I have tried to add a printer in CUPS, however, there were no Canon MP210 drivers. The manufacturer does not provide any LINUX drivers. Also, I tried this on bash:
(base)###:~$ sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:thierry-f/fork-michael-gruz (base)###:~$ sudo apt update However, I've encountered errors like:
E: The repository ' focal Release' does not have a Release file. N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details. And then I could not install the driver:
(base)###:~$ sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-mp210series Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package cnijfilter-mp210series Please give me any suggestions, I have lost hope... Do you think a virtual box (Windows install) would be the best thing to do?
P.S. However, when I had Linux Mint distro everything worked fine

I have solved the problem by installing package printer-driver-gutenprint.
This package has the majority of the older printer drivers.
Go to the terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) and copy the following line:
sudo apt-get install printer-driver-gutenprint Try this:
Download this package:
Assuming it was downloaded at ~/Downloads
To install it run in a terminal:
cd ~/downloads sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter2_5.90-1+2004+1ubuntu1_amd64.deb sudo apt -f install
