Installing Canon’s ImageCLASS MF4270 on Ubuntu 64 bit

Updated October 19 2011 to use never version drivers. Works on Debian and LMDE too.

Tired of wasting money buying ink-jet cartridges that run out without even using them, I recently bought a Canon ImageCLASS MF4270 Laser Printer. It is also a multifunctional device with scanner, copier and fax.

Canon now provides .deb files for easy installation of their ImageCLASS MF4270 printer on Ubuntu Linux (or other debian based distributions). Unfortunately they are only providing them for i386 (32 Bit Systems)

For RPM based distributions however, they do provide 64-Bits installation files.

Using alien I converted these 64bit RPM to deb.

I am making them available here for your convinience:

Dont forget to set the device URI to: socket://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9100 (x’s being the IP address of printer)

andLinux.org — Run Linux natively inside Windows

 

andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7; 32-bit versions only).

andLinux uses coLinux as its core which is confusing for many people. coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server.

andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux applications without modification.

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
