How to Install Printer Canon G2010 In Ubuntu 16.04 And 18.04

Some time ago, my friend asked how to install Canon G2010 printer on ubuntu 16.04. Admittedly, to install a printer on Linux is more complicated than Windows.

You might be wondering :

Have I bought the wrong printer? What are drivers suitable for Canon Pixma G2010 series Ubuntu ?

If you use a Windows machine, you can easily install it via the default printer driver or download it through the official Canon website.

Whereas in Linux, not all printer drivers are available. I, as a beginner of the Ubuntu Linux machine, need to ask several forums to find solutions to install Ubuntu printer drivers, especially new printers.

Now…

I have solved the problem of installing a Canon Pixma printer for the G2000 Series. Here I will share it for you. Not long ago I also shared how to deal with Epson scanner on Ubuntu (maybe you need it, check out here [SOLVED] Imagescan EPSON L3110 Ubuntu can’t save image)

    Thanks for the instructions above on compiling from source. My G2010 all works fine now. As to your query on the scanning, I got mine to work perfectly by installing xsane. I suggest you try it again.
