Hi Jan, I'm Marie I'd be happy to help you today

When the computer is in S mode you can't install applications outside Microsoft Store, you can search Canon website for the driver if they provide it in the Store, if they don't have it you cannot install the printer driver in S Mode.

In this case our best option is to switch out of S mode.

Best regards,
Marie

Thank you.

But the system (S mode) won't allow me to install the driver downloaded from Cannon's website. Is there a way around this without switching out of S mode?

PPA

I found the solution!

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk  
sudo apt-get update

for older releases use ppa:michael-gruz/canon.

Finally,

sudo apt-get install [model]

Printer

Where [model] would be for:

Scanner

If you would like to download the scanner application (and driver) install one of these packages (according to your model number):

scangearmp-mg5100series
scangearmp-mg5200series
scangearmp-mg6100series
scangearmp-mg8100series
scangearmp-mp140series
scangearmp-mp160series
scangearmp-mp190series
scangearmp-mp210series
scangearmp-mp240series
scangearmp-mp250series
scangearmp-mp270series
scangearmp-mp280series
scangearmp-mp490series
scangearmp-mp495series
scangearmp-mp510series
scangearmp-mp520series
scangearmp-mp540series
scangearmp-mp550series
scangearmp-mp560series
scangearmp-mp600series
scangearmp-mp610series
scangearmp-mp630series
scangearmp-mp640series
scangearmp-mx320series
scangearmp-mx330series
scangearmp-mx340series

scangearmp-mx410series
scangearmp-mx420series
scangearmp-mx860series
scangearmp-mx870series
scangearmp-mx880series

Then look for "Scan Gear MP" or run from the terminal:

scangearmp

For 14.04 through 20.04 do the following:

  1. Download the drivers from: https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/black-and-white-laser/mf4770n?tab=drivers#Z7_MQH8HIC0L88RB0AMD0F1Q42K25

  2. Extract the file archive to a directory. From that directory:

    cd ~/Downloads
    tar -xf *inux_UFRII*.tar.*
    sudo dpkg -i *inux_UFRII*/*/Debian/*.deb
    sudo apt-get install -f
    
  3. It shouldn't be necessary to reboot, but if the next step fails, reboot and try again.

  4. Run "Add printer". That should just show up automatically when you click the 'Add' button. Give it a few seconds and the printer chirps then just magically shows up.

EDIT 2/27/16 (16.04beta) Updated the link to the 3.10 driver (they updated their website). Everything just worked using above, didn't need to reboot.

EDIT 9/8/16: The current driver version is now 3.20. Make installation commands agnostic to both the driver version and the system architecture.

EDIT 06/12/20: The current driver version is now 5.10. Adjusted the installation steps for different wildcards.
