Ubuntu Version:
26.04 by using the correct terminal upgrade path from 25.10 with out any issues.
Desktop Environment:
Ubuntu
Problem Description:
Updated to new version 26.04LTS for stability and longevity. However after following all the correct protocols all was GOOD….however the only thing that has happened is that printer no longer seems to get the message to print. Printer comms work flawlessly when on 25.10. The
Printer is wirelessly connected to my mesh stable system with excellent signal and the dialogue from the Print pop up dialogue shows it is trying to communicate. Has never had issue before on Ubuntu 25.10.
There is also no issue with the mesh system when booted into Win11Pro on my other installed dedicated SSD drive.
Relevant System Information:
No special configurations.
Error Messages:
Only that the printer advisory state of printing just shows ‘Printing progress advisory notification’
What I’ve Tried:
Tried installing the deb package from Canon again after extracting it in my downloads folder by selecting …install package document and selecting ‘run as programme’ from right click selection menu. It works as far as I can see as when I created a ‘ test libre text document’ to print I see the correct printer in the printer driver description but one of the boxes has … (null):631 …in it and when I click it it opens in my Vivaldi browser as a blank page.
Also after upgrade the Canon drivers were still there as when I tried to print a test document the system correctly saw the connected printer so they must be communicating.
As a sort of newbie to this wonderful OS maybe I am not correctly installing the latest canon drivers correctly. If so can some expert just list the blow by blow procedure / terminal input uninstall and reinstall the deb package. This may resolve the issue or it could be to do with ‘cups’.
I am stumped
