Stampante Canon PIXma iP1500

[yudhistira]

Salve  a tutti,
sono nuovo di Ubuntu e abbastanza newbie.
Vorrei chiedervi se potete suggerirmi una procedura per l'installazione della stampante in oggeto sotto ubuntu 5.10.
Con suse ho dovuto rinunciare.

Ubunto la riconosce chiaramente ma quando devo installare il driver non lo trovo in quelli disponibili.
Dove lo trovo il driver e, soprattitto, come e dove lo installo perché ubuntu lo veda?

Ciao

Delle canon pixma se ne sta parlando anche su altri post, la situazione è la stessa: se hai un'architettura intel, esistono i driver della canon, ed una guida che trovi qui: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport ... ters/PIXMA
Se sei un un'altra architettura sono utilizzabili i driver turboprint, li trovi con una ricerca con google, a quanto pare funzionano benissimo, hanno un costo di circa 30,00 €, dopo un mese di prova devi pagare la licenza.

ciao

Ho seguito l'howto che mi hai ndicato.

The HOWTO: 1. Install required packages Install alien with synaptic Install libxml1 with synaptic (required later on to run canon's bjcups application)

Infatti con synaptic ho installato i due pacchetti.

2. Download Driver open terminal cd to your preferred download directory For ip4000

$ wget ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/b....50-2.i386.rpm ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/b....50-2.i386.rpm ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/b....50-2.i386.rpm

For ip3000

$ wget ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/b....50-2.i386.rpm ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/b....50-2.i386.rpm ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/b....50-2.i386.rpm

for ip8500

$ wget ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/b....50-2.i386.rpm ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/b....50-2.i386.rpm ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/b....50-2.i386.rpm

Ho preso i driver linux dal sito della canon e l'ho scaricati in un directory. MI è sembrato più facile rispetto alla procedura consigliata .

3. Convert .rpm to .deb

$ sudo alien bjfilter-common-2.50-2.i386.rpm
$ sudo alien bjfilter-pixusip4100-lprng-2.50-2.i386.rpm
$ sudo alien bjfilter-pixusip4100-2.50-2.i386.rpm

(note: change filenames appropriate to much your printer's)

Ho convertito i file rpm in file deb.

4. Install

$ sudo dpkg -i

Ho installato i file .deb.

Faccio queste operazioni


5.Edit .ppd file To allow printing quality options to be accessed through cups' printer properties you must edit as root the printer's ppd file.(This applies only to the ip4000. I don't know the settings for ip3000 or ip8600.Backup and try it)

$ sudo gedit /usr/share/cups/model/canonpixusip4100.ppd

Add these lines:

*OpenUI *CNQuality/Quality: PickOne
*DefaultCNQuality: 3
*CNQuality 2/High: "2"
*CNQuality 3/Normal: "3"
*CNQuality 4/Standard: "4"
*CNQuality 5/Economy: "5"
*CloseUI: *CNQuality

You can also replace these lines:

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: ">setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

with:

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: ">setpagedevice"
*Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: ">setpagedevice"
*Resolution 2400/2400 dpi: ">setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

Save the file

fatto anche questo.


6. Fix libs

$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2
$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
$sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 /usr/lib/libxml.so.1

(i don't know why i do this but otherwise the printer does not work)

7. Restart Cups

$ sudo killall cupsd
$ sudo cupsd

8. Setup Printer -System>Administration>Printing>New Printer -Choose Local or network printer and specify port or url, respectively -Forward Manufacturer>canon Model> PIXUS iP4100 Ver.2.50 (depends on your printer) Driver>Standard -Apply (if you can't find your printer choose:install driver>choose the ppd file you edited, reboot and try again to setup printer)

9. Test Right Click on printer> properties>print test page

Fatte tutte queste cose riesco a vedere nella lista finalmente la stampante.
Ma quando chiedo il test di stampa non va.

che devo fare ancora?

Ciao

10. Setup on GIMP -open an image to print -file>print>Choose your printer name>setup printer: Printer Model>PostScript level 2 command>lpr -P (mine is PIXUS-iP4100-Ver.2.50) PPD File>browse at /usr/share/cups/model/ (mine is /usr/share/cups/model/canonpixusip4100.ppd) -OK -Save Settings -Print

I don't know if changing to a higher resolution works. The test pages showed same quality with any resolution.I think that resolution is actually controlled with the quality settings only, at the cups' printer properties menu>advanced>quality(High, Normal, standard, economy). I also suppose that the .ppd file can be further tweaked to allow more options to be set up in the cups properties menu, and more features might be unlocked (if somebody is experienced with cups help would be appreciated).

11.Run bjcups application Bjcups is canon's application that allows you to set printer's settings and perform maintenance tasks such as head alighnment.

$ bjcups -P (mine is PIXUS-iP4100-Ver.2.50)

To print a file you may also use:

$ bjcups -P

Finally, at [WWW] ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/ you can find some other applications that might be useful, the source code for the drivers, and a user's guide for the driver in Japanese. I somehow translated it in English using [WWW] http://www.systranbox.com/systran/box .

Hope it works Please post for any problems or fixes
