[Unsolveable in 64bit] 64-bit Mint 13 KDE and Canon LBP7018C

[Tonttu]

People have gotten LBP7018C to work on 32-bit Ubuntu systems: http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=766611
Has anyone done it successfully on a 64-bit system?
I had to create .debs from 64-bit RPMs supplied by Canon and then followed this tutorial: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/insta ... _canon_lbp

Captstatusui works and says Ready to print. Printing jobs, however, get stuck with this error:
"Can't connect to CCPD: Connection refused"

I will try next with a laptop on which I will install 32-bit Mint 14 KDE.

Did you get this: http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer ... oad&page=1

or:
http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search ... g_os=Linux

Both are the same but just in case one of two download pages are offline...


Just found some other sites with drivers:

Hey, thanks for that Australian link! It has version 2.5, while I only found 2.4. It still doesn't have a deb for 64-bits, but I will first try with alien and then the 32-bit deb.

edit: 2.5 didn't help on 64-bit. 32-bit report to follow in the next couple of days..

Konfuxius say printer working on 32bit system give much more pleasure than the thought of what it would be like if it only ran on the wonderful 64bit system

Canon has just released v.2.56 of their driver, which includes a 64-bit .deb: http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search ... g_os=Linux

The readme says it has been tested on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04.

Can anyone test?
