Hi to Everyone,
Canon iX6850 on Debian Stretch. CUPS 2.2.1, installed using cnijfilter
-ix6800series-4.10-1-deb
I bought it 1n 2017. It worked pretty well upto a few days ago. At least
5,000 A4 prints, maybe 100 A3, small and large photos as well. Was
installed on my LAN router (Internet Livebox). Ink tanks have been
replaced quite a few times.
3 days ago, it started printing very slowly, I mean, print starts for a
few lines, then stops for maybe 30sec, then restarts, and so on up to
the end. Each time it pauses, the Resume Button flashes 3 times... which
would seem to indicate that the problem lies in a page that would stick
in its way out... but I tend not to believe such a diagnostic, since
nothing seems stuck.
I would rather suppose that for some unknown reason (maybe a poor
connection, or internal memory not cleared...) printing pauses for a
while, which results in the lagging of a sheet, which in turns generates
this error code.
In any case, after a number of various trials, it happened a few times
that the printer resumed working normally at regular speed... which
benefit would only last until next shutdown ; At subsequent re-start, it
would generally behave the slow way again.
Test that I've done :
- Reinstalling several times the printer using same cnijfilter
-ix6800series as before, using in turn USB cable and LAN connexion : the
results were the same as before, either on LAN or USB.
- Testing this printer with another computer : a laptop operating Ubuntu
14.04, with exactly the same results either on cable or on LAN, same as
operating with my desktop running Debian Stretch. I have deleted
printers using CUPS, reinstalled those re-generated using cnijfilter...
Cancelled all jobs etc...
I must say that, whatever it prints, at whatever printing speed, the
results always are perfect as far as texts and images. Test pages
generated by CUPS seem faultless
Thanks in advance for your help
Bernard
