[solved then broken] Canon Pixma MP490 (CNIJFILTER v3.2) Arch x86_64

Having tried to compile the source code from Canon without success on x86_64...
So, having tried to modify various aur packages for lib32 with partial success: no printer tools from Canon working.

I have finally used the binary packages from Canon.
Had no success with the deb files but succeeded with the rpms.

On x86_64, here is how I've done:
- install lib32-popt, lib32-gtk2, lib32-libxml2, lib32-libpng12  and enventually lib32-oxygen-gtk2

- download the two RPM 32 bits v3.2 packages (for mp250, mp270, mp490, mp550, mp560, ip4700, mp640) on Canon Australia website. For MP490.
- extract them somewhere in your home
- rename /usr/lib folder to /usr/lib32
- now you should have:

/usr/local/share/printuimpXXX/     where XXX is your printer mp model
/usr/local/share/cngpijmonmpXXX/
/usr/local/share/cngpijmonmpXXX/pixmaps/

/usr/local/share/locale/   <- (languages definition files)

/usr/local/bin/printuimpXXX
/usr/local/bin/cngpijmonmpXXX
/usr/local/bin/cnijnetprn
/usr/local/bin/cifmpXXX
/usr/local/bin/cnijnpr
/usr/local/bin/cngpij
/usr/local/bin/lgmonmpXXX

/usr/lib32/libcnbpessYYY.so*    YYY corresponding to your model

/usr/lib32/cups/
/usr/lib32/cups/backend/
/usr/lib32/cups/backend/cnijusb
/usr/lib32/cups/backend/cnijnet

/usr/lib32/cups/filter/
/usr/lib32/cups/filter/pstocanonij

/usr/lib32/libcnbpoYYY.so*
/usr/lib32/libcnbpcnclbjcmdYYY.so*
/usr/lib32/libcnbpcnclapiYYY.so*
/usr/lib32/libcnbpcmcmYYY.so*
/usr/lib32/libcnbpcncluiYYY.so*

/usr/lib32/bjlib/
/usr/lib32/bjlib/cifmpXXX.conf
/usr/lib32/bjlib/cnnet.ini
/usr/lib32/bjlib/cnb_YYY0.tbl
/usr/lib32/bjlib/cnbpnameYYY.tbl

/usr/lib32/libcnnet.so.1.1.0

usr/share/cups/model/canonmpXXX.ppd
/usr/share/doc/*

chown root:root the files with 755 perms and copy everything to /

Then in your /usr/lib/cups/backend/ symlink:

/usr/lib/cups/backend/cnijusb -> /usr/lib32/cups/backend/cnijusb
/usr/lib/cups/backend/cnijnet -> /usr/lib32/cups/backend/cnijnet

Same thing symlink:
in /usr/lib/cups/filter/ :

/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij -> /usr/lib32/cups/filter/pstocanonij

in /usr/lib/bjlib/ :

/usr/lib/bjlib/cifmpXXX.conf -> /usr/lib32/bjlib/cifmpXXX.conf
/usr/lib/bjlib/cnnet.ini -> /usr/lib32/bjlib/cnnet.ini
/usr/lib/bjlib/cnb_YYY0.tbl -> /usr/lib32/bjlib/cnb_YYY0.tbl
/usr/lib/bjlib/cnbpnameYYY.tbl -> /usr/lib32/bjlib/cnbpnameYYY.tbl


And now after a /sbin/ldconfig everything works. here is a screenshot.
You can use the Canon printer tools with: /usr/local/bin/cngpij -P Canon_MPXXX_series  <- must be the name your gave to your printer in Cups.

You can also change your ppd in some cases, for example on my MP490:

*OpenUI *Resolution/Output Resolution: PickOne
*DefaultResolution: 2400dpi
*Resolution 600dpi/600 dpi: "<</HWResolution[600 600]>>setpagedevice"           <- The default resolution
*Resolution 1200dpi/1200 dpi: "<</HWResolution[1200 1200]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 2400dpi/2400 dpi: "<</HWResolution[2400 2400]>>setpagedevice"
*Resolution 2400dpi/4800 DPI: "<</HWResolution[2400 4800]>>setpagedevice"
*CloseUI: *Resolution

*OpenUI *CNQuality/Quality: PickOne
*DefaultCNQuality: 3
*CNQuality 2/High: "2"
*CNQuality 3/Normal: "3"
*CNQuality 4/Standard: "4"
*CNQuality 5/Economy: "5"
*CloseUI: *CNQuality

*OpenUI *CNGrayscale/Grayscale: PickOne    <- For Grayscale printing
*DefaultCNGrayscale: true
*CNGrayscale false/Off: "false"
*CNGrayscale true/On: "true"
*CloseUI: *CNGrayscale

After adding my users to lp group with : gpasswd -a myuser lp
I've also added /lib/udev/rules.d/99-local.rules with: ATTRS{idVendor}=="04a9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="173c", MODE:="0666", GROUP:="lp"

I am new to Archlinux, so I will see if I have time to make a package.

