I'm still "stumped" but it sounds as if there is a solution within my grasp, thanks, but I, and perhaps others, would value a bit more help understanding what it is.
Wireless printing to my Canon MP620 works fine from Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10 from both my desktop and my Asus EeePC 1000. I've been uprgading my Asus beyond 8.10 so I can use Vodafone K3565 mobile broadband dongle and 9.04 is the earliest that supports that - which it does well. So right now I have 9.04 on the Asus 8GB SSD (ext3 with no swap file) hoping it's stability/maturity will enable me to get the printer working. I still can, as an alternative with some inconvenience when I need to print, boot the Asus into the old 8.04 installation which I originally put on the 32GB SSD. Attempting to print from 9.04 immediately produces the print dialogue saying, "<Printer location> recoverable. Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds...; Printer 'Canon' may not be connected." http://localhost:631/ shows CUPS 1.3.9 managing my MP620 via IPP(http) at Device URI: http://192.168.1.150 which I set my router to assign to the printer's MAC.There is the footnote there: "See "Network Printers" for the correct URI to use with your printer." and I've looked at that (and it is what I try to print as a test) but find it heavy going - is that my mistake? Should I use AppSocket rather than IPP? System->Administration->Printing reports the printer Properties->Settings->Printer State as "Idle - recoverable. Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds..." and Properties->Ink/Toner Levels->Status Messages as "Printer 'Canon' may not be connected." So AndyPiper's, "I simply pointed the bjnp: URL to the new IP address of the printer in System->Administration->Printing" is tantalising but just too cryptic for my level of understanding though clearly not for Colin's. Could one of you unpack it just a bit more, please? Where do I need to insert something different and how do I know what to insert? -- Obscure notification message: 'com.apple.print.recoverable' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447940 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
