Re: Canon printers on wheezy (solved)

[ken <gebser@mousecar.com>]

Hey, Rob,

I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to get a Canon PIXMA MX422 (same as 
the MX429 sold at Walmart) working.  It's a newer all-in-one printer.

I downloaded both source code and rpm tarballs from Canon Singapore. 
The RPM wouldn't install because it needed libusb v.1.0.1 which is much 
higher than what I have.  Similar library dependencies prevented me from 
successfully compiling (autogen.sh & make) all of the source code files.

So what was your secret?
