my canon LBP 2900 printer is connected to another pc in the network. It is possible to connect if it were a usb printer. How to connect to a network printer in ununtu 16.04?

I seen many times how people describe how to's about LBP-2900, and 10-12 steps from start to end of how to download, unpack, build driver, fix driver, make it work... Could be there some .deb package with ready-to-go driver for Ubuntu? This printer is very popular...

The title tells you all, except that it's about sharing printers.   How do I connect to a shared printer on the network through CUPS or terminal?

I've been using the Linksys USB6300 Adapter but when I switched to Ubuntu it stopped working since its only compatible with Windows. I've tried using ndiswrapper and although it says my windows driver is installed, my device isn't showing up. Anyone know how I could get this wireless network adapter working?

I am trying to install my Canon MP280 printer to my recently upgraded Ubuntu focal 20.04.  This printer worked out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 18.04 on same hardware (HP Folio 1040), so I am surprised to find it does not work quite so well.  I've tried two paths:   system-config-printer:  This leads me to either install a generic text-only driver, or a list of non-matching Canon printers.  Either way I cannot actually print anything.  install proprietary driver as described .  This ultimately fails due to a dependency to an arcane version of  whereas libtiff5 is the only available on 20.04.   Did Ubuntu leave my printer behind?

Let's assume that one has some modern HP printer and/or scanner which is  supported by HPLIP package from official repository. Or supported by newer version of HPLIP package (see  about installation).  From official documentation () it is known that device needs proprietary/binary driver or plugin.  How should one install such plugin?

I'd like to connect an USB storage device to 2 computers at the same time (With a cable, not over the network). Is this possible?  Context: I want my Raspberry Pi to save output on an external USB-storage, and then be able to read the output on a Windows XP PC.

Printer MP6150 driver installed itself upon plugging in the printer. Printer is recognized  (lsusb shows it) but does not mount. If the printer is recognized, the driver must be working (or?), but something is blocking the system from mounting the printer. Tried the usual things: power of printer, restart Ubuntu etc.   Listed below result of lsusb and fstab:  hans@kontor-linux:~$ lsusb  Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04a9:174a Canon, Inc.

I can't download photos from my new Canon 6D via the USB cable. Cable is connected, but no new drive is detected in the system. Looks like Windows doesn't see a new device at all. How do I troubleshoot this problem?

I am trying to get my printer setup to both "Print" and "Scan", yep, I need to do both. Both attempts (yep, I've gone thru this twice).  The First time I was able to print just fine, but the scanner didn't work, xsane was complaining about hpaio, etc.  After I installed the ://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html  AllInONE software I was able to print and scan, then something went wrong  (THIS IS THE QUESTION ???)  ALL Print jobs immediately get put in "HELD" status, if I "RELEASE" them, they immediately go back to HELD.  Currently,  I am able to scan (perfectly might I add) without any problems, I installed the HPLIP from ://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne  website after following some thread, it appeared that would solve my issues.     Working from , I am able to get a clean installed but when I get to the Synaptic steps, I appears to me that HPLIP is installed multiple times as the HP LIP Device manager report software version:3.12.2 Device Mgr: 15.0 (Qt4) while synaptic is reporting:3.11.7-1, which in the synaptic window appear NOT to be installed. In the synaptic window I only see "openprint-ppds" and "pxljr" as being installed.  Do I need to removed packages and start over , can I get back to "Out-of-the-box" easily ?  I'm guessing by installing the opensource version I shot myself, but I'm thinking that I wasn't able to scan or something, that why I ended up following the links to HPLIP support.  If I can forward any output (eg: HP-CHECK -t   which is clean, no warnings/errors) just ask !  Thanks for your attention and help,

I am running 14.04 and have a HP Deskjet 2545 wireless printer which is supported by Ubuntu. I have run HpLIP, the latest version and installed the printer.  The printer is recognised by Ubuntu, printer and network, but LibreOffice do not see the printer. Only a Generic printer.  I don't know what to do anymore and would like to get some good advice

Guides on how to install drivers for a Brother all-in-one network printer are either for older devices or are rather complicated as they often involve editing or copying system files in my root directory.  Is there a newer, more convenient way to install the drivers needed?

Trying to install drivers for a HP P1100W on Ubuntu 12.04.  The printer was recognized as soon as I hooked it up.  I'm using the USB cable.  I followed the directions of this question    and I get the message that I now need the "HP-Plugin.   Also, how do I get rid of all the test prints that are still spooled?  There is no clear button.
