Printer Drivers

Post by philnk »

Why isn't my canon mp-600 recognized? I see gutenprint package is installed. Aren't Canon drivers included?

Good question. Hmm, there is no entry found at http://linuxprinting.org, so I guess you are unlucky with cups :( :roll:
Try to buy some printer with postscript support or at least ps emulation. ;)

EDIT:
Have you tried? http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp610linux/files/
A collection of enhanced PPD files for Canon Pixma MP600 and MP610 all-in-one printers, and a Sane scanner driver for Canon Pixma MP140, MP210, MP520, MP610, MP710, MX700 for up to 4800 dpi resolution, that can be used with Sane 1.0.18 or 1.0.19.

I have a mp610 usb printer which was perfectly recognized in 13.0 & not at all in 13.1.

Here is the reason why + the fix: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUP ... CUPS_1.4.x

What really matters is where you are going, not where you come from.
