It's looking for a filename containing 'amd64' in the ./packages/ folder and not finding it. What is in ./packages/ ?

It's expecting x86_64 when your system calls it amd64. amd64 dates back to the days when AMD invented 64-bit computing on x86 and before Intel entered the market. In some places the name was switched to x86_64 to avoid confusion. In some places amd64 was retained, to cause confusion.

Hopefully, renaming that folder from cnijfilter-common-4.00-1.x86_64 to cnijfilter-common-4.00-1.amd64 will allow it to run but I can't rule out further hardcoded pickiness.

Hammer & Screwdriver Installing Printer driver vol.2

Hello Community,

I ask for your kind help.
Printer: Canon MG3550
OS: OpenSUSE 13.2
And a wireless network.

Situation: I have a network connected AiO printer, which I cannot install onto my system. I have downloaded the appropriate drivers from the official site. (Sorry, I am not allowed to post an URL.) The printer works fine with other win-based-systems, and this PC is also online.


After extracting, I have installed manually the two packages, then I tried to start the install file, output:
Code:
j@Dell-755:~/Downloads/cnijfilter-mg3500series-4.00-1-rpm> sudo ./install.sh
==================================================

Canon Inkjet Printer Driver
Version 4.00
Copyright CANON INC. 2001-2013
All Rights Reserved.

==================================================
Command executed = rpm --test -U ./packages/cnijfilter-common-4.00-1.x86_64.rpm
        package cnijfilter-common-4.00-1.x86_64 is already installed
Command executed = rpm --test -U ./packages/cnijfilter-mg3500series-4.00-1.x86_64.rpm
        package cnijfilter-mg3500series-4.00-1.x86_64 is already installed

#=========================================================#
#  Register Printer
#=========================================================#
Next, register the printer to the computer.
Connect the printer, and then turn on the power.
To use the printer on the network, connect the printer to the network.
When the printer is ready, press the Enter key.
> 

#=========================================================#
#  Connection Method
#=========================================================#
 1) USB
 2) Network
Select the connection method.[1]2

Searching for printers...
./install.sh: Line 524: cnijlgmon2: Command not found.


#=========================================================#
#  Select Printer
#=========================================================#
Select the printer.
If the printer you want to use is not listed, select Update [0] to search again.
To cancel the process, enter [Q].
-----------------------------------------------------------
 0) Update
-----------------------------------------------------------
Could not detect the target printer.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Currently selected:[0] Update

OK, when I searched for the 524th line, I found this:

Code:
#-----------------------------
    # Execute device search
    #-----------------------------
    if [ "$1" = "LAN" ]; then
        p_local_srch_result=`${P_printer_sudo_command}cnijlgmon2 --installer_net`
    else
        p_local_srch_result=`${P_printer_sudo_command}cnijlgmon2 --installer_usb`
    fi

On the PC I could also find relevant data in the /usr/local/share/ directory.


How can I move on with the installation?Smilie
Any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.Smilie
