PCNetSpec, I ran commands you provided, searched for the wireless printer with it's IP address, went through the rest of the printer setup (which allowed me to choose Canon printer drivers and I did), but when I got to print a test page the printer wouldn't print. In the end, I got it working via the steps below. So, I don't know if I did something incorrectly after installing the drivers you had me run from the terminal, or if I should have just skipped installing the drivers from the printer setup. In any case, it is up and running now. I don't know if I will be able to scan documents yet, but it prints. I probably messed something up in the setup,
as I have no doubt you provided me the correct tools to get it working. I want to thank you again for all your time and assistance. I sent you a personal message, which you can ignore. Once again,
you are Awesome, and
I appreciate all your help!
So this is what I did to get it working (for future reference and for NooBs like me):
1. Menu > System Tools > Printers
2. In printer Window > Add
3. Under select device, Expanded
Network Printer4. Clicked on
Find Network Printer5. In the box to the right, next to
Host: I typed in the IP address of the printer (which can be found by printing the
printer information page, or if it is connected to the network logging into the router and finding the IP address under devices).
6. After it found the printer I went through the rest of the setup in which I chose my device, by name (Canon), and then got the drivers via the model (MG6100), and printing a test page. And it worked.
