I tried to install the MP190 drivers, but appeared a message show me that requires to have libcupsys2. I understand that libcup2 is an update of libcupsys2.

How do I solve this? Are there proprietary drivers for my Canon printer or scanner?

#### Accepted Answer

## PPA

I found the solution!

```
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk  
sudo apt-get update

```

for older releases use `ppa:michael-gruz/canon`.

Finally,

`sudo apt-get install [model]`

## Printer

Where [model] would be for:
