I've tried thsi with my i250, also using BJC 7000 and 7100, and it seems to send the job to my printer OK (the light flashes when I click print...) but it just says 'media tray empty' in the CUPS web interface printer status. Anyone know how to override it? Or is it just because its a lowly i250, not a fancy i5/7/850

how do you select which will be printing?

Sorry for the late reply (missed the topic I guess).
printerx-draft and printerx-color are names I use to set up the printers in CUPS. So I can print to the printer with the appropriate name.
This is even easier if you use a GUI like kprinter or gtklp for your printing-control.
Instead of calling lpr I call kprinter and choose my printer from there.

Yes, I had great results with the Canon drivers, but now cupsd won't starts. Here is the error log in debug2 mode :

Here's the error when I execute /usr/lib/cups/backend/socket

Code: Select all

network socket "Unknown" "AppSocket/HP JetDirect"

stormer · Post by **stormer** » Mon Dec 08, 2003 4:34 pm

I removed all parallel backend from cups and now it works. Probably a proplem with parport modules in kernel 2.6

Thank you Sohryu!

I had tried a different method and it ALMOST worked. Well, the drivers showed up in the list when configuring cups anyway.

I emerged rpm (i know, i know

) and just installed the two files (bjfilterpixus550i-2.2-0.i386.rpm and bjfiltercups-2.2-0.i386.rpm) via rpm.

But it would just seem to vaporize the print jobs before they got to the printer.

The final step for me to get it to work was Sohryu's step number 7 on the list:

7. go into /usr/lib and do the following:

ls libpng*

there should be a libpng.so.3
if there is a libpng.so.2 you don't need to do the following:
if there is no libpng then you should emerge libpng

then do: ln -sf /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2

I didn't have a libpng.so.2, so I linked as described, restarted cups, and voila! It printed! And pretty darn good I might add!

So, my steps were:

Code: Select all

#emerge rpm
#rpm -Uvh bjfilterpixus550i-2.2-0.i386.rpm
#rpm -Uvh bjfiltercups-2.2-0.i386.rpm

Follow step 7 in the quote above.
Set up the printer in cups.
PRINT!

However, I did install the turboprint demo (and got my i950 working with that) after my rpm steps but before Sohryu's step #7, but I hardly think that had anything to do with my success.

Happy Holidays!

I'll report the same. Turboprint driver works (a bit off centered), but I'm not paying that much for printer drivers!

Thanks, it also works for a i455.

Squinky86 · Post by **Squinky86** » Sat Jan 31, 2004 12:32 am

Just tried the i250 with the howto at the beginning instead of the previously suggested 7000/7100 BJC drivers. It still does not work, so there's no celebrating for us cheap-o users yet.

symbiote · Post by **symbiote** » Sat Mar 06, 2004 7:49 am

It works, but it's terrible.

You can't seem to print multiple pages at once. It dies. It takes 3920540354 tries before it actually prints anything.

I got exactly the same problem as you.
I had the canon_usb:/dev/usb/lp0 working perfectly untill a hard disk failure...
And i spent hours making it work again.

Now i got the solution :

the debug log say :
Error: invalid printer model name
After checking the source code, this is a message of the bjfilter...
after inspecting /usr/local/bin/pixus550i_ps and launching the commands by hand, i simply realized that :javascript:emoticon(':idea:')

/usr/lib/bjlib IS INSTALLED WITHOUT BASIC ACCESS PERMISSIONS !!!javascript:emoticon(':oops:')

SO YOU MUST SIMPLY EXECUTE AS superuser :
chmod -R +rx /usr/lib/bjlib

And it works...javascript:emoticon(':D')
I recommend using the canon_usb:/dev/usb/lp0 backend because it works fine and automatically switch the printer on...

To me, it sounds all right except this line above... You have one of this linux installed without libpng.so.2....

And i think the job you send to the printer is simply empty (there is just the postscript header and trailer...), that is why the led flash, and nothing outputs.

You need to trust another user in this forum : Sohryu Asuka Langley tells you to create a symbolic link on next version of this library. I think it might help you :

	ln -s /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2

For more details search about libpng in this forum.
Sometimes I wonder if Linux is not on its way to the windowization (a sort of unmanageable anarchy)...

What a mess !
I do not have the problem and my help might well end here...

All i can say is that this message is issued by the bjfilter-2.2-0 and more exactly in bjfimage.c (get the source at canon japan site)...
The problem is locally either a malformed image file (which one ?, produced by which tool ?), or a not supported file format (but this should have been caught by the filter chain), or maybe an incompatibility between versions libpng.so.2 and libpng.so.3 ??? (take a look at release notes in /usr/share/doc if you will)

I've tried the symbolic link libpng.so.2 -> libpng.so.3, but that does not prevent me from printing images... and other users would have complained too... so your are on your own.

- Since the same error message is used 4 or 5 times in the source, you might try adding a lot of debug messages in bjfimage.c, recompile and install it and look the result in /var/log again... and isolate the problem more precisely... And then pray a guru...

- You might also try to load and install libpng2-1.0.12 (i use this one as libpng.so.2), but it is just a bet...

Maybe the problem depends on the kind of job you try to print...
By the way, between Job 1 and Job 18, isn't there any damned page that finally burst out of your printer ?

Sorry for this no-value-added message, that's all a n00b can do anyway.

2gophix:

I had exactly the same problem. There is a typo in the tutorial - it says to create the directory /usr/lib/bjilib, whereas the correct directory is /usr/lib/bjlib. In my case renaming helped - try it.

My printer worked.
Here's what I did in the order I did it:

# emerge cups
# emerge foomatic
# emerge gimp-print
Download two files from http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/bj/bjlinux221.html.
And Save to a temporary directory such as /tmp.
1) bjfilterpixus550i-2.2-1.i386.rpm
2) bjfiltercups-2.2-1.i386.rpm
# ln -sf /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2
# emerge alien
# cd /tmp
# alien -t bjfilterpixus550i-2.2-1.i386.rpm
# alien -t bjfiltercups-2.2-1.i386.rpm
# tar xvfz bjfilterpixus550i-2.2.tgz
# tar xvfz bjfiltercups-2.2.tgz
# cd usr
# cp -r * /usr
# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libcnbpcmcm154.so.5.71.2 libcnbpcmcm154.so
# ln -s libcnbpcnclapi154.so.2.2.0 libcnbpcnclapi154.so
# ln -s libcnbpcnclbjcmd154.so.2.2.0 libcnbpcnclbjcmd154.so
# ln -s libcnbpcnclui154.so.2.2.0 libcnbpcnclui154.so
# ln -s libcnbphtmg154.so.5.60.1 libcnbphtmg154.so
# ln -s libcnbpo154.so.1.0.4 libcnbpo154.so
# ln -s libcnbpsmth154.so.3.34.1 libcnbpsmth154.so
# ln -s libcnbpwcc154.so.5.41.1 libcnbpwcc154.so
# chmod 755 bjlib

I can confirm that these filter drivers work well for my Canon i865. I used the following two rpm archives:

bjfiltercups-2.4-0.i386.tar.gz
bjfilterpixus860i-2.4-0.i386.rpm

But I have two additions to your tutorial which should be added:

1. You don't have to install foomatic or gimp-print for these filter drivers to work! You just have to emerge cups!

2. In USA and Japan the printers are named: 560i, 860i and 960i.
In Europe these models are named i565, i865 and i965. The ONLY difference is that due to copyright restrictions

the device units in the USA and Japan are sold without the CD printing kit!
