How to install Canon Pixma MP620?

Solution 1:

I have an MP620 printer that stopped working on Ubuntu 13.04. After some investigations I found out that CUPS did not have suport for BJNP. I tried to install the support with

sudo apt-get install cups-backend-bjnp

After this, CUPS found the printer and the driver automatically.

before installing cups-backend-bjnp I followed the instructions from this post.

Solution 2:

I was able to get the printer working on my 64bit machines running 13.10 by installing cups-backend-bjnp

sudo apt-get install cups-backend-bjnp 

Then open printers, click on add printer. Select Enter URI, then enter the device URI (i.e. "bjnp://192.168.1.10") Click next Select Canon from the listbox. Click forward Select PIXMA MP620 from the models listbox Click forward Add any descriptions you like then hit Apply and try to print a test page.

I recommend setting your router to provide the printer a static ip address so that you won't have to re-add the printer every time your router resets.
