 Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2009 1:19 pm Post subject: [solved] Need help for usb printer. Device URI? |
 |
|
What am I suppposed to provide for "Device URI for {printer_name}" for usb printers in cups config? I tried Canon mp630, Panasonic DP-8016P and HP LaserJet 1020 printers with no luck. Currently I have only Canon mp630.
Actually cups sees the printers perfectly like these after I clicked "Find New Printers":
Available Printers
| Code: |
Add this printer: Panasonic DP-8016P (Panasonic DP-8016P USB #1)
|
Add New Printer:
| Code: |
Name:Panasonic_DP-8016P_USB_1
Location:Local Printer
Description:Panasonic DP-8016P
|
Device for {printer_name}:
| Code: |
Panasonic DP-8016P USB #1 (Panasonic DP-8016P)
|
Model/Driver:
| Code: |
Panasonic DP-8016P Foomatic/plxmono (en)
|
Now this is where I stucked;
Device URI for {printer_name}
| Code: |
Device URI:{device_uri}
Examples:
http://hostname:631/ipp/
http://hostname:631/ipp/port1
ipp://hostname/ipp/
ipp://hostname/ipp/port1
lpd://hostname/queue
socket://hostname
socket://hostname:9100
See "Network Printers" for the correct URI to use with your printer.
|
How can I find "Device URI"?. I thought it was not needed for usb printers.
I use ~amd64 arch and net-print/cups-1.3.11 and net-print/cnijfilter-3.00 is here.
EDIT: Now I have Canon MP630 and the problem remain the same. Cups still asks for "Device URI for {printer_name}".
Since I have never managed a printer for linux and gentoo before, There must be something that I forget. Printing must not be that hard in linux, is it?
EDIT2:Problem solved with the new cups-1.4.8-r22.

My cups says that my printer has URI usb://Samsung/ML-2010 so you can try usb://Panasonic/DP-8016P or usb://Panasonic/DP-8016 . I think you shouldn't enter printers URI and you have some other problem so if this doesn't work you can try to
| Code: | | mv /etc/cups/ppd/* /some/where/safe |
or
| Code: | mv /etc/cups/* /some/where/safe
emerge cups

Ahenobarbi, thanks for answering. I'll try your suggestions tomorrow at work. Booting vista for just printing is no fun. I was about to give up. Now I have somethings to try.

I tried all, and no progress. It is in a loop that constantly asks for model (Make/Manufacturer for {printer_name}) and device_uri for it. Entering an device_uri returns to asking model again. Trying a custom ppd (Panasonic-DP-8016P-pxlmono.ppd) from cups page. Same loop.

hi,
I saw the link in your sig. once, I spent a long time trying to figure out what the URI for my usb printer was, until i finally realized I didn't have usb printer driver in my kernel. after building and modprobing lp, the problem was solved.

Hi erik258, Thanks. Now I have a canon mp630 printer, and the device_uri loop problem remains. I tried "modprobe usblp" nothing changed. I thought the problem was panasonic printer specific, but not likely. With HP LaserJet 1020 and canon mp 630 the problem remains the same.
The following devices do exist:
| Code: |
/dev/usblp0
/dev/usb/lp0

Appears that the printer is not getting detected.
Did you compile your kernel with USB printer support?

Oh! I forgot to update this thread. Thanks for your interest. Actually, I compiled the kernel with usb printer support and printer works with cups-1.3. But it does not work with cups-1.4.
M printer canon mp630 needs a driver that I luckily found an ebuild in b.g.o called net-print/cnijfilter-.3.00
The problem is the ebuild provider uses cups-1.3 and doesn't need to upgrade cups-1.4. Here is the comment from the ebuild provider from b.g.o:
| Quote: |
Currently I'm using version 1.3.11-r1. There is no reason for an upgrade for
me.
Do you need to use cups 1.4?
|
I can't blame him. Anyway, I am stucked with cups-1.3, since the ebuild is not working for the new cups.
It seems I have to wait for a buddy with enough knowledge to update the ebuild. I am not holding my breathe, anymore.
Although canon seems to provide linux support, it is poor. A canon printer again? Not likely!
