Install printer driver for Canon LBP3050

I’ve tried badly to install my Canon printer by following Chatgpt’s instructions, but without a success. Could you please give me a step by step guide to install it.
Thanks

When you installed endeavourOS did you select printing support? Then cups will be installed. I also think for this printer you need to also install capt-src which is in the AUR. Then see if you can set it up.

Edit: I don’t have any experience setting this particular one up but it looks like it requires cups as well as CAPT. You’ll need to enable and start the service also for ccpd. Hope this helps?

Thanks, I will try this.
Yes CUPS is enabled.
I couldn’t install the driver, I followed Chatgpt instructions but it seems erroneous.
I downloaded the drivers from Canon official website but when extracted the package I only found .deb and .rpm files and I don’t know how to use them on Endeavouros.
I will check the link you provided.

Don’t follow follow Chatgpt stuff! :wink:

You install the capt-src from the AUR. Then you have to enable the service and verify.

yay -S capt-src

Follow the above link to enable and start the service once installed.
