Unable to send data to printer. - Canon LBP1120 LM19.2

[steveinparis]

Hello, I am desperatly trying to use a Canon printer LBP1120 with LM 19.2 64 bits cinnamon
I am turning in circle for days with no progress. I can install the printer, ask from a printing in any application , but it doesn't print. ( the printer is OK, i was able to print a test page from the printer itself)
I have uploaded all the recent CUPS drivers as indicated in other posts. uninstall and re-install the printer many times, updated all packets, updated LM, no progress
And still the same errors message Unable to send data to printer.

I have set the CUPS log to debug and saved the last events,attached are the logs as well as the system info.
The error is at E [19/Mar/2020:15:29:00 +0100]
Any idea of what is wrong ?

What tells a command

Code: Select all

Have you tried Canon's driver?

Hello kukamuumuka

thank you very much for your help. Really useful as I don't speak Linux
IS it better with this as a return to lpstat -a -c -d -o -l -p -t ?

Hello again,

I followed the steps you described in your post.
The printer is indeed registered

printers.png (7.28 KiB) Viewed 1655 times

but printing a test page return an error - CCP sned_data error, exit

It is a different error than the one I had when I registered the printer with the UI ( it was "Unable to send data to printer." ) instead of command lines. But the problem remains, nothing gets print. ( And as all of us in Europe, I am stuck at home trying to make printout to be a home teacher to my children)

Has anyone an idea of the issue ?

Has anyone an idea of the issue ?

It seems that old printers which have worked in Mint 18, does not work in Mint 19, so the solution is to install Mint 18 into VirtualBox or hard drive. I have the same issue with Canon LPB- 810 with Mint 19.

Maybe port localhost:59787 is not workable, so try port localhost:59687
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Canon_CAPT

Code: Select all

sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP1120.try2 -m CNCUPSLBP1120CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E
sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP1120.try2 -o /dev/usb/lp0

Thank you kuka for your suggestions,
I made a bootable key with LM18 ( for testing purpose, I will install it if it works) , and installed the printers with the 2 possible ports
unfortunately still no luck

the error remains the same. Unlike you, the error message is real, the print job is stuck in the queue and is aborted after some time

[kukamuumuka]

Take power off and on from the printer and test to print then.

Printer´s ID string may not be /dev/usb/lp0
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev/usb/lp* /dev/bus/usb/*/*

Determine the printer's device ID strings:
$ sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0
$ sudo usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp1

[kukamuumuka]

I made a test-PPD file, which is printing empty page (just for testing that printer is alive).

I noticed that in Mint 19 had no /usr/bin/capt file, which caused nonfuntional working with Canon LBP-810. I suppose that in your computer has the same problem.

Check if the capt file is exist

Code: Select all

sudo find / -name "capt"

If there has no the file, install the file, so the printer should work.

Hi, any success since ?
What about LM 20 ?

[josefg]

Yes, what about LM 20?
I am having problems with a Canon LBP7210C, which works well in LM 18, but which I haven't been able to get to work neither in LM 19 or 20 so far...
I suspect that the core issue us the same for all these Canon laser printers. Would be great if we could find a solution...

[josefg]

I got the Canon i-SENSYS LBP7210Cdn to work on Linux Mint 20.
In case the procedure is similar for the LBP1120, you might want to have a look at the end of this thread:
