I am still fighting with my pixma IP1500 on my amd64 box.

The weird stuff is that when I use bjfilterpixmaip1500 directlty, my printer is working !!

Code: Select all

 bjfilterpixmaip1500 --grayscale -p a4 --fit toto.png  > /dev/usb/lp0

I tried to use turboprint 1.96-r3, same result, the test page is not printed

Still no ideas ?

Forget my previous post :

I had a gnutls lib problem which was detailed in the cups error_log file with detailed log.

Code: Select all

D [26/Aug/2008:22:10:29 +0200] [Job 127] /usr/bin/gs: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.13: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Now the test page is working !

Thanks.

Hello,

I also struggeled the last days to install my Canon IP4500 on my 64bit Gentoo.

I tried the Turboprint-drivers, but they cost money. I also tried the 32-bit-chroot-environment and other wiki-pages and hints.

And today I found out a very simple and easy solution.

Gutenprint brings support for the Canon Pixma IP4500.

In Portage tree is version 5.1.4 as stable. With this version I just got empty paper out of my printer.

Then I unmasked 5.1.7 in portage tree and with that version my IP4500 works pretty well.

So, I just did the following :

Code: Select all

# nano "net-print/gutenprint ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# emerge -v gutenprint

And then I could create the printer in cups and selected the "Canon Pixma IP4500 - CUPS+Gutenprint 5.1.7" driver.
And it worked without any problems within 5 minutes.

I hope that information helps someone

Bye
Thorsten

I am happy to say that the Canon MP520 works with a ebuild driver.
I installed Sabayon a week ago and tried to get my CanonMp520 to work with it. I run different linux OS (Ubuntu,slackware,mandriva,debian,slax,fedora,suse,linuxmint) on a Dell Dimension 520 desktop and they all work well with the printer.
I tried the canon provided drivers for this printer (they come in .deb and .rpm packages) but I couldn't get it to work. I surely must have made several mistakes but I don't know what. The printer just produced a blank page.
So I went for the ebuild cnijfilter-2.80 since the canon drivers are also cnijfilter-common-2.80 and cnijfilter-mp520series-2.80.
After a few mistakes(first time on sabayon and gentoo!) I got it right. I went to the cups browser and the new driver was there. Just configured it and it printed a nice test page. Tested it further on files and on the web,great job. The resolution is 600dpi though and I don't know if that can be changed and how. But it is printing with the Ebuild driver. I don't know if somebody tested the mp520 with it already but it works,I tell you.

Have a look on the latest release -> cnijfilter-3.00 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=258244

It works fine and support the following printer:

IP1900
IP2200
IP3600
IP4200
IP4600

Thanks for the info. I see the MP520 is not mentioned so I think I wait a while since I have a working system now and I don't want to give it up trying something else that isn't sure to work with my printer. I remember trying "official" drivers for MP540 and they didn't work for my MP520.

I just got the scanner end of my CanonPixma MP520 working with the sane-pixma-0.14.4.ebuild. Works as standalone and in Gimp after a xsane upgrade. A whole range of resolutions available for scanning. Printing is 600DPI.
Good job!

How about the 2.90 driver (http://software.canon-europe.com/softwa ... asp?model=)? I've just bought this (PIXMA iP100) printer. It works fine under Windows. How about Gentoo? I'll appreciate any help with the ebuild .

Finally got Canon Pix IP1880 (IP1800 series) to run on AMD64 with Gentoo.

Steps 1 to 11 cover installation of drivers with Gentoo AMD64.
Steps 12 to 13 cover how to share this printer with Windows XP clients.
Step 14 cover how to share this printer with Max OS X clients.

Here is what I did:

1) Get "cnjifilter-2.70-r1.ebuild" from

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177970

2) Put the ebuild under

Code: Select all

/usr/local/portage/net-print/cnijfilter

3) Run

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/portage/net-print/cnijfilter
ebuild cnijfilter-2.70-r1.ebuild digest

Steps 4 to 6 are for AMD64 only.

4) amd64 needs to have emul-linux-x86-bjdeps-0.1-r2.ebuild emulation overlay too:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/129352
Put this under /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-bjdeps
cd /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-bjdeps

5) get all dependence files required for emul-linux-x86-bjdeps from
http://bugs.gentoo.org/129352
The files needed are:

Code: Select all

popt-1.12-scrub-lame-gettextpath
popt-1.7-nls.patch
popt-1.7-missing-tests.patch

Put these three files under the directory:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/portage/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-bjdeps/files

6) Run

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-bjdeps
ebuild emul-linux-x86-bjdeps-0.1-r2.ebuild digest

7) Unmask emul-linux-x86-bjdeps

Code: Select all

echo "app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-bjdeps ~amd64" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

8 ) Set ip1800 as my use for cnijfilter

Code: Select all

echo "net-print/cnijfilter ip1800" >> /etc/portage/package.use

9) emerge cnijfilter

Code: Select all

emerge -auvD cnijfilter

This should pull in emul-linux-x86-bjdeps if you are on amd64.

