Hello! I'm starting to use Debian. Chosen testing for now to support my latest hardware. I also need to install home wireless printer/scanner. I've found drivers and application on manufacturer website ( http://www.canon.pl/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/inkjet/pixma_mg_series/pixma_mg2950.aspx?type=drivers=). There are packages available in deb format but as the requirement section says it's for Ubuntu. Will I do much harm for Debian installing it? As per Debian Wiki it's not recommended but I'm afraid I have not much choice. Thanks for you input!

May we have the full name of the file you download to get packages in deb format? Which page on the Debian wiki are you referring to?

I also use a Canon wireless printer/scanner, the PIXMA MG3500, and installed it from cups. Works great. Scanning is a little more problematic, but I was able to get it to work without much trouble. I did not need any additional drivers for it to work, cups took care of it without a hitch. > > On 31/05/2016 19:05, Brian wrote: >> On Tue 31 May 2016 at 09:07:18 +0000, Marcin Solski wrote: >> >>> I'm starting to use Debian.
