I found a long discussion on one website, that gutenprint hat developed an better backend for the canon Selphy printer. There for CUPS may not include a backend for that printers.
http://gutenprint.996281.n3.nabble.com/Updated-spooler-for-Canon-Selphy- dye-sub-printers-td6198.html And indeed, I found an entrance in cups-1.7.0 source code which says it is blacklist: # Canon SELPHY CP510 0x04a9 0x3128 blacklist But the manual of gutenprint says: “Gutenprint 5.2 no longer provides the epson and canon back ends provided by earlier releases of Gutenprint to return printer status information. Instead, the standard back ends (such as the usb backend) should be used.” Hey folks, does this mean we now have no backend for canon Selphy printers at all? I only have the wish to print some picture-cards for my family. :-( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256832 Title: Canon Selphy CP510 not recognised by CUPS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1256832/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
