At the time that I had Zorin OS installed, I posted my concern in this Canon Community Support forum to see if anyone could help me to install the scanner driver for my multifunction Canon PIXMA TR8520 office device on my computer and I was told that Canon unfortunatelly did not offer any support for installing the Linux drivers that it provides onto Zorin OS regardless of the fact that Zorin OS is a Ubuntu based Linux distribution.

I have just installed the latest Ubuntu Linux distribution on my computer.
