Well, I have been messing around reinstalling this driver and I just successfully printed a test page. The only problem is I can only do this from the web interface http://localhost:631/ and not through the add printer gui. I can print a test page and anything in firefox but I can't print from open office. This also happened when I first installed the driver and when I rebooted, I couldn't print anything. And to be clear, I can add the printer in the printing gui, just not print anything.
To answer your question, the printer model is specifically identified as MP500 Ver. 2.6. Also the website I got the drivers from provide 3 .deb files: libcnbj-2.6 bjfilter-2.6 pstocanonbj. I believe they are derived from Canon Japan which are provided in .rpm. Could it be a permission problem of some sort? Also, I see "cupsdAuthorize: No authentication data provided" quite often in the error_log. Is this a sign of anything? -- Canon MP500 won't print https://launchpad.net/bugs/73166 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
