I've attached the printer via USB, Ubuntu finds it, installs it (both the MF4450 and the MF4450 (Fax) printers, since it is a 4in1) but is not able to print even the Test Page.



I'm new to Ubuntu as main system (I was a Windows 7 user up to 2012, playing with some distro in VM but nothing more), what could I check / try ?



I tagged it both 12.10 and 13.04 since the problem was there on the first and is still present after the upgrade to the second.

  • Using the superkey (the windows key in windows) and then writing printing, do you see the printer icon WITHOUT any red or failure msg on it ?

  • I've not got your message, could you be more clear ? Should I write "printing" after pressing the superkey ? I've a localized ubuntu (ITA, and Gnome Shell, if it matters)... thanks in advance

  • Just go to see your printings devices ;) its under the "System Setting" --> printing or the way I mentioned, press superkey and then write "printing". check if it has some red flag attached to the printer icon or not.

Ensure you have 32bit libs installed:



sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 ia32-libs lib32z1 





share|improve this answer




















  • Thanks, I've read in some forums too that 32bit libs may be involved even if I've a 64bit SO and 64bit printer drivers; I've run that command and it says that there are some dependencies that cannot be resolved: ia32-libs-multiarch :/

  • Run sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch before, then sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 ia32-libs lib32z1 and now it prints like a charm. I've got nothing of what I've done, but I'm happy now :D 32bit libs to make 64bit drivers on 64bit SO is something that sucks tbh
