Update.
Partial good news. On LL2.4 Kernel 3.13 updated - and following the Canon Printers Guidance as per the LL updated manual - I have been able to get the MP495 to print via USB cable, using the dedicated MP495 driver.
A GUI appears in menu/Graphics/canon-printer-maintenance & Canon-printer-monitor. . The former works well. Have not tried the WIFI connection route yet
Now to try and get the scanning part to work. Printer scnner part of the MP495 identified in the XSane GUI box "Xsane 0.998 Canon Pixma MP495 but error message "Error During Read: Error During Device I/O There is a brief "squeak" of communication and avery brief sound of some movement within the MP495 before the error message comes up.
. Not sure how toi get round that. Any ideas?? Thanks
Progress Certainly don't have to junk it!!
