Uninstalling the Printer Driver
When installing a new version of the Canon CAPT Printer Driver for Linux, install the new driver after you have uninstalled the current driver.
Note
This procedure describes the version of each module as "x.xx-x". When entering commands, insert the version of the driver you are using.
To check the version of the printer driver you are using, refer to "Checking the Driver Version" in the "Appendix".
Before uninstalling the printer driver, be sure to close the status monitor and ccpd daemon.
If ccpd daemon is set to start automatically when Linux starts up, change the setting so that it does not start automatically before restarting Linux.
