I notice the detail of my message was removed. I gave information about the Ubuntu procedures I followed.

I am still unsuccessful getting the PIXMA 3400 to work on Linux (Ubuntu)

Eventually managed to get printer working. Just don't ask me what I did.

I would now like to install the Windows utilities provided with the printer in Linux. Can somebody help me?

Hi Danny

Thanks for your response. However, I am very disappointed it took so long to get some response. 

Are you unable to give an answer to my question about the availability of software (like the utilities supplied on CD for Windows) on Linux for the PIXMA range? Surely this is not specific model related.

Regards

We can understand your concern and your frustration. Unfortunately, Canon USA has not released an equivalent model as we have not had any PIXMA printers with model numbers in the 3400 series. As such, we are unable to provide support on your printer and we recommend that you talk to the Canon company in your part of the world for support.

We hope this helps!

Hi Danny

I did get an answer from Canon Africa. Canon does not support Linux.

Future buyers be aware?

Surely Canon USA could have given me the answer. Would have saved me a lot of time.

It is also rather disturbing that different parts of the world gets different printers. Isn't Canon USA involved in the manufacturing or programming of these printers?
