MFC8000 Printer

Canon MFC8000 Printer

Documentation

This is a printer. It should just be available on the network. However demons may be involved.

Driver Install

Note automatic drivers (Bonjour/Mac and Windows Drivers) just don't work. You'll have to install them yourself from Canon's Site - Look for "Drivers".

Printing

Machines in the lab should have them installed and work, but no guarantee.

If you send a print job and it doesn't print, you may have to wake the printer up ("Energy Saver" button on the top right).

Scanning

After installing the drives linked above scanning over the network should work under Windows and MacOS.

For MacOS just use the built-in system scanning utility.

For Windows use the official Canon tool for scanning, MF Toolbox. If it's not already installed, grab it from the drivers download link above.

Scanning over the network does not work on Linux in my (chalmers) experience. I recommend you run the windows version of "MF Toolbox" through Wine. Or just use one of HackLab's windows machines, like the media PC. Sorry :(
