I am new to this build and need some assistance setting up my printer.
I have it plugged in via usb and it is not recognizing the driver automatically. I have downloaded the driver from the canon website but am so lost trying to install the package.
can someone walk me through the process by chance?

Sorry, I don’t follow what you’re doing etc…
Have you tried a reboot?
Do you need to start a service with systemctl?
