Can't print with Canon printer
Posted: Sat Mar 23, 2013 12:15 pm
Hi,
I've a problem printing on Linux Mint 14 with the Canon MF8330 cdn. Mint tells me it sends a job to the printer and that the jobs finishes succesfully, but nothing is printed. I've searched online for several solutions, but nothing seems to work. This is what i did sofar:
1. Convert Canon drivers version 2.5 64bit to deb with alien:
a. sudo alien -s cndrvcups-common-2.50-1.x86-64.rpm
b. sudo alien -s cndrvcups-ufr2-uk-2.50-1.x86-64.rpm
2. Create symlinks
a. sudo ln -s /usr/lib /usr/lib64
b. sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib64
3. Install drivers
a. sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-common...
b. sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-ufr2-uk...
4. Add code to /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.cupsd
a. /usr/lib64/cups/backend/cnusb Uxr,
b. /usr/lib64/cups/filter/pstoufr2cpca Uxr,
5. Restart cups with sudo service cups restart
I use an usb cabel to connect the printer. The connection looks like this: usb://Canon/MF8300%20Series?serial=XXXXXXXXXXX&interface=1.
I do'nt get any errors but nothing is printed. Any help appreciated.
