I have a problem with my Canon PIXMA MP230.
The problem is that when I want to print a file, it goes to the print queue, but it does not print, printing appears stopped.
I clarify that I have the drivers installed but it still does not work.

I had a similar problem with a Canon printer (Pixma IP7250), which worked fine with Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.10. But with kubuntu 20.04, it did not work at all. I finally found help in this forum, in the terminal I typed in

I have had the same problem for a long time after upgrading to Ubuntu (Xubuntu/Ubuntu studio in my case) 20.04: my Pixma mp230 accepted print jobs, proudly announced "rendering complete" (in the log file) and just as proudly refused to print. I have tried to fix it a couple of times, but it failed miserably and was not a great priority these past few months.

The proposed theory behind it is that ippusbxd "creates" a "ubuntu"-printer which interferes with the original printer/printer drivers (in the reviewer's case a Brothers printer, in my case a Canon Pixma mp230).

You might also want to read these related questions where more knowledgeable people than me explain how all printers now are "network printers" or something like that. Apparently removing ippusbxd isn't the most elegant solution, but as long as it works I'm happy :-)

But...it still didn't print. So I unplugged it so as to reset the Wifi. The light was blinking. That stopped that, but still didn't print. So 'Delete'd it from the GUI with the intent of reinstalling it automatically again, like it had done a few seconds before. AND now, it doesn't show up in the listing of available printers attached to USB like it had the first go round.

I have a canon Pixma MG2500 series 2570 printer that is 3 years old, and I wanted to test if it would work before scrapping it.To day I installed the drivers from this Canon official websiteeverything worked fine(upto installation) but then I tried to scan something and then it displayed the following message:

Most Canon printers are designed to refuse to work without ink.The printer then enters into an error state and refuses to scan.The most common error code in this case is "2, 140, 21".You need in such a case to work around the printer's firmware.

Another known workaround was found for the Canon MP-198 printer andsimilar. It requires for the printer to have a digital display screen,and you may need to redo it every time that you turn on the printer.If this method doesn't work for the printer, then there is probablyno solution.

Try To Stop Printing ProcessYou will encounter 140, 21, Canon Printer Error Code 2 most likely when scanning the document over Canon printer. To solve this bug, you are required to give your system a simple command to stop printing the document. Just, follow the below-written instructions to quick fix the error code 2, 140, 21 from your Canon printer.
