Printing from Zorin to a Canon printer

Hardware Support
1

I just bought a Canon Pixma MegaTank G3290 direct from Canon, received it on Wednesday, and now I find out they don't have drivers for Linux. I was told I could install Canon Print "from the app store", but of course, there is no Linux app store, and no one at Canon seems to know anything about Linux. The workaround, of course, is to print everything from my phone, but that's not acceptable, because I'd have to send everything first to my phone and then print from there.

Are there drivers anywhere for a Canon G3290? Is there a Canon Print program from a Linux laptop?

Took a while, but finally got there - vimeo being a pain at logging in on LibreWolf! Had to use 3 different types of Captcha, then having already agreed previously, to allow DRM, had to do it again before I could login - anyhoo:

@rosawoodsii just be sure to look here first:

I downloaded the drivers and with the help of ChatGPT everything seems to be running smoothly. Thank you for your help.

Interesting that Canon Support didn't know where to find the drivers.
