## Overview

This repository is a Canon CAPT driver installer for Ubuntu. The documented workflow is to run the setup script, select a printer model and USB or LAN connection, then install the driver and configure the printer; a desktop shortcut provides status checking. A separate script restarts printer services and CUPS. Source excerpts were unavailable, so the graph includes only README-documented relationships and does not infer internal implementation details.

Main entry points: [`canon_lbp_setup.sh`](https://github.com/linhdhvn/ubuntu_canon_printer/blob/master/canon_lbp_setup.sh) (Setup script), [`canon_restart.sh`](https://github.com/linhdhvn/ubuntu_canon_printer/blob/master/canon_restart.sh) (Restart script), [`Packages`](https://github.com/linhdhvn/ubuntu_canon_printer/tree/master/Packages) (CAPT packages)
