[SOLVED - mostly] Konica Minolta Bizhub C552 No Color

Post by SomeDudeInAZ »

Hi Folks,

I'm installing this printer on LM 19.2

I downloaded the ppd files from KM, followed their instructions to install the ppd file, added the printer using the "system-config-printer" utility on the menu and viola I can print...

Except...No Color. :(

And while that is fantastic as a default, part of having a printer like that is the color option.

The printer/copier works fine from the control panel and from windows. So it's obviously a setting somewhere...

I'm attaching the "troubleshoot output" from the "system-config-printer" utility.

After about 4 hours of playing with this (install/uninstall/tweak/etc) I'm out of ideas.

Anyone else?

Thanks in advance

had to put it in a "code" box - the text file is 53KB - sorry

Selecting from your avahi-browse out and rearranging to make in more understandable:
= eno1 IPv4 KONICA MINOLTA C652 Series @ Soulcatcher Internet Printer local
hostname = [Soulcatcher.local]
address = [10.0.1.14]
port = [631]
txt = ["printer-type=0x8030CE"
"printer-state=3"
"Collate=T"
"Copies=T"
"Color=T"
"TLS=1.2"
"UUID=a7f38cce-9cd1-33b2-5308-570b067f76c0"
"URF=DM3"
"pdl=application/octet-stream,application/pdf,application/postscript,image/jpeg,image/png,image/pwg-raster,image/urf"
"product=(KONICA MINOLTA 652/602)"
"priority=0"
"adminurl=https://Soulcatcher.local.:631/printers ... 652-Series"
"ty=KONICA MINOLTA 652/602SeriesPS(P) BEU v1.5"
"rp=printers/KONICA-MINOLTA-C652-Series"
"qtotal=1"
"txtvers=1"]
txt = tells you what the printer is capable of doing. URF=DM3 tells you this is an AirPrint printer. The Mint printing system can handle that. I suggest you execute the command

Code: Select all

lpadmin -p c652  -v ipp://Soulcatcher.local/printers/KONICA-MINOLTA-C652-Series -E -m everywhere
and test printing with

Code: Select all

lp -d c652 /etc/nsswitch.conf
Success?

The Printers App has a driverless option that should recognise the AirPrint capability and that does (more or less) what I have advised. Did you not try it?

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately color is still not working.

Your commands added a new printer, and when I tried printing still no color. I just get grayscale.

I'm not really sure what you mean by "driverless". I've seen the term before but that just means (to me) that the drivers are already built in. I'll try a new mint install to another partition and see if mint recognizes the printer out of the box. I doubt it will, but you never know.

Oh!. The printer text record declares Color=T. A possible bug in its IPP implementation?

You were asked about whether you had used the driverless option in the Printers App, not what your understanding of the word "driverless" is.

Thanks.

AFAICT, there is no keyword relating to a choice of Auto Color, Full Color or Gray Scale. This would mean that these options would be unavailable in a print dialog, Your output is a consequence of querying the printer directly to get its capabilites and form a PPD. I would be tempted to submit a bug report:

https://github.com/apple/cups/issues

The PPD for the queue you set up originally does have
SelectColor/Select Color: *Auto Color Grayscale
but color output still does not seem possible. I am perplexed about this, as I am sure you are.

From the avahi-browse output
pdl=application/octet-stream,application/pdf,application/postscript,image/jpeg,image/png,image/pwg-raster,image/urf
so the printer should process a PDF sent to it directly:

Code: Select all

lp -d <either_print_queue_name> -o raw <a_PDF_with_color>
(Without the angle brackets).

There is color in the printed output?

Re: Konica Minolta Bizhub C552 No Color

Post by brian_p »

Both the c652 queue and the one you set up with Konica's PostScript PDD fail to print in colour. The reasons are likely to be different for each queue. For the c652 queue we would need attrs.txt from the command

Code: Select all

ipptool -tv ipp://Soulcatcher.local/printers/KONICA-MINOLTA-C652-Series get-printer-attributes.test > attrs.txt
to debug the issue on this queue.

The PostScript PPD has a section for SelectColor with PostScript code in it. The code contains attributes prefixed with KM. KM is unkown to the Adobe standard (which CUPS follows). You might have noticed that two-sided printing is not offered in a print dialog. That is because the PPD has KMDuplex, which is a vendor standard. You need to contact Konica Minolta to obtain a working PPD.

Being able to print from Windows demonstrates:
  • Windows printing works with a non-standard PPD.
  • The marker supplies have not run out.

So as not to mislead users, I am backing away from this. The code for SelectColor gets applied correctly and inserted into the final PS file sent to the printer. Looking at the PS file contents could provide a clue as to the issue.

Sorry for the late reply. Life got in the way the past couple days.

Thank you for the help Brian. I appreciate it.

So just to reiterate, I need to get in touch with Konica Minolta. Will do.

Before I do, can you (or anyone else) point me in the right direction to get to "the final PS file sent to the printer"?

Thanks again.

For the sake of completeness, I did some more experimenting and got "nuthin". <sigh> Off to KM

And here's the "attrs.txt" file (again just to have as complete a doc set here as possible:

Thank you for the help Brian. I appreciate it.

