[SOLVED] CreateProfile failed-TS5120, job completes but nothing prints

I set up CUPS with my printer, installed the 'print-manager' GUI for KDE and added my Canon PIXMA TS5120 printer there.
There was no specific driver for the PIXMA TS5120, so I just chose the 'TS5000 series - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.3' one.

When I set up the printer, and before I try to print anything, my output log in /var/log/cups/error_log looks like this:

W [14/Oct/2020:00:37:09 -0500] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id \'Canon_TS5100_series-Gray..\' already exists
W [14/Oct/2020:00:37:09 -0500] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists:profile id \'Canon_TS5100_series-RGB..\' already exists

When I try to print the test page or anything else, I can see my printer processing for a little bit but it doesn't print anything.
Furthermore, checking the job in the CUPS admin panel says that the job was completed successfully (except it didn't print anything).

Any ideas on how I might be able to fix this? I've looked at other threads online and the suggestions listed there didn't work for me.

EDIT: the issue is likely that gutenprint currently does not have a driver for the PIXMA TS5120 and the generic TS5000 series driver does not work:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gimp-print/ma … /36582102/
Still would like to know if it would be possible at all to print from my TS5120 through some other means.

Hi,

I have already seen that thread and it has nothing to do with the issue I'm having. Their issue is that the print job is pending, and mine is that my print job was completed but did not print anything in actuality.
I have no option to "Resume Printer" because my printer's job was not paused/pending.

I don't see anything in that thread about 'CreateProfile' failing, either.

Bumping this thread to say that I've done some research and the issue is likely that gutenprint currently does not have a driver for the PIXMA TS5120 and the generic TS5000 series driver does not work:
https://sourceforge.net/p/gimp-print/ma … /36582102/

Re: [SOLVED] CreateProfile failed-TS5120, job completes but nothing prints

Since it is a wireless printer with AirPrint, you should at least be able to use driverless printing over wifi. In the best case you only have to install and start avahi in addition to cups and your printer should be automatically detected. Otherwise you may try to start cups-browsed or add it manually.
Edit: If you use systemd-resolved, you'll have to disable its mDNS/DNS-SD support.

It may also be possible that the printer supports the same protocol over usb. For that you'll need the ipp-usb package.

Edit: For the scanner you might be able to use sane-airscan

Otherwise, you'll have to try packaging the "IJ Printer Driver Ver. 5.50" similar to other cnijfilter packages in the AUR, for the scanner you could try the same with ScanGear 3.50. https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/port … _downloads

Thank you so much for your advice and support!
After thinking over your cnijfilter package comment, I noticed that the IJ Printer driver for the TS5120 was just a generic one, and so on a whim I installed the 'cnijfilter2' package from the AUR.
I then added a printer using the KDE print-manager and the recommended driver was exactly the TS5100 5.5 one.
After that it worked like a charm! Thanks again!
