Canon LBP6000 printer in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 not working

[sysone]

I imagine the 6000 is B&W also

Yes it is B&W and not printing in Ubuntu (prints fine in Windows)

At some point
:~$ captstatusui -P LBP6000-LBP6018
brought up the 'StatusMonitor' with Message: -power saving
another try gave : 'ready to print' but it did not print
another try :'Communication error:
'Check the following:
- Is the printer turned on?
- Is the cable properly connected? '

After Restart and
:~$ captstatusui -P LBP6000-LBP6018
'StatusMonitor' no longer shows (cursor keeps blinking in terminal like forever)

Rigt-click on Printer icon shows either
Printer State : idle
or Printer State : Processing

And just some outputs from what I tried to read (without really understanding)

:~$ lsmod | grep usblp
usblp 17885 0

:~$ ls -l /var/ccpd
total 0
prw-r--r-- 1 lp lp 0 Nov 25 07:11 fifo0

:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP6000-LBP6018 -o /dev/usb/lp0
CUPS_ConfigPath = /etc/cups/
LOG Path = None
UI Port = 59787

Thanks again

I don't know where the problem(s) lie with your printer

I thought to compare the various results you give

for me:

ls -l /var/ccpd
total 0
prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 3 10:15 fifo0

for you:

ls -l /var/ccpd
total 0
prw-r--r-- 1 lp lp 0 Nov 25 07:11 fifo0

I note root owns my LBP: lbp seems to own yours............

captstatusui -P LBP3100 gives me: ready to print
