Printer Canon MP540 succesfully added finally but doesn't print? (Attached Debug log)
- by NES
i tried to setup my printer in Ubuntu 10.10. I had to use special guide to install because Canon used libcupsys2 in its packages and ubuntu expects libscupsys i followed this guide in reference to this advice.
The first problem was this one (the ubuntu "add printer dialog asked for root credentials". The suggested workarout in Launchpad to create a root password worked.
Now i added the printer. It's available for printing. Then i got an error message "cups insecure filter" which prevented me from printing. That could be solved by setting the need root rights in the /usr/lib/cups/filter/ directory. The error message disappeared after restarting cups service. Now it should work but it doesn't.
The main problem is now, the printer seems to be proper setup but
when i try to print a document, the printer icon appears for short time in gnomepanel. There's a printing job in Queue which got completed, but the printer doesn't print.
I attached the Debuglog provided by printer error control, had to upload to another site, since it was to big in the question body here.
Perhaps someone can identify the problem with it?
Note: i know that it once worked fine with an older release of Ubuntu, but not sure which version this was.
