dear Andrew, I solved my problem by downloading printer-drive-gutenprint_5.3.3-4_amd64.deb (debian package)
then installed with: sudo apt install ./printer-drive-gutenprint_5.3.3-4_amd64.deb then the proper driver appears when you add the printer in settings, not the useless generic text driver, which does not even work. good luck. mike (first check your printer is supported at https://www.openprinting.org/driver/gutenprint) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875673 Title: printer canon ip4600 only generic text mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1875673/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
