The drivers will not (at present) be updated via the Mint repositories. Those with a purist attitude should note that the drivers used contain some Canon proprietary software. After seeing a link by Pjotr - it was thought worth a try. Problem was, would the Canon work with Linux? Two HP printers have worked well with Linux. Space was a problem so a compact print & scan device was important, a TS5050 met the requirements. After a 9 year old Canon printer packed up, consideration was given to replacing it along with an equally old Epson 1200 scanner.
