HCL/Printers

From openSUSE

General information on printing in openSUSE is currently (4 July 2007) spread in few articles where YaST Printer and SDB Printing articles are good start for openSUSE. It is also good to check Linux Printing for the latest in linux, that usually will become available in next openSUSE release currently under development. See Released Version and Development Version.

Laser HL-2040

Autodetected: , USB port, 10.0, 10.1 10.2, 10.3, 11.0, 11.1 rpm install, great as local usb printer and Linux print server, using either Samba or IPP. Read the OpenSUSE HOWTO or another HowTo and Notes

Laser HL-1850

Autodetected: , USB port, 10.2 rpm install Download CUPS Driver at bottom of page, then follow these instructions

MFC-465CN

Autodetected: , Ethernet, 11.0 RPM install Requires LPR driver and CUPS wrapper. Brother provides installation instructions. On x86_64 system you must create a symlink from file installed at /usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrappermfc465cn /usr/lib64... RPM sets up the print queue for USB, change to network URI socket://HOST:9100.

Canon

i320

Autodetected: . USB port, Must use Turboprint drivers

i450

Autodetected: . USB port, Works fine with Canon BJC-7004 Foomatic/bjc800

i550

Autodetected: , USB port, 10.0

Select model Canon BJC-7100 and change PPD file to Foomatic/bjc800.

PIXMA MP210

Autodetected:

USB, openSUSE 11.0.

Selected MP180 from the available drivers list and it seems to work perfectly. Did not test scanning.

PIXMA MP220

Autodetected:

Selected MP180 from available printers and this worked OK as this is a multi function printer the scanner needs configuring separately. Though the Pixma SANE driver exists have not yet tried it.

PIXMA MP510

Autodetected:

Selected "BJC-8200 Foomatic/bj8pa06n" from the list, printer works ok.

PIXMA MP760

Autodetected: , USB port. Driver installed automatically under openSUSE 11.0 and printer works "out of the box". Not so under 11.1: printer is autodetected and identified correctly but no driver is found.

PIXMA i1600

Autodetected: , USB port, Driver -- cnijfilter-ip2200 rpm available

PIXMA iP3000

Not Autodetected: Need to change the printer name from "Canon iP3000" to "Canon PIXMA iP3000"

The following comments were from a previous post:

• I am using iP 3000 Canon printer with all of following drivers taken from the list:
• ( presently installed Opensuse 10.3, formerly Suse 10.0 and openSuse 10.2 with same results
  1. 1 BJC7000-Foomatic/bjc800
  2. 2 BJC7004-Foomatic/bjc800
  3. 3 BJC7100-Foomatic/bjc800, all offering free choice of papersupply,
  4. 4 BJC8200-Foomatic/bj8pa06
• Testprints and daily printwork are satisfactory.
• 2 features are missing:
• * indication of remaining colour level
• * reverse side printing
• Testing BJC 3000 showed prints that were out of scale.
• Sept.11.2008: I added Modell Pixma iP 3000 from the list.
• Result: Correct size,correct scale and reverseside ( duplex )printing is now possible.
• Same results after having installed open Suse 11.0. and on openSUSE 11.1.kde3.5.10
• (For openSUSE 11.1.:when installing with Yast the driverlist will appear only when entering just <Canon> instead of taking the autodetected printerversion)

PIXMA iP4200

Autodetected: , USB port, Working with Canon's Filters

for 32 bit: pdc_2: recommend you go here

http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/P/search?model=PIXMA+iP4200&menu=download&filter=0&ca_os=Linux

and firstly download Canon Inkjet Print Filter Ver. 2.60 for Linux (Operation guide)[Explanation of the iP4200 operation (html file). Download as tar.gz to your desktop; right-click; open with file roller; select extract from file roller; a new folder on your desktop should be created; open that folder; open the next folder (ip4200; look in menu folder; select "guide_conte.htm" and it will open in your web browser; read the instuctions; (several times); follow them exactly;

then download the rpm Common package and the rpm Package for iP4200; the instructions will tell you to install the common first, and then the ip4200 package;

PIXMA iP4200 == 64 bit

try Gutenprint or the Canon drivers; (Canon as detailed above);

see here http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/411351-ip4200-im-stuck.html

for more guidance; (you will need to make a symbolic link from the 64bit libraries to the 32bit libraries)log in as root: the # at the beginning signifies root log in # ln -s /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocanonij /usr/lib64/cups/filter

montfinal edited his ppd file: if you use the above symbolic link, that should work

Alternatively, to get the 32-bit drivers to work on an x86_64 OS, do the following:

• 1) Load 32-bit RPMs for: popt, gdk, gtk, gtk-devel, libxml, libpng, libglib, libgmodule
• 2) Load i586 RPM: libpng3
• 3) Add a link BEFORE installing printer drivers. The install will create directories /usr/lib/cups/backend, driver and filter

  ln  -s  /usr/lib64/cups  /usr/lib/cups

• 4) Install printer drivers (versions may be different) NOTE: libxml dependencies will be met by the 64-bit libxml libraries

  rpm -i --nodeps cnijfilter-common-2.60-3.i386.rpm
  rpm -i --nodeps cnijfilter-ip4200-2.60-4.i386.rpm

• 5) /etc/init.d/cups restart
• 6) Use "Yast- Hardware- Printer" to add your printer
• 7) Use "Yast- Hardware- Printer- Edit- All Options..." to set "papersize=letter"

P.S. For diagnostics, set "loglevel debug" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, restart cups, "tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log", and print

PIXMA iP5000

Autodetected: , USB port, 10.3, 11.0, 11.1
Works for daily text printing. Photo resolution limited to 600dpi.

