I am trying to setup my wireless Canon MX520 printer:

  1. How do I obtain correct drivers for my Canon MX520 Wireless Printer?

  2. Instructions for driver installation for Canon MX520?

  • What version of Ubuntu do you have? –  Feb 10 '15 at 15:34
  • In 14.10 (and perhaps earlier versions), the driver for MX520 is built in and can be selected from the Add Printer dialog. – Jos Feb 10 '15 at 15:56

Just use the following easy steps:

  • Hook your printer up to your router and give it a fixed IP address.
  • Go to the dash and type printers
  • Click on the icon
  • Click on <kbd>+</kbd> Add
  • (type your password if needed)
  • Click on network printer
  • Wait a bit
  • Click on the Canon MX520 that now shows up.
  • Click on Forward
  • Click on "Canon" then Forward
  • Click on "MX520" then Forward
  • Click on "Apply"

Done!

And as you seem to be a beginning Ubuntu user, here's some advice on How to install software on Ubuntu for the future ex-Windows user! ;-)
