[Solved] Canon PIXMA TS705 Drivers

Support Printers
5

Thanks Nachlese.

I installed debtap, on Manjaro initialize with sudo debtap -U on arch initialize with sudo debtap -u and it’s works

It just created a folder with subfolders with a couple of files but nothing else, following these instructions the package is quickly done by using debtap -q <package-name> and this works fine.

Please to all people want use -q, use small q not the capital letter Q, after some edits…

so the complete procedure is:

Canon PIXMA TS705 Drivers

Step 1. Download Canon PIXMA TS705 Drivers, choose (debian Packagearchive).

Step 2. Unpack the archive with File-manager or Code:

tar xzf cnijfilter2-5.80-1-deb.tar.gz

Step 3. Inside unpacked archive/folder we find the package of interest, this is:

/cnijfilter2-5.80-1-deb/packages/cnijfilter2_5.80-1_amd64.deb

Step 4. Install ‘debtap’ and other necessary packages with Code:


sudo pacman -S --needed bash base-devel git wget binutils pkgfile fakeroot \
debtap system-config-printer cups-pk-helper cups-pdf

don’t worry about \ (back-slash) in Linux, it just mean ‘continue command or list in next line!’.

Step 5. Initialize ‘debtap’ with Code:

sudo debtap -u

Step 6. Convert deb-package to zst-package with Code:

debtap -q cnijfilter2_5.80-1_amd64.deb

Step 7. Install new converted zst-package with Code:

  1. Recommended is the installation without ‘ARM-RISK 32-bit’ dependencies with Code:

sudo pacman -Udd cnijfilter2-5.80-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

  1. Installation with ‘ARM-RISK 32-bit’ dependencies with Code:

sudo pacman -U cnijfilter2-5.80-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Remove drivers or any other package (Arch-Linux &/ Manjaro)

sudo pacman -Rns cnijfilter2-5.80-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Thanks again to Nachlese to helping me!
