Printing problem

Tisse · 2015-10-09 19:58:43

I have a Canon MG6350 printer and I am using the driver from AUR (I've tried some other drivers as well, like gutenprint, but they don't seem to work at all).
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cnij … 6300/#news

It works fine when I print a test page but when I try to print a document from libreoffice, I first get a blank page and then I get a page with the following text:
ERROR:
typecheck
OFFENDING COMMAND:
resourcestatus
STACK:
0
-mark-
-mark-
-mark-
-mark-

This printer has worked perfectly before and the cups error log is empty.
Do anyone have a suggestion on what I can do?

try something to find more info

Command-line configuration
    CUPS can be fully controlled from command-line with nice tools, i.e. the lp* and the cups* command families.
    On Arch Linux, most commands support auto-completion with common shells. Also note that command-line switches cannot be grouped.
    List the devices
    # lpinfo -v
    List the drivers
    # lpinfo -m
    Add a new printer
    # lpadmin -p printer -E -v device -P ppd
    The printer is up to you. The device can be retrieved from the 'lpinfo -v' command. Example:
    # lpadmin -p HP_DESKJET_940C -E -v "usb://HP/DESKJET%20940C?serial=CN16E6C364BH"  -P /usr/share/ppd/HP/hp-deskjet_940c.ppd.gz
    In the following, the printer references the name you have used here to set up the printer.
    Set the default printer
    $ lpoptions -d printer
    Check the status
    $ lpstat -s
    $ lpstat -p printer
    Deactivate a printer
    # cupsdisable printer
    Activate a printer
    # cupsenable printer
    Remove a printer
    First set it to reject all incoming entries:
    # cupsreject printer
    Then disable it.
    # cupsdisable printer
    Finally remove it.
    # lpadmin -x printer
    Print a file
    $ lpr file
    $ lpr -# 17 file              # print the file 17 times
    $ echo "Hello, world!" | lpr -p # print the result of a command. The -p switch adds a header.
    Check the printing queue
    $ lpq
    $ lpq -a # on all printers
    Clear the printing queue
    # lprm   # remove last entry only
    # lprm - # remove all entries
    Alternative CUPS interfaces
    GNOME
    You can configure and manage printers by installing system-config-printer. This program does pull in some gnome dependencies.
    If your user does not have sufficient priviliges to administer the cups scheduler, system-config-printer will request the root password when it starts. You can avoid this by performing the following instructions.
    1. Create a group for administering the cups scheduler:
    # groupadd lpadmin
    2. Add yourself to the newly created group:
    # usermod -aG lpadmin username
    3. Tell cups to respect the newly created group:
    /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
     ...
     SystemGroup sys root lpadmin
     ...
    4. Restart cups org.cups.cupsd.service using systemd.
    5. Log out and log in again or restart your computer.

Not a SysAdmin problem. Moving to Kernel and Hardware.