PIXMA iP5200

Autodetected: , USB port, Not working! Works only with TurboPrint drivers =>1.94. Tested on openSUSE 10.1 and 10.2.

PIXMA iP5200R

Autodetected: will not work as networked printer in opensuse 10.3 or 11.0. works connected with USB cable & using Canon PIXMAiP5200-cups+gutenprint v5.0.1 driver (PIXMA_iP5200_gutenprint.5.0.sim-en.ppd.gz).

Canon LBP series

for a 32 bit OpenSuse install

the printer drivers WILL work; if you follow the Canon instructions;

http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0031118.asp

but firstly install the howto guide; guide-capt-1.8xE.tar.gz from the above page; I suggest downloading to your desktop; open with file roller, and then extract from the file roller menu to your desktop; that creates a new folder, called guide-capt-1.8 and inside that click on manual_contents.html and an excellent howto opens up in your web browser; read it several times;

then follow the instructions; item 5 talks of "Register the printer (PPD) with the print spooler." You need to know the name of the ppd file; use gnome search or the KDE equivalent; some end in J, others K; identify yours; likely to be in /usr/share/cups/model; eg for LBP5000 it will be CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd

continue to follow the instructions; Canon say in item 7 "Start ccpd daemon.Enter the following command. # /etc/init.d/ccpd start" this gives it for this use of the printer

and very importantly: Note:* It would be convenient to set ccpd daemon to start automatically when Linux starts up. You do this manually each time by typing in the above command, or for automatic, have suse insert the service

cd /etc/init.d

sudo insserv -v ccpd

FOR 64BIT SUSE

(for Canon LBP series)

oldcraft gives an excellent howto in post #6; http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/410015-canon-lbb5100-capt-driver-x86_64-a.html

he describes how to use source files, so the 64 bit system works;

Stylus Colour C44UX

Autodetected:

Printer works fully. Is fast. Has some problems with PDF files opened via Adove Reader version 8. My printer is installed via a network share, provided by a Buffalo NAS drive. No utilities for monitoring ink levels, cleaning printer heads or performing a nozzle check.

Stylus Color C62

Autodetected:

Default printing is slower than default printing in Windows, but it can be changed using YaST Printer or dialog Properties from Print menu item in every application. This is probably valid for all other Epson printers in Stylus Color series. For maintenance, like query ink levels, can be used escputil that is included in distribution. For more information type escputil --help.

Stylus DX4000

Autodetected: - It works correctly with DX3850 driver - USB, SUSE 11.1

Stylus DX4400

Autodetected: USB, SUSE 11.0

Although there are official drivers out for it, see [1] they do not work. You can get the print function working through the use of the DX3850 drivers but be warned it's behaviour is strange. Often it will shut itself down when it's prompted to print and then start the printing when turned on again. I doubt the ink level warnings are working properly so it might damage the printheads if you keep printing with a low ink level. Scanner does not work at all.

Stylus DX4450

Autodetected: Detected as DX4400 - Does not work properly, not even with the Avasys official Epson drivers. - USB, SUSE 10.3

Works perfectly.

FS-1020-D

Autodetected: , USB, Suse 10.3

Works perfectly. (incuding duplex and optional paper slot)

Autodetected: , USB, Suse 11.1

Unfortunately yast doesn't find a driver for the printer. (see details below) The trick is to

- get the ppd-file for the printer from http://www.linuxprinting.org

- start the web interface to cups: http://localhost:631/

- install the printer using "Manage Printers"

- if asked for the printer name, use the ppd file (loaded with the button - cups only listed the newer FS1030D model)

Details for yast: The printer is detected, but no driver found.

Trying to install PPD from vendor CD: PPD seems to be parsed and accepted, but yast still complains about missing driver.

ML-2240

Autodetected: 11.0 11.1

Installed Unified Linux Drivers from printer setup CD, then configured printer with CUPS. Works great! But I think it's worth mentioning the security warning: http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Samsung-ML-2240.

Autodetected: . 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 -- Required driver included on setup CD for 10.1 and 10.2. CD driver won't work with 10.3 kernel

Auto detected and configured in YAST in 10.3.

CLP-300

Autodetected: . 10.3 -- Printer was not connected directly to computer. Samsung provided all required drivers and utilities. Utility did require the input of the root password in order to read printer from network

CLP-550N

works well by copying the clp550n.ppd file to /usr/share/cups/model/samsung and setup as new usb or network conected printer with yast. (the 192.168.1.xxx address can be obtained from the printer menu).

CLP-610ND

the samsung CD setup works but dosn't always find the networked printer (autosetup with USB connection not checked). if the auto setup finishes but fails to find the network address, it can be fixed by editing the printer with yast or by setting up as a new printer with yast and using the CLP-610splc.ppd file from the CD.

CLX-2160

It works in OpenSuse 10.2 and 10.3 with Samsung Unified Driver 2.00.97. In OpenSuse 10.3 you MUST mount usbfs. In OpenSuse 11.0 edit a line for usbfs in fstab and mount it in a console or by a shell script

SCX-4200

Autodetected: Download and install latest driver from Samsung. Works in 10.x and 11.x. Once set up, CUPS server prints fine from remote pcs using one of the ML-12xx or 14xx ppd driver files for printing.

Xerox

Phaser 6120

Autodetected: , supplied with Linux PPD, or download from Xerox [[2]]

Works with openSUSE 10.2 out of box.

Also works on openSUSE11.0 and 11.1 after loading Xerox supplied ppd. (using on lastest 10.3 also)

Phaser 3117

Detected, but doesn't work with the default PPD. Select Samsung ML-1710's PPD. (Not the one listed as "GDI", but the other, "1.0"). With that driver, it works perfectly.
