Drivers for Canon Pixma MG3150
« on: July 16, 2012, 05:41:57 AM »
Thought I'd try and get my spare printer working but after getting as far as selecting the drivers, my Canon Pixma MG3150 isn't listed. Should I just forget it or does anyone have a solution.

Thanks but I don't see any Linux drivers there and there's certainly no source.

I've just discovered that the latest gutenprint(5.2.9) supports lots of new Canon printers including the MG3150, so I've requested an updated package: http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,107312.msg916679.html#msg916679
