Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 116905
Canon USB Printer can't print anything except a test page
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:37 EST
Description of problem: I have a Canon s450 printer that I want to use on both my FC1 workstation and some Windows machines via SAMBA. I've tried the RedHat Printtool (which would allow the printing of test pages, but nothing from any application on the linux machine), the CUPS configurator (http://localhost:631), a RAW queue and manually edited the mime.types file (for the Unsupported format 'application/octet-stream'! error fix) all to no avail. The HP LaserJet 4L on the parallel port runs perfectly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.1.19-13 Fedora Core 1 - fully updated, no non FC1 pacjages or RPMs How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Canon S450 printer via printtool. Print a test page. Seems fine. 2.try to print from The GIMP - nothing happens, no error dialogs, no printing 3.Try to print from a Windows machine - nothing happens, no error dialogs, no printing Actual results: Canon USB printer can only print test pages from printtool Expected results: Printer available to all applications, and shared via SAMBA Additional info:
Created attachment 98066 [details] CUPS Error log
This might be it: W [24/Feb/2004:02:08:39 -0500] [Job 6] Media tray empty! This erronious message comes from the kernel I think.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
