I want to print in draft mode

#1 Post by DebianSpirit »

Debian 11

I have a multifunction printer, Canon brand.

And I can only print in normal and high ink quality but not in draft quality. This means that I have to spend a lot of ink.

Is there any solution?

Thank you.

The TS5150 is driverless enabled. How is the printer installed?

https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201311

Have you tried setting up a driverless print queue?

Thank you

But, the first link with reference to Apple, what does this have to do with Debian 11?

For now I will follow the second link, since I do not understand the first or I do not understand you.

I want to make it clear that I see the printer is from a Wi-Fi network. And I can print before explaining the problem.

Only that I cannot print double-sided since the printer interprets double-sided as two independent prints.

And printing in draft mode does not exist, it only prints in normal and high.

I get this in the Debian 11 terminal:

avahi-browse -rt _ipp._tcp

Go to what you want to print and press Ctrl+Space+P.

Choose the printer.

Click on Image Quality

Choose Draft.

What happens?

For double sided, click on Page Setup. Experiment with One Sided/Two sided Layout. What happens?

In draft mode:

This option is simply not there, however, in other operating systems such as W..., there is draft mode. In Debian there is only Normal and high.

Regarding double-sided printing, there are all the options, but the problem is that when I say double-sided printing, it prints side A on one sheet and side B on another sheet.

Both cases in Debian 10 everything was perfect, without any problem.

AirPrint enables instant printing of photos, emails, web pages and documents from Mac & iOS devices, without the need to install drivers or download software. Simply select an AirPrint printer and print.
https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consume ... int_guide/

Also works in Linux:
AirPrint is an extension of the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), which many printers already support either directly, or as a result of being shared through an intermediary system (typically CUPS, the Mac/Linux printing system).

Is the draft option not available under Image Quality in the print dialogue?

Hello,
According to Debian Wiki, there are some interesting commands in the cups-ipp-utils package you can use to verify the printer capabilities attributes as exposed by the printer using the ipp protocol [1]. It could be interesting to query your printer to verify if the draft printing quality is available a printer level.

When I had an ink jet printer, I used ecofont. For now they seem to provide only windows installers. After a quick net search I found links how to use in linux.
