<SOLVED> So close, yet so far with Canon LBP6000

[jadek]

I believe I followed the instructions from Canon on installing the LBP6000 for Linux exactly (it's an html file, so I couldn't attach it).

The problem is nothing prints, not a test page, not a LibreOffice document. The attached png shows detail on what eventually shows once a document doesn't print. The key phrase may be "Cannot connect to CCPD: Connection refused." Does that make sense to anyone?

In trying to find an answer, I unplugged the printer's usb connection & re-inserted it. The computer immediately recognized a new printer (with a longer name than when I did the formal install) & created an icon in my "Printers" window, but I couldn't print anything by it, either. Some kind of communication seems to be taking place!?

I'm running LM 14, Cinnamon. Connection to the printer is via USB. At home I connect wirelessly without a problem to a Canon MG5300. Files for installing came from downloading the compressed file from Canon USA. There's no dual boot, no network setup to complicate things.

Any other info I need to provide?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Worked beautifully for me w/ latest drivers 2.60 on x64.

Thanks, ptyrider, for your reply. I had seen that post before, wondering whether it worked for the updated 2.60, so now I see that you did indeed get it to work. I'm happy for you!

Unfortunately for me, some of the language of the post, refering to scripts and I guess a certain kind of file (?), was over my head, so I wasn't sure how to proceed, and I had already given many hours to trying to get it to work. Given that, an IT friend of mine said that Brother has better Linux support than Canon, so I returned the Canon and purchased an HL-2270DW. Both the printer installed by LM14 itself as well as the one installed via the terminal (as per Brother website instructions) worked from the get-go, so I'm happy for me, too. For anyone else using the HL-2270DW, I'd recommend keeping both printer files because their properties (i.e., options) vary, and so they each have value, depending on one's need.

Nice to see people get it going, Canon and Linux really sucks sometimes, but i finally get my LBP5050 runing on LM15 64b and LMDE 64b.

Hi jadek;

the LBP6000 needs the Canon CAPT driver installed; ......... sounds like you have done that?

Question 1; are you using a 32bit system?
Question 2;

what does

sudo dpkg -l | grep Canon

give if you copy and paste the command into a terminal please?

eg........for my CAPT driver I get

ii cndrvcups-capt 2.40-1 Canon CAPT Printer Driver for Linux
ii cndrvcups-common 2.40-1 Canon Printer Driver Common Modules Ver.2.40

I will be pleased to try to help you move forward

Hi,

I just bought Canon LBP 6200d. And Now, I am trying to install the drivers for the same and connect it through the PlayOnLinux. But it doesn't detect or recognize the printer using USB, during the installation process.

I am using Linux Mint.

and using this command on Terminal: sudo dpkg -l | grep Canon
Gives me this result:

ii cndrvcups-capt 2.60-1 amd64 Canon CAPT Printer Driver for Linux
ii cndrvcups-common 2.60-1 amd64 Canon Printer Driver Common Modules Ver.2.60


I am not a very good troubleshooter for Linux. But can follow the instructions in a step wise manner.

Please help me in getting the printer working. I need it fixed asap so, that I can start my research work for my PhD Thesis.

Thanks

Ritesh

It might actually be best if you started a new thread;
