Linux Mint Forums

Hi there Bjorn up there in Trondheim; sorry to hear of your issues; it must be very frustrating; very irritating; Mint comes from Ubuntu; Ubuntu is noted for fast paced development; they had several major changes of things in the last couple of years; lots of changes; they wanted to have a unitary O...

so this seems curious; 2 separate installs of Mint 19; on the first one, the 244 did not work; on the second install, it did;

and both were the most recent 3.6 UFR driver; were both 64bit installs, of the same DE? .. ie mate or cinnamon?

you are selecting a 1320 driver; underneath that is a 1320n, and you say that is what your machine is: what selection do you get if you choose that please ? I would go for the simplest hpcups variant; ie 3.17.10 or whatever it is that should mean hplip ..... many of the others are open-source drivers;

so as I understand it; to be able to use a printer in linux; in general one needs to: 1) install the drivers 2) register the printer with lpadmin ........ so it knows which ppd file to use when you say "Use the BROWN printer" ... it has already learnt and says to itself; ..... ah, at the beginning, ...

so I understood this device was the MFC-J 480 DW .. because that is the title of your first post; and 480 appears in that so the command I suggested was sudo bash linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1 MFC-J480DW .. as you said your device was the 480DW but you seem to have changed that; (I always recomm...

thanks; sorry you have moved on; for any Mint members reading this; this J480DW is listed as being airprint-compatible (AC); that AC feature came with Ubuntu 17.04 so only joined Mint with this Mint 19 release; so the theory was: AC would mean Mint would auto-configure ....... so no need; (one under...

so on our Mint 18 system; if I take any one of the icons; eg an Epson one; and right-click on it; go to PROPERTIES: then select MAKE & MODEL ...... and widen the window so I can read it all ..... and select CHANGE .. then it offers me 3 options and I choose the top one ....... then it offers me a li...

well done; we all learn from folks like you who have all the hardware; and can tell us what happens; enjoy

Hi pcpunk so to use the installer tool, you copy each command below ; paste it into the terminal; hit the ENTER key; and on to the next line (assuming you have already downloaded it, and it is in your Downloads directory, and it is linux-brprinter-installer-2.2.1-1.gz ) cd Downloads gunzip linux-brp...

I think you need to file this as a bug report to Mint; that should be accepted;

you could also refer it to Ubuntu as a bug report; as Mint comes from Ubuntu; but they may feel a specific tweak of Mint is the problem ............

sometimes I really need to spell stuff out; so it is clear if I am understanding things correctly; so my assumption is the Canon in connected to a CentOS computer; as it sees the Canon as direct cnusb:/dev/usb/lp0 and it also reports it as direct usb://Canon/D530/D560?serial=1137H3600986&interface=1...

Is there anything of assistance in this Ubuntu wiki?

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netwo ... WithUbuntu

what does give please?

So you have a Mint machine? which version ........ the driver for the D530 is the UFR driver? version 3.6? (released Aug 2018?)

so even though you have tried to invoke HPLIP ....... the system is selecting an open-source driver HP LaserJet 1320 Foomatic/pxlmono (recommended) ...... so I can only suggest you delete that icon; do hp-setup and if I understand HP correctly, that should invoke hplip; <<<<< eg our Deskjet shows HP...

thanks; so you just have one icon in the PRINTERS folder for the 244? using the install script; should mean it recognises it needs debian packages; that the system is 64bit; and installs the appropriate; and registers the printer Canon in the users guide suggest cnsetuputil from the terminal; to ope...

If you go to the PRINTERS folder; there is only one icon now for the 1320?

If you right-click on that; look in PROPERTIES; then MAKE & MODEL: can you copy what is there; and paste it back here please ..

so Canon issued that 3.6 driver less than a month ago; we have had folks report various printing issues with Mint 19; where before their machines were fine on Mint 18; sounds like you are very familiar with what to do and you have tried the options; (I see mention of 32bit: is that the system you ru...

well done; sadly, this often seems to be the solution: start afresh and all is good the second time

I would suggest going to the PRINTERS folder; (inside the ADMINISTRATION folder?)

delete any icons for the 1320;

then do again and see if it does any better this time ......

I wonder: if you have an icon for this Konica now; in your PRINTERS folder; right-click on it; select PROPERTIES: look for MAKE & MODEL; select CHANGE: now, do you see a provide ppd option? Will it allow you to move forward there? Can you point it to the ppd file you need? (Please see attached scree...
