From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've installed the gutenprint driver but my specific printer is not listed as a supported model. Testing it as I write this but with no particular hopes...
edit: and no, it still prints one sheet at a time, no duplex, and it botching the image printing quality
I found it listed under gimp-print.sourceforge.io/p_Supported_Printers.php listed as Experimental. Gutenprint is originally Gimp-Print.
It's labelled as "Canon MAXIFY MB2750" on that page. In the terminal, what's the output of:
?
I haven't installed the GUI
The printer remains as is, faulty
From screenshots of having the GUI installed (It's looking like some sort of Web Config or Printer Settings pave that has toggles for 2-Sided/Duplex printer, as well as playing with the quality of the print jobs. Maybe I was misunderstanding thr purpose of the gutenprint-printer-app
Give it a go, we're curious, and I'm invested in you overcoming this silly printer hoops-and-loops getting just the basic features ironed out.
Do it. Do it now.
