Canon MP/MX/MG Scanner Drivers - Updated 2016
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.

Canon MX922 and MG5520 together
rcrsn51... with fresh install of Puppy Slacko 5.7, installed Wifi, firewall off, and the three pets as you instructed above... saved, rebooted...
Can now select MX922 or MG5520 from drop down menu, and it will scan correctly... went back and forth between the two several times to verify that it works every time.
Will add other applications, and run more tests... but looks like the newer common Pet supports the MX922 and MG5520 together, and now no conflict.
Thanks !!!

request for reupload
hi! i'm a Puppy newb here... i'd like to request a reupload of the 230 series pet (link's already dead)... thanks in advance!rcrsn51 wrote:Your MP230 is not supported by SANE, so "scanimage -L" will not detect it.
However, the Scangearmp driver from Canon should work. But it's not enough to install the DEBs just by clicking on them.
I have made two PETs for you. The forum no longer allows them to be hosted, so here are the download links.
scangearmp_common-2.0.pet
scangearmp_mp230series-2.00.pet
Use the smaller DOWNLOAD button on the left.
Please report back.
btw im using TahrPup 6.0CE
can't get ?rcrsn51 wrote:Here is the scangearmp_mg2200series-2.00.pet.

It also requires the scangearmp_common-2.0.pet from the previous page.
