Just switched from PinGuy to OpenSUSE(Linux 3.11.10-7-default
openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (i586), and am having trouble with the printer.
I plugged it into the USB port, went to printer configurations, it recognized and connected, but would not print anything after.
I inserted the software disc, but it shows it as blank, downloaded a driver for Linux and tried to open it through Wine, but that failed.

My printer worked fine with PinGuy, and my computer tells me nothing about there being an issue whenever I send out a print job, so what could possibly be the problem?

That one would not do anything when I hit AcceptAndDownload, but I found the same program on the Australian website:
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/010027080...

After I downloaded, it said that I don't have the sufficient program to open Gzip files, went to Yast to look for them, but nothing there.

Any more/further suggestions? : /

Standard way to extract compressed archives in Linux.

This is what I get in response:

tar: z: Cannot open: No such file or directory

The file is in my Downloads folder; do I need to place it elsewhere, or is this not the problem?

Copy it to your home folder then tar it. Or leave it in your download and cd downloads, be sure to spell downloads exactly as the folder is named, yes it's case sensitive, and then tar it or tell tar where it is tar. ../downloads/ufr...

you can also just start typing the file name, then press tab. it is case sensitive.

tab will auto complete the file name for you.
of course you need to be in the same directory as the file when you use tar.

use command ls to list files in the directory to be sure it is there.
