Buonasera a tutti
Ho provato in mille modi ad installare questa stampante ,canon prixma ts7450a ,ma non sono riuscito.

la stampante è su USB. con cups non mi funziona niente, i driver scaricati dal sito ufficiale , non sono stato capace di installarli.
Qualcuno da un aiuto ?
grazie

Translation with deepl

Forse si può provare questo pacchetto da AUR:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cnijfilter-ts7450series

Installatelo e riavviate il computer, sperando che funzioni.

Good morning
pebcat

unfortunately I am not able to install PKGBUILD files
I can’t understand the procedure, until now I have used debian based distributions.
Could you kindly write me the whole procedure.
Thank you

A good pacman reference:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Rosetta

A good place to search for package names
https://archlinux.org/packages/

Before installing any new packages use pacman -Syu. According to rosetta, in the the seventh entry down in the Basic Operations sections

Upgrade Packages - Install packages which have an older version already installed `pacman -Syu`

Once you have updated the system, use this to install new packages. According to rosetta in the second entry down in the Basic Operations section

Install package(s) by name 	pacman -S

Good morning Giordy,

if you just run

yay -S cnijfilter-ts7450series

the installation should run. If you get any errors, just report back here in the forum.

That’s probably what pebcak had in mind.

Didn’t that return an error? Something like “package not found”
PKGBUILD is just a file. Let’s say an installing instruction for the package manager software.
It’s not an installable package.

I also use a Canon Pixma printer/scanner. I used to use scangearmp for scanning. But that package from the AUR always made a lot of trouble because of ancient dependencies, as it is not updated by Canon anymore.
Recently I switched to simple-scan. Nowadays that is also working on my old Pixma printer via WiFi and it’s available in the regular repos.

I use simplescan for pdf and xsane with a network printer for photos and other formats
