I am running Ubuntu 14.04. I am new to Linux and my Canon LBP6000 printer isn't working with Ubuntu 14.04.

I tried this question's answer as solution, but I didn't work.

I tried the following commands:

# amd64 only
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 libxml2:i386 zlib1g:i386 libpopt0:i386

and got an error:

dpkg: error: unable to create new file '/var/lib/dpkg/arch-new': Permission denied

How should I proceed?

  • Add `sudo` to the begginings of the comands, this asks for `admin`access (called `root` in ubuntu) so `sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386` enter pass word `sudo apt-get update` then `sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 libxml2:i386 zlib1g:i386 libpopt0:i386` any more issues please make a question, also see the manual for explanations of all this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ – Mark Kirby Aug 08 '15 at 17:21

Using sudo (root or administrative) rights:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 libxml2:i386 zlib1g:i386 libpopt0:i386

In the most cases you need sudo to become root access to install software in your system.

As I know all printers have been already installed in Linux systems. Just try that;

0-Your cable must be plugged,

1-open your system settings,

2-search printers,

3-a new window will open,

4-just click that button "add", (maybe something different,I am not using a different language not English)

5-find your printer.

That will be work. (Work for me every-time for every printers)
