It works, but I'd prefer to use something else that allows status sharing, etc, so that I can use double sided printing, and initiate head cleaning, but I just don't know what to specify in the protocol (I've tried many combinations using http:, ipp:, socket:) but all I can get is either "Unable to get printer status" or "Printer busy" messages.Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: How to download and install Canon PIXMA MP640 driver Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP () Specifications The lp queue name was a lucky guess! But since everything has to be host rendered, LPD is s. With mixed success - the only protocol I can talk to it on is LPD (using lpd:///lp). Sadly, the auto detect still didn't pick it up as a network printer, but I bravely went ahead and tried to manually install it. I swapped the Pi for a 512MB model - I was previously using a 256MB model - and lo and behold! Output on the printer!!!Įncouraged, I unplugged the printer from the USB hub and reconnected it to the network. The Pi itself is doing other stuff - it's a DHCP and DNS cache server for the local network but it hardly breaks a sweat doing that workload.Īfter digging in the logs with debug set on, I noticed buried in the depths of reams of info a single error saying that memory couldn't be allocated.

Probably also should have said that I'm running Raspbian Wheezy, and have done the usual update and upgrade stuff before loading cups, etc. Once I've got this working, I intend to set it up as a cloud printer via the Pi so that I can print from phone/tablet without having to have any Windows desktops/laptops plugged in an running - saving the planet one Watt at a time I should have said in the original post that I only eventually plugged it in via the USB port because it could not be detected at all on the network, but my ultimate goal is to have the printer as a networked printer, rather than plugged directly into the Pi. Just to be on the safe side, I deleted the printer first and went through the process of finding it (it found it as a local printer) and re-adding it. I tried your suggestion, but get exactly the same result.

The only thing I can find in the error logs is when I try to add/modify the printer (which I have done many, many times over the last few days, an event is logged saying that " pid xxx (snmp) stopped with status 1".Īlbeit grey, I had a full head of hair before last weekend. There's nothing in the error log, and according to the access log, the print happily completed. There's nowt wrong with the printer - Windows XP, 7 and 8.1 happily print to it directly over USB, over wired and wireless LAN. If I directly plug the device into the USB port, the CUPS admin page recognises it as the correct device, and I can configure it to use the gutenprint driver for the device (it's in the list), but any attempt to print to it simply vanishes into the ether - the "print test page" maintenance option produces a job, which it claims completed successfully, but nothing appears on the printer. Has anyone managed to get this combination working?
