What Puppy version are you using?
If you installed the two PETs correctly, you will get a menu entry under Graphic called Canon Scangearmp Scanner. Do you see it?
If you click it, you will either get a window with the scanner program running or a message that no scanner was detected.
Run the Puppy Package Manager and check that both PETs are installed - scangearmp_common-2.0 and scangearmp_mg2200series-2.0.
Open a terminal and run the command: scangearmp
Code: Select all

I can not figure out how to copy text from a Konsole window.

Thanks - Canon Scanner problemo solved :-)
Thanks it's working.
I used mtPaint and told it to print it, but nothing happened. ?
It printed ok from LibreOfficeDraw.
What is the easiest way to put icons on the desktop.
It's hard to tell which files are the "executables" and I think some are in different directories also.
Thanks,
Andy

Change the command to: peasyprint %f
If your Puppy version does not have PeasyPrint, get it here.
slacko 560, pixma mx452
hi.
i have fujitsu lifebook running slacko 5.6.0. kernel 3.10.5 with a canon pixma MX452. new to puppy, but have used linux quite a lot over the years - never have been a guru though.
ive read this entire thread (and its predecessor), and have tried several things, including getting the canon 3.90 driver source from japan. i get the same behavior whether connected via USB cable or wirelessly. CUPS 1.4.8 finds the printer (with the firewall properly informed) ive tried a couple of different drivers, two of which supposedly were for mx450 series. everything appears happy. however when i request it, a test page is not produced. no indication that the printer is reacting in any way (no sounds, status panel indications)
i even got the 30 day turboprint trial, but could not produce any output using that either.
i would appreciate any guidance you might provide
thanks in advance.

solved
sorry for posting on the wrong thread!
Thank you kindly. after installing the driver/pet i deleted & reattached the printer in CUPS & it worked first time. i have been wrestling with this for 3 weeks - not sure how i missed the 450 river link in the thread.
in any case THANKS! PRINTER IS WORKING.
i believe i read that the scanner in the 450 is in-sane, and that i should use the canon scangear package. is that correct?
best regards
lars.
ps - if you still want to know what other packages i tried, i can try to reconstruct, but am guessing its moot now that i can PRINT! pls advise.

MX452 Scanner works fine
Thanks again, the scanner came up no problem. i had to tap the power button - apparently it was asleep or something. but once the presence of the scanner was recognized by puppy/scangearmp it worked first try.
if you need me to do any testing for you on this HW, i am willing.

MX920 and MG5500 Wireless Scanning
rcrsn51, Thanks again for the two pairs of Pets for Cannon scanning.
Installed pair for MX922, update found scanner and it works wireless great !
Installed pair for MG5520, but update could not find, wonder if installing both sets conflict in some way.

Canon MG5520 Pets
rcrsn51, Tried USB on MG5520, not found... But know it can work because I installed pet for borrowed HP C309a Photosmart all in one, and plugged in USB, and it found and works fine.
Canon MG5520 Scan Pets
rcrsn51, Thanks for suggestion... Fresh Puppy Slacko 5.7 Install, After WiFi, installed the two MG5500 series pets...Canon MG5520 wireless scanning now works !!!
So there must be some conflict... will now go and add other items to see if it keeps working
UPDATE... installing the pair of pets for MX920 series makes the MG5520 to no longer be found, and the MX922 is found and works as before. So seems that both cannot be installed together. I did run update search several times and checked dropdown menu to see if there would be more than one scanner to select, but only one.
