Josh, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

** Tags removed: canon network pixma printing
** Tags added: bios-outdated-f7 needs-upstream-testing

Title:
  Canon PIXMA network printer discovery fails

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm sorry if this is redundant, since I have already posted
  information about it here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/75887/how-
  do-i-add-a-canon-pixma-mx860-network-printer.

  I am running Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 on two computers, one is AMD-64bit
  architecture, the other i386--same problem on both. In 11.04 I could
  setup printing and scanning just fine, but after a fresh install of
  11.10, adding ppa:michael-gruz/canon, and installing cnijfilter-
  mx860series version 3.10-2ubuntu4 and scangearmp-common from the PPA,
  Ubuntu's system-config-printer cannot detect my network printer.

  In the previous installation it appeared as cnijnet://printers-mac-
  address. I know it should be able to see it because I can ping the
  printer at its IP address, I can browse the printer's web admin page
  from the computer, and my Windows guest in VirtualBox on the computer
  has no problem detecting and installing it. It seems like this problem
  is new to Oneiric.

  I found the following work around. The network printer can be
  installed if you enter the URI manually. When adding a new printer,
  select 'EnterURI' from the devices list and enter
  'cnijnet:/01-23-45-67-89-AB' where 01-23-45-67-89-AB is the MAC
  address of the printer. You have to manually select the printer model
  for the driver, but everything prints as it should.

  If that doesn't work, follow the manual instructions from
  http://linux.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_Canon_PIXMA_to_work_on_Linux:

  $ cnijnetprn --search auto 
  <...Wait for system search...>
  network cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A "Canon MX860 series" "Canon-MX860-series_00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A"

  $ locate mx860.ppd
  /usr/share/cups/model/cnmx860.ppd
  /usr/share/ppd/cnmx860.ppd
  $ sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p CanonMX860 -m cnmx860.ppd -v cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A -E

  the '-p' option specifies printer name, the '-m' option specified ppd
  file, the ppd file for your printer should be included in your binary
  driver package and at this point should have been installed in
  /usr/share/ppd, the '-v' option specifies device uri (copy it from
  cnijnetprn's output).

  Scanning

  For scanning, edit /etc/saned/pixma.conf and add the line
  'bjnp://10.0.0.20' (the Pixma's IP address). Test to make sure Ubuntu
  can found it with

  $ scanimage -L
  device `pixma:MX860_10.0.0.20' is a CANON Canon PIXMA MX860 multi-Function peripheral

  You can additionally edit out unnecessary backends (all but pixma)
  from /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. That should speed the discovery up a bit.
  For more details, check out 'man sane-pixma'.

  Although I couldn't find any documentation as to why or how, the Canon network printer discovery protocol doesn't work right in 11.10 as it does in previous versions--perhaps a discovery timeout issue? Still, everything is up and running now, but it would be nice to work out of box in future releases.
