I have a Canon Maxify 2750.
Up until now I’ve been using the standar linux drivers for it but they have a serious limitation I really need to solve which is I can only print one page at a time, on one sheet of paper. Printer is capable of full duplex printing.
If been able to install the drivers before but now I’me being confronted with an unexpected _"("_ error. Nothing more, nothing less.
I run the install script and it just fails.
Can someone lend a hand on this, please?
Richard Stallman wept.
The proprietary drivers for my printer are 1GB large.
Printing turns a document into a postscript file and sends that to the printer, what the fuck does it need 1GB of data for that??Name and shame the printer company. That’s infuriating to read.
Those are the Windows drivers for a Kyocera printer-scanner-combo.
Under Linux it runs out of the box with the drivers included in CUPS.“Fuck Yooouuu Kyocera, and Fuck Yoooouuuu Windoze!!!” -Emporer Akihito, South Park “Whale Wars” reference
I get the reference and I second that one.

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:
gutenprint-printer-app devices?
I haven’t installed the GUI
The printer remains as is, faulty
What’s the exact error it’s giving?
install.sh: 27: Syntax error: "(" unexpectedJust like that.
