Canon LBP 246 DW-II printer second paper tray and double sided printing doesn´t work

Hardware Support
1

Hello,

I have a Canon LBP 246 DW-II printer.
Driver: Canon_LBP245_II_246_II_248_II
It prints, but I can’t use my second paper tray—it always prints from tray 1, and double-sided printing doesn’t work either. I’ve checked the appropriate boxes.

Need help—I’m new to Linux

Thanks in advance

DeeJay

Hello and welcome,
Download this drivers (Found on Canon official website)
https://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDEwMDAwOTIzNjIz&cmp=ABR&lang=EN

Open terminal

cd ~/Downloads
tar xvzf ~/Downloads/linux-UFRII-drv-v630-us-00.tar.gz -C .
cd linux-UFRII-drv-v630-us
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh

Try if it's better

Great, thank you very much—that works.
(Note: In the second line, you need to add an “s” to “Download.”)

Question: How can I easily duplicate this printer now?
To achieve this:
Printer 1 prints from tray 1.
Printer 2 prints from tray 2.

yeah a typo sorry :wink:
I know how to install with right drivers but I don't know how to manage...

@Nourpon already provided the solution to this problem. Canon does not provide a .deb package for its Laser Printers, only its Inkjet Printers.
I remember installing Zorin 10 on a non-networked Notebook at work and had to install a UFRIII driver for an LBP 600N mono laser printer in a classroom. So you either use the command line or if it is packaged as a .ppd you can access rhat directly. (I could setup a network connection using my login credentials and I knew what the Network settings were, so I did not need to connect the official way to AD).
