pstocanonbj or bjfilter [x86_64]

[francois]

I have played with cups last night and came out with the following modules for 64 bit based on slackware 14.1 and porteus 3.0:
https://www.mediafire.com/?bhy9fpse72s3y

It was working fine yesterday, except for the test page. Correction for print test page error is given here at post 7:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/710881
http://www.bsmdevelopment.com/Reference ... 30002.html

However, it will print from libreoffice writer on my brother printer. It seems that you need cups-filter and qpdf for the proper functioning of the package.

I have built cups 1.6.4 from:
http://www.cups.org/software.php
https://github.com/willysr/SlackHacks/t ... uilds/cups

It works in always fresh mode. Presently I am unable to remove cups 1.5.x. I don't know the strategy.

07-printing.xzm with cups 1.6.4

I tried this module with these modules

Canon PIXMA iP5000 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9

I have this error:

Code: Select all

With this module pstocanonbj_3.3.orig_x86_64.xzm (canonpixmaip1500.ppd) i have this familiar log:

francois, my Canon iP1500 is a veteran 8)
I have this printer since 2002 year

canon pixma ip1500 waste ink absorber is full

I have cleaned the absorber 3 times on this veteran (fixyourownprinter.com/forums/inkjet/41348)

factory reset

What do you mean about factory reset?

Are we talking about iP1500 or iP5000?

This is really a hard one to fix.

Look at this following thread. I don't know how come we did not fell on it before. Someone has used the strategy spring 2013 and it still works. All you have is to translate in slackware terms:

Re: Canon PIXMA iP1500 under 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid)
Great! You have been the Man who saved all new Ubuntu / Linux 64bit users with an old Canon PIXMA iP1500!!!!

If that final ppd works, please share it with us. I imagine that ahau will be glad to include it in the most recent version of the printer pack.

Good luck.

[Blaze]

francois, thanks.
Lots of dancing with tambourines
Probably need to copy necessary from Ubuntu to Porteus?

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

[Ahau]

Nice work, blaze and francois! I'm happy you got it working!

@blaze, is this with cups 1.6 and/or additional packages beyond the 07-printing.xzm module, or do you just need to have the ppd file? Did you have to link libraries as shown in that link? I'm hoping not...

If you can provide a list of all the packages and files necessary and/or prepare a module with them, I can get them into the mainline 07-printing.xzm module so other users with this printer won't have to go through this misery to get it working

[Blaze]

francois, thank you very much for http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1517089

I have made this module ip1500.xzm
and my Canon IP1500 now is working in Porteus but i have troubles
in AbiWord - does not print
in LibreOffice - prints squares instead of letters (English or Russian - no difference)
only Kwrite work for me fine.

[francois]

Hi Blaze. I am very happy to read that you finally got a partial but functional solution to your printing problem.

1) Have you tried printing pdf and ps file types thru the command line:
- lp filename.pdf
- lp filename.ps

If this does not work see what is your printer name:
- lpstat -p -d

And then:
- lp -d printer filename


2.0 looking on the net for your ppd content with keywords:

Code: Select all

*FileVersion: "1.0"*FormatVersion: "4.3"*LanguageEncoding: ISOLatin1*LanguageVersion: English*Manufacturer: "Canon"*ModelName: "Canon PIXMA iP1500"*NickName: "Canon PIXMA iP1500 Ver.2.50"*PCFileName: "CNPM1500.PPD"*Product: "(pixmaip1500)"*PSVersion: "(3010.000) 550"*PSVersion: "(3010.000) 651"*PSVersion: "(3010.000) 705"*ShortNickName: "PIXMAiP1500"

I found some modifications to that ppd of yours that I hope might improve your solution:

From italian and deutch sites:
http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Hardware/Stam ... 28pixma%29
http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/druck ... st-1125917

2.11 Essentially you would have to replace the following content to your IP1500:

Code: Select all

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne 
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

With:

Code: Select all

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne 
*DefaultResolution: 600
*Resolution 300/300 dpi: "<</HWResolution[300 300]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 600/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 1200/1200 dpi: "<</HWResolution[1200 1200]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

2.12 and you would have to add the following content (maybe just after what you just have modified):

Code: Select all

*OpenUI *CNQuality/Quality: PickOne 
*DefaultCNQuality: 3
*CNQuality 2/High: "2"
*CNQuality 3/Normal: "3"
*CNQuality 4/Standard: "4"
*CNQuality 5/Economy: "5"
*CloseUI: *CNQuality

I compare the differences with Kompare from the application > development > Diff/Patch frontend.

I get the canoni250.ppd that looks so similar to the file that you developped that it is almost a similar copy.

Maybe you should give a small try in case it does the perfect job. Who knows?

Hi francois.
I'm happy too
I tried to print pdf and ps and it work fine for me.
ppd file provided by the deutch site work for me too.
canoni250.ppd does not work on IP1500

Results:
in LibreOffice (by Porteus Team or from PaulBy) - prints squares instead of letters (English or Russian - no difference)
in AbiWord by Porteus Team - print fine (l use this module Abiword-2.8.6-x64.xzm from PaulBy - does not print)
in Openoffice - print fine too

I've used both ppd files canonpixmaip1500-blaze-francois.ppd and standard canonpixmaip1500.ppd
All works well. Thanks for your help.

BTW updated ip1500.xzm with canonpixmaip1500-blaze-francois.ppd

Regards,
Blaze

Hi blaze. Finally are you working with slackware standard cups 1.5.4?

[Blaze]

Hi francois.
Yes. I used cups 1.5.4, but and cups 1.6.4 work good with my printer.
BTW when i use cups 1.6.4 and print a test page i see CUPS 1.5.4 version ))

similar squares I have for some i486 programs on x86_64 and then I install pango-compat32-1.30.1-x86_64-1compat32.txz (Slackware 14.0) or pango-compat32-1.34.1-x86_64-1compat32.txz (Slackware 14.1) (or pango-1.30.1-i486-1.txz, pango-1.34.1-i486-1.txz) http://pkgs.org/search/?query=pango&type=smart
But these packages dosen't work if they are converted to xzm and probably if session is saved - must choose Install slackware package!
Is it the same problem for Porteus i486?

EDIT:
No need to install pango (already exist), run this:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/update-pango-querymodules

Hello Blaze,

Did you manage to build the cups-filter package? Are you under porteus 3.0 or 2.1? What slackbuild did you used to get the job done?

You would make me happy providing a link to your 1.6.4 cups and cups-filters package.

[Blaze]

hi francois.

I don't build the cups-filter package. I'm under porteus 3.0 (07-printing.xzm (package cups 1.5.4 or package cups 1.6.4) and ip1500.xzm only).
For cups-1.7.0-x86_64-1wsr.xzm i used this cups.SlackBuild look at this

07-printing.xzm with cups 1.6.4 (it's your module z-cups-1.6.4-x86_64-1wsr.xzm)

I built it to suit

please unpack your module holding cups-1.5.4 (prinitng.xzm?) and then run following command:

Code: Select all

ROOT=/path/folder_of_unpacked_module removepkg cups

Where /path/folder_of_unpacked_module - it's way for folder of unpacked module
Extract cups-1.7.0-x86_64-1wsr.xzm
copy contents of the folder cups-1.7.0-x86_64-1wsr to the folder 07-printing and then to build 07-printing.xzm module.