10) This was where I got stuck. I went to cups (http://localhost:631) and couldn't find my printer. lsusb listed fine. Finally the post below by salamandrix really helped me. [Thanks salamandrix!]

I have a similar problem with a canon pixma ip4200 and it solve now.

Apparently it's a bad user and group for printer (via udev).
Before :
ls -l /dev/usb/
crw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 180, 0 oct 28 2007 lp0
With :
chown lp:plugdev /dev/usb/lp0
The problem solved and printer printing .

Also, i add a rule device in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules :
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="10a2", MODE:="0660", OWNER:="lp", GROUP:="plugdev"
For idVendor and idProduct, you can use lsub, for example in my home :
lsusb
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 04a9:10a2 Canon, Inc.
I hope that this solve your problem.

Code: Select all

chown lp:plugdev /dev/usb/lp0

Added a rule device in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules :

Code: Select all

BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="10c2", MODE:="0660", OWNER:="lp", GROUP:="plugdev"

11) Restart cups

Code: Select all

cd /etc/init.d
./cupsd restart

Step 12 to 13 are to share this IP1880 with Windows using CUPS only (No Samba)

12) To share the cups ip1880 printer with Windows Client:
At /etc/cups/cups.conf

Somewhere around:

Code: Select all

Allow 127.0.0.1
Allow 192.168.0.*
Order allow, deny

Restart cups

Code: Select all

cd /etc/init.d
./cupsd restart

Now go to http://localhost:631 and Add printer
You should see Canon 1800 series at USB.

When asked for Name of the Printer, use the following:

Code: Select all

Canon_IP1880

You can put in anything you want for "Location"

13) At windows machine:
Control Panel --> Printer --> Add Printer --> Connect to Network Printer

Code: Select all

http://{server}:631/printers/{printer_name}

Where {server} is the hostname of your gentoo box where Canon IP1880 is connected.
{printer_name} can be found by:

Code: Select all

http://{server}:631/printers

Under "Description:"
_Not_ by URI (usb://Canon/iP1800%20series)

If you followed step 12, it would be Canon_IP1880

14) To share this printer with Mac OS X:

At OS X, open a Terminal. Run:

Code: Select all

sudo lpadmin -p Canon_IP1880 -v ipp://{server}:631/printers/Canon_IP1880

Now open "System Preferences" at Menubar Apple --> Print and Fax

You should be able to see that printer.

This is it!

You do NOT need smb to share your printer on gentoo with windows machine.

Hope this helps everybody else who uses Canon Pixma series, especially 1800 series.

-William

I did a bit of digging around (not that I really know what I'm doing

So it sounds as if the popt is missing this file config.rpath, does anyone know what this file is and what it should contain?

EDIT: I managed to fix it by getting a different version (the correct one

) of bjdeps. Got my printer working via wifi beautifully now, thanks

Hi, I have Canon Pixma mp620 printer, i've tried ebuilds bjfilter-2.50, cnijfilter-2.70, cnijfilter-2.80 and cnijfilter-3.00 and the printer doesn't work. Don't know what should I do next :/. After succesfull emerge and adding the printer when i try to print test page i get "printed" and nothing more, no printed paper show up

Heimfrost · Post by **Heimfrost** » Fri Oct 02, 2009 10:09 am

I have an x86_64 Gentoo and I installed the cnijfilter-3.00 ebuild in addition with bjdeps-0.1-r2.
After that I could select the driver within cups but nothing happened when I printed a test site.
I looked at /usr/lib and the ebuild created a symbolic link bjlib, which is pointed to /usr/lib/cnijlib.
But that dir doesn't exist on my x86_64, because the cnijlib is at /usr/lib32.
So I went to /usr/lib32 and made a new link in that dir "ln -s /usr/lib32/cnijlib bjlib". Then I made chmod 777 with the link and had success in printing now.
Didn't know if that helps others. I have emerged the ebuild with "mp630" Flag for my Canon MP630 printer.

gerardo · Post by **gerardo** » Fri Feb 19, 2010 10:32 am

I can't seem to get my printer Canon Pixma MP160 back working.
It did work at the time.
In cups I am able to find the printer (as Canon PIXMA MP160 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.4) and add it as a default printer.
But when I want to print something, cups reports that the job is completed but with message "Unable to send print file to printer: Broken pipe"

I have reinstalled the net-print/cnijfilter-2.70 and emul-linux-x86-bjdeps but no success...
I even tried the net-print/cnijfilter-3.00

I have:
net-print/gutenprint-5.2.4 (cups foomaticdb gimp gtk ppds readline)
net-print/cups-1.4.2-r1 (X dbus java jpeg linguas_nl pam perl png python ssl tiff)

Any clues?

