Some more notes. I ran the time command from 3 different computers I had available. Here are the results:
#1: Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-16-generic x86_64) -- from above comment $ time cnijnetprn --search auto network cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A "Canon MX860 series" "Canon-MX860-series_00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A" real 1m4.815s user 0m0.048s sys 0m0.284s #2: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (2.6.32-38-generic-pae #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 12:11:13 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux) $ time cnijnetprn --search auto network cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A "Canon MX860 series" "Canon-MX860-series_00-1E-8F-B6-E0-1A" real 0m4.218s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.044s #3: Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686) $ time cnijnetprn --search auto INFO: printer not responding; will retry in 30 seconds... INFO: INFO: printer not responding; will retry in 30 seconds... INFO: INFO: printer not responding; will retry in 30 seconds... INFO: INFO: printer not responding; will retry in 30 seconds...

INFO: ^C real 8m55.556s user 0m0.080s sys 0m0.236s The funny thing is that I could still set up printing on computer #3 and it works fine, although printing on #3 was configured differently than #1. In fact, the printer drivers are much easier to install on the i686 platform (#3) than the 64 bit platform (#1). For the 64 bit computer, I used ppa:michael-gruz/canon (which uses canonmx860.ppd), whereas for the i686, I downloaded and installed 'cnijfilter-source-3.10' and 'cnijfilter-mx860series-3.10-1-i386-deb' from Canon's website (which uses cnmx860.ppd). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910151 Title: Canon PIXMA network printer discovery fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/910151/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
