Have recently setup this printer, when through the steps in order to try and get it connected, using all methods (usb, wifi etc).

Printing stuff from my phone works no problem.

However even though i've gone through the installation process i keep getting the below message. I've installed plenty of printers in my time be this error seems a little out my league. Done the installation with and without firewalls and anti virus software running and i still keep getting the error, its like the process of installing the drivers is going through but then my pc like no there not installed or can't be accessed.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

We appreciate your participation, though we need to let you know that your product TS705 appears to be a model that is not supported by our team here at Canon USA.

This is the solution. I skimmed over the fact that you said I needed to install and enable ipp-usb while focusing on getting it to work over network. Once I did that, printer works correctly over usb also.

I think this should be installed by default so people can just plug and play their printers. This turned out to be quite a lot of work for me to figure out, and I can see how it would put a lot of people off Fedora.

It seems there are some issues with using ipp-usb when printers that require a specific driver are in use. Case in point is HP MFPs that require the hplip package and the proprietary plugin for scanner support. Those HP printers can be made to mostly work driverless, but the scanner is then not usable.

Scanning is blocked unless using the hplip driver and the proprietary plugin. If the printer is capable of and configured for wireless printing then this is not an issue and hplip with the plugin is not impacted by ipp-usb.

If you do not have the option to select rear tray on the device you are printing from, ensure you have downloaded the Canon printer driver. This can be found here. Ensure the correct operating system is selected for your device. Once downloaded, the option to select rear tray should now appear.
