You shouldn't be concerned because you can update your Printer drivers as a prevention measure. Device drivers can be functional one day, and then stop functioning the next day due to a number of causes. IR3230 PCL6 errors may be linked to corrupt or outdated drivers of your computer. I am presuming, of course, that you do have the scanner driver installed in LM20 and not just the printer driver for your device.In order to realize all of the functions of your iR3230 PCL6 hardware, we recommend checking for driver updates periodically.

The 'sane-airscan' download is not essential but can be useful and provides a further option when you run the scanner software such as 'Document Scanner'. 04/amd64/ and download and install ' ipp-usb' and ' sane-airscan'. It seems the problem in LM20 is caused by the ' ippusbxd' service not loading and running (that's if your device is connected via usb to your computer - if you use wifi this is not your solution).īrian's solution for me was to remove ippusbxd with the terminal command ' apt purge ippusbxd' and then visit. However you may be interested in a solution I was given by brian_p for a similar problem I had with a different Canon MFP (see thread ' Re: Canon Pixma TS5050 Scanner not working in Mint 20). Probably you should have opened a new thread as your problem is not entirely the same. Select canon image runner 3225 in the drop down Reinstall your specific printer from utility Reinstall canon printer driver utility from the command only Remove/delete canon ir3230 entry from printer dialog box Go to synaptic edit click fix broken packages To clear out the broken packages use the command:

This is used to double-check that you have all the updates. Sudo aptitude update & sudo aptitude upgrade Sudo aptitude update & sudo aptitude install gtkorphan i seem to have broken few packages so i did this.

I tried removing cups and then tried reinstalling cups. My steps are copy pasted from various forums I am writing this method for canon ir3230. Two days of trial and error and nothing worked.įinally i did these steps and i don't know at which point the problem got solved. When i upgraded to linux 19 the printer stopped working.

I had canon ir3230 working absolutely fine in linux 17.
