Hallo,
I have spent hours on this, including the debian website.
I have installed CUPS and have done "apt-cache policy printer-driver all."
I used localhost/631 to add the printer and I'm on Jessie with xfce.
and so the uri for the wired canon printer is lpd: // (ip)/queue
I can ping the printer's ip and get a response, using the machine with
Jessie.
But all print jobs sent produce different errors, from "the printer is
in use" to "not connected."
I have checked /etc/cups/printers.conf file to ensure the uri is correct.
I'm really upset. If you can help, this would be great.
Thanks a lot.
Probably a typo on your part but shouldn't that be localhost:631?
The larger problem is all the effort you are expending. Having installed
CUPS, very little else needs to be done. Go to the localhost:631 page
and click on the Administration page. Then click on Find New Printers.
The CUPS detection process works quite well. Don't try to out-guess it.
Purge the CUPS install (aptitude purge cups or apt-get purge cups) then
do a fresh install and let it do its job.
