Ini hanya catatan sederhana saja, untuk instalasi Driver Canon IP2870S atau seri IP2800 apapun. Saya catat karena di website Canon resmi untuk IP2870S tidak menyediakan Versi Linux, tapi ada Driver Linux IP2800.

Singkatnya download paket tar.gz driver dari Web Canon, untuk Debian bisa di download di https://id.canon/en/support/0100586502 (bonus saja, judulnya fedora). Untuk Fedora bisa download langsung di halaman https://my.canon/en/support/0100586402, atau langsung ke link https://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/4/0100005864/01/cnijfilter-ip2800series-4.10-1-rpm.tar.gz, untuk web archive backupnya ada di https://web.archive.org/web/20230705054839/https://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/4/0100005864/01/cnijfilter-ip2800series-4.10-1-rpm.tar.gz (saya archive takut kedepan filenya hilang).

Setelah download, extract ke lokasi /tmp/driver (bisa folder apapun, terserah). Selanjutnya bisa di lakukan adalah menjalankan terminal di folder driver, lalu jalankan ./install.sh script.

Ikuti script sampai habis, contoh output dari script adalah

[ben@TP-X220 cnijfilter-ip2800series-4.10-1-rpm]$ sudo su

Jangan lupa ketika install, harus aktifkan printer dan tancapkan ke komputer. Setelah berhasil, maka tools seperti clean head, test head, dan lain-lain nya, bisa dijalankan dengan system-config-printer, dan melakukan aksi masing-masing yang diperlukan.

Saya memerlukan clean up head karena sering clogged….

Semoga catatan ini berguna bagi yang membutuhkan.
