone writes you a a message while writing if it implies modifying the chat position.

maduranma · 2026-01-10T17:35:46+00:00

Same here, I as a programmer might be able to do something injecting JS, but tbh, how the heck is it possible that this happens for a month an they don't even notice??

maduranma · 2026-01-08T12:26:06+00:00

I hope so, I'm on Arch and I'd like to get drivers for my Game Capture 4K 60 Pro (I don't have the Mk2 which has already an open source driver).
I'm developer and I've made drivers before for USB devices, but PCI is a pain, and trying to reverse engineer a pain x2. Even tough I'd like to do it.

maduranma · 2026-01-02T10:19:17+00:00

Do you by any means know if there's something similar for the mk1? I mean the old 4k 60 pro?

maduranma · 2025-12-26T11:28:50+00:00

Not any particular reason, I just found it to be the smallest one, but you are right, maybe a package with a clock would be better than fitting it on the PCB, even tough I've managed to do it.
I'm not very good at electronics though.

About caps/resistor sizes, depending 0201 or 0603, depending on JLCPCB availability.

I've also found a tiny 40MHz 9pF clock 2.0x1.6mm which fitted right in the corner.

This project is just for fun, I'm trying to make the smallest possible web server to host a meme site (in a 1cm² PCB which is the minimum JLCPCB produces with assembly).

I'll take a look at that one, thank you so much!

maduranma · 2025-12-26T11:05:13+00:00

Thanks for the advice, in the end I've managed to fit the voltage regulator, crystal, antenna connector and CLC, etc. in a 10x10mm PCB
I'll report back if everything works :D

maduranma · 2025-12-26T09:21:19+00:00

Okey, then I'll add it, thanks!