Dont Panic · Post by **Dont Panic** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 3:29 pm

I've been using net-print/cnijfilter-2.70 from Gentoo's Bugzilla (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130645) for a while now with great results.

Now that dev-libs/libxml has been dropped from the portage tree, what solutions are people using for maintaining the servicetools capability?

enceladus · Post by **enceladus** » Sun Oct 17, 2010 2:34 am

I have a Canon PIXMA MP560 set up on wireless and an AMD64 box using cnijfilter-3.20-r3.

This printer needs bjnp support. I found it in an overlay using the portage overlay search. I have cups-bjnp-0.5.4. Without this nothing I tried got gentoo to see this printer while the ubuntu forums were full of "this printer just works!" With bjnp support it does just work.

I haven't tried scanning.

Hi i also got a Canon PIXMA MP560 which overlay did you use? I tried zugaina overlay but it did not build..
Regards // Jallee

Jallee · Post by **Jallee** » Wed Oct 27, 2010 10:50 pm

The overlay was dev-zero.. This is how i got the Canon PIXMA MP560 to work over the wifi network.

Used the Steps 1 to 11 guide from wklam, Many thanks.

But changed the step1.) to Get the "cnijfilter-3.20-r3.ebuild" from
https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=233407

Changed the step 3.) to run

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/portage/net-print/cnijfilter
ebuild cnijfilter-3.20-r3.ebuild digest

Changed the step 8.) to set MP560 as my use for cnijfilter.

Code: Select all

echo "net-print/cnijfilter mp560" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Fixed the local overlay

Code: Select all

echo "PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage/"" >> /etc/make.conf

Changed step 10.) because i do not use the USB interface.

Step 12.) Installed cups-bjnp-1.0 from dev-zero overlay, Tanks to enceladus.

Code: Select all

layman -a dev-zero
emerge -av net-print/cups-bjnp

Then i only configured Cups and used the ppd file from canon.
http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010756.asp

Chose the "Linux Source file for Print Drivers" download it and un tar it.

Code: Select all

tar xvf IJ_Linux_Printer_Driver_Source_320.tar
tar xvf cnijfilter-source-3.20-1.tar.gz

and under "cnijfilter-source-3.20-1/ppd" is the ppd files..
Regards // Jalle

--Edit--
Changed PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/" to PORTDIR_OVERLAY="${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage/"
--Edit-2--
Changed cups-bjnp-0.5.5 to cups-bjnp-1.0.

Any update/help for cnijfilter-source-3.30-1 and MX series ?

Heimfrost · Post by **Heimfrost** » Sat Dec 18, 2010 11:40 am

I just want to say my Pixma MP630 (connected via usb cable) with installed cnijfilter-3.00.2 works fine with cups 1.4.5 on amd64.
But you have to disable the "usb" useflag for cups.
If I enable it, cups 1.4* isn't able to print here.
Have lost a lot of time to figure this out, so maybe this helps somebody.
My config:

Code: Select all

USE="X acl dbus gnutls jpeg ldap pam perl png python threads tif"

I've got trouble making cups work for my Canon iP1900
on gentoo amd64

What's set up:
- cups-1.4.6
- cnijfilter-3.00.2 (zugaina overlay)

USB support is ehci_hcd and it's loaded. The problem is when I try to print a page (even a test page) CUPS says print-job completed, but actually no page printed.

I have archlinux 64bit on the same machine, with cups 1.4.6 and canon-cups package from AUR:

Code: Select all

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28122

that one works. I tried to find the difference, but it turns out both fetching the same source, and actually resulted in the same configuration, the only one I found different was sysadmin group in gentoo and arch, but that doesn't matter I think. Even I found /etc/cups/printer.conf.O was the same on both system.

Please help

I'm using SAMBA to print on a PIXMA MP510 connected to a Windows Vista PC on my home network. I haven't tried to use the MP510 scanner via the network but the printer works well with the cnijfilter-2.70-r1 driver package that I obtained from the Gentoo Bugzilla and installed in a local overlay.

I also have a Canon MP560 (delivered today!), connected directly via USB to my laptop. Both the printer and scanner work well. I edited the cnijfilter-3.20-r3 ebuild (also obtained from the Gentoo Bugzilla), to change the slot to 3 so that I could have both cnijfilter-2.70-r1 and cnijfilter-3.20-r3 installed simultaneously in my local overlay.

Below are the printing and scanning packages installed on my main laptop.

Hello All.

I've x86 with cnijfilter-3.20-r3 and all works well excluding cngpij. I need to clear printing head on mp250 printer, but I can't - after run cngpij just stuck and nothing happens.

I've googled some manual about this tool, but nothing clear found. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello, I have the same printer and just got printing and scanning working yesterday but with "cnijfilter-3.20-r1" from an overlay instead. After reading your message I was curious and checked and I do not have that functionality either despite building the servicetools.

I notice they have a newer version (3.40) out so you may wish to give it a shot.
