I have a Canon Pixma MP600, which is not listed in your list. I tried all drivers and finally found the one that worked the best. It's the ip4200 from the cnijfilter package. It supports 2400dpi and duplex (not sure if this actually means anything, English is not my mother tongue, but it is the name of the option that allowed me to print on both sides of the page).

Thank you VERY much for your ebuilds!

hey steelskin... it would be very kind from you to test if scanning works, too. I myself am intrested in buying this printer, and it would be very nice to know if scanning works, too.

Well, with the latest version of sane, it doesn't work... yet. However, I found this on the sane-devel mailing list:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2006-November/017979.html

So, a developer made a patch (to be applied against original mp150-0.12.2) and the scanning works in color only. But, who would want to scan in black & white? Anyway, I think we should get support for the MP600 soon. BTW, after some time with the driver, it works great but printing in 2400dpi is really slow. (Woks fine in 600 and 1200dpi though)

To brot, if you dual-boot with Windows, MP600 is really a great choice, else, I think you should look for another printer less expensive without CD printer.

I am writing this from my cute (2001 dual usb) ibook, so if the driver has some issues i have always another machine which is officaly supported. But it would really be great to get it running perfectly under linux.

And by the way, thank you very much for your answer.

FOUND A SOLUTION....

I hope this would help someone... Download a foomatic driver for bjc-7100 (bjc800) from
Code:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-BJC-7100
(not direct link), make a backup of it, open it with text editor (vim)
and find this lines
Code:
*Resolution 90x90dpi/90 DPI: "<</HWResolution[90 90]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 180x180dpi/180 DPI: "<</HWResolution[180 180]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 360x360dpi/360 DPI: "<</HWResolution[360 360]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 720x720dpi/720 DPI: "<</HWResolution[720 720]>>setpagedevice"


just add this
Code:
*Resolution 600x600dpi/600 DPI: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
line and save a file...

then use CUPS manager and add your priter, but provide this .ppd (you will be asked), then set your dpi to 600 and print a test page... it should be working

Hi.

As i mentioned earlyer i wanted a MP600 for christmas, and now guess what: I got it.

There are some points where the support could be improved, but first the things that work:
    It can print at High Quality, upto 2400dpi - using the ip4200 driver
    Works with the mp500 driver, but then you can only choose 600dpi


What can be improoved:
    Borderless printing generally works, but there is a small (1 or 2 mm) strip at the left end of the page (when printing landscape format)
    Printer doesnt print if quality = economy

If someone says me with which settings i have to play arround i would be very happy to provide a perfect working mp600 ppd file. Anyways thank you for your work ColinK - and everyone else who helped. ;)

i installed my IP5200 like i read on the pixma howto from wiki.

after system start my /var/log/cups/error_log tells me:
Code:
I [09/Jan/2007:11:33:51 +0100] Listening to 0.0.0.0:631 on fd 2...

I [09/Jan/2007:11:33:51 +0100] Listening to /var/run/cups/cups.sock on fd 3...


when i try to print the testpage it tells me: (the cups center gets the printjob right, somehow it disappears like there was no error but nothing happens)

I [09/Jan/2007:17:38:43 +0100] Started "/usr/libexec/cups/cgi-bin/printers.cgi" (pid=8416)


maybe it was wrong that i simply copied the /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij to /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocanonij because i got an error that there was no file there (maybe this was relly stupid and i dont really know the deifference between lib and libexec ^^ )

kde: 3.5.5
kernel: 2.6.18-gentoo-r3 on i686
cups: 1.2.6
cnijfilter: 2.60 with ip7500 useflag set

the kde printer controle center tells me that the connection to cups failed (error 15)

greetz,
jan

I dont think that the i560 is covered by the driver (pixma) - http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-i560

It shows that it is using another driver, and that its only partially supported.

Hi,

I use cups 1.2.7 and the cnijfilter-2.60-r6.ebuild and can't seem to get my iP4200 to work. The cups webinterface keeps telling me:

does anybody know what to do? (if you need any more logs please tell me so)

PS: someone said that adding the three files from the rpm to /usr/lib/bjlib/ worked for him/her. If I copy them there I get (in the cups webinterface)
Code:
USB_Printer_1_with_status_readback_for_Canon_IJ "/usr/libexec/cups/backend/cnij_usb failed


PPS: someone else mentioned
Quote:
PPPS: I forgot, I had some troubles with the cnij_usb backend and CUPS-1.2.2. Just don't use it and use the traditionnal usb backend

maybe this could help, but how do I change to the "traditional usb backend"[/code]?

