Red face http://localhost:631/ Problem

For Mint Cinnamon 64bit. Canon PIXMA MX922

I'm trying to install a printer for the first time in Linux. (I may have tried and failed years ago.)

I'm trying to use this as a tutorial: https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/194 .

I says to go to http://localhost:631/ but I get "This site can’t be reached".

Are they down? Is this obsolete? If so please lead me to the right one.


Thanks

Hi Matt.
First of all update your system. If you are happy with command line open terminal then type sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade password enter..
When finished open /menu/administration/printers add printer. find network printer (must be connected and on) Should give you a good result.. Though Canon can be a tricky beast..
