How can I get canon mg2541s working in Ubuntu?

The official canon site reports the os as incompatible. How can I get my printer to work with Ubuntu? How to do this for latest LTS 26.04 and the previous LTS 24.04?

how can I get canon mg2541s drivers for linux deb?

i'm using an acer laptop, which doesn't have the cd slot. the official canon site reports the os as incompatible... and i'm not willing to get another canon device.

Ask Ubuntu

this unlike the Canon Pixma 3250 inkjet printer I've been using until now, which was the crappiest piece of shit hardware I have ever owned!

Ho beloved IT person ! How did you so expertly repair my printer ?

With a sponge.

(it's also a real workaround, that reeeeally work, I tried a few things but that one "just did the part" without much tweaking. And also I love the idea of putting a dirty sponge in there. https://chriswoods.co.uk/2019/08/canon-pixma-paper-feed-roller-problems-diy-sponge-fix/)

#MG5753 #PIXMA

@dazo @juliesbits My #Pixma TS5500 works fine, scanner included... after I learned how to set it up and what components my #Linux needs. Except if I don't use it for prolonged time and it fails to reconnect with Wi-Fi Every. Single. Time.

The replacement gear came in & It works like a charm!

Unfortunately, while it goes through the motions, nothing actually prints on the paper. Previously the head had a lot of dried ink on it. I suspect there's dried ink inside somewhere.

Is there a good way to go about cleaning the printhead? Could I soak it in hot water or some cleaning solution?

Annually Necessary print: ✅ Success

Optional Full color dia de los muertos poster on photopaper: ✅ Also Success

Still absolutely hate the tiny 2 line angled lcd that requires you to be standing in front of it and the printer must be positioned at exactly hip height, or it is illegible. Spoilers, mine is on a shelf so every error requires I yank the thing out.

Yet those huge refillable tanks are worth a ton of squinting, shifting and bending

Before you continue to YouTube

Curious if anyone happens to have a #Canon #Pixma #MG3620 that works/prints in #Linux? I extracted the files out of the canon deb pkg and believe they exist in the appropriate place now. First try printing caused a paper jam #rip. After retrieving the paper, all new jobs go to status "Stopped Filter Failed". Uncertain what the options are at this point.

Anyone familiar with #Canon #pixma power supply #ElectronicsRepair ? The #k30351 #adb0250620G labeled power supply should output 24 and 36 V, but it outputs 10,8 and 8V. The power supply IC NCP1236 is switching but only once every 3 milliseconds for one short pulse. Supply voltage for the SMPS IC is stable in the "happy" region acc. to the datasheet (~15V).

I already replaced the supply cap for the IC as the ESR was "high" (~5 Ohms). This was plugged in 24/7 for 10 years so that capacitor served a fair amount of current pulses.

I'll try to load the output to check if the feedback loop is actually closed and if it just regulates for the wrong output. Maybe the TL431 is unhappy. Another thing I'll try is to back-feed the output while off and check if there is output on the primary side of the optocoupler. Those tests should indicate if the SMPS IC is unhappy for some reason.

Diodes, fuses, transistors are ok and actually this is a relatively simple SMPS, no PFC, no fancy filters...
