sorry if this has been asked before, but: why is there no grayscale option of the IP4200?

I tried adding

*ColorModel Gray/Grayscale:     "<</cupsColorSpace 0/cupsColorOrder 0>>setpagedevice"

manually, but it doesnt seem to work on the printer...

maybe we could use a filter? I dont wanna waste precious color on stupid websites, so this would be a good feature.....

@bd0N: edit the ebuild and append " || die" to every command in src_unpack(). Try again and send me you new error report.

@kEiNsTeiN: You may go ahead and edit the *.ppd file. If you get it working, send me your modified *.ppd file and I'll ship a patch with this ebuild.

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 7:57 am

This lines are strange:

environment, line 3760: Called src_unpack
emul-linux-x86-bjdeps-0.1-r1.ebuild, line 50: Called die

line 50 is the last line of src_install() and contains just a closing bracket '}'. Can you confirm this?

It somehow looks as if it wants to install before unpacking.

rm: cannot remove `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-bjdeps-0.1-r1/image//usr/share'

This error can only be caused if line 48 was executed too early (i.e. before compilation).

Is there anything unusual about your system?..

BdON · Post by **BdON** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 2:39 pm

Seems there was a little line run-off in my file compared to the one on the site, so I fixed it and ran it again and it gave me line 48 that it died on.

Code: Select all

        rm -Rv ${D}/usr/share || die

As far as anything unusual about my system, I don't know what you're really referring to but everything is pretty normal. amd64 architecture like I said, kernel-2.6.20-rc5, printer is usb.

I have no idea how to modify a ppd-thingy... since it didnt work the way I tried...

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 3:40 pm

Bd0n: this simply should not occur. I'm sorry, but I don't understand this error, except there are any other differences in your ebuild.

keinstein: I don't know if it's possibly to print greyscale with this driver. But you can take a look at '/usr/share/cups/model/canon*.ppd' installed by bjfilter/cnijfilter. You may want to compare different ppd's of these ebuilds. If one of them contains something about greyscale, you could then try to copy it to your ppd-file and see if it works.. If it works, let me know.

BdON · Post by **BdON** » Mon Feb 19, 2007 4:34 pm

I got it to work by deleting every file and folder I made while attempting to install my printer, and then remade all of the folders and re-saved everything where it should be, and it worked. Thanks for your help

zxy · Post by **zxy** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 1:05 am

I posted some time ago that i couldn't compile the net-print/bjfilter-2.50-r6
Now after some updates were done to the emul libs it compiled on amd64 (with the corrected ebuild for paludis)

I didn't test it yet because i don't have a printer here (will be in a few days)

andy_barosanu · Post by **andy_barosanu** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 2:11 pm

Hi,
i just got the Canon MP150 working great under CUPS using gutenprint snapshot "gutenprint20070125.tar.bz2" from here http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... up_id=1537 . It prints both graphics and text vrey well. I didn't try photo printing or scanning.
Hope this helps.

Andy.

kEiNsTeiN · Post by **kEiNsTeiN** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 3:06 pm

does Gutenprint work for the ip4200? Including Grayscale support? How about printing quality? Comparable to native drivers?

I'm going to paypal 5$ to the one who can tell me how to use that fucking printer with native drivers INCLUDING freaking grayscale!!!

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 7:52 am

Which useflags do you use to compile bjfilter?
What's your LINGUAS flag in make.conf?

Try if this works:

LINGUAS="en" emerge bjfilter ...

I don't have LINGUAS set in make.conf. However, running LINGUAS="en" emerge bjfilter did the trick. Thanks a lot I appreciate your help.

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 7:03 am

This is somewhat strange, because the ebuild checks if LINGUAS is set. If it's not, it'll set it to "en".

Code: Select all

        if [ -z "$LINGUAS" ]; then    # -z tests to see if the argument is empty
                ewarn "You didn't specify 'LINGUAS' in your make.conf. Assuming"
                ewarn "english localisation, i.e. 'LINGUAS=\"en\"'."
                LINGUAS="en"
        fi

Do you have similar variables set to some non-english language?

No, I didn't have LINGUAS set at all...

Hi,
I have a problem with printuipixusip4100!
If I try to start it, it stops itself without doing anything

My printer needs cleaning!!!

Anything I can do?
Thanks!

Does anyone know if the canon pixma iP6210D is compatible with either of the drivers?

Perhaps I'll try some of the other drivers later, but wasting ink at the moment seems like a bad idea

I`m stuck in the same boat but I don`t have the "R" version, just plain mp800. Did you succeed with this?

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Fri Mar 23, 2007 5:24 pm

I suggest you to try other driver models too!
And I suggest you to start with the "cnijfilter" package, as it's newer!

Alternatively use Turboprint in the meantime (until Canon provides a new package - or Gutenprint covers the pixma series).

dayul · Post by **dayul** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 8:35 am

gimp-print (Gutenprint) 5.1.0 is working well for me (Canon MP760), even duplex is working now

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Thu May 10, 2007 9:34 pm

Great News:

* Gutenprint actually supports a few pixmas now
* Canon released a new set of drivers cnijfilter-2.70

-> check it out

I have MP800R and Turboprint works, the free version is limited to 300DPI, with higher resolutions you have their logo printed in. With "R" I can print even throught newtork using protocol Socket and prot 9100.

I tried both cnijfilter and Turboprint. There is no major difference except that big *snip* logo in the middle with Turboprint. This is when using MP600 on cnijfilter (I have MP800). Using for ex MP160 makes all the text/colors/pictures garbled. On both, the title and url of the document is also offset but that's no big issue. Seems to work fine now. Thanks.
