How To Fix Canon Printer Not Printing Pdf Files?
I am stumped with this Canon Printer Not Printing Pdf Files situation. I 
have a new Canon Pixma MG5300 inkjet printer which is connected via 
USB. Anything else than PDF works perfectly fine: printer test page, 
LibreOffice files, web pages, Gimp images.
But it won’t print any PDF file, from any PDF-
viewer app.
When I print a PDF file, the printer wakes up just as usual, and the display 
shows “processing” as usual. But the output tray does not open (it usually 
does), and after a few seconds the display just goes back to idle. The file 
disappears from Ubuntu’s print queue just as if it had been printed.
•I’ve tried removing the printer and letting the computer rediscover and 
reinstall it.
I’m using default printer settings.
•I’ve installed a number of PDF viewer apps from the Software Center, 
just to rule out that the built-in document viewer is to blame.
•I’ve tried with a wide variety of PDF files — some generated by 
SimpleScan, some downloaded from the Internet.
•The printer also has a WIFI interface, so I’ve tried installing it as a WIFI 
printer and use that instead of via USB. No difference.
