I post it up now for the information of others who might benefit, and because it will perhaps avoid the need to mess about with other software and drivers, or to blame Mint 19.1 (as I was inclined to do!) and found the solution to my own problem.
#Canon mp560 driver linux how to#
Hence my hope that someone can advise how to make Mint 19.x, Simple Scan, and my Canon MP560 work normally and properly using a wifi connection.Īha - I have just proved the value of searching and browsing the Mint forums. I am disinclined to wreck all of that simply because Mint 19.1 won't play nicely. Needless to say, the wifi connection to the Canon printer and scanner works fine with all these other computers.

My Canon MP560 is networked by wifi because it is used by several different computers in the household - some of which have various other operating systems - PCLinuxOS, Mint 18.3 and Windows 7. As I understand the Canon setup process, it has to be either USB or wifi, not both at the same time.

Unfortunately changing over to a USB cable connection is not an option for me. I have just seen separate and earlier threads in this sub-forum about Simple Scan not working under 19.1 with HP, Samsung and Epson machines. It seems that we are not the only people finding scanning problems with Mint 19.1, and it's not unique to Canon printers/scanners.
