    Question Can't print in colour via Canon laser printer

    I have access to a Canon iR C5870U printer. This is a full-colour laser printer and previously I have had to move files on to a Windows machine for printing. Today I got Lucid connected and printing. Great!

    One problem though - I can't get colour to work.

    I have tried the "recommended" Foomatic Postscript driver as well as "hpijs-pcl5c" (which claims it does colour). Openprinting claims the printer works perfectly. I have tried connecting via Samba through a Windows server, directly to the printer, downloading the PPD from openprinting. I have gone into "Printer Options" and set "Printout mode" and "Resolution Quality" to try and get colour, nothing.

    Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get colour printing to work?

    Thanks - I now have an intermediate "Raw" queue, but still no colour.