So just to reiterate, I need to get in touch with Konica Minolta. Will do.
The machine you have isn't exactly a low-end consumer product. Going the extra mile should be par for the course for them.
Before I do, can you (or anyone else) point me in the right direction to get to "the final PS file sent to the printer"?
The Konica PPD I have has
*NickName: "KONICA MINOLTA C652SeriesPS(P)"
in it.

Like me, you should have a Konica PPD in etc/cups/ppd when you set up a print queue.

Now (as root):

Code: Select all

cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/<your_konica_ppd>-m printer/foo -e -o SelectColor=Color <any_file_with_colour> > out-colour.ps

and

Code: Select all

cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/<your_konica_ppd> -m printer/foo -e -o SelectColor=Grayscale <any_file_with_colour> > out-gray.ps

The two files should be identical when viewed but they carry information about whether to print in colour or not. To see the difference after both of these commands are executed:

Code: Select all

diff out-colour.ps out-gray.ps
Getting your output would be appreciated.

The point about your machine is that it is a PS and PDF device. Either file type sent directly sent to it should just print correctly. I gave you advice about a PDF file, but you did not respond.

Sorry about that Brian. I did try that (this morning) after I saw that you had stepped away. That was a part of what I meant about "experimenting".

I also changed a whole bunch of settings on the printer (just in case). Also, the problem existed in Linux Mint mate, xfce, lmde, and peppermint. I will try your other suggestions this afternoon/evening when I get back to the office.

I'll post the results. Tomorrow (28 Aug) I'll have the chance to talk to KM.

OK, so here's the output...

The diff command showed no differences. For completeness I'm attaching the pdf I printed and the terminal output of the cupsfilter commands.

The actual ps files are included here as compressed files as they're too big otherwise, including to put in as code blocks.

One interesting point I noted in the terminal output was this line:
DEBUG: Switching to Poppler's pdftops instead of Ghostscript for Brother, Minolta, Konica Minolta, Dell, and Apple LaserWriter 12/640 to work around bugs in the printer's PS interpreters

Do you know of a way to force it to use ghostscript (just for grins - might as well try...)

Great. There is everything needed to follow in your footsteps.
The diff command showed no differences. For completeness I'm attaching the pdf I printed and the terminal output of the cupsfilter commands.
This is what I got for the diff command:

Code: Select all

Your two files are identical and, viewing then with the less utility, they both have

Code: Select all

 <</ProcessColorModel /DeviceGray>> setpagedevice

 << /DriverColorSelect 1 >> /KMOptions /ProcSet findresource /setKMoptions get exec
We now know that it is possibly a printing system issue - not a problem with the printer. However, the one place we may not be in step is with the PPDs we are using. A PPD compresses very well with gzip, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to send it here.
The actual ps files are included here as compressed files as they're too big otherwise, including to put in as code blocks.
I am attaching my out-colour.ps. Print it using the -o raw option I gave previously. It's printed in colour?
One interesting point I noted in the terminal output was this line:
DEBUG: Switching to Poppler's pdftops instead of Ghostscript for Brother, Minolta, Konica Minolta, Dell, and Apple LaserWriter 12/640 to work around bugs in the printer's PS interpreters

You have anticipated my next suggestion. :D Add

Code: Select all

-o pdftops-renderer=gs
to the cupsfilter command line.

Re: Konica Minolta Bizhub C552 No Color

Post by SomeDudeInAZ »

Sorry for the delay, we had a major storm yesterday evening/night (thunderbolts and lightning very very frightening kinda stuff) so I shut the system down. Turned out to be a good idea...

Anyway I'll do more after noon local time today. I wanted to be sure to update you.

But...before I shut the system down I had to log into windows for something and ran a test. The printer worked perfectly when I printed from windows using the PCL driver. When I printed the same doc using the PS driver it didn't (not all the colors came thru). Granted this was an old driver but still.

So doing some additional hunting I found on Konica's EU support site an updated set of ppd files for linux dated 20 Aug 2019 (ver 1.20).

On the US support site the latest I could get (and installed) was version 1.17 from 2018.

I'll be back later then with more info for you.

PS - I really do appreciate your help on this. If you're ever in Phoenix hit me up and I'll buy you a beer (or other beverage of your choice :wink: )

Re: [Mostly SOLVED] Konica Minolta Bizhub C552 No Color

Post by SomeDudeInAZ »

It started working and I have no idea why.

I had the printer serviced (just a cleaning and other routine "stuff") and the tech "threatened it" - we were talking replacement with a new printer...

I finally had the chance to sit at the keyboard on this today and
  • Removed all the installed printers through the GUI.
  • Installed the latest Mint updates (which included a kernel update)
  • Rebooted
  • Made sure that all the ppd files and anything else in cups was cleaned out
  • Decided to use the web based CUPS interface (localhost:631/printers/)
  • Discover Printer
  • Add PPD file (the older 1.17 US version)
  • Color (mostly) works :shock: :?:
I still don't trust it, so I'll have some additional experimenting to do.

Remaining issues to track on my end...that I know of
Libre Office won't print RED text (but red in a graphic is fine)
no duplexing

Thank you again brian. I'll start another thread with updates when I have more to report
