Printing Bug - multiple copies treated as single file in Mint

[otlichnik73]

Hi there! I am just loving Linux after switching a few months ago, but one area I am finding quite challenging is printing...
Basically: I am suspecting that when I print multiple copies of the same document (I print a lot of PDFs from Xreader) it treats multiple copies as a single file. I think so, because:
1. it takes a very long time to process (say today it took 10 minutes before it started printing 16 copies of 16MB file double-sided full colour 100 pages each)
2. it does not offset each copy on the output tray.
This is not a "huge" issue, but can be a bit inconvenient and... I just don't like living with bugs...
I found this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...e/+bug/1025839
but can't quite follow the discussion - was the issue resolved?
More details: using Mint 18.3; the printer is a network printer Cannon IR Advance C5235

I am wondering if you have a printer driver installed; Canon supply the UFR driver; updated 8th Feb last month;

http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/cont ... 24010.html

if you click to download and save linux-UFRII-drv-v350-uken.tar.gz

commands to install are

cd Downloads
tar -zxvf linux-UFRII-drv-v350-uken.tar.gz
cd linux-UFRII-drv-v350-uken
sudo ./install.sh

watch the terminal and help point it to the correct address for the printer

Thanks - yes, I installed the driver originally; but since I am a complete newbie - maybe I got something wrong in the process
Is athere a way to check that the driver is doing its job properly?

[pdc_2]

right-click on the icon for the printer in the PRINTERS folder;

look in PROPERTIES: and look at what MAKE & MODEL says: perhaps you paste here what you copy from there ?

you can also check what drivers are installed with

Code: Select all

dpkg -l cndrvcups*

pasted into a terminal; again you could paste back what you get; I see you have started another thread on this topic in the Printers section
