Download and Install Canon MP 210 printer drivers in Ubuntu (linux)

Trying to find drivers for Canon MP 210 on Ubuntu? Well you don't get lucky if you try to find the drivers in Canon US website.


Basically, you will need three files:

cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb
cnijfilter-mp210series_2.80-1_i386.deb
scangearmp-common_1.10-1_i386.deb

You can download the Canon MP 210 drivers from Canon (Australia) website.

Direct Link to Linux drivers:
http://support-au.canon.com.au/EN/search?canonsearch=1&lang=EN&category=All-in-One+Printers&series=All-in-One+Printers&model=PIXMA+MP210&menu=Download

Canon MP210 support page:
http://www.canon.com.au/products/all_in_one_printers/all_in_one_printers/mp210_support.aspx


You can either install these "deb" packages using graphical interface (gdebi-gtk) or use the following commands to install them on the command-line:

guest@guest-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo gdebi cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb
guest@guest-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo gdebi cnijfilter-mp210series_2.80-1_i386.deb
guest@guest-ubuntu:~/Desktop$ sudo gdebi scangearmp-common_1.10-1_i386.deb

Any drivers available for x64 Ubuntu?

It doesn't work for 9.10 and 10.04.

In 10.04 printing works with MP160 driver. It is included in Ubuntu, you just need to choose it. Scanning works out of the box since 9.10.
