Canon LBP7110Cw Setup

[R_Head]

Trying to set up a Canon LBP7110Cw on Mageia 6, the Driver List is limited and nothing seems to work. The Printer shows on the network but is major driver issue. I am about to the end of my rope.

Any ideas, suggestions are very much welcome

I finally got a Brother Laser printer to work with scanner and all (on Mandriva).
I tried all the complicated stuff but in the end it was simply to wait for a Kernel update that helped.
You could check if the commputer works with some live CD from another Distro and check out what kernel is used.

I finally switched from Mandriva to Manjaro mainly due to driver issues (on that ladies computer).

Found a link in the Mageia Forum. Long story short, led me to search at the Canon website, lo an behold, they have a RPM for the printer.

https://www.canon-europe.com/support/co ... %20(64-bit)

Untared the file, ran the 3 RPMs that came with it, and works like a champ. What is odd is, on my laptops, seems not to work directly with the x86 RPMs. I enabled the sharing on my Dell 64 system and use it as a print server. One laptop refuses to connect in any way, however, that one, is not a big deal.

is a nice Color Laser printer, the wife paid $125 new from Staples. Also, the neat thing is that has a Wireless NIC, RJ45 and USB. Setup as Wireless, and all you have to plug it for power. The Wireless setup is not that easy, took me a while to get that bad boy going.

Problem Fixed....

Made the mistake on using the 32 Bit RPM. Removed the packages with the MCC. Installed the 64Bit RPMs on both laptops. Now it works like a champ.

Used the MCC Add Printer setup/GUI, worked very nicely
