Based on few youtube vids and reddit posts i installed the canon CAPT drivers for my printer and executed the commands in termunal and got my printer to show up in the printer setting When i try to print a test page the status of the printer says processing data and sending data to priner but the printer doesn't print anything i am not the usual whirring noises at all
