Hi everyboy and thanks in advance for your help.

As you can see, my printer is recognized by CUPS. I have installed linux-capt-drv-v271-jp (My printer is a Japanese one).
I installed and uninstalled CUPS a dozen of times trying different configurations of CAPT and various driver versions (mainly the Japanese and the UK driver)

I may also add that the level of the black toner might be low (I received a message when confirming that the printer worked worrectly on my SO's Windows PC)
I also uninstalled gutenprint along the way as I was told it might interfere with CAPT.

With all this troubleshooting, I was still unable to print anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wish you all a happy New Year!

The following Canon printer models and series are supported only by the Canon UFR II LT driver version 1.50:

LBP6030/LBP6040/LBP6018L, LBP6230/LBP6240, LBP7100C/LBP7110C, LBP8100

Canon's web site describes the driver as a CAPT rather than URFII

I did not find an exact match for your printer



You may need 32bit libs as described in the Debian canon printer wiki

https://wiki.debian.org/PrinterDriver/Canon/UFR-II

Thank you fot your quick reply.

Are you saying that my printer is not supported by CAPT?

I installed CAPT Printer Driver for Linux V2.71 and it seems that my printer is (supposed to be) supported.

I apologize if there was any confusion in my original post.

Update: I have resolved part of the problem.

I successfully printed a test page thanks to the following script
https://github.com/hieplpvip/canon_printer

If anyone runs this script unsuccessfully, make sure to stop cups before running it (worked for me).

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/cups stop

Upon running the script, an "applet" (for lack of a better word) for the printer appears with a lot of options that do not seem to be present in cups.
In my case, I was able to print after overriding a warning message concerning my drummer. I assume this is why previous jobs did not go through.

The problem I am having is that this "applet" disappears upon restarting and that I cannot find how to launch it anywhere. I will start the install again and look at the logs too

EDIT: Just found the script to launch the monitor. I'm putting it here in case anybody needs it.

Code: Select all

captstatusui -P LBP7010C

Thanks shep for helping me figuring out the issue. I'm closing this thread. Feel free to contact me if you have any problems with the CAPT drivers as I got to read quite a lot about it in the last 24 hours

Cheers!
