Solution to CANON MX395 for UBUNTU 12.04 connected via USB

  1. Download from the canon website the .deb.tar.gz drivers listed below:

    cnijfilter-common_3.90-1_i386.deb
cnijfilter-mx390series_3.90-1_i386.deb
scangearmp-common_2.10-1_i386.deb
scangearmp-mx390series_2.10-1_i386.deb

    From: http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/InkJet/PIXMA_MX_series/MX395.aspx?type=download&language=EN&os=Linux

  2. Extract them by right clicking on them and "selecting open with archive manager".

  3. In a terminal, cd into the folder where you put them and type this line after line: 

    sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_3.90-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-mx390series_3.90-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i scangearmp-common_2.10-1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i scangearmp-mx390series_2.10-1_i386.deb
sudo system-config-printer

  4. Open a browser and go to

    localhost:631 → administration → add printer → Local Printers: (select closest to this) USB Printer #1 with status readback for Canon IJ (Canon MX390 series...

  5. Try printing something with printer on, connect via USB wait 3 minutes: the printer takes that long to initiate.

See if this works.