Edit: needs now to ln -s /usr/lib32/libtiff.so.5 /usr/lib32/libtiff.so.3

You may take the lib32-cnijfilter-mp560 package as reference.

Hi !
I'm trying your tuto but when :

You can use the Canon printer tools with: /usr/local/bin/cngpij -P Canon_MPXXX_series  <- must be the name your gave to your printer in Cups.

[root@falcon final]# /usr/local/bin/cngpij -P Canon_MP550_series
ERROR: Illegal printer name.

Is Canon_MP550_series your exact cups name for the printer ?

Re: [solved then broken] Canon Pixma MP490 (CNIJFILTER v3.2) Arch x86_64

Archlinux x86_64 june 2012

Because I could'nt any more use the xsane application with my MP490 (log said: usbfs: interface 1 claimed by usblp while 'scanimage' sets config #1 and because I had to chmod a+w /dev/bus/usb/00X/00Y for the scanner to work), I have finally blacklisted now the usblp in:

/etc/modprobe.d/rcconf_settings_blacklist.conf by inserting : blacklist usblp

Also in the cups web interface (http://localhost:631), I have changed the printer from cnijusb:/dev/usb/lp0 to proposed : usb://Canon/MP490%20series?serial=103BD5&interface=1

Unfortunately, even Canon's Australia site does not seem to have Linux drivers for my MP620. sad

It seems the following user got the MP630 driver to work with the MP620.

You might read through the blog for options.

Re: [solved then broken] Canon Pixma MP490 (CNIJFILTER v3.2) Arch x86_64

I am finally able to print to my Canon MP620 from Arch! I have been trying to get this to work for almost 9 months.

Here are the two things that I believe gave the solution: 1) Found cups-bjnp on Sourceforge.net, compiled and installed it. There is a package for it in the AUR, but it kept giving me md5sum errors when I ran makepkg -s. 2) Found and installed package gutenprint, which includes open source drivers for many printers, including mine.

YAY!

Re: [solved then broken] Canon Pixma MP490 (CNIJFILTER v3.2) Arch x86_64

Since yesterday, the CNIJFILTER v3.2 binaries do not work anymore.
And so, the original drivers from Canon are useless.

I guess the binaries were compiled with an old glibc version that is not supported anymore under Arch.

Do you observe same behavior ?

# ldd /usr/lib32/cups/filter/pstocanonij
         n'est pas un exécutable dynamique

My next printer will be an HP.

EDIT: found the solution, my /lib/ folder had some old firmware folder and I was unable to install latest glibc without deleting it.

My Canon printer is back.

Just a simple check:

# ldd /usr/local/bin/cifmp490
        linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7724000)
        libcnbpcmcm358.so => /usr/lib32/libcnbpcmcm358.so (0xf76d5000)
        libcnbpess358.so => /usr/lib32/libcnbpess358.so (0xf7656000)
        libm.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7617000)
        libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7612000)
        libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib32/libtiff.so.3 (0xf759f000)
        libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libpng12.so.0 (0xf7573000)
        libcnbpcnclapi358.so => /usr/lib32/libcnbpcnclapi358.so (0xf756b000)
        libcnbpcnclbjcmd358.so => /usr/lib32/libcnbpcnclbjcmd358.so (0xf7567000)
        libcnbpcnclui358.so => /usr/lib32/libcnbpcnclui358.so (0xf7561000)
        libpopt.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libpopt.so.0 (0xf7553000)
        libc.so.6 => /usr/lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf73ad000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib32/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7392000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7725000)
        libjpeg.so.8 => /usr/lib32/libjpeg.so.8 (0xf734e000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib32/libz.so.1 (0xf7337000)


Notice: I've also tried for a couple of days the Gutenprint solution, it's far from being perfect but it can really help.
