How to set up Canon iR2520 network scanner

lqmsh · 04-19-2023, 05:57 AM

Is there anyone who successfully set up Canon iR2520 network scanner?
I googled and followed relevant wiki pages. But not working.
Could you anyone can give advice?
Thanks in advance.

Saying "not working" doesn't tell us anything...and you also don't tell us version/distro of Linux or what you've done/tried thus far, or where you got these 'relevant wiki pages'. We have no idea what you've done or what you're seeing or even what you're trying to accomplish, so we can't give you much advice.

A brief look says there is a Linux driver from Canon:

...updated a short time ago.

also be advised that Canon is notoriously linux UNFRIENDLY

there are some drivers for a few things but NOT really on the USA web page
you need to use the UK's country code

Problem solved or more help...

Which wiki and what did you try? Did you install the linux driver from Canon to see if it has a scanner component. If so, and it is like other Canon scanner drivers, it may need to be run from its own GUI.
