Hello, I have problems installing drivers for a Canon MF4410 printer.
OpenMandriva Lx version: ROME gnome x86_64
Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…): Gnome 47 on X11
Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant): When downloading the driver from the tar.gz archive from the official site (Like I always do on other distributions), I come across a problem “Failed dependencies”.
Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
#----------------------------------------------------#
# Install Printer Driver (rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles)
#----------------------------------------------------#
error: Failed dependencies:
gtk3 is needed by cnrdrvcups-ufr2-uk-6.00-1.06.x86_64
jbigkit-libs is needed by cnrdrvcups-ufr2-uk-6.00-1.06.x86_64
libjpeg-turbo is needed by cnrdrvcups-ufr2-uk-6.00-1.06.x86_64
Could not install.
There are no such packages as jbigkit-libs and libjpeg-turbo on the repo, and gtk3 should be 100% installed since I am literally using gnome.
I also encounter the same problem on fedora/rhel based distributions in general .
Hi shelder,
Recovering copier technician here. Normally I also get the manufacturer drivers if available, then try gutenberg drivers as a fallback. OpenMandriva looks like it is going to be a little different, I have a Kyocera here and I have not set it up yet in OpenMandriva, but in preparation I found this process that covers Canon. https://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/distribution/guides/how-tos/printer
TL/DR (and it is not long lol) run
sudo dnf install task-printing-canon
then reboot and add/configure printer.
Hopefully this helps, please let us know what the result is for you.
I installed the package you provided and I still can’t manage to find my model in system-config-printer. Seems like task-printing-canon doesn’t provide drivers for Canon MF series…

The installer looks like it really wants debian or something.
I would remove the other two from the URLs and just install jbigkit and lib64turbojpeg0 with dnf. When I extracted the file I see there is a rpm file in the x64 folder. If you install that manually, do you get the same missing file dialog?
The issue is the dependency naming. Try the rpm install with --nodeps. You don’t lose anything but time if the application doesn’t work. Another thing you could try is to unpack the rpm and just pull the PPD files out and install them manually to the printer configuration tool.
Holy cow, it works. sudo rpm -i --nodeps cnrdrvcups-ufr2-uk-6.00-1.06.x86_64.rpm
All I needed is to put --nodeps
It launched a menu where I could add my printer and it works! Thank you.
