Having tried umpteen suggestions from numerous sources, including from Konic-Minolta Japan that didn't work, I found an installation method that worked for me and also allowed the Bizhub C220 to print two sided and the setup seems to include all other options! I seem to have stumbled upon a solution to all the problems I encountered, including printer freeze-up, when trying to print over LAN to a Konica-Minolta Bizhub C220 using the K-M supplied driver with 64 bit Linux Mint 14. The solution I found somewhere buried in some K-M documentation I can no longer find, sorry. Nevertheless, the OpenPrinting installation guide does mention lsb3.2 main under apt-get indexing in the Postscript-Konica_Minolta section.
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/DriverPackages http://www.openprinting.org/driver/Postscript-KONICA_MINOLTA/ So, before installing the printer driver, install LSB using Synaptic. It's that simple. The K-M PPD works a charm after that. I did the following to install the driver: Install LSB through Synaptic to get the distro specific one (the package triggers the installation of other lsb-* items such as lsb-printing) Under Printers click Add Select Network Printer Select the Konica Minolta C360 that shows “AppSocket/JetDirect network printer via DNS-SD” Click Forward – wait while a driver search opens “New Printer” window Select “Provide PPD file” Go to where the “C360_Series_Linux_v10001.0000/CUPS1.2/EN/KOC360UX” file is located Click Open & Forward/Forward and write the Location if required Click Apply, and Print test page. Settings for paper size, one sided/two/sided printing etc. need to be done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053443 Title: Unable to print to Konica Minolta C552DS printer - job history To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gs-gpl/+bug/1053443/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
