Introduction

This printer has a great and easy install method for Ubuntu. Unfortunately, it does not install all of the tools that the Windows version does but it will allow you to print with wireless and scan (wired only I believe) with its software scangearmp.

This how to is for the wireless printer only. The download says 10.04 only but it has worked for me on 10.04 32 and 11.04 64bit, too - Also, check out the tweaks at the end of this post if you want more flexibility with resolutions and grayscale.

(this is just a note in case you get an error in the install because you had a previous pixma printer installed like a 32 bit forced onto a 64bit architecture. I had to uninstall my mx330 like this and then all was good:)

sudo dpkg -r cnijfilter-common:i386 3.10-1

(For wireless conectivity, I use a router with WPS button.

Download and Install Driver

Or you can see them consolidated here below:

tar zxvf cnijfilter-mx410series-3.50-x-deb.tar.gz

cd cnijfilter-mx410series-3.50-x-deb

3. Installing the printer driver

sudo ./install.sh



Go to admin - printers and duplicate the printer about two or three times. Then gksudo nautilus and go into the /etc/cups/ppd and click on one of your duplicates and add the following by replacing the lines with *OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution with these below:

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 300
*Resolution 100/100 dpi: "<</HWResolution[100 100]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 300/300 dpi: "<</HWResolution[300 300]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

*OpenUI *CNQuality/Quality: PickOne
*DefaultCNQuality: 3
*CNQuality 2/High: "2"
*CNQuality 3/Normal: "3"
*CNQuality 4/Standard: "4"
*CloseUI: *CNQuality
