[Workaround] Printing on older canon (mg3022) through Ubuntu is broken

Tested on my wife's 24.04 machine and my 26.04 machine.

No error messages to be seen but everything over USB and network instantly returns "Printing Completed!"

I forgot to write down the version that my wife's laptop uses but my 26.04 install is on 2.4.16-1ubuntu1 amd64

Rather than wrestle with downgrading (as I know this printer worked on 22.04 machines years back..) I spun up a fedora VM in virt-manager and passed the printer through and all prints started working instantly. The VM was Fedora 44 lxqt and is using cups version 2.4.18-1. Kind of silly but I guess I'll be keeping a tiny 'printer' VM around. Not the worst thing in the world.

Not posting this as a real 'fix' just figured I'd share since I found very few Google results for my printer model and Ubuntu and wanted to let folks know that the hardware is fine and even Linux compatibility is fine, but there's something up with the versions of cups that Ubuntu installs.

[help] Is there any way to download a high-quality version of "Mako - Ghosts (Exit Friendzone Remix)" ?

This is one of my favorite tracks of all time yet I can only really find it outside of via a crunched up version on YouTube.

Proximity had download links but the links are long since dead.

The song is on SoundCloud but downloads are disabled.

Not on Tidal or Spotify.

Would love to find a way to buy this somehow.

How can one person set up an A-Frame with two camping poles?

Going to try camping poles for the first time along with a tarp to create a larger dry area. They have a rubber bottom and top and are sturdy but have absolutely no ability to stand on their own. I have paracord and the tarp itself and plenty of stakes.

What's confusing me is that these poles have zero ability to stand on their own. So my question is.. How do I actually get the two poles standing if I can only work on one at a time and the tension on the cord has to already be there for it to stand?
