    Re: Trouble installing Canon LBP 3100 Printer

    Thanks for your help.

    • I installed the 2.56 drivers one by one in correct order
    • I used the command
      Code:
      sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP7200Cdn -m CNCUPSLBP7200CCAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E
      , as I have a LBP7200Cdn
    • 'sudo dpkg -l | grep Canon' gives two packages:
      Code:
      ii  cndrvcups-capt                                              2.56-1                                              Canon CAPT Printer Driver for Linux
      ii  cndrvcups-common                                            2.56-1                                              Canon Printer Driver Common Modules Ver.2.56
    • 'sudo captstatusui -P LBP7200Cdn' : won't start, on the command line it just shows an empty row and no screen comes up. Only option to exit is ctrl-c.
    • Code:
      $ sudo service ccpd status
      /usr/sbin/ccpd: 2446 1437
    • Printing a test page from 'Printing' dialog does nothing.
    • Removing or reinstalling the package 's-esp_8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.5_all.deb' does not make a difference


    Do you have any clue what's happening here? I don't know if printing in 12.04 is different in Linux Mint 13 (Mint 13 is built upon 12.04).

    Re: Trouble installing Canon LBP 3100 Printer

    I wonder how your printer is connected

    what does

    /usr/sbin/lpinfo -v
    give you?

    eg for my LBP3100 I get (amongst other things........)
    direct usb://Canon/LBP3100/LBP3108/LBP3150?serial=0000B18B4GVx

    Re: Trouble installing Canon LBP 3100 Printer

    Question 1:
    has the printer ever worked using the current install

    .........because posts such as this

    http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/inde...t-1004407.html

    suggest that the command

    sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart
    can sometimes get things going

    __________________________________________________ __________________________________________

    by default, the system will assume you only have one printer; and it will be attached by usb to lp0;

    Question 2
    do you have more than one printer connected to the computer?

    - 'sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart' doesn't make a difference, tried that many times.
    - It is the only printer connected. Before this one, I had a Canon Ip4x00, but they never were connected together.

    So, those answers do not clarify things, I guess. Do you have other ideas? Do other people here get there LBP-printer working on 64-bit?

    Re: Trouble installing Canon LBP 3100 Printer

    the devil is in the detail;

    I cannot quote chapter and verse of folks who get the 64bit running; I have an LBP running on 32bit; I did another install on an older Mint and it worked fine too

    one can only suggest going over the ground again: remove existing install

    (sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -x LBP7200C) ............removes from the ccpd daemon.

    and

    (sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -x LBP7200C) .................deletes the printer's spooler registration.

    ............I quote LBP7200C as that is what your previous printout gave ......

    for a fresh install;
    the 64bit preliminary installs;
    the CAPT driver install;
    register with CUPS;
    register the ccpd daemon;
    restart the ccpd;
    do a test print

    Thanks for your help! It is really appreciated.

    I guess this is the 64-bit problem - 32-bit worked fine before where 64-bit failed. So I hope the guy who posted on askubuntu can give some hints about his setup and steps he took to make his printer work.

    Broken in 13.10

    Unfortunately, this appears to be broken in 13.10 Saucy Salamander. The ia32-libs package depends on lib32asound2 which has been discontinued in 13.10. I installed the package with a manual override which did not help, and is generally not advisible as it messes up the package cache. Any suggestions? The best solution would probably be if Canon provided a proper driver...

    hi dheinson,
    have you tried canon capt driver version 2.6? They got 64-bit deb packages. But it did not work for me (12.04 64bit). Printer prints nothing

    Of course. Those packages depend on 32-bit-libraries that are no longer included in 13.10 and it will break things to force-install the versions from older ubuntu releases.

    Follow this guide, it is very thorough and worked for me: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/in...lote_canon_lbp
    You can use Google translator if you do not speak French. Also one thing the guide does not mention is that sometimes it is necessary to turn the printer off and on after starting the ccp daemon to make things work.

    Good luck.
