Hi I'm a complete newbie to linux. I am running ubuntu 13.04. I am trying to install a canon pixma mp495 wireless printer. I have downloaded the canon printer driver from the canon european site but cannot install the driver. Can anybody help?

Have the printer connected and on the same Wi-Fi network as the computer.

Go to System Settings, Printers, and add it. It should show up, and walk you through getting drivers and naming it.

In Linux, you rarely need to get software of any kind from Google searches. This is a common mistake of those coming from Windows. Programs come from repositories, and drivers are no different.