PPPS: I should probably also mention that a process called "cifip4200" is running twice and each instance uses up 49% CPU, leaving me with a very slow machine... maybe also connected to the problem?

Hi!

I have problem with my ip4200. I succeeded to compile and install cnijfilter with the help of the Wiki (I'm using amd64).
I can print somehow at the first time but after I never succeeded to print another page. It looks like from the logs that everything was successful and sent to the printer. The last 3 lines:
Code:

D [29/Jan/2007:13:38:35 +0100] [Job 59] Wrote 8192 bytes of print data...
D [29/Jan/2007:13:38:35 +0100] [Job 59] Read 8192 bytes of print data...
d [29/Jan/2007:13:38:45 +0100] cupsdCheckJobs: Job 59: state_value=5, loaded=yes

I read nearly all the forum but I didn't found any corresponding post. If anybody use ip4200 under amd64 please tell me how can he/she did it.
Thanks for any help.

Because of missing spaces, the net-print/bjfilter/bjfilter-2.50-r6.ebuild didn't work for me with paludis (portage alternative). I repaired it, so it doesn't produce errors any more.

If somebody needs it you can get the repaired ebuild here: http://drzile.dyndns.org/canon/net-print/bjfilter/bjfilter-2.50-r6.ebuild

-- EDIT ---
The following has nothing to do with ebuild's correctness.

Installing on amd64 produced this error for me

Using binutils-2.17.50.0.12 might be the problem. I tried with my LDFLAGS="... hashstyle=both" and LDFLAGS="".

Hi,

my first try to emerge cnijfilter for PIXMA 4200 failed. And because turboprint failed too I expected a more general problem. So I ran an emerge -e system and two packages failed to compile:
sys-fs/udev
net-misc/iputil

So I used the unstable versions ~amd64.

Than it worked like it should be.

Thanks for giving back.

I also want to thank you for putting the wiki and this thread together. I just got my Pixma MP760 working with your guidance. One caveat worth noting for KDE users. They should compile kdelibs with -O2 instead of -O3.

I'm thinking about buying a Canon Pixma MP600. How well is it supported in Gentoo Linux?
Do all options work? (printing, scanning, resolutions, ...)

I'd use it in on amd64 (intel core 2 duo processor)

As i mentioned earlyer i wanted a MP600 for christmas, and now guess what: I got it.

There are some points where the support could be improved, but first the things that work:
    It can print at High Quality, upto 2400dpi - using the ip4200 driver
    Works with the mp500 driver, but then you can only choose 600dpi


What can be improoved:
    Borderless printing generally works, but there is a small (1 or 2 mm) strip at the left end of the page (when printing landscape format)
    Printer doesnt print if quality = economy

If someone says me with which settings i have to play arround i would be very happy to provide a perfect working mp600 ppd file. Anyways thank you for your work ColinK - and everyone else who helped. ;)


I dind try to scan, but printing is good using the ip4200 driver. But as i will have to print borderless, i have to fddle arround with the settings. Maybe someone is able to help me ?

Hi, I have a Pixma iP 1600 and using an amd64 system. I was following the Wiki HOWTO, and downloaded the cnijfilter ebuild into /usr/local/portage/net-print/cnijfilter and the two patches in that/files and also the emul ebuild into /usr/local/portage/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-bjdeps with the patches in that/files and ran
Code:
BdONsPC cnijfilter # emerge --digest -av cnijfilter-2.60-r6.ebuild
emerging by path implies --oneshot... adding --oneshot to options.

*** emerging by path is broken and may not always work!!!


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-bjdeps-0.1-r1  0 kB [1]
[ebuild  N    ] app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-compat-1.0-r1  0 kB
[ebuild  N    ] net-print/cnijfilter-2.60-r6  USE="amd64 ip2200 -ip4200 -ip6600d -ip7500 -mp500 -nocupsdetection -servicetools" 0 kB [1]

Total: 3 packages (3 new), Size of downloads: 0 kB

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y

Does anyone know how to fix this?
