Save to your folder(s)

If you want to run an old cheap canon i250 printer on linux try this.


Copy this code and paste it in your HTML
  1. #!/bin/sh
  2. #if you dont have these packages already uncomment this one:
  3. #gksudo "aptitude -y install libpng3 libtiff4 cupsys alien"
  4. cd /tmp
  5. echo "Fetching drivers from Canon Australia"
  6. wget http://download.canon.com.au/bj/i250linux/bjfilteri250-2.3-0.i386.rpm
  7. wget http://download.canon.com.au/bj/i250linux/bjfiltercups-2.3-0.i386.rpm
  8. #Then alien the files like this:
  9. alien bjfiltercups-2.3-0.i386.rpm
  10. alien bjfilteri250-2.3-0.i386.rpm
  11. #and if you dont have a i386 but a amd64 do this:
  12. dpkg --force-arch -i bjfiltercups-2.3-0.i386.rpm bjfilteri250-2.3-0.i386.rpm
  13. #then you should be fine.
