The scanner doesn't work yet but it's detected, did i miss something?? thanks a lot for guide me

Glad to help.
IIRC, Scangearmp doesn't offer many choices. If you really want a PDF file, you could do it manually as followsbut it makes a png file, no other choice? pdf for example
Code: Select all
pngtopnm scan.png > scan.pnm
pnmtops scan.pnm > scan.ps
ps2pdf scan.ps scan.pdf
What Puppy are you using?Using cups 1.3.1.1, trying to get a canon i550 to work...suggestions?
All Puppies have the Gutenprint driver package, so you should definitely be seeing SOME Canon printers.As it stands I don't even have Canon listed as an available make even though it does see it when I search for printers...
In this case, Puppy 4.0 (it's the only one that works with this Linksys usb wireless, another baffling mystery). And no, the word "Canon" is not even listed at all.rcrsn51 wrote:What Puppy are you using?Using cups 1.3.1.1, trying to get a canon i550 to work...suggestions?All Puppies have the Gutenprint driver package, so you should definitely be seeing SOME Canon printers.As it stands I don't even have Canon listed as an available make even though it does see it when I search for printers...
Sweet! Will do then I'll post back...thanks!rcrsn51 wrote:Then you also need to install the Gutenprint driver package as described in the other thread here.
Canon uses a driver called CAPT for some of its laser printers. This is a larger and more complicated driver than those for ink-jets. The most recent version is
Look for it in the Canon Europe site. Or just Google it!
Download and extract the package. Locate the two files cndrvcups-common_2.20-1_i386.deb and cndrvcups-capt_2.20-1_i386.deb. In most Puppies, you can install these by clicking on them.
Then open a console and type:
Run the CUPS web interface.
Install the printer in CUPS as a CAPT device.
Enter the URI as: ccp://localhost:59687
Give it the same name as the printer model. For example, "LBP6000".
Open a console and type:
Do a test print.
If your printer is networked and has an IP address, you can add it with:
If you have problems, here are some trouble-shooting tips:
1. Reboot your computer and printer.
The ccpd daemon should automatically start running again.
Check this with the "ps" command.
2. Run: captstatusui -P LBP6000
Does it see a connection to your printer?
3. Run: ccpdadmin
You can delete a printer from the list with: ccpdadmin -x LBP6000
Then restart the daemon with: /etc/init.d/ccpd restart

Some Canon printers use a driver named UFRII. . This one is easier to install. Download and extract the package
Locate the two files cndrvcups-common_xxx.deb and cndrvcups-ufr2-uk_xxx.deb. In most Puppies, you can install these by clicking on them.
Make sure that you pick the correct 32/64bit versions for your Puppy.
Run the CUPS web interface. USB printers should install with the usual procedure. Networked printers will require a URI something like the following, which may be auto-detected by CUPS.
