If they power-up in the wrong order could I not power both off then use two different versions of that Console command line you gave me to reset them one at a time?

BTW: I'm willing to leave the color printer off most of the time and to only power it up as needed - if that is necessary.

So the solution may be to just swap printers when someone needs to print color.

If I want to do that on the fly what would be the most-simple way to get CUPS to see the settings for the color printer when switched in vs the usually on P1006?

There are a number of strategies for handling the Canon printer, from using it as a local USB printer on a particular computer, to buying a little network-attached printer server box.

All I can suggest is that you try it different ways and see which is more convenient.

Thanks for your assistance.

I will experiment a bit.

BTW: How would I alter the Console reset command line for the P1006 if I swap-in the MG2100 now and then, please?

cat /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihoP1006.dl | nc -w 1 192.168.1.1:9100

It wouldn't change. You still only get to use Port 9100.

This part "sihoP1006.dl" isn't device-specific?

The command ONLY applies to the HP. The Canon does not require firmware.

Thanks!

Hello,

I need install canon E510 driver, please, help me!

thank.

This E-series must only be available in Asia. I have built the driver and posted it here. Click the gray Download button on the left.

In CUPS, your printer will be listed as a Canon E510 Series, not as a PIXMA.

Please report back. If the driver works, I will build the matching scanner driver.

It's work!
Thank you very much for help!
Can you give a scan driver for this Canon E510 ?

Excellent. I have posted the E510 scanner driver here. Make sure that you also install the "common" package.

This driver does NOT work with Xsane. Use the Scangearmp program instead.

Hello,

Thank you for scan drive,

Hi
I am looking for a file for a pixma ip1600 printer

This is quite an old printer

Thanks in advance

There is no Linux driver for the iP1600. But I found a site that claimed you could use the iP2200 driver instead.

There is a download link for the iP2200 on the first page. Click the grey Download button on the left.

Please report back.

I have been using Puppy Slacko 5.6 and CUPS for printing on ancient turn of the century Canon S750, and it worked fine, but the old printer is showing its age and needs to be retired.

Bought new Canon MX922, but have not been able to get it to work with Slacko 5.6. No CUPS driver, tried several other Canon models listed in CUPS update of 2012 without success, but am aware that Canon Asia did post a driver for the MX920 series for Debian Linux. Also the printer does work WiFi with Windows, Apple IPad, IPhone, Android smart phones and tablets, And Canon has posted their PIXMA Printing System (PPS) on Google Play.

Any chance of getting a PET update for CUPS to support the Canon MX922?

Would be greatly appreciated.

Update 1-04/01/2014
Have not seen any responses or suggestions, expert rcrsn51 has not posted since end of Jan., hope he is OK... Anyway I am still trying to get Canon MX922 CUPS to work, tried installing the MX920 series Debian driver, showed up in CUPS when I searched for new printers, but printing went into bit bucket, and status showed complete with nothing printed. Then I installed into Slacko 5.7, Chrome 21 pet that was posted by Playdaz a while back... It supports Google Cloud print which most newer printers support... and it works !!! So certainly one way to get basic wireless printing from newer or printers that do not have Linux drivers, but do support Google Cloud print, when printer is WiFi connected. Also cloud printing working well with Android smartphones, tablets, and Apple IPads and IPhones. None need any specific driver to print.

Curious and like to hear from others on their experiences with making newer printers work, or other, even better solutions.

Update 2-04/01/2014, Edit 04/02/2014
More searching... found peebee on 3/18 posted a updated Chromium 33.0.750 sfs specifically for Slacko 5.7. I loaded it, works now after I discovered that my response to data encryption caused failure to log onto my Google account.

Update 3-04/05/2014
Noticed that yesterday 04/04/2014 OscarTalks shows latest Chrome 33 pet posted. Installed it on Slacko 5.7, works great. I am still wondering why after nearly two months, thousands of views, not as single comment, or suggestion about CUPS and Canon MX922 driver. I understand that the many Cloud ready new printers that Chrome on Puppy Linux probably will enable basic printing without need for CUPS driver, which may not be available. I also wonder if there is a Google catch to get in user's wallet !!!

I have posted a PET for the Canon MX920 series driver here.
