This bug is still an issue for me and other users. It is very annoying to need to use my wifes Windows PC for printing my photographs :-(
Here is now more clear bug description to re-open the bug. The bug really seems to be in the media/paper type-selection. I can only print on plain paper. If I change media type to high resolution paper or photography paper it does not print. Attached is an error log of the following procedure 1. Start cups (reboot) 2. In GIMP, print image on A4, media type: high resolution paper, rear tray --> no print 3. In GIMP, print image on a4, media type chagnged to plain paper, rear tray --> a print comes successfully out Please, look at this. I believe this affects all MG6200 serier printers that are really for photographers. This is exactly the same user group that benefits from the objectives of the gutenprint -project. High quality prints are needed also in Linux. ** Attachment added: "error_log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gutenprint/+bug/1174437/+attachment/3932775/+files/error_log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gutenprint in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1174437 Title: Canon MG6250+Gutenprint v5.2.8 does not print Status in “gutenprint” package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: I have had problems with gutenprint + my older printer already earlier and purchased a new Canon MG6250 for photo quality printing. I would like to use color managed printing with linux+gutenprint but seems tough. My printer is connected via ethernet (LAN). Connection ok. I have Kubuntu 12.04 + cups + latest gutenprint v5.2.8. (Canon PIXMA MG6200-series). When I print from any application I have tested (Libre Office, Gimp, ...) the display on the printer only says: "Processing. Please wait momentarily" but nothing comes out. I CAN print a TEST PAGE from the KDE system settings - printer configuration. Same result when I was connected via USB. This seems to be a common problem. The advice in the web seems to be to discard gutenprint and use the Canon supplied driver. My preferred choice is to use gutenprint but this issue needs to resolved. This cannot be a complicated bug. something goes wrong in communicated with the printer. Please, have a look on this bug. This is a common printer and known for good IQ with Windows.
