Does this MP620 Canon printer work?

Hi all,

I am interested in acquiring a Canon MP620 printer scanner. I am looking at the printer list from linux.com, and I don’t see it there. Wondering if it works really good with Opensuse.

Thanks,

Heeter

Have a look here -> Pixma MP600 MP610 MP620 MP630 Linux Cups | Download Pixma MP600 MP610 MP620 MP630 Linux Cups software for free at SourceForge.net
There would seem to be PPD files for this printer available. Also here - >Computers and Airplanes: How to use the Canon PIXMA MP620 with Kubuntu 8.10
which gives instructions, albeit under Ubuntu, but it should get it going.

I had a Canon MP160 working through Canon Japan website if of any use.

Usually drivers are for 32 bit Linux distributions, so you need to do this:

Copy the driver file located in /usr/lib/cups/filter to /usr/lib64/cups/filter

And it Should work !

Canon MP620 is NOT supported by OpenSUSE 11.3 out-of-the box. I have a MP600 and it used to work with OpenSUSE 10.3, but after I upgraded to 11.3, it was no longer supported. I was able to get it working by downloading some RPM packages and doing some tricky install and configuration work. See my post here at:

So, with a little effort, you should be able to make it work.
