Hi,

I have a new printer Canon pixma mx340 but can't find any "how-to" install it.

The drivers seems to be cnijfilter-source-3.30-1 from here http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010835.asp.
I don't know what file i must install, they are so many folders and when i try to compile one i get always errors (can't found file....).
Maybe i must compile this special repertory fist and after one other but i don't know in which order.

Any help ?

Hi linked67.

I've done shortly a similar Howto wich should fit to lot's of similar Canon Printers, sadly it's only in German, cause it's only a German-Gentoo forum where it is published.
Not sure where do you come from, and if it could help you through.

Evenatually try google translation for it.

Much success,

Thanks for your reply Andy, I speak german so no problem for the link

I already have seen this overlay but it has cnijfilter-3.20-r1 and i have 3.30 from my previous link.
Do you think it works with MX series too ?

The best is maybe i should give a try.

Hi linked67.

Fine that you are able to read it.

Sorry, i can't tell which of the cnijfilter packages support the MX series.
Please try to find out if some of the packages has use flags fo the MX-(340) model, and try this.

Regards, Andy.

I don't see any MX series in the use flag of cnijfilter-3.20-r1 (or below).
would be great to have a update in the overlay soon.
I still search a way to compile the source file
