canon pixus / canon pixma ip100 printer

hi

I'm trying to get a Canon Pixma iP100 printer connected by usb working with my arch linux.

cups 2.0.1-1
linux 3.18.4-1

for this I created and installed the following packages from the AUR repo

cnijfilter-common
cnijfilter-ip100

and installed the printer over the cups web interface.

the printer is detected as usb://Canon/ip100%20series?serial=123456 as soon as I connect it by usb.

when I first tried to print a test page, there was an error about the missing file /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij so I copied it from the pkg folder to this location.

when I now try to print the test page, the status is changing to "Sending data to printer" and the print job disappears after a short time. But the printer isn't doing a thing.

I also tried to print over the console

lp -d Canon_iP100_series -oraw out.txt

but the only thing that happens is that the printer's status led is blinking once.

I was also able to grab the data (pdf) which is sent by cups to the printer: https://filepaste.puzzle.ch/downloads/3 … d00047-001

thanks for any help

Re: canon pixus / canon pixma ip100 printer

now I installed the printer with the gutenprint driver, but no change so far.

gutenprint v5.2.10
