Someone who has the above all-in-one wanted to get it going in Linux. Trying to help them, I went to the Canon Australia site. At that site, I found links to two drivers for the machine, one for scanning and one for printing. Both were dated March 2007. I had a quick look at the scanning driver documentation, which said that the driver was for Fedora Core 6 and a version of Suse I can't now recall. I haven't had any opportunity to go further, but thought I should bring this to attention, in case it helps anyone.

hi...anybody here can help me..
what similar driver suitable with canon pixma1000 for win server 2003..Plz...

Yep, I've got an MP160 here as well; roommate got it free with his new mac laptop. Our RAID server runs gentoo. Would be nice to know the scoop, I'd set it up as a print server if it'll work. Openprinting.org says it's a paperweight.

I have today installed the Canon MP160 printer driver said to be for Fedora Core 6 on a machine running Fedora Core 3.

It works perfectly.

I haven't yet tried the accompanying scanner driver.

Today, I was able to install the FC6 printer driver I mentioned at the outset on a computer running FC3.

It works perfectly.

I'm delighted to see that the data for this all-in-one has just been changed to reflect the existence of the new Linux drivers from Canon to which I referred in my original post.

I want to add only one thing to that information--I was able to install the RPMs said to be for Fedora Core 6 on a computer running Fedora Core 3.

The printing function worked perfectly. I haven't yet been able to get the scanning function going. The copying function works without the need for any software.

I installed my MP160 on Linux Ubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06 with success by following the instructions in Home : Database : Printers : Canon : PIXMA MP160. The printer and scanner work great.

To scan, I cannot use XSane (the driver does not seem to be compatable). But it works with either Gimp, or directly with the provided Canon software: scangearmp (installed in /usr/local/bin/).

A small other info: for some programs installed by the driver in /usr/local/bin, it is necessary to have installed the package libxml1 (or else you get the message:
error while loading shared libraries: libxml.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory).
You can then use for example printuimp160 that allows maintenance operations (cleaning...).

I need drivers for my mp160 canon

If you're using *Ubuntu 7.04 the drivers are named MULTPASS MPxxx, but this has been fixed in gutenprint(upstream)(not yet in Ubuntu)

thanks

I've just read the info about obtaining Linux drivers for the Canon MP160 printer..
Flix, you told about MULTPASS MPxxx..
Would you expand on that? I'm new to the world of Linux.. Yes, I'm attempting to use Ubuntu 7.+ Feisty Fawn .... Can't seem to get my hands on the driver/drivers you talked about..
What is gutenprint (upstream)?

Shaw

wanna install this printer but was no cd rum for it.
