Hi. I installed Zorin 18 core 4 days ago. It automatically found my Cann Maxify GX4040 printer, and it also showed up in the scanner app. I paired my phone via Zorin Connect. Two days later, it stopped working. It doesn't automatically find the printer. It gives it a network IP, but it doesn't work properly. Zorrin Connect also doesn't connect anymore, and I can't pair my phone. The devices are on the same LAN. I'm a newbie, so please bear with me. Regards.
Is your network working otherwise?
If so, can you launch terminal with app menu or ctl+alt+t and run each command one after another:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install --reinstall cups cups-browsed cups-core-drivers
sudo systemctl restart cups
Good news. I ran the command in the terminal. I found the printer by specifying its IP address. I installed it and it's printing, but the manufacturer is still missing. I downloaded the drivers, installed them, and still nothing.
I will check this tommorow. Thx
Printer working but scaner no. after installing the scanner system and now it does not search for the installed drivers.
EDIT.
I ran a test. I booted the computer from a USB flash drive with Zorin 18 without installing it. The printer and scanner searches worked immediately. I booted the computer normally from the system drive and... the scanner was detected. I think it was due to updates that were downloaded after installation. After a clean install, everything was fine, but after downloading the update, it crashed. I don't know how to check the current system version.
