IRS Problems?
same here
I found canon drivers for various pixma printers, not for the ip2600. I guess I'll give the canon to one of my kids and buy a printer of a more linux-friendly manuf myself.

My dad just bought a new monitor at Fry's and got this Canon PIXMA iP2600 for free. He gave it to me since I need a home printer, but I cant get it to work in Ubuntu yet. I do have Ubuntu 8.04 and when I plugged in the printer and turned it on, Ubuntu immediately found the printer and installed the drivers. I was so excited (since Canon SUCKS with linux support). Ive tried printing a few things, and the printer light will flash, but nothing prints. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi,
It seems that the drivers are now available.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ghlight=ip2600
However , my problem is that I am trying to use the Canon IP2600 on an AMD64 PC.
The instructions here
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ha...Canon_LBP_2900
mention a work around for AMD64 PC's and this may work with the IP2600 drivers from the Canon web site http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/c...100119102.html
Has anyone had any success with Canon's Pixma IP2600 ( or IP2000 , IP2400, IP2500 or IP2600 for that matter ) on an AMD64 PC ?
Thank You
I have a Canon IP2500 and it seems to work, I mean I don't get any error messages.
I am on Ubuntu.
The only problem is that IT DOESN'T PRINT.
It doesn't do anything.
Any suggestions?
In my search to get my Canon iP2600 working I found a forum thread with this address http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/ (thanks to whoever it was, I cannot remember where I found it)
There I found drivers for many Canon printers. For the iP2600 you can start here http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/E...os%3d%3dLinux&
You need two files,
IJ Printer Driver Ver. 2.90 for Linux (debian Common package) (the filename is cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb)
and
IJ Printer Driver Ver. 2.90 for Linux (debian Package for iP2600 series) (the filename is cnijfilter-ip2600series_2.90-1_i386.deb)
I downloaded both files and saved them to the desktop.
Somewhere someone gave a step-by-step (again I forgot who, thanks anyway). He mentioned that the printer should be on and then the common package should be installed first (double click in the icon and the installer, gdebi, begins)
Then do the same for the ip2600 file.
Then you can go to System -> Administration -> Printng and add your printer.
Sorry for so much detail, it is probably more than the original poster needed. I am new to participating in forums and this may have been better placed elsewhere.
These drivers for the IP2600 also work on AMD64 if the debs files are converted with alien to rpms in a 32 bit environment :-
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ha...amd64%20Steps:
I got my IP2500 working following the instructions on the German Ubuntu forum:
http://www.ubuntu-forum.de/artikel/2...ckt-nicht.html
An English approach is here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=592685
DRIVERS for the CANON Pixma iP2600 are indeed located at:
http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/ as "naildeca" says.
Couple Notes, FYI:
This install took about 5 minutes... easy for a noob like me.
In addition to the two .deb files (the drivers) mentioned by "naildeca" above at this site (the drivers appear when you select the Injet, Pixma, iP2680 printer, Downloads), are the VERY USEFUL Linux install instructions (Ubuntu included) listed if you then select "Manuals":
"IJ Printer Driver Ver. 2.90 for Linux (Operation guide [Explanation of the iP2600series operation (html file)]"
With this wonderful documentation the installation went a bit easier... since there is one install step one must take before installing the .debs.
Noteworthy in these instructions, CANON recommends the following command at the Terminal before installing the .debs, to ready the system to "receive" them. I found this necessary and fundamental:
sudo aa-complain cupsd
Final Notes:
The install instructions include a step called "Register the Printer to the Spooler." A sample command is shown, so this is easy to do. However, part of the command needs two things that are peculiar to your computer after you install the .debs.
[printer_name]
[PPD_filename]
[device_URI]
Printer name and the URI may be easily found at System, Administration, Printing ... and your iP2600 PPD can be found using "locate *.ppd" at the command line.
If it helps, mine was located in /usr/share/ppd/canonip2600.ppd, and after the Registration command, in /etc/cups/ppd/canonip2600.ppd
Some applications need to be told the Printer "PPD" to allow them to understand how to talk to the iP2600, so you may want to save this location in a text file--for later recall or copy & paste.
Thanks to those who forged the path and helped me find the drivers.
Best wishes.
Thanks, this worked like a charm. After installing the two .deb's and restarting the CUPS daemon. I was abled to choose IP2600 in the list of drivers in CUPS web interface, and just add it to the system.
I bought this printer, after reading this thread, at lunch and I'm already up and running. It did only take 5 min to configure... sweet!
