The current canon drivers seem broken. There is a bug filed against gimp-print as #25747.
Seems gentoo is using the development gimp-print which is badly broken in 4.3.18 and 4.3.19. The stable is 4.2.5 which is in portage - went to that and I can print again. Can any other canon users who have been hit by this add to the bug so A. show that a number of people are being affected by this, and B. portage gets put back to a working gimp-print BillK On Thu, 2003-08-21 at 23:49, Collins Richey wrote: > On Thu, 21 Aug 2003 16:17:00 +0200 > Sigurd Stordal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I have installed the latest cups, foomatic and gimp.print. > > When I print the printer test page it prints ok. printing from gimp is > > OK, but printing from ghostscript or from any other program are only > > producing two thin lines on the top of the page. > > Anyone have an idea why. > > I have a Canon BJC-6100 printer.
