Dear Ed and all,
I managed to make it work by reading the documentation in deep. The
problem was this:
As said in the readme file of the Doc directory that comes with the CATP
driver package,
I had to use -P <full-path-to-the-PPD-file>:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -P
/usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E
while the instructions I found on Google use the -m:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP2900 -m CNCUPSLBP2900CAPTK.ppd -v
ccp://localhost:59787 -E
To summarize the steps as this may benefits someone else later:
- Download and install CAPT driver package from here:
http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/L...
- Register the printer with this command:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -P
/usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E
where the PPD file got placed in the folder /usr/share/cups/model/ by
the driver package installed in the above step.
- Start the CCP daemon:
/etc/init.d/ccpd start
- Print a TestPage
I could also use the "Add Printer" link from the CUPS Web page
http://localhost:631/admin and specifying the correct Device URI
(ccp://localhost:59787/) and selecting the correct PPD file
(/usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd).
If TestPage does not work, try to restart the printer.
I found that, when I plug in the printer, the CUPS system adds/installs
automatically; however that one does not work and if I tried to print
TestPage with it; I won't work and mess it all up: the printer won't
print any more even with the correct setup I had before. I need to
restart the printer to make it work again.
That is all my observations.
Now, I need a little more help: how can I disable the automatic
adding/installing of printer by CUPS?
I tried with "Browsing Off" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf" but did not do it.
Again, thanks for all the help so far, very much appreciated.
Regards,
Khem
