Canon Imageclass D570 laser printer/scanner driver
#31
The reason the printer shows up as a network printer in Linux Lite is because you previously used it in Windows. This does not mean that the printer is using Linux drivers and/or can work in Linux, only that it can work over a Windows network connection to a Linux OS desktop with some limitations. Canon states that the Linux D570 printer drivers (deb and/or rpm) are not ready so I'm not sure where you found such drivers. The scanner works in Linux because there is a complete Linux SANE (scanner access now easy) library for the Canon D570. Two different things.
