Printing and Scanning with Canon Pixma/Pixus Series

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 11:30 pm

Hi

Inspired by [topic=430913]HOWTO - Canon ...[/topic] I began writing my first ebuild (two days ago).

I visited ftp://download.canon.jp and discovered the file "bfilter-common-2.50-2.src.rpm

Because I had a lot of trouble with my brand-new Canon Pixma MP 780 myself (after migrating from XP 4 month' ago), I was motivated to contribute something to the solution of this problem. I didn't believe to be successful actually - nor that fast.

Well that's why I'm proud to present my first ebuild (for ~x86 and ~amd64)

>> Visit Canon Pixma Series on gentoo-wiki.com <<

Or get the ebuilds directly:
> scanning: [bug=138238]media-gfx/sane-pixma[/bug]
> printing: [bug=128560]net-print/bjfilter[/bug] & [bug=130645]net-print/cnijfilter[/bug]
> + printing on amd64: [bug=129352]app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-bjdeps[/bug]

Thanks for giving back. Now if I could only figure out if my i900D is compatible with any of the drivers provided... so far, the only thing I've found are commercial drivers from Germany. I would pony up the dough, but I have win2k running inside vmware when I need that printer. Oh well, at least my Brother HL-1440 works perfectly in linux.

Again, thanks and keep up the good work.

I searched for "canon printhead i900D". I discovered that the i900D, i905D, Pixma ip6000D printers use the same printhead. But it seems to be a different printhead as in any of the printers these drivers are designed for.

Thanks for the information. I never thought of including "printhead" in my searches.

Hi Colink,
Many thanks for your effort, I'm desperatly trying to run my canon 560 on my AMD64 and still no result, so I gave a try to your ebuild, just copied and run...this is the result I get. I hope this will help you

Thanks for the ebuild, i also tryed it with my amd64 and pixma4000 and get the following error:

hmm .. looks like your bash doesn't understand this.

Replace it with one line

Code: Select all

   ./autogen.sh --prefix=${_prefix} || die "Error: libs/autoconf.sh failed"

Repeat this step with every sequence of ""+newline+"||".

Please report if this solves your issue.

(But I guess you'll run into the same trouble as bladus after that.)

@bladus:

Those *.so files are precompiled 32-bit libraries from canon. They are closed source and the only binaries this ebuild doesn't compile.

I don't have any experience with AMD64. Does anyone know if it is possible to link against 32-bit libraries on AMD64? Does anyone (else) know how?

I'm sorry I can't help you better. :-/

Eugene33 · Post by **Eugene33** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 3:24 pm

Many thanks, it does the trick, so now I'm making the digest....

I'll came back later to tell you if I have the same prob for AMD64

Ok here the result:

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 3:52 pm

@Eugene33:

1. Please post /var/tmp/portage/bjfilter-2.50/temp/bjfilter-2.50-pixusip4100-ppd.patch-17513.out

2. Edit the ebuild and remove line 93: "epatch ..." -> So the patch won't be applied anymore if you retry. But that doesn't matter in your case anyway.

Please do 1 before 2.

Eugene33 · Post by **Eugene33** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 4:22 pm

Thanks ColinK for your precious help

Sorry I could not find the /var/tmp/portage/bjfilter-2.50/temp/bjfilter-2.50-pixusip4100-ppd.patch-27802.out
I tried many time to generate it but still nothing.

so I removed the patch line from the ebuild

There is some kind of progress as with the other ebuilds I crashed on another library (libcnbpcnclui189.so)

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 4:55 pm

hmm .. I was already interested why that patch didn't work for you - while it worked for me and bladus, as I suppose.

Does anyone know if it is possible to mix 32/64-bit? (especially if it is possible to compile a 64-bit application against 32-bit libraries?). Because that's what this is about.

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 7:01 pm

@Eugene33/bladus:

Do you have 32bit-emulation enabled? Someone [post=3227218]told[/post] me, that it should actually work in this case.

Eugene33 · Post by **Eugene33** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 7:08 pm

I have a 32-bit enabled, in the kernel and the emul-32.xxxxx packages
I was installed some ~x86 like ACX and the canon-560 ebuild http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61955 but always crashed with the bjfilter

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 8:38 pm

@Eugene33:

Please try the new [bug=128560]ebuild[/bug]. It should now compile in 32-bit mode on AMD64.

Good luck.

PS: did you previously place the patch in the correct folder? It has to be put in net-print/bjfilter/files/.

Eugene33 · Post by **Eugene33** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 8:58 pm

Hi ColinK
Can't wait to try it

I started the x11 modular but I will give it a try just after.

Yes I put the patch in the bjfilter/files folder

Thanks again for all your efforts

Ok I'm back

There is a little error with the dependency for emul-x86-gtklibs which should be emul-linux-x86-gtklibs. Then it stopped again, telling me I should use the multilib with GCC. I checked and Multilib was in the USE.
Anyway I think this last problem come from my station as I have 289 upgrades to do. So when I will have finished with that (and checked again that gcc is multilib....weird) I 'll come back to you.

hopefully with a Great Hourra and a bottle of beer.

Eugene33 · Post by **Eugene33** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 11:38 pm

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Tue Apr 04, 2006 4:06 pm

I fixed some bugs. The ebuild in fact didn't copy all neccessary files. Now it does.

@Eugene33:
I removed the "has_m32"-check. So your last problem is gone now, too.

And I don't know if you really need a "USE=multilib FEATURES=-sandbox"-compiled gcc. I just studied what other ebuilds did to support AMD64. It might be possible that I misunderstood something. So you might try to switch back to your normal gcc-configuration. But you might try the new ebuild first.

Ok - I fixed the dependency - but I don't know if that will help. I actually don't think so.

I guess I could need some help by someone experienced with AMD64 ebuilds - or just someone with any idea regarding this bug.

If i can help, i would, but i dont know if the Canon Pixima MP500 works with this driver.

http://www.precisionroller.com/find/can ... mp+500.htm

does this link mean that it is ip4200 compatible ?

edit: i found some files that have ip4200 in their names. Maybe I may help adding support for the mp500

ColinK · Post by **ColinK** » Tue Apr 04, 2006 9:22 pm

Ok thats actually good news because I've possibly got an explanation.

It doesn't seem to be related to AMD64 or not.

Ok I am now able to reproduce this problem.

And I solved it - the problem disapeared on my box.

I hope it will work now.

Tlaloc · Post by **Tlaloc** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:46 am

The last ebuild you posted on bugs.gentoo.org compiles for me too now. Now I have to wait for the print server to arrive to actually test printing as I am too lazy to drag the printer around twice.

But I will report if it works or not. Ah, did you fix the dependency for gtk+-1.2 in the ebuild?
Bye, Val.

EDIT: I remembered that I could also print to the printer when it is attached to the windows box through samba, and voila, after some setup work it worked well at first glance. I tried only simple documents now, but setting the paper size and paper source worked through the kprint dialogue.

Bye and thanks, Val.

Glad to hear it Tlaloc

Well, sadly i tried the last version and, for me, there is no change. Still crashing for the same library with the same error message.
